hey gang!

Thanks for being troopers the past few months here; I know the posting pace has been insane and I apologize for that. I've talked to a lot of people and the burn out is real, and several feel left behind. That's obviously unacceptable, and I apologize for pushing you all this hard to get to the end of Act 2.

So here's the plan going forward.

We're going to take this time to wind down for Act 2, resolve plot threads and set up for Act 3. Take your time, relax, and don't feel pressured to write. This is a chance to cool off.

When I feel like we're caught up, I will end act 2 and we will have a 2 week rest period between acts; no posting will be done, but feel free to plot! We'll have some fun little chats to review the last act and our character stories in Discord.

And lastly, when act 3 gets going, we're going to use less giant set pieces and focus on smaller scenes with singular posts. Instead of big combat collabs, we're going to focus on shorter posts or smaller collabs with some more breathing room. Posting will be less breakneck pace and there will be a lot more chance for personal agency; the theme is switching up from Assassin's Creed to Breath of the Wild, in a sense. Act 3 will be about resolving personal stories and making a long journey as a team while addressing lingering plot points before we reach the big finale.

Thanks for everything, guys. You're all goddamn incredible and I couldn't imagine doing this without any of you. <3
