[@Chenzor]I personally see no point in a restart.
Restarting the NRP would be the equivalent of clearing your save file for a videogame. I don't know how everybody else thinks but personally I don't delete my save files just because I haven't played a particular game for a few months. It may take a while to get the hang of things again but I prefer to continue my progress instead of starting over.

This game, and stat-based or civilization-styled NRPs in general, are somewhat the same.
Things could be different for a statless NRP where you basically build everything from narrative and interactions but here?
People put their effort and patience into where they stand now.
If somebody wish to play with a different civ and start over that's fine. But personally I'm against a global restart.
