Quick few announcements:

Just another reminder that we are looking to close up this skip fairly soon, but we have decided to leave it open for a while longer since we have gained some new members and regular players have been away on various commitments. There are still a few people that [i]need[/i] to post in the current skip and we also have the holidays coming up here in the states. No rush. We have everything set and ready for the most part, but a few more player decisions could still change things. 

What does this mean?

Well for the regulars that have been around, not much, but new players need to listen up:

We are glad about our recent jump in players, however we were nearing the end of what has been Sol City Chapter 2 and the next event we do is going to be the [b]Finale[/b] which will then be followed by the Epilogue. [b][u]DO[/u][/b] [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] [b][u]BE[/u][/b] [b][u]DISCOURAGED[/u][/b]. There is going to be a Chapter 3 and you will be able to transfer your characters to the next thread. We usually like to take a 2-3 week break between the Chapters just as a rest period of sorts before we run a couple new Interest Checks and start up again. Your recently approved characters [u]will not need[/u] to be approved again. In the meantime, don't be afraid to still jump in and post with the events we have planned. There is still plenty of writing opportunity to be had in this chapter and just because you are new to the game does not mean that you can't still make a difference in how things pan out in Sol City for Chapter 2. The Finale is going to be wild.

Stay tuned,

~P
