Friends! I will not keep you long. I am writing this to you for a purpose. Indeed, for four purposes. First of all, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that these few short months have been far too short a time to to rpoperly run a game for such excellent and admirable players. I don’t know half of you half as well as I would like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Second, yes, the current run of Epitome City is dead. It's not pining, it's passed on. This game is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late game. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-game.
Thirdly, I would like to give a round of acknowledgments. I would like to thank Jujun, for bringing to my knowledge the news of EC being brought back to life. I'd like to thank Ashton for all the help he gave us, and for giving us such a nice spot on the server. I'd like to thank Frankie for taking up the duty of character approving alongside Jujun when Ashton stepped down. I'd like to thank Choco for his tireless work in bringing EC back and advertizing the game. I'd like to thank N for sacrificing a LOT of her time doing a great job at character approving, and for taking up the duty of whipping the monkeys in line after Ashton's departure. I would also like to give my most humble apology for not doing a good enough job as a GM to keep EC interesting enough to keep the players coming back.
Fourthly, I am not giving up. Epitome was frankensteined back together once, so it can be done again! But this PW format isn't really working, as some of you might have noticed. Thus, I am proposing an alternative. I am offering to run a weekly game in EC setting. I haven't decided yet if it's a strictly weekly game, or if it's more like weekly events where it's still possible to players to RP between each other during the off time. The latter sounds more appealing I'm sure, I just hope this wont cause people to start running events that'll prove superior to mine and screw up the story I've been setting up. Anyways, I already have some players lined up for the game, so if you wish to do so too, post in this thread. There's room for at least few more players I'm sure. PL is 8, with 120 PP. You can use an existing character, just nerf him/her down to the requited PL and PP, or you can make a new one. Same creation rules apply as before, but I will be responsible of approving the characters this time so if you think you can get something past my radar, feel free to try. I do not encourage it however.
—Archie.
