The A-Team would like to issue the following bulletins relating to the game over the upcoming Christmas period.
- There will be two pause days which are Christmas Day and New Year's Day, no one should be posting IC related things on those two days.
- Furthermore, the game will be in a state of semi-hiatus from 24th December until 3rd January. This is a very busy time for most of us, especially those who have full time jobs and will be taking holidays. It's naturally expected that people will want to take full advantage of the time to see their family and friends. But the A-Team feels that it would be arbitrary to totally shut the game down completely.
The game will continue on, and all usual IC aspects of gameplay will be open. But during this period it'll be a case of opt-in to PolUK. For example, no one is going to be penalised heavily for missing the usual deadlines on questions, and because the game is slowed down there won't be so many reactive events to scrabble speeches together on. Some may wish to use this opportunity of calm before the storm to work on IG pet projects (e.g. Humber Bridge). In short everyone will have the option to contribute according to their own individual availability, this will include the A-Team too. The Admins will try to keep things ticking over, according to our internal rota - but we also need a rest so please don't expect consistent news stories, and in the nicest possible way, we should be very obliged to all of you to please be mindful that any queries should be succinct and during this semi inactive period - of a sufficiently urgent nature if Admins are being tagged.
We appreciate your ongoing support. Any questions relating to the semi-hiatus go to #feedback.
Thank you.
