atlasmodsHello all,
Unfortunately we have sad news today as 2016 draws to a close, and I've put off writing this post for probably longer than was wise. But as I'm sure many of you have noticed by now, we the mod team of late have fallen behind in our duties to the game over the last month. After a series of unfortunate personal circumstances that bear no relation to the game, players or mod team, our wonderful Head Mod Cherry has decided to resign.
This was a difficult decision, and we wish to stress, not related to the game itself, nor to the recent player poll we conducted! We were in fact in the process of drawing up a response to the poll and discussing strategies we could implement to address player concerns in January after the Christmas period passed.
Unfortunately, along with Cherry, Radar and Mangosteen will also be resigning as mods. Vordai and our mod helper Velorum are still interested in keeping the game going, but we would need new mods to help in order to keep afloat of mod work. Vordai and Velorum are both remaining on staff, and would assist with any transitions over to a new mod team-- but we can't do it alone.
If anyone would like to express interest in stepping up to the plate to mod, please do contact us. You can PMatlasmods, or contact vordai#2794 on Discord. Outside of expressing interest in private, any moderators would, of course, be allowed to maintain anonymity.
January apps are temporarily on hold and December AC is being handwaved in the interest of making life easier for everyone. If the game continues on with a new mod team, we were looking at having an open rolling apps system-- that is, having apps open all the time, rather than open and closed in cycles, and doing away with reserves. The metaplot would not be largely affected by the transition, and we were looking at finally moving the characters into space in early January.
In the case of game closure, apps would remain closed and the game itself would remain open until the end of January for characters to wrap up any CR. If anyone has any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask them here and I'll do my best to answer them. We're deeply sorry, and thank you so much for being such a wonderful playerbase and sticking with us up until now.
All the best,
The Atlas Mod Team
