The Return to Sol Multiplayer game is going to stop updating for the next few months.
The Venusian vacancy has come at a rather awkward time in-game. About 5-10 game years remain before I would have had to give up and end the game anyway. That isn't really enough time left for me to push hard at recruiting, but just long enough that I don't want it to end so soon. Still, as Maharava and Nightstar reminded me, playing SM for a multi-faction game isn't as easy as I try to pretend most days.
So, here is what's happening. I'm going to take the next few months off. Do some summer traveling. Replay old games, and get back into the Pulsar project. At the peaks before I extended turn intervals or shortened the time advanced being SM was eating nearly half my free time. Since being SM was a fun hobby it wasn't a big deal, or it wouldn't have been if I wasn't also committed to being a lead Pulsar developer.
I'll be back. After the Pulsar alpha release. Maybe I'll start a new improves scenario setup, or maybe I'll continue Return to Sol from where we left off. Feel free to drop me PM pokes to remind me to work harder.
