Yea sorry, this ended. A couple of things caused it:
- only got orders from half of the player roster (really not that big a deal, but it added up, aaand...)
- chose to push the deadline back because of it, which meant the time I reserved for the update wasn't spent on it, and never found a good window of opportunity to finish the update
- new formatting screwed up the thread, meaning even the presentable parts had to be redone
- decided to finally get my pc back to the shop - i have a reserve but the new cfc interface lags like hell on it, the replacement is very old (I didn't even see your post until now because of it - currently on a web cafe)
All in all a couple of things just made updating insurmountable enough for me to give up.
You were all awesome characters and I had a lot of fun writing the parts of the update I managed to do.
When I get my old pc back, I'll just post the parts I managed to get done. The events were quite exciting, even.
And if you still trust me to host IOTs, I'm actually working on a new project which will probably start in 2-3 weeks. It's a riff on Cradle IOTs with a limited lifespan of 12 updates. This limit is integral to the game, which will have extensive detail each update, and the update limit makes it so that we'll more probably make it to the end.

If it worries you, remember that 12 updates is quite a bit.
Here's the link to the
ruleset - atm I really just need to finish the map at this point, then we can start.
