This writing situation is something that we just cannot ignore.
We've gotten to a point where we're averaging 6-7 battles a day, and we usually have at least one thing every day involving a dozen PC's and a fleet. I love the activity, but the current writing staff simply cannot be expected to meet this kind of workload.
I can't be expected to write every day, between organizing the update, updating the site, keeping track of everything on the forums and dealing with all the drama we've been having recently. I write when I feel like I'm up to it, but lately that has been less often, because the updates themselves have gotten increasingly more difficult.
Chan, Daren, Nirvash and Zero-0 can't be expected to write every day either, but currently they are doing so. So far the extra demand has been met by backup writers, or by Chan and Nirvash pulling all nighters, and this isn't fair. Writers shouldn't be expected to put in 20 hours a week for the RPG.
I do not expect things to get easier, I expect them to get harder. At this point people are going to have to step up, and I am going to have to get two more serious full time writers, or the RPG will probably have to be closed. Sometimes too much success and too much activity can ruin a game. We're only human, we're not getting paid for this, and we can only be expected to do so much.
