Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

Unfortunately, a break seems to be too much to ask for. Whether because they do not wish to stop all this from occurring, or because they are unable to.

which one do you think it is?

At this point, I think I am leaning towards the latter. While their unwillingness to be forthcoming is certainly suspicious, there's been enough evidence that they cannot keep things under control as of late. As soon as we regained certain colors we lost taste, for one.

But that is simply my opinion.

nah i think i'm with you

as tempting as it is to blame them for everything it seems like they don't have control over a lot of things, even if i hate that they keep us in the dark more than they have to

I wonder if it makes them feel more in control, to withhold information from us. That at least they can ensure the masses understand less than they do.
robitussin: (and flip the switch)

if that's their reasoning they're huge assholes

I do not disagree. That is why I hope there is a better explanation.
robitussin: (or if they just fake it)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-02-16 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
yeah

fingers crossed we actually figure out what it is someday

If not, it certainly won't be for a lack of trying on the userbase's behalf.
