* Man, I....knew this day would come, but at the same time - it felt like it never would. But now that it's here, I'm getting kind of teary.
...Okay, a lot teary. Leave me alone!!
Thank all of you so much for playing in the silly little Murdergame me and Maple started. We honestly couldn't have done this without all of you, and I have met so many wonderful friends and people through it.
While not everyone who played in our rounds played in the final one, each and every person was important in helping us see this whole thing to it's completion. No matter what, I thank you all as much as I can.
I learned so many things - and there was a lot of ups and downs at times, but...in the end, there's no way I could regret this experience, or what I've done.
SCP was a game started on a desire to see new things in this kind of short-term game, and to let players have greater control over the plot and story. Though we may have failed in spots here and there, I hope at the end everyone can walk away from SCP feeling like they made a difference, and that they had fun.
In the end, that's all I ever really wanted - to see people have fun, and enjoy what's happening.
I've been able to fufill so many of my own personal story and mechanics dreams that I almost feel a little empty....nah, just kidding. You know me! I've still got a bunch of ideas, even now. Maybe someday in the future I'll run that HGW short term game...?
For now, I think I'm going to take a bit of a break from modding and focus on personal projects, but I know I probably won't be able to stay away from short term games for long.
I guess I should wrap this up with...if you have an idea, just go for it. Sometimes, it might lead you to having a 6 round murdergame spanning two years! ....Well, I don't know if that's really a good thing, but it's something that made me happy, so.
See y'all around!

* I still can't believe it's only been two years. I keep thinking of Round 1 as 'last summer' when it's been way, way longer than that.
I should start this off by saying thank you to everyone. Thank you for playing in the game and making it what it is. Regardless of who you are or what rounds you played in, you helped make this game what it is. We really couldn't have done this without all of you. And thank you for sticking it out, even through the toughest moments. There were times where I questioned if SCP would be able to continue at all, but thankfully everyone stuck it out and we were able to tell a complete story.
I do still look back on past mistakes and go "gah, we could have done this so much better", but that's probably the wrong way to look at it. In the future when I mod (after a long, long break to just be a player for a while), I'll remember everything I learned in these six rounds. It's not just the mistakes I'll carry with me though, but the high points too. The moments of "wow, they came up with an amazing idea, let's use it!", the points where we got harsh-but-needed crit, everything.
SCP started as a one-shot idea Eski and I had about summer camps and conspiracies and this fun new 'murdergame' thing we were both pretty new to at the time. And over time, it grew into something huge and expansive. It's been so much fun, and I've met so many friends here too. So thank you, for these memories.
Even though SCP is ending here, I will still be around in RP. So I hope we can stay in contact, even without a game to bring us together every week. And in the future, when I do mod again, I hope to see all of you there.

* Hello everyone! I have only been part of the mod team for the last two rounds, but I have been with everyone since the first round, which is mind boggling to think about.
It's been an amazing two years and we have had a lot of ups and downs, but I'm glad for everyone who has ever been a part of these games. Everyone has been amazing creatively and will always look at the options presented and go "what if we write our own ending."
I'm incredibly thankful for being able to help out with the games I adore and I hope everyone has had fun! I plan on taking everything I learned from this experience and what I've learned from all of you into the future when I mod again.
I'm going to miss everyone and I hope we can all play together soon. Thank you!
