Indeed - I hope Drasnia returns! They are a prolific issue author, and long-time NS player.

As for the silence on the boards, I think there's a mix of post-Nday relaxing, and our government is kind of waiting to see what occurs with our election cycle... which should have happened weeks ago now. We're still working on stuff hard behind the scenes, but it's rough to commit to anything upcoming when we aren't sure what our schedule is.

That said, Z-Day is coming up soon...

I mean, I like now being in first place in the region for recreational pineapple use, but I don't like why I'm first in the region. Hopefully Drasnia returns.

Regarding Z-Day, I personally hope that we do have it. I get the whole "insensitive to RL issues" thing, but the game was here first, and it's always very clearly and explicitly been a bit of Halloween-themed fun; tied to the holiday and not having a bearing on anything once it ends. And who knows, maybe this would encourage different strategies this time around. It would be an unnecessary cancellation to not have an event at all, also. So many things have not happened in the last eight months; why not at least do this normal thing? If anything, it means more now, in a way.

I guess I'm not really sold on being "sensitive" or "not sensitive" with things like this. It would be like saying that there should be no war video games because real people are dying in real wars, or that the buzzing sound in Operation is insensitive to everyone who dies in actual surgery.

And one doesn't have to participate in Z-Day. You could just sit it out, not log in for three days out of protest or for emotional reasons, etc.
