MOD ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey there, everyone. Mippins here.

I'm deeply sad to announce that due to some personal things that have come up rather suddenly, I'm not in a position where I can continue to mod for you all, and thus In the Night will have to close. I hate that it's come to this, but I don't see another way forward and I think it's best to make this call now than to struggle along and see the game die slowly.

As for the logistics, we'll open the game comms so that anyone who wishes may continue to use the game as a sandbox. The game pages will be left as they are, and nothing will be deleted. You're all welcome to do what's best for yourselves in deciding what happens to characters and such from here on out.

I want to thank all of you for being part of this game and for building up such a strong sense of community within the playerbase. You're all hands down the best playerbase I've ever encountered, and I'm sorry to let you down like this. I'm not feeling especially eloquent right now, but I hope you all know that I don't make this decision lightly. I love this game, I've loved telling this story with you all, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to mod for you all for as long as I have.

It's truly been a pleasure flying with you, players. Please take care of yourselves and stay healthy, and I hope that I'll have the pleasure of playing with you again sometime.

NOOO this is so sad :( You did a great job making the world interesting and dynamic ! We will all miss it terribly

Please take care of yourself mips!

This is definitely sad to hear but you gotta do what you gotta and take care of yourself.

I was only here a couple months but they were a ton of fun. Thanks for the good times.

Aw Mippins! This is so sad, but I really applaud you for doing the right thing, and also for cultivating this incredible group and story and everything. Honestly, this is the game I've felt the most at home at since the LJ days and I am so, so sad to see it end but I totally respect you for doing what you had to do. Much love to you and the current and previous mods for everything you've done to make this game.

Oh nooooo. Thanks so much for what you and all the other mods did. This game has been a blast and we're all going to miss it.

Take care of yourself! And be proud of what you did here, because this game fucking rocked.

i only just joined but i could really see the care and love you and the other mods put into this game :( the playerbase is one of the most welcoming ones i've experienced in a while and while this is unfortunate, i completely understand and i hope things smooth over for you in the future! thanks for everything

I hope things work out okay for you. Take care of yourself, and thanks for letting all of us play in your world while you could.

It's been years since I found a game this entertaining, hilariously mean, chill, involved, and just plain fun. Thank you so much for all the work you put into it up until now (you and all the other mods!), and I hope you stay safe. Good luck with everything you're going through.

You did a wonderful job modding here and while I wasn't here for very long I can say this was the best-run game I have ever been in. Thank you for your time and effort. It was a pleasure.

Thank you for cultivating such a pleasant environment.

I hope everything goes well.

This is very sad, but I know you thought a lot about this and if I'm upset I know you have to be as well. I really enjoyed playing in this game of yours, every part of it!

I hope to play with you and many people here again as well.

In The Night was a game that hit a sweet spot for me and it’s incredibly sad to see it end whether it was now or years in the future. I had a lot of fun exploring the setting and getting to meet all of these NPCs, and I have to say that ITN was a top quality game for me.

Take care Mippins, and thank you for everything!

it has truly been a sheer delight being in this game, i'm so glad you guys were my welcome back into the dwrp world. i've had so much fun in the last four months!! please know that i'm absolutely stunned, blessed, and honored by the amount of work and passion you guys poured into this game and i wish you nothing but the absolute best. i'm so thankful, please take care!

To everyone who took the time and effort to mod - Mippins and Leu and Danielle and Kit - thank you so, so much for creating one of the best games I've been in in a long time. This is a wonderful game that tried new things with its mechanics and plot and execution, never afraid to keep fiddling with it and correcting it so everyone (both mods and players) had a good time. You tried something new, bucking against trends and norms that we're used to in DWRP, and I loved every step of it. It wasn't easy, not by a bit, but the willingness that everyone exhibited to make it work is inspiring and touching.

Though my heart hurts that this amazing game has to close, the fact this game existed - and I was lucky enough to experience it with you all from day one, when I learned about it from Eon - is amazing and something I'm forever grateful for.

My time here in In The Night is one of my happiest and best experiences in a game as a player. The effort put into the plot and the effort in exploring the plot is amazing and I appreciated the way you guys, as mods, let us run wild at times with what we did. Your willingness to engage with the players' actions and ideas, making their actions feel significant in their own way, is something I'm forever grateful for. Even during the rockier months and moments we had, you did your best to make sure we had a good time and made us feel like we were contributing in our own way. It really did feel like we were helping shape the game, change events, and do things outside the box.

To the mods:

Thank you for everything. You did an amazing job of making sure to keep it fair and allowing us a crack at cool stuff. I really did feel like Daylight got to do great things here - from meeting Dr. Solis to advancing his project on the spirits' language - without doing too much that the others didn't have a chance to do things. It was such a delight to push Daylight's limits and boundaries but, at the same time, I never felt like I was being pressured into anything nor felt uncomfortable on my (player) side. it felt like a natural push-and-pull between us, whenever it was mod and player or game and character, and I loved it to bits.

To the playerbase:

Thank you for giving my character a chance! Daylight's time here in the game was one of utter delight and something I will hold dearly in my heart. You guys are, of course, a big reason of why I love the game to bits. Whenever I join a game, I always feel nervous during the first few weeks of being in it, unsure of how my original characters will be taken by other players. The response he had here in the game and with you guys was wonderful and something that means a lot to me. I felt welcomed, I felt included, and I felt like everyone was having fun with each other too.

I want to take the chance to give a shout out to Daylight's close CR: Bucky and Rosinante. Jo and Rosalind. Maes and Jason. Minimus Ambus and Duster. Riku and Vanitas (the disrespect boy!!). Sora and Dr. Ingram. Dr. Solis and Postmaster General too!! You were all such joys to thread against, to have Daylight interact with because, in your characters' own way, they really did have an influence in Daylight's character development in the game. They had a hand in changing him in subtle but significant ways and, looking back, I know he wouldn't be the character he currently is if not for you guys reaching out to me and giving Day a chance. I'd love to keep you all on my timeline to keep chatting if that's something you're okay with. I hope to be in a game with you guys again in the near future but, if that won't be happening anytime soon, please know that your characters meant the world to mine.

Agian - I want to thank you all for everything about this game. It was a wonderful and wild experience that I will never forget and look back on with great fondness. I wish you all to have the best roleplay karma when it comes to finding new games or PSLs and actual karma for real-life situations that we're all dealing with at the moment. Please stay safe and healthy and take care. It's an honour to call you all gamemates for In the Night.

You have so not let us down, Mippins. Not at all. ♥

This has been the best game I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. When I left game rp over a year and a half ago, I thought I was very much done, but ITN has been such a great creative experience for me that I do not regret jumping back into the game space at all. ITN is so blessed to have such a friendly, creative and welcoming playerbase and to have been run by moderators who were welcoming, encouraging and were interested in listening and adapting.

This has been a very fun and fulfilling experience, and ITN has been such a unique game. I've really enjoyed being a part of it and feeling like my character had a way to impact the plot, even if it was just taking a bloody rock from one NPC to the other.

It has been such a pleasure to play in this world, to get to play Kol again after years of not writing him, and to meet new people and experience different dynamics and game mechanics. Thanks for being a very positive game experience for me and thank you Mippins for cultivating a very positive game experience.

One more shirtless icon for old time's sake. ♥

Mipps, thank you for everything. This game concept was fascinating, it's what drew me in and a huge part of what kept me here. I really hope that things smooth out for you elsewhere. This game was clearly a labor of love and we could all feel that. If I could ask for anything...... it would be to know what the rest of the story of Beacon is!! I will be curious the rest of my life!! Release the Director's Cut of ITN! But really thanks for all your hard work. And the other mods too, danielle and kit and leu, even though some of you guys have already stepped down. Thanks for everything.

Everyone else, thanks for putting up with Vanitas' crap for a year!!! I know he isn't an easy character to play off and I really appreciated you all prepared to play ball with me and let me develop him as a character. I had a lot of complex interactions here that couldn't have been had without you lot.

♡♡♡

Oh no Mippins, I'm so sorry to hear this. 💕 My heart goes out to you; I hope you're going to be okay. I didn't get to play in the game as long as I would have liked, with Clarke or another player, but I loved the time I did play here and I wish you all the best!

I hope I can meet up with you again in another game setting; you worked so hard on this and made this a really creative, fun experience. Thank you!! 💕

You haven't let us down, not even a little bit. You've modded the game, you made this amazing place that we could play in and I, for one, feel so very lucky for having been a part of this. Am I sad the game is closing? Oh hell yeah, this has been so great that of course I'm sad. But real life comes first for you too, Mippins. Take care of yourself and I hope things work out.

It feels like such a shallow thing to say, really. But I mean it, you've been nothing but amazing to me through the whole game and I am so grateful for how well you've modded this game and how chill you've been.

And my fellow players? Man, I am going to miss you. All of you. Small or long stories between our characters, you've all been amazing. Putting up with Quentin being, well, Quentin.

this is heart breaking, because I loved the game so much. but please don't feel like you let anyone down -- real life comes first and I hope things calm down soon. I will miss this game so much but you and your family and your health and your happiness come first! thank you for putting together such a welcoming, warm environment and a layered, complex world. 💕

to all the other mods -- thank you for the part you played in this amazing game! I so enjoyed this experience and it was a terrifying first step back into roleplay after a long time away. you are such a huge part of this game and I'm so grateful for your effort and your time.

To the players -- this is what I'll miss the most. We were such a warm, welcoming group... and I felt great about the c r I have built here. I have never felt alone or unwanted in this game and we made such a good unit and I'm going to miss writing with all of you most of all. You helped my characters slowly move on their journey and you accepted a character that I was scared nobody would care about. I'm so grateful for that.
