Book Three began with aplomb,
then stopped as if hit by a bomb.
Our emotions were spent,
We proceded to vent
At VentryOutpost DOT com

aplomb:
great self-confidence; self-assuredness;
imperturbable self-possession, poise, or assurance;
great coolness and composure under strain

So they say that our game is ephemeral
Cause its updates now skew towards biannual
But a part of me needs
The RSS feeds
While another part has held its funeral.

Never was much good at limericks,
Better with novel-length gimmicks
But with 8 months gone by
And no more noise than a fly
I wonder "will there be more than these mimics?"

Chillin' in IRC chatter
My good mood these mem'ries to shatter
One hears Melissa's goodbye
All I can hear is Jen's final cry
And I think "do these words even matter?"

An indescribable scream I release
My torment I hope I can cease
And then conflict comes in
Bringing creativity, its kin
And I pray "can this writing give peace?"

The anticipated climax was coming
We could hear the dark cultists humming
Then before the eclipse
The game hit a glitch
And-

"An ARG 'bout Cthuhu, oh boy!"
As an ARG n00b I cried out in joy.
But curse this hiatus
That's making me wait-us,
For cultists this world to destroy.

They built us the ultimate game.
We drooled because of their fame.
A lot of us bitched.
The project, they pitched.
Leaving us all feeling lame.

Cthulu - of course my ears perked
Though a lot of players were irked
They gave it a go
The going was slow.
Now I'm glad I just lurked.

Shh! We're napping, don't disrupt us.
Your promises will only corrupt us.
The experiment's a dud.
Remember the MUD?
A case of game interruptus.

I really don't want to sound bitter
or come to be known as a quitter,
but if everyone's dead
and forum-readers have fled,
then I'll just be a chatroom-sitter.
