"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Something is Coming is being placed on indefinite hold." I think we all know what that really means. Allow me to translate for those who do not, to wit; "Due to the lack of media exposure and national coverage we are abondoning this project to work on something more people will notice."

From all of us that played the game just for the fun of playing the game allow me say "FUCK YOU". I travelled form Texas to Wisconsin to be a part of the "psychic" experience. I got excited enough to ditch work to drive to Dallas to take pics of me holding their flash drive in front of AA Arena. I drove to Oklahoma to deliver the compass in a James Bond style casino meet with BigBrother.

I did these thing willingly because I had fun doing so. I took part in an ARG that was going to change the way the games are played. I put up with the crap from SoTM because it seemed that they were building up to something magnificent. We had a great story in place, teams full of dedicated players doing everything for their zone and a race against time that had everyone involved on the edge of their seat.

But it was not to be. All I want is for them to finish what they started. I know they didn't get the media run they wanted, but they shouldn't fuck up us players who have devoted our time and resources to this adventure.

Thanks and Good Day.
Loki

wow.......boy was my victory celebration ever short-lived. If the cancellation was due to a personal emergency or unforseen incident in one of the SotM staff, I offer my condolences and sympathy.

However, if this was due to their lack of motivation to finish the project, I'm sure that would cause anyone who was considering one of their games in the future (myself included) to think twice.

This was ramping up to be a good one. I am sorry to see it fade away unheralded.

Greystone,

you make some good points and I can appreciate your position. I, however, have not had previous dealings with SoTM, so I can not vouch for whether or not they are "good guys" or "nice guys" or a "swell bunch of super great guys". All I have to judge from is my experience with Something is Coming. And unfortunately, SiC has been mismanaged abd poorly handled almost from the beginning.

Do I need to list the multitude of delays and missed deadlines throughout the project? Do I need to link to the SoTM posts which ranged from obtusive to downright insulting to the players? Do i need to point you towards the shameless pleading from SoTM for their players to spread the word to every media outlet we could get intouch with?

There were things about this game which I liked very much and for a brief time I had an absolute blast with it. However, my patience wore very thing after months of absolutely zero communication from SoTM. I appreciate the effort and creativity of the SiC project, however it was apparant that the game was designed for a mucher larger player base than was secured and suffered greatly for it.

If you are happy with the results of tSiC, then by all means continue your support for SoTM. I will be doing as you suggested and getting the hell out. I will not spend my time and money on a company that simply gives up on a tough project when things dont go their way, regardless of what great guys they are.

Good Luck to you,

Loki
