Gazing down upon the raging mess of a house that had sprung up next door, Queen Gertelina shook her head. She lifted her hand, and from the air coalesced a translucent dome, encasing the house and its grounds. "Enough! Now this house may never be changed again," she proclaimed. "Though those who wish to....may enter and leave as they please."
OOC: Hey guys! You may have noticed that this game has been on hold for a few months. Truth is, I wasn't expecting the level of success it got. Right before it ground to a halt, I was spending ~1h updating the floor plan on some days, and it wasn't always possible for me to update things fast enough to keep the game moving daily.
Then the stock photo crediting rules were clarified, and I realised that with all the time it would take to maintain the credits list and update the map, I could no longer afford to allocate that much of my daily schedule to it. Not to mention, I hadn't been maintaining a list of images I was already using; hunting every single one down would take more time than I had.
I will be leaving this thread up for posterity's sake. If the mods have a problem with the uncredited stock images, I will take the time to hunt down every single source and make a credits list. In the meantime, I'm gonna leave this thread open just in case anyone wants to say anything about this game.
As of 17 June, this game is closed. To everyone who helped create this monstrosity lovely living space, thank you. It was really great seeing people talk about it and make art of the goings-on inside, and I hope you had as much fun as I did.
P.S. anyone who wishes to may create a new version of this game, perhaps with the rules tweaked to make the workload of keeping it updated more manageable. You don't have to ask me for permission, but if you'd like to talk about it anyway, just hit me up.
