"Introducing PlayerMeta, a brand new community hosted by some of the best talent in Clockwork.

Our mission is to rejuvenate the serious roleplay community through the curation of high-quality servers, such as Alexpill, Begotten, Severance, and Site 86. The goal of these servers is to provide a roleplay experience unparalleled in scope, immersion, gameplay, and narrative. It is our hope to bring together a larger community with an appreciation for rich characters and storytelling, and to facilitate growth in these areas both within and outside of PlayerMeta.

The PlayerMeta forums is an area for discussion surrounding general topics, as well as a place of developers to showcase their scripts and releases. Additionally, subforums for each community server are present; these subforums are maintained by the various owners and developers responsible for the respective communities. These subforums will be often used for server discussions, organization, and trailheads for alternate reality games."

Well it looks like that is the biggest run we could make of the server that we could even fashion given the timing and the direction we started with from the beginning. This project started out from the hands of a couple of owners who really, at least in my opinion, had good intention but no business in actually running such an ambitious development. The first .DUST ended, and we really were squashed by it, so this reimagining was really something magical for us to do. I'm happy to say though that this run was even better than the last, and for all those that stuck it out from the start or joined us on midway through, us at the staff team are completely thankful for the support.

Personally I want to tell you all that I appreciate everyone that came on during the rougher days to help populate and keep the server up and alive. You guys are awesome.

The forums will be up for a little while longer, so feel free to linger if you want. Discussions are up on the subject of the ending, so if you want to post go ahead.

As for our future, I just want everyone to know that Outro, Cash, gabs, and I aren't completely finished with doing up servers. For now though, we are going to take a nice little break from this process to cool off, seeing as this was one of the biggest things we had to take on.

If you are ever looking for what we will be taking on in the future, look to this steam group for future announcements.

Peace out everyone, thanks for playing.

Outro here.

I've made a thread to discuss the ending;

http://dust.site.nfoservers.com/index.php?threads/ending-discussion.319/

I also wanted to tell you all how much I appreciated you playing on the server, especially paying attention to the world and story we've taken so long to create. As what will likely be my last server in the immediate future, I'm glad to have had the experience I had while running .DUST, and I can truly call the server a success.

Feel free to add me to keep in touch, or if you want to discuss the ending!

Outro, out.

The finale event will begin at 4:30 PM PST. This is the last event that will occur, and it will tie up all the remaining plot elements that have not yet been addressed in full. The event will begin as soon as we have enough players online.

Outro here. The conclusion of the war arc has just occured, due to the actions taking place in the server by both belligerent factions; surprisingly, the battle was decided today rather than the larger one planned tomorrow.

The Combine Civil Authority have eliminated Usurpa as an operative faction, leading to the killing of many leaders and ranking members as well as a large volume of them taken prisoner. This will affect the disposition of Usurpan and Civilian characters alike at the beginning of the finale arc.

The server will now be taking its final step towards the ending, culminating in the result of today's event and its influence on future events.

We hope that without the baggage of further faction warfare, players will be free to roleplay the final sentiments and predicted fates of their characters in accordance with others. The following week will be dedicated to the tying up of loose ends related to characters personally. As with the conclusion of any server, this will be the last opportunity you have to develop your characters prior to the finale.

The finale event will be taking place on the 30th of September at 4:30 PM PST.

Tomorrow will likely be the finale of the Combine Civil Authority as a faction. The actions taken by CCA-related characters will determine whether or not they will be involved in the ending.

If you have any questions, I'm free to answer them over steam. Any comments or concerns about your characters or status in the server should also be diverted to me.

I hope to see you on the other side. Outro, out.
