It was like "oh crap, we've been at this for four months now and they still have a ways to go..."
Given, I wish I discovered the formula for Stalkers RPG way back when during earlier times (many ideas of mine crashed and died prior to it). I would have liked to get more successful millage out of it and start it back in like 2006 rather than 2016 (instead of writing a ton of meh fan fiction that I'd probably never revisit). There were a lot of members of the PE2K community that came and left that never experienced it and I think they would have liked it.
But yeah, events and ideas like these... impossible to run on Discord. With forums essentially dead, I'd have to get an idea like that programmed into an actual fan game with menu interfaces and graphics and all that stuff (and I'm not a programmer). That's a HUGE undertaking. And the reward for being successful and famous with something like that is you get copyright strikes from Nintendo.
It was good fun while it lasted, though. It at least beats the reality that it was possible I could have never tried this idea and it wouldn't have happened at all. So I'm glad it had a good few solid years to shine and people enjoyed it for the most part.
