1. DW will not disband period. Closest to that would be leaving the server.
2. The original idea was to leave enough mystery to prod the others here to ask questions, send diplomats over and discuss who we are. This would have allowed both sides to learn about each other. We did not realize that the community wanted all the information handed to them (a form of metagaming if you ask me).
The thought process of that is summed up like this. Someone moves from one state to another or even one country to another. Once he arrives at his new home based on the community here he should place a ad in the local paper stating everything about himself all the way down to his grandmothers blood type. This simply is not done. Someone moves to a new location the FIRST thing that is done is reconnaissance and passive information gathering on the surroundings. It comes from that self preservation instinct. We have said on many occasions, if you want to know anything about us, RP it and ask.
We dont hold back on information because we want to be a bunch of pricks, we did it because our leaders wanted it that way, they wanted our RP to be a bit of a mystery.
Something that Discovery lacks. That is why there was no post detailing everything. We were still learning what was here as far as people, ships, equipment and the politics.. Mystery promotes a sense of adventure as it means getting your hands dirty and taking a risk. If you unwilling to take risks in life, what is the point, because your dead already.
The decision is still being discussed; I just wanted to post something so the community does not think we are ignoring them. Where as most of the groups here may all be within a couple of time zones of each other, ours unfortunately spans the entire planet with almost every single time zone covered.
