I saw the screenshot. The Ural still had the blood bags in it, like we left them. It's been three years since we stopped and the server's still there somewhere. I keep thinking about the quiet year, when it was just six of us. The domain renewed again last month. That's the only thing that never ...

Snowing here too. Same grey sky that used to mean nobody was moving on the coast. I was there for the quiet year, all six of us, and the strange thing is I don't remember us ever saying it out loud. The routine held longer than it should have, and then it just didn't need to be said anymore. I heard ...

Ended up back here again tonight. Bookmark was still in the same folder. The Discord is quiet in a way that isn't the same as this place being quiet. I keep thinking about 2021, the six of us, and how nobody ever said anything about it being six. We just kept the same times going. It's cold tonight ...

Doc_Mallory, I opened that thread too and closed it without posting. There wasn't anything left to add that we didn't all say that night. I think about the quiet year more than I think about the years when the server was full. Six of us, pretending the number wasn't what it was. That was the most ...

It’s past midnight and I still type the old address out instead of using a bookmark. The server has been down since last summer and I know nobody is going to reply here, but I looked anyway. I keep thinking about the camp being opened with only the ammo gone. I wasn’t there for that, I only heard ...

rye_, I wasn't here yet when that happened. I only ever got it secondhand, told in the same words every time, and the wind part was always the part that stuck. The quiet year had its own kind of silence under that tower, and I didn't think of rabbit then, but I do now. We never actually planned the ...

I read this earlier and didn't have anything to say until now. The quiet year meant something to me because we kept showing up without deciding to. I used the tower as a meeting point for a while, and the light being off made it easier to talk about nothing. Nobody ever said it was a small group. We ...

I saw your post, Chad. I was one of the ones still logging in during the quiet year, so the silence now hits different. Most weeks it was the same six people and noobdy mentioned how few that was, we just kept playing. I wasn't around for the fifty nights — I only know it from the screenshots and ...

It was the quiet year that got me. Six of us still logging in most weeks and nobody saying how few that was. The routine held longer than the population did. I wasn't there for the blood bag that ran out, heard about it after, but that story always stayed with me. Chad, thanks for digging up the ...

Reading this thread I keep coming back to the quiet. There was a stretch where we didn't mention how few of us still logged in and it went on for weeks. That was the quiet year and nobody named it while it was happening. I have a Fraps file from one of those nights and I still haven't opened it. The ...
