Welp. This is awkward.
Long story short: I'm tired. Ran out of inspiration. I've been GMing for YaK for nearly a year now, with a good three quarters of that as the main GM. I just can't find the motivation to invent new idiocies on every damn six I roll, and my quality of writing has been on a downward slope since the end of YaK 3. So, I resign from my position as a GM officially.
The YaK concept is free to be used by anybody. That's how it started. There isn't a monopoly on GMing. Got an idea? Go for it, and if it looks fun, I might join as a player. If you want to reuse any of the worlds I have previously built or any of the maps I have previously made, go ahead - but ask Iituem if you want to make one in Iitu, since I wasn't too involved in that one. If you want to keep using this thread and be the GM of the current YaK 4, introduce yourself here and see if the players will have you, and I will gladly cooperate in keeping the first posts up to date as you command.
The time I spent GMing for YaK 3 was awesome, and the vast majority of you guys are awesome. I don't regret any of the effort I involved into this, and I hope neither do you guys.
The channel #yak4 will stay up on IRC for all friends, old and new, to visit and discuss in. YaK wasn't the only game popular amongst the players here - HOTRS, Pantheon, Godhood are all frequently discussed (and many other games long gone were, too), and perhaps eventually we'll make a new game to rally the community.
In any case, this is the end of the chapter. It was a fun ride, but it's time for me to move on.
