We now have a few too many game threads running in MPSIMS, so we’re closing some of the longer ones without an appreciable end in sight. Cheer up, though! A new, [similar thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=418947) has opened up (and one, I admit, that sounds a bit more creative and challenging). ETA: Also, it wasn’t the presence of the new thread that prompted this thread’s closing. That was [going to happen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=231482), anyway; it was just good timing.
