You're absolutely correct! We failed to deliver when we intended on this one, and we're really sorry for that.
Full disclosure: prior to my hiatus, there was a misunderstanding about the NPC post - it was written in a way that meant my absence would not interfere with the responses, because it was going to be posted fairly soon afterwards and I wasn't going to be available for it. I thought it was communicated that Tyr would be playing a role, but some wires got crossed and that didn't end up happening. Cue confused discussion amongst the team after I got back, which, due to our work schedules, took some time to sort out (we had to figure out the problem before we could find the solution).
Then AC happened and discussion about that over the last week derailed the pending questions we'd asked each other about the event (plurk hiding replies probably didn't help) and we've only just cleared up how confused we'd gotten ourselves.
This whole mix-up has taught us a couple of very useful lessons: just like we tell our players, if a question or suggestion doesn't get a response when we need it, ask again. And it's certainly taught me to ensure that everyone is on the same page as i am before a vacation. That's on me, and I really am sorry. Both the NPC and the most recent mod post should have been posted earlier.
We will be getting everything set up and finalized for the next arc of the plot within the next day or so, that is a promise. All we can really do is learn from this and carry on. Again, apologize to you and the entire game; the delay was unintentional but definitely avoidable.
