But I'm not privy. Still, is it just one great game where you write the play by saying "you next" and then the next person comes up with the next play.

Remember when you were in the sixth grade, and you and your friends decided it would be fun to start a story and pass it around and have everybody write a chapter and see what happened?
It's like that. For some people, it's a very serious endeavor. For others, it's all just for fun. Unless you know the authors involved, it can be hard to sort out which is which.
And, of course, each person can only control their own storyline, not knowing where the next guy's going to take it.
For people that have been here three years, there have been very close friendships forged. Some of them are nervous about the state of the community and its future. So, they decided to write the next chapter themselves. All we can do is watch and see where it goes from there, or the more motivated among us can help shape the storyline.
