Dear friends,My sincere apologies, but Epic Week will be postponed until May 8 - May 14.
I experienced a death in the family last month, and I haven't been working at full capacity since. I am doing okay, but I find myself needing more quiet time to reflect no matter what my schedule says I ought to be doing. Following a major computer failure over the weekend that soaked up much of my catch-up time, I've had to make the difficult decision to announce this delay.
This year, we've got some fantastic new additions to the gameplay and the most complex plot yet, and I think it's important that we do them justice. Every Epic Week, we experiment with new ideas and try even more ambitious things. We never quite know how it's going to work out until we put it into your hands, but the Epic Week games are always about striving to deliver edge-of-your-seat moments and community-teamwork-inspiring gameplay.
I don't want to subject you to a haphazard event. I know many of you pour your hearts into participating all week long, just as I pour my heart into preparing the event in the months leading up to it. I want Epic wek to be challenging, fun, fulfilling, and worthy of its Epic name.
Bear with me! Just a few more weeks and we'll have Epic Week ignition.

Personal matters are naturally of utmost importance, especially considering what you're going through right now. You have our sincerest condolences, Kim.
I'm not the fastest to reply right now. Though I am hoping and praying for you and your family to get through this. Just take it slow, yeah?

Veeeeery interesting.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Proxima, this newspost might give you a little bit of insight!
But, as a quick rundown, Epic Week is a week to draw the site together in celebrating the RPR's birthday. In the past, this's taken the form of contests, comics, videos, puzzles, riddles, and some pretty fierce battles, among other things. It is usually Pretty Darned Epic.

My condolences on your loss, Kim.
For those of us who are new to the site, what does 'Epic Week' entail? Is there a quick FAQ anywhere I can brush up on?

Im sorry for your loss. I do look forward to epic week, even though Im not 100% sure what it is, it sounds great.
Be strong!! Take all the time you need! Because we can always wait and keep ourselves busy.
Honestly I am glad it is postponed because we have been moving and then I got super sick from eating something I am allergic to and had a fever for 2 days. There would have been no way I would get to participate xD So at least it works out for me haha.
I am super sorry to hear about your loss. You never really get over it but the pain isn't as bad after a while. While packing I found a painting I had done for my dear friend who passed away 3 years ago now. That really put a damper on my packing jam haha. Take all the time you need to recover and we will wait for epic week so it can be just as epic as you would like it to be.

Heeey, take care of yourself first. Loss and grieving hits everyone differently, but there's usually no quick bouncing back from it.
Things will be suitably Epic when you're ready for it.

You guys are angels. Thank you SO much for your support.
You have my condolences, Kim. Whether this family member was close to you or a distant relative, that's never easy to cope with. I highly doubt anyone will blame you for postponing epic week for that.
Take care of yourself! Epic week will always be epic, regardless of when it happens

I know exactly how you feel...I lost Nearly everything from my Uncle,My Aunt,and great aunt. Someone stole all my personal instruments recently and It's hard I understand if it doesn't happen I understand. Get better Ms.Kim
Extending good thoughts and positive vibes your way, Kim.
Don't worry about Epic Week being postponed! ; u ; You've devoted so much love and care to the site already. Having a break, especially for something like that, is more than understandable. u 3 u
Wishing you the best. ♥

I hope all is well with you and your family, and wish you all my best!
As I read the comments thus far, it seems that most, if not all, of us are in agreement that you should take care of yourself first, and dont mind the delay!
Take all the time you need!

Sorry for your loss, you take care of you first and foremost.
Do what you need. We can wait a bit. Thank you for continuing to the fantastic person you are.
Take care of yourself! That's the most important; everything else will fall into place.
I've never been to an Epic Week before so I'm sure I'll be blown away regardless of when it is.
