The mod is saving itself. It's undergoing a purification of sorts. Old, bitter, burnt out players are leaving. Disco is shrinking. And that's natural. It's sailing into a new decade after all. A new decade of fun. Let them all leave, let them carry old grudges and paradigms away!
This will give rise to a new, better Disco. A slimmer, firmer version of tightly knit communal interactions.
