the concept was different worlds are in battle at once. like when the story opened war was on three planets, and the people could be on any of them. if we were to keep it upyet only have three people they could be on different planets and no one might ever meet. also we were supposed to be able to have two sides, good guys or bad guys, and with only three people if someone were to be on a different side they would never team up with the other guys, except for infrequent battles.
i think the reason why it failed was lack of enough people when we had 8 people sign up.
