I've been involved with BDI for nearly two decades. Spending much of my early time in and out of the game, playing with a myriad of excellent RPers lost to the sands of times, I was recruited to the operator team in 2010. For the first year and a half, I wasn't allowed to do too much. Eventually, attrition began to claim both the player base and the op team, and with no one really interested in keeping the game running, the game went fallow for nearly two years. In 2012 when there was only approximately half a dozen players left sitting in the game channels, it was brought to my attention that the original BDI website domain was in danger of expiring. I ended up reaching out to the gentleman who owned the channel (as defined by IRC ChanServ at the time) and the website domain, eventually being given control over the IRC and website aspects of the game. You could call it a hostile takeover, but at that point, I was one of three operators still actively in the game channels, and interested in doing something.
Over the next 18 months, I initiated a 6 point plan to revive the game, beginning with the conversion of the setting material into the wiki you are currently reading. In that time, we saw a massive revival. Over the next several years, with a myriad of staff members and players, we have not only updated and reworked some of the lore, but have continued expanding it. In summer of 2019, after a noticeable decline in new user foot traffic coming to the game, we decided to move the game from IRC, which had been its home for nearly 25 years, to the Discord server we are currently using. We maintained a bridge bot between IRC and wiki for the first six months or so, before eventually closing the IRC channels with redirects to the Discord server. Unfortunately, not long after the covid-19 pandemic started, my mother's health began to decline, and I was forced to close the game in August 2020 to focus on taking care of her during her time on hospice. The game would remained closed until the following year, when Shayde and I decided we wanted to RP, so we basically relaunched the game primarily for ourselves. Luckily, we managed to start recruiting people pretty quickly, and with a subsequent of old players also returning, the game is now in a pretty good shape with nearly 20 active players.
As for my non-BDI related history, I'm a disabled, bisexual, ancient lady who now lives in Central Washington state with my boyfriend of 14+ years, Chris, our three cats Piper, Morty and Sam, and my nearly as ancient as I am African grey parrot, Murphy, who has been immortalized as one of the BDI bots for several years now. I've been RPing for over 20 years at the time of this writing, and writing for even longer. My time on hiatus following my mother's passing was rather fruitful, and in the time that the game was on hiatus, I wrote the first draft to a novel that's been stuck in my head for years now.
