Of course, when Lincoln did this, he also harbored a somewhat sinister thought: "I've been disgusted, so you all should feel a bit of that disgust too."
The poor players only knew that something big was coming.
But they had no idea that this "big thing" might turn out to include a heap of nonsense...
The members of the [Cradle Plan] Project team knew, but they wouldn't say a thing.
Not only would they keep mum, they even let out evil chuckles in their private group chat, ready to enjoy the show.
The players were clueless, still cheering enthusiastically over the announcements and promotional materials.
There wasn't much to say about the announcement, it was the standard format—
A friendly greeting first, an introduction to the progress of the [Cradle Plan] over the past month, some praise for the developers' hard work, and a thank-you to the players for their support.
