Great SSU Depression

The Great SSU Depression was the longest game activity depression in this DOM's history, lasting from 12/30/2023 to 3/17/2024.
=== Beginning ===
The last successful SSU was held by Lendoo on 12/29/2023, and was moderately successful. However, from that day forward, no more SSUs were held for three months. There is no real explanation for why the depression happened, except for the incompetency of certain CMs during this period, such as Nort and Jabrox, to have any successful SSUs hosted.
=== Early Depression Period ===
There was no real initial response to stop the depression, and it's not like it was the first time World DOM's game ever died. However, after about a month, things started to get concerning, after an SSU on 1/28/2024 failed to last for more than a few minutes. The problem became even worse, as incumbent CM Nort did not allow his staff to host. Nort was eventually recalled, but due to instability in the staff team which was a result of Glitch resigning following a Nort abuse crisis, Nort's successor as CM WisdomKan (aka Tenpenny, against his will) was unable to revive the game, and the depression continues.
=== Late Depression Period ===
After Jabrox ended up beating Arl in the CM special election to replace WisdomKan, who had been recalled for various reasons, such as abuse, there was some hope that he would revive a game, and an SSU was actually hosted by Spike on 3/03/2024. However, due to an anti-Jabrox boycott by the majority of active SSU players, the SSU failed. The failure of Jabrox to revive the game was mainly why he lost the following election, although his unpopular overhaul of the staff team and other shunned decrees definitely contributed to his downfall.
=== End of the Depression ===
Arl ended up beating Jabrox in the next normally-scheduled CM election, and on 3/17/2024, one day after he was elected, the first successful SSU in over 3 months was held, lasting for 2 hours and having 9 unique players. This brought an end to the depression, as a successful SSU was finally held.
