Hello, everyone! Thank you for bearing with us while we found the organs, er, code, to resuscitate the Voluntary Infection Program. That's what happens when dealing with older bodies of work (ten years' worth, in this case, of different viruses with different stage lengths), the code sometimes needs a bit of patching especially to make sure the problem is handled for good. Fortunately, Keith's update should help next year as well as give Survival its teeth back for 2022.
We understand that it's frustrating when problems crop up, and we really do appreciate you sticking with us through Subeta's various holidays. We'd rather things go off without a hitch, but any endeavor with (for instance) the complexity of the VIP program has a lot of moving parts and we wanted to make sure it was all ready rather than just pushing out an incomplete fix that might cause other issues later.
Now that the Voluntary Infection Program is fully back in fine infectious form, we're extending Survival to 11:59pm on March 9. Thank you all again, and have fun!

Thanks so much for getting things fixed so quickly & for the extension!
About how long does it take to unlock a strain? It's my first year so I have no idea, and it's not stated anywhere in these posts? I've been waiting I think 3 days so far and no change or notification. Maybe it takes longer bc it's the first time, but an eta or better breakdown of this VIP thing would be nice because this is a long wait.
