The 3rd RP was the RP that became the 3rd Classic RP, which began 6 months before the attack on Sigma Octanus. It was designed to increase originality, and it succeeded, coming to a screeching halt as everyone became dependant on Dav and Dav announced his departure. When Dav decided to return to the Classic RP it returned to activity... albeit at an astronomically slow pace and with only a few RPers. In April, 2009, a group of RPers (Dallas Mathews, Dav Flamerock, Whizzles, and Cheez) decided to return to the roleplay, bringing it back. Here are the events of the 3rd Classic RP as best as can be told.
