I'm bored and poking people because almost nothing has actually happened so far.What gave you the impression of it turning serious? The game doesn't have enough players to go that long again.
We had more content in the first hour or two in the last game than we have so far today.
I think it's because this game was marketed as not serious and then seemingly turned into a serious game. I certainly don't want to be alive on day 9 again.
