I don't know what's happening but this game is dying, you, mods, are letting it die little by little. The war/revolution curse whatever it was, was neat, until it got too long, and now that it ended (in the most boring way) it's like all stopped.
People are dropping, going on hiatuses, and you don't do anything, you still take weeks to accept applications, which only shows the interest you have in your own game.
This used to be fun, and now I only see people talking about leaving and finding another RP where they feel they can play for real.
