This is not an email that either of us wanted to write, but unfortunately we feel it is necessary.
First of all, we owe you all an apology for our lack of activity. We realize that, as mods, it is our job to model the activity we ask of you, our players, and we recognize that we have not lived up to that over the past month. We attribute this to a combination of personal obligations and a lack of motivation stemming from and contributing to the slowness (and, in many cases, absence) of the game as a whole—and we’re guessing this is also true for a lot of you. Just as we are sure it has been difficult for you all to find the impulse to post new entries when you see few (or no) comments on others, it has been difficult for us to put in the effort that game-wide events require when we do not have people responding to or using them. We recognize that it is a self-perpetuating cycle, and it is one that requires a lot of energy to break once full entrenched in it, as we are.
For these reasons, we have determined that Feigning is not working for you or for us—and sadly, we both have major RL events coming up very quickly that mean we cannot devote the time that giving the game a jolt of energy and activity would require and deserve.
This means that we are stepping down as mods of Feigning. If any of you feel ambitious and passionate, we would be happy to turn over the game and the resources we have created to your care and control, but otherwise the game will close.
We wish you all the very best and hope to see you around the RP world in the future.
Alison & Lauren
