important!
Hello, Queen of Hearts. We recently celebrated our 2nd birthday and we've been working our way onto our third, however with time things need to change and it's come to our attention that there needs to be a major change in store for this game.
We have been working with the game for quite a while in order to bring fresh life into it that could attract more players, we've taken suggestions for ways to advertise and how we can improve. And still, there's been a lack of apps and quite a few drops, which will surely take its toll on such a small game. We asked for a new moderator who might help to implement some of the changes the players have been asking for, but received no offers.
We feel we are running out of options on keeping this game interesting and afloat. If you have any suggestions, you are welcome to come to us, but we have made a few options of our own.
Closing the game: We don't want to do this! But if the players would like some sort of closure to send their characters home to, we will provide.
Musebox: We can turn the game into a musebox. There will be no applications or activity check, but also no moderator-run events or plot. This basically means the characters will stay in the Gardens and you are free to play as you like.
New mods: If some amount of players would like to step up and help to revamp the game and the rest of the players would be alright with that, we are happy to help.
Any other suggestions are welcome. We feel we're at a standstill currently, but we would love to keep this game running! There's no poll on this currently as these options aren't set in stone and can be changed. We mostly just want to gauge player interest. If it seems there's a divide on certain options, we can find a way to work it out.

(Anonymous) 2013-01-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)my point is that for a discussion post, very little actual discussion was happening.
even something as simple as letting others know which points were considered, which were improbable or otherwise unlikely to be implemented would have been courteous.
this post says "We feel we are running out of options on keeping this game interesting and afloat", and I read it that the items that were already suggested for consideration were not good enough or would not make enough of an impact. which is it going to be?
I really do want the game to stay open, and have said my piece before. I apologize if I come off as blunt.t this is not the first game I have been in that has essentially petered out at the peak of my interest with it. I will grant you the perspective I have, of a player frustrated with the pattern that is coming to light of seeing a game teetering the line of closing and just languishing there.
