All right, mates. I tried to keep it alive despite the odds, but now that we've lost even [i]more[/i] people to inactivity and apathy, I suppose it's time to acknowledge this RP's death. We've received no new apps in months, and of the apps we [i]did[/i] receive, we had a pathetic 36% player retention rate; these numbers are unsustainable, so I'm calling it quits and leaving [i]CnSn[/i] to the wolves. We kept it on life support for a while but it's time to finally put the thing to rest.

I take most of the blame for the RP's failure. My OP in the OOC could have been longer. I could have been warier of incoming players, performing background checks on their posting histories to see whether they had any histories of abandoning RPs. I could have made the IC posts immediately engaging and exciting instead of trying to ease us into slow, methodical character development. I could have done a better job of advertising the game.

[@Xandrya][@Fyre Unholy][@SilverFallen][@TheMadAsshatter] The inactive/deserter players obviously ought to be ashamed, because I know I'm not the only one they've fucked and will continue to fuck on this site, but you four are blameless; you stuck it out to the end, even when morale was low, even when others were leaving in droves. For that you've earned my respect. If I GM again in the future, I will accept any of you into the RP with open arms.

See you, space cowboys, and thank you for the fun times, brief as they were. [color=fecaaf]✌[/color]
