Supernatural Mayfield is now closed.

I’m not even going to deem this worthy of Ana’s reply because the word ‘family’ was used while sending such a hateful message.

Ana has been here, but every time dash is either dead or dying. Right now, she is focusing on closing down the final plot ~ which I myself don’t even feel like she should do, because of how the dash basically has been non moving. I feel like it doesn’t make any sense. Why have a final plot when everyone has already left? But this is merely my opinion, Ana’s commitment is what is keeping the final plot afloat right now.

You, as an anon… especially as an anon, have no right to judge her activity. First look at what you as an RPer here are doing to keep the dash alive. And if you disagree with how ‘inactive’ Ana is while she’s honestly speaking of how it makes her feel that people are leaving, well… the door has clearly been open. I’d say, don’t let it hit you on the way out.

I know how Ana feels about Mayfield. I know how she put her blood, sweat and tears into this RP. How she considers people here family. But after these last few weeks… It’s sad to see her hard work has been wasted with the hateful anons and the lack of dash movement. And I would honestly prefer Mayfield closing without a final plot just to be done with it, and to save Ana the frustration. This is my personal opinion as an Admin and an RPer, non judging towards any member of our group. Everyone’s entitled to do whatever they want, but it doesn’t make things any less hurtful.

In closing to the anon who sent this, again, you have no position to judge because of multiple reasons. No offence. And it also seemed like a personal attack, which is also not appreciated. Friendly word of advice, and I do mean this as friendly as possible, before you use the word ‘family’ in a message, please re-read what you’re sending before making a claim, because it doesn’t sound like you consider us admins as family either.

Sorry if I offended anyone in this reply.

I really do appreciate Shakira taking time of her day to reply to this, because my first urge to delete it. However, replying to it can’t hurt things any more, so why not? I can almost count on the fingers of one hand how many people have actually been around on the dash since the closing announcement. I mentioned then that the RP was NOT closing right away and that everyone had time to wrap up plots. But what happened? Most people just went and made new indie accounts for their characters and were never seen again. You cannot imagine how much that hurt me. How much it hurts to see people saying they love this place and this “family”, yet they were the first ones to jump off the sinking ship.

If anyone looked into my blogs, they saw I was inactive even before. And why, do you ask? Well, it really sucks to no end when the place you call home makes you want to run away. It was making me not want to even touch my computer or open tumblr. Yes, this place gave me many good things, things I’ll never forget. But it also gave me a lot of heartache and disappointment throughout the time it was open.

Of all my characters, there’s only one that has an unfinished plot that I can actually finish. All the others are either done with or…well, I just don’t want to bother finishing their plots. Despite everything, I took the time planning out my babies’ futures. And they don’t involve me posting on them, so I don’t. Shakira is right. I could just close the RP officially and forget about the final plot, because there’s only a few that are actually still around to see it. But I’m stubborn and I wasted too much time to let it go without a damn good fight. If those of you out there want to see the final plot, feel free to watch. I hope you like it! Those of you who don’t, feel free to shut the hell up and not fill up our inbox with pointless messages that won’t get you anywhere or change anything.

So instead of enjoying every last second they can get, they’re just leaving to do their own thing and completely abandoning the place they seemed to upset about closing. While I do get part of the reasoning, then I don’t really see the point in wrapping up plots before officially closing.

I guess nobody will find out who the killer is then…Too bad, it was a pretty damn good plot.

Shakira Edit:

While agreeing with Ana completely, I can’t help but notice that all these people, that according to you anon, are this pained by the closing of the RP, haven’t even taken the effort to inform us as admins of their leave. I haven't seen ONE timely notice of leaving ever since the post of closing went out.

I have seen accounts being changed to indie and such without giving us a proper notice of leave so we can at least send out an unfollow for those wanting to stick around for the final plot. Which in my opinion, is somewhat disrespectful. Yes, I understand that perhaps they do not want the unfollow due to the multitude deciding to go indie after the main closes down, but yet, it is a sign of respect, and understanding to at least give a heads up when no longer part of the RP.

I think we as admins deserve better, and it somewhat pains me to see it happening. Even more than that actual closing. It feels like the year and a half of Mayfield was insignificant, and that people just move on like it never existed. Of course, it might not be the case, but that’s how it seems to us when we see a plotting un-linked to Mayfield on dash, while the Mayfield storylines have ceased.

To me (Ana) personally, I believe it’s time to let go and move on. My baby has had a long, amazing run, but it’s time to face reality. For the past few weeks, I’ve been struggling with my lack of muse and inspiration and forcing myself to be around. As you can imagine, that hasn’t been any good for my mental health, but I kept on going for you guys. And as you’ve all seen, being attacked by a random anon on one of my characters for no good reason has completely crushed any will power for being here. And maybe that makes me selfish, maybe that makes me weak… But over the long run of this RP, I’ve kept my mouth shut and pushed my feelings aside more times than I can count, only for the wellbeing of this RP and its players, except my own. And that’s what being an admin is all about 90% of the time. But that doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve loved the time I had here, all the plots and all the people I’ve met, and I know all the other admins feel the same way.

I love this group, all of the admins do. We know you guys do as well. But we feel it’s time to move on and do something else. What I’m trying to say is: Mayfield is officially on its way to closing down. No, it will not be right away. We plan to finish one more plot before that. But this is already a warning. We completely understand if you decide to leave right now, we won’t blame you for doing so. The submit box has already been closed, so we won’t be accepting any more applications. It’s not fair to accept new people when the group won’t be around for much longer.

Once the RP is officially closed, you are more than welcome to keep your current characters and keep playing them independently, we don’t mind it one bit. But there will be no more main page, no more activity checks, no more nothing. If you wish to create your own project and take your OC’s with you, we won’t stop you. We just ask you to please not use any of the current canon characters. I have a new project that I’m currently working on that everyone is free to join once it’s up and running, though it might take a while. I know a few members have their own projects as well and I’m sure they’d be more than willing to share the links for you to join them and still keep in touch with them.

Hi there mister grey face, I’m going to address this as kindly as possible, seeing as this kind of came off as insulting both us and our cast members.First, we have quite a few people on hiatuses due to personal reasons, such as family, school, or weather conditions in their respective state. These are all things they cannot control. They have sent in requests for their hiatus.Second, sometimes time gets away from people, and they go a few days without activity. As long as they are back before the week-long limit, and they are taken off the roster, they keep their role. That is not for you to decide, but for us, the admins.Third, I don’t think we’ve let anyone go months without activity. Are you sure you’re not following someone who was all ready put up on the unfollow roster? And if we did miss a person, please tell us who, and we might be able to help figure that out.Fourth, we’ve really tightened up on our activity checks. I don’t know about you, mister Grey Face, but there it is.

I’d also really appreciate it that you not stalk our cast to make some kind of point. Both myself and Ana are pretty consistent with check-ups and finding out what’s-what. And if you’re part of our cast, we’re supposed to be family here, and you really should’ve worked up the courage to do this off anon. It’s a little more than rude and you know what we do with the rude.

We've noticed that the activity around here has been dropping significantly in the past few weeks, even more than it had before. I would just like ask everyone to make a little more effort to stay active. I know real life is getting busy and that always comes first, but we really need to keep moving. I'd hate to see the group to end because of inactivity; when the time comes, we'd like to do one final kickass plot to go out with a bang rather than just let it die out slowly.

We will be posting the bios currently in our drafts within the next week or so, but those will be the only bios we will be posting. We are a big group as it is and there's plenty of open roles already, we feel like there's no need for many more. As for the current OC ban, that is still to be determined whether we will we be lifting it or keeping it on permanently. More information on that will come.
