On Thursday, January 29th, an important message was given to our roleplayers about the current (in)activity issue that TH was facing. The roleplay was given a little over a week for things to change, and for the first few days, things were looking good: we had good feedback, we saw more people on the dash and we had four new roleplayers join the group...

However, today is Sunday, February 8th 2015 - the day of our deadline, and our goal has not been fully realized.

Although the first 3-4 days were decent, the end of the week provided a steady decline reminiscent of the pattern of low activity we have been experiencing lately, despite all the members who are still around. There were even spans of a few hours where only one person would be online. Today's activity check only seemed to confirm these concerns. Even if people are still roleplaying on the dash, it isn't enough to maintain the group dynamic we were so proud of here at TH. And as was said on every activity check in the past, "activity is more than coming online every two-three days just to do a round of replies before leaving again, simply to secure your role" (Thursday, Jan. 29th).

Beyond roleplaying on the dash though, the lack of activity made administrative duties more difficult for us, since we received very little feedback from our rpers regarding the changes being made to TH. This made the task less motivating for us in terms of knowing whether the revamp (graphics overhaul, reposts, etc.) was even worth it.

After almost two years and many great memories along the way, it is with heavy hearts that we now announce: The Hamptons Supernatural RolePlay is officially closed... Maybe this is just a 'see you later', but for now, we will be dismantling.

To our current roleplayers: Those of you who have had your roles for a long time and have formed attachments to your characters: If you wish to keep them, please contact me to let me know - Don't just rip off a character or the roleplay in order to continue. As many of these are my characters, I reserve the right to know if you plan on continuing with them. I'll gladly let you keep them as indies (I'll remain with Sofia as an indie-rper myself), but just please come and speak with me first.

It was a long journey and both myself and Admin X are sad to see it come to an end for now. Still, we wish you all the very best and thank you all sincerely for the pleasure and the honour of roleplaying with each and every one of you. You are an amazing group of roleplayers and writers, and your portrayal of the characters were often better than I could ever have envisioned.

With much love,

Sebastian had officially gotten z e r o sleep over the past three days...and it was starting to really affect his ability to function like a standard model human being. When he was tired, not only was he unable to walk without coming precariously close to bumping into every other person who was on the sidewalk between his place and the coffee shop, but he lost some...control, too.

Also, I am aware of how that works out. Leaving an RPG quietly and respectfully, that is - but I guess a simple warning on what all of you have gotten into is not a welcomed thing around here.

Ohh, and if you want a spot in Ana's "Nice List" - make sure to reply to everything I post and defend her as much as you can. If you do something wrong, she'll give yo another chance because you agree with her. If you want to get kicked out or be on her bad side, reply the fact that you agree with me and she'll keep you around because you didn't do anything against the rules - but you'll end up having her make problems for you, just to have you decide on yourself to leave.

So, if you want to be on Ana's good side - agree with everything she says, even if it's the stupidest thing you've ever seen or heard. Especially when it comes to ships she wants to happen, she'll push and push for it to happen and hate on the person who ruins the whole thing if it doesn't happen the way she wanted. Trust me, if you don't want this RPG to have some kind of "I'm closing down the RP" kind of drama, which her "Baby RP" had gotten repeatedly.

Ohh, and if you want to know about something - don't ask her, ask someone else about it because she'll end up doing it anyways. She's not confident enough as an Admin, before and now - to make up her own decisions on everything that's going on in the RPG she made herself. She relies on the Co-Admin, all the time.

One more thing, if you're planning to leave the RPG - expect a backstabbing post from her on the OOC Blog, okay? On good terms or not, she will have something in her mind about how much she hates certain people. It may or may not be a lie or twisted, but more or less - it will be there. She also doesn't know how to differentiate OOC and IC feelings by the way, so if her Character hates yours - assume that she hates you OOC as well.
