Derpy stepping down as headwiz

[Derpy]

Friends, I've decided to step down as headwiz of EquestriaMUCK. This place is only a shadow of what it used to be, but after EB left, I was prepared and motivated to bring it back. And I gave it a hard try for a good month or so, but the fact is, since then, I haven't found myself caring about playing ponies at all. Somehow, the motivation has all but left me. Playing on EquestriaMUCK, let alone running it, has become a chore, not a joy. As such, I don't feel like I can reach out to departed players and ask them to come back, since I won't be genuine when I suggest what fun there is to be had.

This has been weighing on me for a while. For the last week, I've barely logged on at all. So, I'm giving the mantle of headwizard to ProgrammerPony. He tells me that his life is now stabilizing, with a car, a steady schedule and internet of his own. I'll remain as a wizard, though my presence will probably be scarce when I'm not called for. We'll see if my mood changes.

I still like ponies, but my interest is fading. I feel like I've explored them about as much as I feel the need to. I'll still play Celestia unless the wizards decide to cast someone else, so contact me if you want a Celestia scene. I may still run a game now and then, or spur a plot now and then, but I can't give any guarantees.

I hate to say this but I think it's best to just move to Equestria Fair.. I think all of of us are over there now.. Let's go and get a new start..

Thanks for all the work you did put in, Derpy, to take over when EB stepped down. And I'm glad you'll at least be sticking around and continuing to help as can. The place wouldn't be half of what it is without all you've done over the years.

As for Eq Fair, I highly doubt I'd be going over for anything regular. I far prefer FuzzBall mucks and just plain like EqM a lot. If I was going to check another pony one out, it'd probably Eq Dawn again (used to be but got purged). But they had been rude to a few of our players in the past, so I have a small grudge for that still.

Well actually, I would go over to EqF, if ponies on EqF would play over here on EqM as well. Then I could still build and program like I enjoy and where I'm comfortable with it, and just socialize and RP on EqF as well as here.
