i think they're a relic of an older time on lotc, even though i preferred to leave people alive on my siliti after a feed it felt like an incessant chore every week to log on and instead of do interesting evil guy rp like manipulating a nation or making floating islands i think "fucks sake i have to ******* feed" and then i have to go and inconvenience someones day with rp neither of us want to be a part of. ST also revealed upon the shelf of siliti that the vast majority of the community hadn't even fed in months and was not roleplaying the consequences. is that a problem with the community or the fact that such a system is nigh impossible to moderate and enforce?

despite all this i do not see an alternative to feeding mechanics.

cool idea and from a balance standpoint it's pretty necessary, but it can be a little difficult to work around if you end up busy irl after making the commitment. it can be pretty frustrating being forced to make your character start to starve because of circumstances beyond your control. not to mention it can get a bit repetitive having to set aside time to effectively do the same scene over and over every week or so, which can suck the fun out of the ca a little bit. there's definitely a need for it, and it's a great lore tidbit that adds an element of moral ambiguity to something that might otherwise be all benefits, but it wouldn't hurt to adjust how it works to add more variety to feeding scenes and to accommodate for schedule issues - can't really think of how you'd do that though

tried to make them real for varg lore and it just created issues. as others say, its a relic of a different time that'd need to be revamped conceptually to be feasible.
