Hm, activity seems to have dwindled yet again, which is a shame, I was excited from the boost of activity Wolf initiated. With that in mind, I think that simpler role-plays with a basic but open-ended quest are more likely to be popular. Considering Wolf's successful style, I was thinking about trying to recreate that form in a new role-play (seeing as activity plummeted).

My next role-play involves the user characters have their own automatic backstory: every character dreams or has a vision of what will happen in the future, and so by fate, are driven to fulfill their destiny, who eventually form into one group, and then involving defeating several powerful beings/factions, meeting several NPC-like heroes who are critical to the quest yet will have their own agendas that may trigger PvP or NPC conflict, and an ending of which there can be only one victory, who then decrees the epilogue: the fate of the world. The users' characters' backstories will also impact the role-play, and serving as a driving force as well that I will correlate into the role-play or crossover during role-playing.

I had in mind a typical setting of casual fantasy (all equipment must be pre-1699), mixing themes of Ancient Greece, the bible, medieval Europe, and so on. The role-play won't be too complex or long, instead racing characters through various scenarios, to keep the users on their toes. The use of Imgur images will also help.

Nevertheless, does anyone have any comments or suggestions to help boost/recover/prolong activity?

Again, I really want to create that warring faction RP, but faction RPs don't seem to be too popular if my most recent thread is anything to go by.

Also, there are a lot of threads in circulation, and I feel like everyone might be too busy with the other ones to participate.

I've kind of reached a block in the threads I participate in, which is why I'm not posting (aside from my dwindling butt-on-chair screen time).

Koray is a difficult post to write; I have a rough five minute draft, but am waiting for the right time to post it. Basically, I feel I got back ended by the wrong end of a timeskip - signifying that Alisha was not only stuck in filler, but a filler nobody cared about enough to conclude. There are almost as many plot induced holes than a dc comic, and I'm the sort of nitpicker who HATES to add to them.

This statement holds true for Broken World as well - with Anja dead and Dirk pushed into a gun chase (with little prospect of anyone else coming back or joining), I'm not really sure how much more I can add to that scene.

I don't believe there was actually a timeskip. Darius just didn't teleport the original kids as far away as we had originally thought.

But Alisha could probably run, or something. Or end up becoming Ms. Raised By Mr. Raised By Wolves.
