Waiting on you guys to make posts. If you guys aren't interested in continuing, let me know. I need to know if the RP is dead. I'm starting to get a little bit frustrated and if this continues, I may just end the RP all together. :\

Uh, I don't really know what's going on with everyone. I can post again but I'd been waiting it out for some of the others. :/

I know. I didn't want to post for Kitty until a few others have posted. I'm going to try sending people messages but if we don't get a response, I'm thinking Reverie Manor may be closed. :\

Alright. Messages have been sent. Only time will tell now.

I've gotten a response from two people so far. One saying that they are busy but are still interested. The other has quit for now. If, by the weekend, I do not get more responses, we will have to try (Once again...) to revive the RP.

I'm actually a bit.. discouraged right now. I tried to start another RP, a more relaxed Sandbox RP and I've gotten all of two bites. So I'm skeptical at best if anyone is going to bite at an already dying RP. Though, I would be more than welcome to continue with just the two of you that are responding to me, LittleRedPanda and WileyCoyote. I would also like to thank you tremendously for sticking it out with me. I've had my ups and downs about this RP but over-all I really want to keep trying, especially if you guys do. I want to see this RP to it's finish.

So, if there are no responses by the end of this weekend, we'll need to start Operation: Get More Roleplayers! ^o^/

I don't have any particular qualms about either option. We could continue just us or we could recruit more people. Either way, I plan on sticking this out to the very end. That said, when the time comes, if we decide to recruit, I think we should get together and do a little marketing brainstorming about how to present the idea via interest check. I think it's very interesting but I'm sure there are better ways to jazz up it's description and flesh it out a bit more in order to get more people on board.

As for anybody lurking around here, while we're all frustrated that you're being unreliable, we are all, at the end of the day, strangers, and saying you no longer wish to participate isn't going to hurt, bother, or annoy anyone. Certainly not more than having us waiting it out for nothing. Give a verdict so we can move on with our rp lives. It's called common courtesy and consideration. Give it a shot.

Lol. Hello Grey. Just knowing that you're still around and interested is enough for now. Just try to stick around best you can.

And I agree Wiley. We should, collectively, brainstorm ideas to make the RP more appealing to the eyes of our victims fellow roleplayers.

Alright, well. It's time to wake up!

I'm going to have this weekend (I'll be going home from college.) to start working on getting this RP back up on it's feet. And to start, we're going to close the IC. So, no more posts until I say so. (Not like any of you are posting anyway.) We are going to brainstorm ideas to advertise our RP so that we can get a few more people here. I know we have at least three or four characters still here but I feel like we may need more (Dedicated RPers) so that it can pick up again. I don't know if I'm just doing something wrong, or what but I'm not giving up. So, I'm asking for your help. What have we been doing wrong and how can we make it better? I'm putting my neck on the chopping block, chop away. I'm also going to try revising the rules again.

Uh, I'm not really sure what happened. I made a response yesterday with some ideas but I guess it didn't take so here's the summarized version:
I think the very first thing we should do is work on fleshing out the scenario. Right now it's very cloudy as to what's actually going to be going on and I think an important part of reeling in interested rpers and more importantly, keeping them interested, is going to depend on us making it a little more clear what we're trying to do. I love the idea, I think it's great, I just think it could be conveyed a little better in the interest check and the opening IC post. I think we need to make it clear that there's magics involved, and what exactly we'll be doing to "make our dreams come true". Not that you have to give away the whole plot or anything, I just think the reason why it died out is because even though this does have a dedicated plot, it still felt more or less sandboxy, because no one really knew what was supposed to going on, or how to really conduct their characters in preparation for whatever was going to happen next. Specifically, I think we should open it up with a little preface from our host. Nothing big or serious, but something that lets us know that our host is very much so around and is going to be the driving factor for whatever we do and that he does indeed have some sneakiness up his sleeve. For example "Blahblah my guests have arrived...yadayada surprises in store, blah yada blah, little do they know..yada blah blah evil cackle..blah blah"

Just something to set the tone and look forward to I suppose.

Hm... I could definitely do that while at the same time showing that magic is most definitely involved. I've also read up on other sites's 'How To Advertise Your RP' threads. And the basic idea I'm getting is bullet points. Intro to get the main idea across and then a list of the basic ideas of the plot like,

-Magic
-Mystery
-Adventure
-Puzzle

I actually already have a few ideas for the characters to 'solve' but I never got to use them as we never really got that far... When they all woke up, Ianto was supposed to take them into a room underground, a sparring room where they would fight a doppelganger of them selves ( A weaker version. ) But again, I we never really got there.

I'm still on the ropes of whether or not I want there to be one definite winner. I don't want to give a whole lot away because I think it's cool... and yeah. But 'O' really just wants to find someone worthy of a wish be it in personality, brains or brawn. That depends on the players. But yes... I'll try to make a good intro 'Int Chk' type post. I'll post it here later so you guys can see it and critique it.

You and me both. But, if you're willing to stick it out, we'll be trying our best to get it back on it's feet. And we'll need your help to, granted you want to try and help us. ^-^

I think your int check looks great! I'm not sure why I hadn't seen it before, I think there's something wrong with my sub box, but it looks great. How have responses been so far? May I have a link to it?

I haven't made it yet. I was waiting for feedback. If it's good, I'll post it and see what kind of reaction we can get.

I checked it out and I'm glad to see we've got some interest! I think you should drop them the CS while the ball is still hot and rolling. C:
