[quote=@Dark Jack]Thank you for reacting, yoshua and Rhaevnn, but eh, yeah, as you realize yourselves you can't really do anything. I'm just [I]quite[/I] worried with how long it's been with activity in the RP being so low... Nessa just posted, and I know that Shien is waiting for [@Legion X51] to post before she can, which stalls things in that scene. And I know that [@Mercinus3] is busy with his stuff, but eh... yeah, he said he was going to post "ASAP" more than two months ago, which stalls [I]that[/I] scene... And naturally [@Ashgan] has his turn up in his scene, as well.

Eh, all in all I'm just worried for the RP, and (no offense to you for writing it, of course) only become more so when I notice status-messages of the players denoting that they have gone too long without being excited for an RP. Hell, The Prophecy has been practically standing still for two months, aside from a few posts from myself, Nessa and Shien; I wouldn't even blame people for losing their passion for the RP at such an unforgivably slow pace. I just don't know what to do about it...
So yeah, in summary I'm worried.

It has also been recommended to me that, once the main group reaches Zerul City (at current pace, sometime in the early 2020'ies), an effort is made to try to recruit some additional players for the RP... a recruitment thread and possibly (was suggested, still debating with myself whether it would be an advisable course of action) the reposting of the RP itself to make its age and length less apparent and imposing to new players (not that the age reflected on this thread is an accurate portrayal of the true age of the RP. How old is it by now? Must be about seven or eight years...[/quote]
Ah, so you saw that status and got worried. Hmmm, see that's not so much relate to The Prophecy. The world of The Prophecy and the interactions between the characters interest me greatly. While the pace [i]can[/i] be a bane to "excitement," it's not at all the reason for that post. I enjoy this RP and I have no intention of dropping it. If things tappered off as you are worried that they may be, I'd be on board if you even had to reboot it. I like the world and the possibilities it presents far too much to abandon this.

Plus, I still have my character Ilitas on my mind from time to time.

Just, I'd like to explain that that status and my excitement aren't entirely related to my enjoyment and my ability to write and my desire to stay in something--in this case this RP.

My "excitement," is something that occurs pretty much only when there's a large-ish group of players/characters in a certain level of proximity, or at least able to affect one another (if only through expanding ripples through the world caused by their actions) despite the distance between them. Additionally, excitement for me tends to be made by the player to player OOC interactions when discussing the RP and the world and what they want to do in the future. Schemes, lore ideas, plotlines, hypotheticals, stuff like that. In my experience these conversations most engage (and excite) me when they're in an IRC environment.

There are probably a few other things that contribute to my excitement, such as being able to contribute to the world at large (be it through lore, or exploration, or some other method I can't immediately bring to mind). Anywho, my experience with the Prophecy, especially since I'on came into contact with other characters, be they your NPCs, or people's player characters such as Ixion and Morgan, I've found that I am gradually enjoying the experience more and more. It's also amazing to be surrounded by so many fantastic writer's and brilliant inventive/creative minds :)

So yeah. Don't you worry about my excitement for it is a fickle beast. The greater the amount of time that I RP the less I see that powerful inspiration/excitement. It's exceptionally difficult for me to get excited at this point. Instead I amuse myself and wrap myself in a world and the characters therein, which supplants that "excitement," and still allows a great deal of enjoyment even if it doesn't rouse the deepest parts of my creative being--if I may be a tad over-dramatic and poetic haha.

So yeah...that.

Man I am really bad at ending OOC posts....

The ending is always so awkward. Perhaps I rant/freewrite too much when I do this? I don't know.

I'm going to stop now.
