[OOC] Myriad Reality

[Nemeses]

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

But they won't need more. You'd have to shut it down halfway through and say "Want more? Join the original" just like a game demo. Otherwise, they'll stay on that one.

@Webmaster

But you won't know that unless you try. As we've already seen, MR is not going to get as large as we want unless we go get people. And I'm willing to take every avenue we can to attempt help us grow.

[Mammalia]

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It will attract people who want the norm, yes, but that's the bait on the hook, if you will. If the people who join come to love the world of MR itself to the point that they want more of it, then I'd say it'll be much easier then to get people to join us and stay.

@Nemeses

But, they won't be ready to adapt. The allure of MR is, in the end, how different it is. On the old Guild, I joined a lot of RPs with unique ideas, including MR, but they were all too normal for me--except for the one that was different. Now, most other people will be looking for normal RPs, in their comfort zones, with more unique ideas--and people are all too willing to sacrifice cool stuff when it's too hard. I think that MR will be just another normal RP with a unique idea for them, and when it comes time to switch, they just won't be ready for it.

We haven't tried the interest check yet.

Also, the way you worded it makes it sound like it's giving up on MR and making a sequel. New members, characters, stories, and settings means a new thing altogether. Especially if not everyone in MR goes to this new one.

@DarkwolfX37

As far as I'm aware, none of us are.

@Nemeses

But we're not desperate for more people, now. We're not going to scrape members off the walls, because we'll only get sawdust. We're looking for the best and brightest--the people who we know want to adapt. We want people who know how to understand, and it's hard to find that in all the people that just play descriptive roleplays. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I wouldn't want people who came just because they liked the idea. I want people who come because they want the challenge.

[Mammalia]

Big line I'm trying out here--how do you guys feel when you read this line?

She could find nothing to say to describe the terror--no, the pain--no, the melancholy--no, the sorrow--no, the hope--no. She could not say a word.

Or maybe:

She could find nothing to say to describe the terror--the pain? Sorrow? No, the hope? Melancholy? She could not say a word.

Or perhaps:

She was lost in a haze of so many feelings--pain, sorrow, hope, melancholy--and yet it was all so incomprehensible, so absurd, so wrong,

Too many dashes in the first. It's painful to the eye.

The third ones pretty good.

@Mammalia

This is to help them adapt though. To help them see. Once these people get to actually see the greatness of MR is to show it to them a little at a time.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

We haven't tried the interest check yet.

@Etcetera

But an interest check won't expand MR as far put as we talked before. At least, as far as I was interpreting us to be discussing.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

I don't understand the point or difference here. Why make a spinoff and what's different other than the third-person?

@DarkwolfX37

To appeal to others and try to get them to enjoy the experience like we all do, but not throwing it all at them at once.

@DarkwolfX37

I see where you're coming from with that. I'll work something out. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not doing this out of desperation. I thought I mentioned that the last time I brought this up.

@Etcetera

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

I definitely don't like the first one.
All the question marks in the second one throw it off.
The third is the best but it seems to run on.

@DarkwolfX37

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

The third ones pretty good.

@souleaterfan320

Yeah, everybody I asked liked the third one the most. It runs on a little because it's from the point of view of someone who is confused.

Why do we need a giant influx of people? That'll be so hard to maintain.

@Nimda

More personalities, more ideas, more creativity.

@souleaterfan320

I'm talking about all at once.

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I'm talking about all at once.

@Webmaster

If I could handle 35 people in an Rp, you could handle at least 10 more.

@Nimda

That'll be where the whole deal with having different worlds running all at once comes in. We could split them off into different threads that intermingle from time to time.

We discussed that, and I remember it. But are we truly ready for it?

I don't think we are.
