Hey, I need a bit of advice. My site is an adventure RP that has two parts: 1. Characters (called “Subjects”) are taken from the outside world and put into a testing environment similar to the arena from the Hunger Games. It has many of the same survival/fighting mechanics, but ultimately characters can be of any age, and there can be more than one “winner.” 2. The isolated town of Mistwell that watches the above in the Documentary. Because they believe the Subjects are volunteers, these Mistwell residents don’t have many concerns for the wellbeing of the Subjects while they’re in the testing facility more than you would for any person on, say, Survivor. The living Subjects are sent to Mistwell to live where they are welcomed into the community like celebrities. The issue I’m having is that it’s a bit of a hard sell when it comes to getting people on board. It’s a very bizarre concept, and although it’s like the Hunger Games, it’s not. All the people who want these mechanics go instead to an actual Hunger Games site. Everyone else just doesn’t join because these mechanics exist, and it’s so foreign to play-by-post forum RPers. I love both “parts” to the site, and one can’t function without the other. If you only play the Reserve (#1), it would get so boring since you’re just in survival mode all the time. And if you only have Mistwell (#2), it’s pretty much the same as a small town RP. It’s about time for us to start another Reserve sequence since our first one ended, but I’m struggling. I want more members aboard so that we’re not just RPing with the same couple people and we can RP a wide variety of characters. But I’m considering stalling it so that we can build up the town of Mistwell. I’m even thinking about marketing the site mainly as a “twisted small town” sort of thing just to get people aboard. I don’t believe that everyone needs to play the Reserve if they don’t want to, and I’m perfectly fine having people play just in Mistwell. I'm concerned that if we don't get new blood, we'll stagnate. What are your thoughts? Do you have any advice? If you do think I should market it temporarily as a “twisted small town” RP, do you have any additional suggestions? Please feel free to ask questions if you need clarification on something, or check out my board (link in sig) if it helps.- 10 replies
