Re: OOC and character building
I, too, really love the fact that we're pushing along in a great game with minimal 'revolving door'. It does my heart good, and I love seeing what y'all come up with.
And never fear- I'm sure Broadside will be back with some wonderful stories when she's able. In fact, as mentioned, she and I are working on a little behind-the-scenes thing to explain part of her absence (the other part being her family taking a trip outside of the country, foreshadowed in one of her own earlier posts).
This, however, brings me to something I've been hesitant to bring up. I feel I sort-of should, though.
When everyone signed on to this project, there was an expectation of two posts a week, or a post every three days. I know well that life lifes, and that people can't always make that. But I think we also all know that games spin down when people don't post.
Now, I also know that summer is ending, and that people tend to get their time filled with other things when that happens. RPOL becomes less active, and even less so when winter sets in.
So I wanted to solicit: What do we do with posting expectations? I would love to keep up the twice-a-week, as it keeps the story moving and keeps people engaged, but as time has moved on, I see that becoming less and less a standard that some players either want to or can keep up with.
What do you folks want to do? Should we loosen to a once-a-week? Once every four or five days? Is there something I can do to encourage or incentivize more frequent posting?
What do you think?
