...I feel like I should clarify.
I didn't write up a short "so-and-so character walks into this tavern and sits down, looking shyly about" thread and post that in the In-Character section with an [OPEN] tag. That's not what got me replies.
I sat down and wrote what I thought and hoped was an interesting story, fully expecting to be ignored. I was just having fun. I made a few references to something I'd spotted while standing around being a loner in-game, and included a little disclaimer about how I was only recording what my character had seen, as he saw it, and if anyone wanted me to make changes I'd be perfectly happy to do so. I was not writing a hook to wait around and see if anyone was going to drag me into their RP (EDIT: even though that's what I wanted). I sat down and wrote a story because I enjoyed it, because I wanted others to get to know my character, and because, yes, I was hoping someone would notice me... but I wasn't counting on it.
I highly doubt anyone is going to get the sort of fulfilling roleplay they want out of doing on the Town Square board exactly what they do in-game, i.e. sitting around and waiting for someone to approach you. Your chances of being approached for RP are about the same, the only difference is that you're not being drowned out in the noise of Quicksand chat spam.
