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 and got 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. 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. 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.
No, I understand. I just think utilizing the IC section of the forums is a good idea as a whole. Jumping into already made IC threads or posting stories. It's a good idea to really get your character out there.
