Hey guys.
Naih again.
I recently posted about the sort of 'coldness' in the community. Now while I have found some roleplay and joined more linkshells than I had before; roleplay is still a little stale. That is not what I am here to talk about.
I am here to rant about the closed-offness of the community.
Now i've had a few instances and I've heard from multiple people that this isn't just the case for me. It is hurting the community.
I walk pretty much everywhere. I rarely see any roleplay outside of three or four areas. You know there is something wrong with the community when you spontaneously roleplay with someone or respond to someone - and they tell you to back off, go away or ignore you because you aren't in their FC/LS or inner group.
I know this sounds mean, cruel. But the community needs to sort out its shit. There needs to be more public awareness of events. There need to be more event planners. People need to include other potential role play partners other than their Ic 'beau'. People get locked up with two or three people then exclude everyone else in the community. There is no central 'union' of characters. People don't know one another, they know maybe 10 people. No one understands rumors of another person.
I'm currently planning a bi-weekly 'Sanctum of the 12' event. For any religious characters. But I don't know if I anyone would even come given the amount of issues i've had so far in motivating any of my friends to keep looking.
What I ask of you:

What I ask of you:
- Plan more events if you can. Creativity and diversity drives the game.
- If you see others about who look like (even just look like) invite them to your roleplay. You may make a new friend.
- Check up on people after one scene. Don't wait for them.
- Start a 'rumor board' Spread your name passed more than 4 people.
