One Last Gasp

[Dannyrulx]

Hey! I'm doing a load of RP's because I'm bored and it's late...

Plot: You are one of the many Atlanteans. Your people have conquered the word, your ships sailing from America to Italy and your army has never lost a war. However, great change is coming. Storms are moving in. Flooding is becoming more common... Atlantis is... Sinking...

You're a citizen on the large island of Atlantis in it's fatal year before it sinks to the depths. It's a Roman-era RP set outside both the real world and that of DS, so swords, gladiators, senators... It's basically a different Rome.

Character:

Name: Quintus Ocullam (Sue me)

Age: 23

Profession: Businessman extrodinaire

Prestige: (This is insanely important, the more prestige, the more well known you are. This has benefits  (Senators get let on a lifeboat before street urchins for example) but also disadvantages (No-ones gonna care about a nobody in a crowd, but that rich guy? Gonna get robbed) Fairly well known.

Wealth: Comfortable

Relationships: Brother who's a well-regarded soldier, father is a senator. 

Skills: Can use a sword, well-versed, literate, can recite poetry/songs from memory, finance-savvy. (Think about education. Not everyone can read!)

This will be a more "personal" RP, so please actually follow your prestige/wealth. Don't have a superstar be ignored by everyone for convenience, and don't have a homeless person bribe a senator. Otherwise... Have fun!

Honest tip here: take it easy. You might be bored or whatever but making two new role plays and joining multiple ones is not good. You'll probably loose track of them. Focus on just one or two roleplays and see how it goes first.

Normally, I would agree with you. But when there's only the "core" RP'ers, making multiple is a must, as only a few will ever gather enough to hit the three page mark, let alone thirty or three hundred.

...no it's not a must? If they don't join one why would they join two?

[Dannyrulx]

Basically;

Those non-roleplayers who see an interesting RP are more likely to play the more there are, just, statistically. You seem like a smart guy, so do the math...

Danny, RP traffic on this forum is dead.  The only person who's joined and sticked around in recent memory is Chris, and that's like in a year and a half.

Know how I can tell? 

My abandoned RP from freaking spring last year is on THE FRONT PAGE.

How did it come to this? What happened?
