I'm sorry that you feel that way about my post. I was only trying to give you some advice to help.

I've been trying to get the same RP going for over a year now. I haven't had more than one person at a time express interest. That one person, then, just never responds back. 

...

How long have you waited for an RP to catch on? Do you believe there is a time when you should give up?

When I read that, I naturally thought, "this guy has created a topic because he is having trouble, I'll see what's bothering him" and had a look for your ooc. I was going to be a bit more generic with my post, but when I saw your ooc I thought I would rather give some feedback in order to help another forum member. I even went through [@Vilageidiotx] and [@Dinh AaronMk]'s NRP as well as [@Ellri]'s Star wars RP, both of which have several thousand posts in total just to have a bit of a comparison.

Rigidity in a thread is what makes it difficult for others to get involved. Even in this thread we are having difficulty in a simple discussion because speech and topics are naturally fluid and will flow from one genre to another in order to discover what the route topic is about. So if we are talking about setting up interest checks, I spoke about layout, formatting, imagery and trimming the fat, but spoke to you as the OP by using your thread so that you would understand the topic more.

I remember once [@Ellri] spoke about using a simple map in rps as it can help so much with describing a scene. People can visually look at something and grasp a better understanding for the layout and design.

Like I said before, and this is aimed at everyone, go for that wow factor. There are thousands of Rps here and you need to catch the attention of a player in minutes. A good title, a quick to understand world, and a motive that engages people. Treat interest checks like the cover of a book.

I think that's all from me. Don't really have anything more to say on this topic.
