[quote=@Willy Vereb] Oz mentioned to distributing discord link to those who made sheets so I figure that's what is going to happen. [@ClocktowerEchos]I also understand your concern and worded similar in the first page. The way I see it this can be worked out in some form through the following: 1.) Oz only handles out invites to those who already made a sheet. Not twiddling your tumbs here. 2.) We can mandate that important stuff have to be posted in the OOC so it won't lost 3.) Try enforcing a posting regimen so inactivity be averted. How does it sound? [/quote] Keeping an RP alive means keeping the thread alive and discord servers siphon away any activity in a thread to the chat. Even if we only let people with NSs in, then that means most of the active population is going to be on the discord. It will also be another gate for people who want to get in to come across since now they will just have to look at a dead OOC, wondering if there's anything going on in a discord. Plus this is an NRP, everyone knows that few NSs will truly be 100% complete with a sizable amount bare. If you only post important stuff in the OOC but all the activity isn't on the OOC, then there is really no reason to be posting to the OOC. At that point you might as well just post announcements in the discord if everyone is over there. What could happen is that there is an @everyone post on the OOC and then the 0 post is updated with that. Also posting schedules really don't work as well as people want to believe. They work for about 5 posts at most or something and then people just start going dark because having to reguarly post now feels like a chore they have to do or drop the RP. For people who already can barely find time to put up a post that isn't three lines and a picture, having yet another thing in the back of your mind telling you "oh don't forget to write for that RP" isn't going to help. [b]tl;dr - The use of discord will siphon activity away from the OOC and by extension the RP as people will no longer feel a need to regularly check the thread. With all the activity moving away from the OOC, the discord becomes the primary communication method which makes the OOC less viewed and useful thus putting more stuff into the discord feeding a loop.[/b]
