[quote=@Lord Wraith] You get into an awkward position with all the characters already taken, then you have all the IC characters introduced via player supporting casts. And then to cherry pick what we want to remain canon from being dropped it gets really overwhelming for a new player. And I'm speaking as someone who has been trying to get a new player in the door. Long story short, to do a recruiting drive properly, you're either going to need to give some guidance, whether by documenting all characters currently in use, or give concession in that new players are going to need freedom to break from previous posts by dropped players. If that last idea rubs you the wrong way, then you need to seriously consider if the game needs a recruiting drive. [/quote] Today was the cut off for my messages to players, so I plan to update the character roster later today when I get a minute. Being that my idea behind this game was almost total player freedom I'm not crazy about the idea of telling people who we'd prefer they play. I don't actually expect we'll get many more people from the recruitment drive than who we have now, but I just wanted to give notice to anyone who's interested, but perhaps seen the high post count and felt like they couldn't apply the opportunity to apply. I also believe it couldn't harm the roleplay, it's always nice to have some new ideas and stories floating around.
