[quote=@Sep] My biggest question is do we need an active recruitment? We have enough of a core cast that realistically Coulson could form the Avengers and Tony could form a Justice League and there'd probably still be people running around independently. I'm not against new players, just saying we have a good group now to keep moving things forward. What may be easier though if you're recruiting is offer up people a list of characters who have been taken, and those that have some established lore. Such as Arthur, the GoTG, Hawkeye etc. People could theoretically apply for those characters but to line up with the roleplay there's certain hoops to go through. [/quote] Speaking as someone who was largely on the outskirts of these games for a number of years the 'oh I am not actually playing that character but I'd rather they not be played or also they have to be played x way' is also pretty exhausting and off putting as a new arrival. I think if we want to do a push for more players we should probably extend the leniency of not forcing people to stick to previous purged characters to also existing players being more flexible with the idea of people playing characters we may have mentioned or used as NPCs in ways we didnt anticipate. Which isn't to say throw any and all restrictions based on what has already happened out the window, more just me bringing up an issue I know plenty of people have avoided these games over in the past. Alternatively we don't reinvent the wheel and just keep chugging along as is because while we may have lost some people we still have a bunch of very active folks. PS: Keen eyes may note I didn't get my posts up. Had to deal with something quite serious IRL but I will endeavour to fix this ASAP.
