Having trouble drawing interest for RP's.

I have been summoned and forced to reply lol kidding of course.

Here's my advice when GMing, you dont need like 8 people to join in all at once, at minimum you need to have at least 2-3 people to be interested. Looking at the Middle Earth RP you had a month up ago, that had 3 people interested in which is a good number to start off with, you don't need 8 people to start an RP at all. And once you the thread actually up that generally gets more interest in the RP as well to to join it.

Next is throw a wider net for your RP: I know that the others said that general isn't the best but I think it helps, but also post your RP in the casual interest checks it'll get your interest more out there. Posting in both helps me with getting interest for my RPs, and then just post your general thread in casual.

My next bit of advice is consistency and preparation: Once you have at least 3 people interested, then get the thread up, tag all of your members in all the interest checks you posted in. And have your OOC prewritten, rules, CS plot etc all beforehand that way you have it ready to go as soon as possible. And like I said above usually once the thread is up more people will usually express interest in your RP. Now as a GM you have to be very consistent with your posting, so once everyone has posted, then you go ahead and post yourself or however your posting rules. I usually try and be as consistent as possible for my RPs and post frequently, as a GM you need to be if you ever want to succeeed.

Last bit of advice Discord: I know you already do this, but once you get the interested people in you invite them right away, make the channels fun, and interaction with players is always key as well to and inform people when you post.

@Master EffeX Anothony walked over and pulled up a seat as he sat down and stretched his legs out, as an assistant came over and handed him over a list of questions that the debate moderator would be asking and quietly started to go them over as he turned his attention over towards Kyrs and nodded. He didn't seem to be to worried about it really. "I believe Ainsley will have it taken care of, but monitor the situation as closely as you can, i'll leave the debate earlier if things escalate back over there." He said as he took a drink from a bottle of water.

@IAmTheIsland@McNephelim "Get the old man and restrain him." The leader said to one of them as they nodded and made sure to give them a wide berth not wanting to be attacked as he followed Shimazu into the back as he made his phone call to the police. "We'll send a unit as soon as possible." The dispatcher said over the phone as the delinquent spotted him. "Come here old man." He said as he found a nearby knife and grabbed it pointing it towards Shimazu. The leader would glare at Sarah as and went over and went to kick her in the stomach knocking Sarah back a few feet as he held up his bat in hand. "Neat little trick." He said to Sarah, the other gang members were beating Kenzo, one of them managing to give him a black eye and bloody nose.

@IAmTheIsland "Decafe it is then." Annabelle said as she started to get the brew up, setting the mug down as she got the water ready, and the coffee beans started to get grounded. "How is the little side project of yours coming?" She asked as Annabelle took the folder from the Veridian Tech incident from earlier today, she leaned herself up against her desk as she started to read through it. "The incident from earlier what else can you tell me about it?" Annabelle asked, as she heard the coffee machine go off, as she set the file back down on her desk, going over to the coffee maker to grab the mug off of it and handing it over to Vaughn.

'I hear you, and maybe a little bit of a warning when you enter my head, it feels a bit weird still.' Diana said through the telepathy link that KT had established as she quietly snuck into Delgato's office and locked the door behind her. 'I'm just going to get what I can from his personal stuff, if we can't find anything incriminating, i'll just look for any meetings he has where he could be vulnerable and go from there.' Diana said, as she made her way towards Anthony's personal computer and inserted a USB in pulling out a personal portable pad out of her pack. 'Stuff is downloading now i'll send what I can in a few seconds.' Diana said as she looked over at the door

One of the Delgatos men turned to Ainsley for a moment as he approached them asking for a sitrep about the situation thats going on right now. "An attacker snuck in through the skylight window and took power out, and took out a few guards." The man said as a younger one spoke up. "It might be that Artemis chick she's been attacking the Delgato's a lot lately. We don't know where they are right now, we were going to check the bossman's office." They said.

"Glad that this will be able to help you out in some way." Madalyne said giving Nancy a friendly smile as she wandered over towards an abandoned bench brushing some dust away from it, before sitting down and looked at Nancy. "My folks aren't expecting me to be back home a little bit later, I can help you get settled in if you want, or get you some supplies to help you get setup like food and stuff like that." Madalyne suggested as she raised an eyebrow slightly at Nancy.

"You know I can handle myself, as you saw earlier today with the delgato soldiers." Madalyne said shaking her head slightly, she knew how to fight pretty well as well, and was good at using her magic in combat as well to. "I could use an illusion spell to help make sure that it'll be harder to find this place if you want." She offered as well to.

Kaitlyn thought for a moment as she leaned up against the side of the door, while looking out onto the beach, before turning towards Diane and gave a slight shrug. "Honestly, there really isn't one, some of us just took on jobs that would help the rest of us really." She answered truthfully. "I was just a college student on vacation here when everything happened, and no real experience when it comes to logistical stuff." She said as she started to hear AJ running over towards them, she started to look a bit worried when she said that some of the kids decided to sneak out.

"Do you know where the arcade place is?" Kaitlyn asked looking over at AJ and Bryan with a worried look, she hoped that it wasn't to far from here really and they could catch up to the kids before they got hurt, she looked around seeing that Jack Landry was nearby, and he would be able to hear what AJ was saying as well to.

"C'mon lets go catch up to the others." Maria said as she started to head out of the basement and started to make her way up the stairs, and back outside, and headed inside there were a few people gathering whatever supplies that there was. "We managed to get the power back on, theres also a barrel of gas there we could possibly use as well to." Maria said giving Jeb a smile he seemed to relax a little bit and nodded. "Good work." He said, as he could hear some yelling going on upstairs hearing someone yelling shut up over and over. "I'll go check it out." Maria said as she started to head up the flight of stairs.

Maria managed to get up to a landing, and spotted June on the landing and approached her. [color=lightreen]"Is everything okay?"[/color] Maria asked looking over at her as she knelt down next to her gently resting a hand on her shoulder. "Is something up there?" Maria asked. "And where is Billie?" Maria asked hoping to get an answer from her.

@Master EffeX As they entered the Millennial Dome a woman under Anthony's employ started to approach holding a tablet in her arms as she looked at Tronical for a moment before turning her attention towards him. "The debate will be in about thirty minutes or so, they have set up a room for you and your detail if you follow me." She said as Anthony nodded and started to follow her through the stadium, they took some of the back routes through the entire building until they made it to a small conference room of sorts as Anthony's people started to make themselves comfortable, there was some food and drinks set up for anyone who wanted them. "So did you detect anything yet Ms. Kerys?" Anthony asked as he sat down on a nearby chair, some of Anthony's men spoke through the radios coordinating with the police assigned to the stadium, making sure things were clear so far.

@IAmTheIsland@McNephelim The group was knocked back, as they slowly started to stand up again, and slowly started to approach them once more, the leader looking a little bit more angry. Some of them started to brandish their weapons which consisted of bats, both wooden and metal, two of them had crowbars and the rest carried various kinds of knives in their hands. "Like we said we wanted some food, but we are itching for some destruction of property as well to." The groups leader said as he gestured to some of them to smash the various things in the Lucky Noodle's dining room, from tea sets to bowls, and various pictures within the room. Some even flipped over the tables and threw chairs across the room, one of the chairs shattering upon impact.

@IAmTheIsland "Come in." Annabelle said, as Gregory could hear the click to her office unlocking allowing him to enter her office, both of their offices doors could be locked and unlocked from their desks if they needed privacy for any meetings that they had in their offices. The DSHA HQ had various conference rooms throughout the entire building, when Gregory entered the office Annabelle's office looked pretty neat, with two walls of bookshelves on either end. There was various pictures of her with different agency leaders around the world and a few world leaders as well as the President of the United States as well to. "What can I do for you Vaughn?" Annabelle asked as she turned her computer screen off as she stood up, making her way towards her personal coffee maker to make herself a cup. "Would you like one?" She offered him.

Madalyne smiled and shook her head slightly and let out a slight laugh. "No this isn't it." Madalyne said as she gestured for Nancy to follow her. "It isn't to far from here." She said as she started to lead her out and away from the small park. "Hows your evening going so far?" Madalyne asked Nancy as she headed over towards what looked like an old and abandoned subway enterance to Paragon City's underground metro system. "This station was abandoned a few years ago, due to constant flooding during hurricane season." She said the entrance was blocked by a concrete wall with a thing of plywood blocking a door entrance it was large enough for the both of them to go into. Madalyne slowly started to push away the plywood as it was pushed aside revealing a set of stairs.

Madalyne held out her palm and produced a small ball of flame lighting up the area as she started to go deeper into the abandoned station until they were now at the bottom of the stairs and in the station itself. Inside smelled very musty and it looked like it had seen better days. Concrete was cracking in places, and a few rats could be seen scurrying around, cobwebs would be seen covering the old benches, as Madalyne moved towards the tracks they were dark and the tracks also had seen better days as puddles of water could be seen at the bottom. "This goes to the other active stations and inactive stations around the entire city so if you want to move about the city quietly you can." She said to Nancy.

"No we can still do this." Diana said as she whispered into her headset as she looked closely at the guards that were there and quietly snuck up to them, and quickly knocked them both out swinging her bow at the back of their heads, their bodies hitting the ground with a loud thud. "I'll check his office for anything if not then i'll get out." Diana said into the radio. "I'll let you know if I got something." Diana said as she quietly snuck around the penthouse.

Oliver would stumble across four more of Delgatos men who were on patrol and looking around, when one of them turned around jumping slightly. "Shit you scared me." One of them said as the other three turned around to see that it was Oliver. "Aren't you supposed to be at the debate or something?" He asked Oliver.

Bryan thought for a moment as he watched the other kids started to wander off towards where they could easily sneak out of the camp as he rubbed his arm slightly. Then he looked back towards where some of the other adults were talking amongst themselves and going on about their day, trying to be useful. "I-I don't know, maybe we can go and check it out and make sure things are okay?" He said sounding nervous and unsure, he didn't want to become a social outcast by the other kids for tattling either. "What do you think we should do?" He asked looking at AJ.

Kaitlyn leaned back slightly as she looked out at the beach and watched as the waves crashed over the shore, running a hand through her hair as she listened to Diane as she asked how she was coping. She was a little bit envious of the kids, they didn't seem to really have a care in the world at the moment on what was going on all around them. "I'm not sure honestly, I just play it by ear, and try to keep myself busy as much as I can." Kaitlyn answered Diane.

Maria looked at the cockroach for a moment and smiled slightly at least it was a bug instead of a zombie as she looked at Sienna. "Hey at least it wasn't one of those big New York City rat." Maria said jokingly as she noticed the gas cannister in the corner of the room and went over to check to see if it was filled or not. Sadly it was empty, but Maria continued to search around the basement until she was able to find a large metal barrel. "Lets check this out." Maria said as she walked over to inspect the barrel and moved it around slightly, she could hear and felt what sounded like liquid was inside. "This is promising." Maria said looking at Sienna and smiled as she went to open up the metal barrel.

There was indeed quiet a bit of liquid in there and the smell of gas filled the room. "This is perfect." Maria said as she looked over and quickly went to the gas cannister that they had found and started to fill it up completely. She looked around the basement some more before finding a large gas generator. "Jackpot." Maria said as she started to fill it up, seeing that there was a pullcord on it, and started to pull it a few times, when the generator started to come back to life. And the lights within the lighthouse started to turn on at all of the levels, as well as the massive light of the lighthouse to came to life.

@Master EffeX@TruckKun Anthony looked at Keyrs for a moment when she mentioned that there was someone back at his penthouse, he didn't make any real indication if he was worried or not, before speaking. "Lockdown the building, and observe through the cameras if they access any computers lock them out." Anthony said, as he thought about who it was, and quickly came up with the only person he know who had a major grudge against him which was Artemis. He turned towards Oliver, as much as he prefered to keep him as personal security he didn't want anyone to steal information from him.

"Oliver, go back to the penthouse and take care of whoever is there. I'll make sure to allow you to use your powers inside to get around quickly." He told him, as he took out a small tablet nearby to allow Oliver to shadowtravel to the building with ease. Their limo came to a stop at the Millenium Dome. A member of his security detail got up and opened the door for him as he got up and started to approach the reporters and shake some hands of some of his constituents who came to see him. He started to take the time and answer a few questions from the reporters while smiling as he talked to them briefly before entering the building itself. Over on the building that the Weeping had appeared in overlooking the Millenium Dome a spirit would appear near him gesturing to the limo that Anthony Delgato and his party were as he got out of the car to talk to some of the press and entering the building itself.

@IAmTheIsland@McNephelim They three of them would hear the front door open, if any of them took the moment to look out into the main dining room they would see a small group of kids wearing 70th Street Gang shirt colors there were around ten of them five went to take a seat, some of them even propped their feet onto the tables. "Yo we'd like something to eat." The leader of the group said, some of them they could see were holding bats and crowbars as well to, they looked like they were hungry and they also were here to start up some trouble in the Lucky Noodle.

Madalyne was glad to find that Sarah had found her earlier in the day and told her that she was fine, and told her what had happened when Sarah had found her and had told here she would contact her if something ended up coming after her once again.

Madalyne looked down at her phone seeing that it was a text from Nancy and replied her with a thumbs up emoji as Madalyne sat waiting quietly as she looked around, there were a few people going on about their evening a few joggers could be seen as Madalyne gave them a friendly smile and nod. She took out her phone again getting a text from her mother, she rolled her eyes slightly and sighed as Madalyne replied back giving her an update on her whereabouts.

The part was pretty much clear now when she heard the sound of jets flying nearby and spotted Nancy's fancy mech suit in the distance and stood up, giving her a wave letting Nancy know where she was.

"Yeah One Eyed Tony wouldn't have his closely guarded secrets on a laptop or anything like that, it would be on a secured server." Diana said as she stood up and stretched slightly, she wasn't able to teleport around the place. The last time she had tried to take him out, she failed and used everything he could to negate someone from simply teleporting into his own HQ. "Aren't I always careful?" Diana said over the radio jokingly as she used a tool and cut a way through the window and jumped into the building, quietly landing into the reception area.

Then suddenly a series of redlights started to go off, and shudders started to quickly go down over the entire building started to go into lockdown mode. "Well shit, something triggered the lockdown." Diana said as she drew out her bow quickly going for cover nearby as a few guards started to round the corner they were on alert now as they looked around the room while talking amongst themselves.

"The adults have cleared the area around the camp outside of the walls near and around the arcade it was clear when I entered it last night." Jason said to AJ seeing her questioning about the safety of the arcade. "Besides, being cooped up here all day isn't all that fun honestly kinda gets boring after awhile doing the same thing." He suggested as he looked towards the other kids, some of them seemed to be a little bit weary as well to, however the older kids were interested on going. "I don't think thats a really good idea either." Bryan said sticking close to AJ as well to.

Jason looked towards the two of them and shrugged slightly, he wasn't going to force them to go if they didn't want to. "Suit yourselves then, soccer is kinda getting boring to anyway." He said as he looked at the others the older kids nodded in agreement. "If anyone wants to go now, lets go." Jason suggested as he dropped the soccer ball down onto the sand most of the older kids started to follow Jason, while the younger ones hesitated some stayed while others went to join them.

Kaitlyn watched the kids for a moment, she was out of earshot of their conversation as she turned to look at Diane and approached her once more seeing that she was doing a little bit of cleaning. "Need some help?" Kaitlyn asked as she stood by looking at the older woman and smiled slightly looking over at AJ. "How are you and AJ holding up by the way?" She asked making some small conversation with the older woman trying to get to know her better.

Maria looked over at Sienna as she approached her and gave her a smile and nodded, happy to partner up with someone at least. "Hopefully the thing works we can maybe use the light in someway to get help." Maria said. "What about you?" She asked her, Jeb watched as the group started to all partner up before giving out tasks. "June and Billie, go to the top of the lighthouse and check to see if the light is still intact, if it is and the power still works we should be able to use it." Jeb said as he turned to look at Maria and Sienna who both partnered up by the looks of it.

Maria and Sienna theres a basement down there that should have the power box, see what it runs on, if it runs on gas we could use some of the fuel we have to power this place." Jeb suggested as he looked at the others. "The rest of you search the rest of the place, any food, supplies or even basic tools will work." Jeb said as the rest of the group nodded and went about their tasks.

"I guess thats our task." Maria said looking towards Sienna as she moved around the outside of the building, until she could see the basement and went to try the door, as she tried to check the door it was locked, she tried to push the door open with her shoulder but there wasn't much that she could do. Then she spotted a crowbar nearby and reached for it, and jammed it into the door, using all of her strength before opening the door breaking the lock. "After you milady." Maria said to Sienna giving her a slight smile as she reached for her flashlight and turned it on shining it through the dark room.
