The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

It lasted through WWII. It'll last through WWIII.

How to keep a roleplay from dying?

However, a lot of times if you develop a core member and something happens, you can't kick them out for not posting in a week. For example, if my ROTC application goes through and I end up doing it, there's a few weeks of initial training in the summer. No way I can do anything with the Internet. Other guys have big boy jobs and school, and are often exhausted yet still influential to the story. This isn't necessarily a loss of interest: and we have had people die off. Their stuff was just turned into NPCs for if they came back.

That's my argument against limits, but to each their own.

I think IRL we can't do that because Geneva.

No, limits are bad. Very bad. PoW has survived for two and a half years and many times we post every like, two months. Last post was 6 days ago. It's still alive and well, breathing and thriving. If you find the right people, they will post. They'll be busy with jobs and school but they'll post. And all of you should be friends. For example, most people in PoW are Steam friends. We play vidya gaems together. We chat and socialize outside the thread. So we have all of these connections that ties people to the RP (and, in our case, we do other RPs together.) So even if nobody posts in two months, the RP is alive.

Getting an RP off the ground.

As someone in an RP that's been around for two and half years and has survived at least two forum migrations, I think it's luck. Just be in the right place at the right time and pick up the right people who'll stay on forever. You develop a loyal core of people, and that keeps the RP going.

Just wait until I go to Colorado in two weeks. Then I'll actually have a reason not to post.

... As We knew It

I'll just make a whole faction worth of dudes with the individual app sheet.

"Pvt. Tom Thompson is the first member of 1st squad, 1st platoon, A company, 1st battalion, 1st brigade, 1st Infantry Division. Pvt. John Summers is the second member of the same."

"People like me."

Jesus, racist. Don't harsh the minority groups like that.

The Courier rebooted is going to be a racist South Carolinian instead of a dude who spent way too much time around Germans. Also, whenever I did posts there I would write dialogue in German and piss everyone off.

And the representative from South Carolina takes the stand.
