We've been open for six weeks, though the last few have been admittedly slow along with a few unexpected cast changes if you will.
We've added a few new players and lost some too. We've added new characters and more than named one of Javos' previously unnamed moons. We've ploted and conspired, went out on limbs and kicked the dirt with uncertainty; here we are, six weeks later alive even if at a high idle.
I ask our players to engage one another, even if on the boards at first.
I ask that they inquire of RPers they think might enjoy this genre, idea or environment, to come apply.
I ask that players help prospecting players intertwine histories of characters for easier onboarding IC.
I ask that you post logs, even if you keep it all black and only add a space between characters for easier reading.
I ask that you be frank with me if you think I'm over stepping with you or anyone else.
I ask that you only contribute and invest in the things you enjoy or that at least won't ruin your enjoyment here.
Most important of all, I ask that you HAVE FUN and hopefully RP a variety of plots and stories doing it.

Rem's blurb to the players...
No one player can do everything, but every player can do something. Some may barely just tolerate this message board thing (ie only use it because it's the foundation of the SL and how it works) and would much rather just RP than read or write a bunch of replies here. There is nothing wrong with that and to those players I say.. just play. Seriously, make that your volunteer contribution, RPing, helping to set up RP scenes, tossing in RP curve balls whilst we play. Things like that, things that you can do on the fly and require little effort more than maybe an IM and a few posts geared to the whole group.
Some players may really like this Message Board stuff, setting up threads of information, editing and/or finding pictures etc. In which case, yeah, make that your add to the group and if you have time and inspiration to do this and something else, please do! If you're on enough and you enjoy reading the applications and inquiring about the characters or players, then pitch in there as your strong hold. Do a little of a few things or focus on one, which ever and whatever fits you best and still helps to progress our SL. Yep, our SL. Not mine, not yours, ours. So don't be abashed to speak your piece or post polls to ask players about things you think about.
I'm not asking nor is it mandatory you officially volunteer for anything. I am simply asking that those who may be unsure about what or how much they can contribute to give us what you want to, what you can, what you're inspired to. Annnndd if you're not inspired maybe one of us will be able to fix that as we go or if you have suggestions. I'm here to help though I don't promise to be sweet about much of anything, it's not my strong suit and that might be a cop-out but it's easier than making things too complicated. lol So, simply put tell me if I'm being an ass and please be understanding that somethings I don't balance as well and I'm trying to improve on that so it doesn't sour the experience of RPing or engaging with me.
Anyroad, enough rambling, I look forward to catching some play, please don't be afraid to ask and I'm sorry if I decline and make you not want to ask me anymore. I'm personally still working on the IMing and asking people for RP.
