The good news is everyone passed!



The bad news is... there are a whopping eleven of you. And we got a whopping three reserves, all of whom are current or previous players. And the TDM was pretty dead. And if we don't get more players, I'm not sure the game is going to be able to sustain itself. As it is, the first event had very little activity--and that's not anyone's fault, there's just too few of us right now for anything to have very much momentum. We have a lot of cool ideas for future events, but those ideas will be pretty impossible to enact with barely a dozen characters. So... tell your friends? Enable where you can? If we can't increase the character number by at least fifty percent, we're likely going to have to just close up shop, because we're simply too small for anything to actually get accomplished.

That said, we're aware that the first event wasn't terribly exciting, but again, it's hard to really stage a daring situation with so few characters. We wanted to give you guys an idea of how events would be run and give you something simple to ease into the premise and setting and general SOP, and to do it in a way that wouldn't suffer for how few we are. Sadly it kind of suffered anyway. We'll be doing an HMD soon, provided we get enough applications for the game to continue, but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, please don't hesitate to leave them here. Thanks!

My big suggestion?

Open apps now. No month closed, week open. We're slow enough and small enough that it couldn't hurt. When we get more interest, then we can go into scheduled apps and reserves, but to start off it should be open. (OPEN THE COUNTRY. STOP HAVING IT BE CLOSED.)

We also need to do more advertising. I saw our ad on RPS, but there needs to be more. Maybe even cross-platform ads, like to IJ, maybe even Tumblr. (Last resort on tumblr lol)

Just my .02¢

I agree with having apps open more permanently at the beginning to get the core playerbase in.
