<div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>State of the Role-play Address</strong></span></div><br/>Hello.<br/><br/>I'm in managing and reading mode tonight. There are some people who need partners. I just want to say that this is one of those rare group role-plays that will work better with many players. As long as people have partners that work for them and can integrate themselves into the setting in a way that they can enjoy. Players can even post independently if their posts are working towards  something. I'm liking much of what I'm seeing.<br/><br/>We have a shortage of victims, I'd like to see some more agent characters overtly invade the island so they can be captured and played with.  >:) The undercover agents who are playing it safe won't be discovered until they start arousing suspicion, and those playing them are trying not to be discovered so they are not immediately available as victims. It is possible they might even decide to leave the island before being discovered.<br/><br/>All players, if you have a friend that might make a character to join you in this environment they will be welcome. I notice that while it is fairly easy to get players for a role play it is sometimes hard to recruit while the role-play is underway. The section of this role play may make that task more difficult. But I can not overemphasize how much I want more people in this world. That said, family members will have tougher requirements because of their nature in leading the role play and because we are short on victims. Though I will make some victim NPC's if I can get more players in this section soon..<br/><br/>I'm also going to look for pairings or people that should interact. No pairing is necessarily permanent but I may contact some of you suggesting meetings now and then. It is an Island after all.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Jated- I might make an NPC for Mikel shortly if we can't find someone.<br/><br/>
