Anything you think could be tweaked or added? I'm open to anything. Still waiting on two profiles from two peeps, but I'm struggling to entice at least one more person. We can chatter here or you can PM me.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, it's probably a little late at this point, but I think it helps to ask for character applications to be posted in the recruitment thread instead of via pm. That causes the thread to be bumped more often and might convince people who are on the fence to check it out--lots of activity implies the game is more likely to get off the ground. It would also allow people to read about the existing characters--I know if I see a game where there are a number of strong characters already accepted that makes me more interested. Granted, potential applicants can follow the link to the character thread now, but they might not think to.<br/><br/>As for why I applied, that's fairly straightforward. I like the setting and subject matter, there were no excessive spelling or grammatical errors (if the thread's subject is misspelled I never check it), and solid info on the setting is provided that gets straight to the point. I consider it a warning sign if the initial post(s) in the recruitment thread by the GM are really brief--that implies they are not willing to put the effort in to keep the game going. It's also bad if it's filled with extraneous details and takes forever to read--that makes me think the GM is so in love with his or her setting and NPCs that my character will be extraneous to the story.
