hM well

i feel like? the joiners lose muse and. idk why?? for me its more of a personal problem bc i made a character but my muse died like last night bc of my own reasons.

but i do kind of get like... idk. ive never known WHAT to word it as, but i think now, my thing is that it's bland. for me i interpret the lodge as this homey place, but like? when push comes to shove, its greatest feature is the interaction with other characters. with the badlands the appeal is the aggressive nature, while flintlock is the opposite. with flintlock, if you take out all the characters becoming families and etc, its kind of bland. theres nothing to bring new members INTO the family, it takes plotting and time to do that.

i feel like flintlock gets a lot of joiners, but nothing ever happens with them. the current first page has 7 joining threads, and the rest of the threads might be hard to get into or are old threads that are still being rped. i feel like, this might help --
- domestic big events. not big events, just... domestic ones. make it feel homey without having to know the other characters.
- more open threads that are easy to jump into. i counted 6 threads on the first page that i personally would feel is hard to jump into if you're a new member. keep in mind that this is excluding the 7 joining threads. theres 19 threads excluding the guide that i see in general, and 13 threads are hard for joiners to get into. and this excludes old or dead threads, too. my point is it NEEDS open threads that are casual.

uhm OK sorry this got rambly but? i love flintlock and it'd make me really sad if it went like Down . hopefully none of this sounds too harsh askdk. i feel like whats important is that there needs to be a way to keep joiners to stay. my joining thread got like 7 replies, and thats a lot for such a small group. but it didnt keep my interest. the amount of replies isnt everything, y'know? sometimes people just are interested in the character, but the group might feel dull or uninteresting. so do somethin that people don't have to be a long-term members to really participate in something! heck maybe a mass snowball fight. domestic stuff works! it doesnt have to be major group-changing events. askkf i tried to cut myself off in this paragraph but nope OK SORRY FOR RAMBLING THATS ALL

edit;; IM SERIOUSLY SORRY I JUST HAVE A LOT TO SAY BUT
also when i very first joined with my first ever tnw character, the amount of casual open threads that were made canceled out the low activity or lack of posts for me. i rly rly rly rly think that casual threads or threads to post in are important!!
one way to encourage some is weekly tasks? weekly tasks can always rly boost the amount of open threads!!

idk if you have this yet but what i did to keep nd active was basically mentioning in meetings particular threads that needed replies, and eventually they did start to gradually help out. and what ive noticed abt flint is that times when ive tried to join id get 1-2 replies and theyd be really... monotone? like something someone would generally find difficult to reply to bc it gives you nothing to grab on to and address in your own post.

also instead of weekly tasks you could do job postings for rewards. if they dont require interaction with others they could be used as one-shot prompts for ppl to challenge themselves! rewards could vary, but $$ usually gets ppl offering.

speaking of prompts.. maybe monthly challenges for the whole group with a prize at the end? umm like activity challenges for money or hps, or ones centered around one-shots aimed at character development. hecc, you could even get ppl to sign up, and then randomly put them in pairs and encourage them to work on their character's relationships together through 1-on-1 threads, and everyone gets prizes for participating but the most well developed relationship gets an even bigger reward.

I'm at school rn so this isnt the best BUT here you go.

that's some really good advice tysm!! I really like the idea of shouting out threads in the meeting?? I never thought of that, I'll be sure to do some of this stuff asap :00

[BORZOI]

I definitely want group wide plots!! Currently we're kicking off a groupwide illness that will actually be tying into the blizzard and making that even more dangerous in the long run :00 I'm definitely going to be trying to push for more interesting plots as long as we're all leader
Ty for the feedback!

I'm working on making my own activity better, and trying to figure out some more interesting plots we could do, so I'll just track this for now.
