Once again it appears that the site activity has dropped. I'm not quite sure what to do about this problem. If anyone has any suggestions post them here. We can't let the site fall.

I couldn't get on the last couple days, but I'm back now. . . obviously. . . anyway, Lya has me rp blocked until she responds to Claudius. As for Heraclea, I'll think of something for her to do.

Well, as always if you are RP blocked there are a few things you can do: • Delete your post and pretend you never got into a conversation with the character • Make up some excuse for your character to depart from the other character • Spam the person with messages until they show up and post ( ) The above are useful to help keep a site running when someone else's absence halts roleplay.

It's fine, I was just talking about site activity in general. We need something that makes people want to get on. It's not that people are busy, it's that nothing interesting is going on and therefore members have no incentive to come online.

we really can't do much. All we can do i regrow and heal from the war. Vilk can't do much till his leg heals, and even then his eye won't heal, but that was planned.

If you see random people running around, it's cause I advertised a little on a dying site and they needed a place to go.

Ok, I'd just like to apologize. I know I haven't rped lately or anything (even if im not a major rp role, it would still help the site out) and I'm sorry I haven't been on lately or been posting. I'm gonna try to get actively rp-ing now to my best ability and stop being a lazy butt.

Ok guys, the alternative is shutting this place down. I don't see any other options. I think the issue is that we like to hang out more than RP. I know a great site where we all just hang out and RP here and there, perhaps I'll link it. To be frank, we RP in short bursts then fall inactive again. That isn't quite fair to those who really want to RP. I'll give it a while longer- and I know I'm not the sole person in charge of this forum, but I think Scorch and Kit would probably agree that were going no where fast.

In my experience, that's sort of how rp works. Really, that's how most stories work. There's a build up, a climax and then things settle down. Then to keep the story going there's another build up that leads to a climax that eventually is resolved. Right now we're simply at a point where things have settled and we need to get to a point where things are building up again, but the problem is our characters need rest. We're supposed to be a realistic role play and therefore have deal with time as a factor in our rping. Our characters can't have a war one day and then wake up the next ready to attack again. Plus, two of our main characters are young pups. They have to still think and behave like pups even while all this is going on. We can't have them grow up too fast or then there's no point in rping pups. We could try to include a subplot somewhere like, idk, there's an infestation of raccoons in the forest and they might be carrying some sort of disease. That might be a good plot to throw at Lycaon to get people to rp their Lycaon characters more and become more familiar with them so that there is less bias towards Kylarad. Meanwhile Kylarad can continue to lick their wounds and work up a battle strategy and the pups can grow up a little.
Also, I think I'm going to have Claudius be a Lycaon wolf. He might help even out the insanity over there.

Good point. For a subplot, does anyone have a great idea, or shall we go with raccoons.
Don't get me wrong sunny I don't want to see this place die. (Saturday: Posts that site might fall. Sunday: lots of new posts in RP. Me: ...LOL.)

Yeah. . . I kinda went on a rping rampage earlier ^_^' had to get Claudius in here some how.
As for subplots, I will not be offended if you don't want to do the raccoon thing. It was just the first thing I thought of.

The thing I've noticed is that as the leaders of the site fade, so does the site. Alley cats faded around the same time Blue did, Waya died when Ad vanished. Lya hasn't been on much, and Kylarad is loosing activity. Sunny and Jagoo are on HG, so it hasn't died. I think the amount of activity falls onto the shoulders of those running the site. Just an observation i made. Take its meaning to be whatever, because i don't know it.

No, that's perfectly reasonable and I agree. I think if you really want to run a forum you should be able to handle it. I'm not sure what's up with Lya- Ahava blasted off with Team Rocket. I don't have full permissions here either, so I can't exactly fix certain things.
