Then, um, do that? (@Merlin)

I never said, 'go out and recruit as many people as possible and put them into forced RP slave labour camps' (I feel I've got an RP coming along...). I just noted that I have never seen any kind of attempt to attract new interest. And now you're wondering why it's dying a slow death?

EDIT: Dragonheart got in.

Gravis' attempt actually contradicts what I just said, admittedly. As to why he failed, I'm not sure. I never really bothered to read all he had to say; it seemed terribly elaborate from my perspective.

In terms of attempting a Recruit Round 2, I'd suggest start small. It seemed Gravis wanted to create everything from nothing. Small, as in, gently ease some new blood into the fold. They won't be great, and they probably won't be into posting at great length, but that's certainly better than not posting at all. They say a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step; usually that means that there's no point staring at a task, and to just get on and do it. I'd suggest that it can also be seen as a recommendation to not be overly ambitious (like, starting with a step, not a jump... actually I should've just said 'you have to crawl before you can walk').

Don't ask me for anything more specific than that.

IDK about genres, but I wouldn't mind more casual RPs. I remember someone at the beginning of this thread stating that a poor, unfinished RP has around 50 posts, and the best 200+. From my perspective, that's incredibly daunting. I understand you want quality RPers, but you won't get those unless you have a sub-continent worth of mediocre RPers in the mix, and this means RPs that are not so incredibly intricate that they serve to frighten the inexperienced.
