OOC: Why is no one interested in my country?

Honestly, all my attempts at starting RP's have gained minimum (or almost always) no responce what so ever. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Please Tell me.

Here is an example: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82007&start=0 Looks reasonably OK.

Now it could be that some people in that RP didnt get the time to post

edit: as in they had other stuff on their mind in RL

Then why is it that no one has taken much interest?
17-10-2003, 23:48
It's just that there's thousands of threads and it's easy to get over lucked. My first thred or two (as a different nation) got no response at all. People respond more if they recognize the name so getting name recognition by doing stuff in other people's threads is a good idea. I've looked at some of yours and they all seemed interesting but my nation has no ic reason to be involved in any of them yet. Though we might respond to the Christianity being banned thing. I'm folloing it and whether Finara has a reason to get icly involved depends on how it goes.

Maybe

because they didnt like the setting the RP is in?

Offcourse there are ppl who just ignore you because you are(or look) new here.

When I first started RPing here I was ignored mostly, then I got better, my first big break was the war in Neo-Wu, I remember that, good war actualy, I got shooed out by my allies for hitting a power distribution center with a cruise missile.

Are there any good RP's that are not 30 pages long going on and are not Invite-only?

You could always try to help Walten and get Bisons nuked.

Yeah, usually ones that me, Iansisle or Imitora start up are invite free, you can just show up if you want to. We're a pretty good group of RPers and we don't mind when new people show up.

I like your RPs, I'm a personal fan of Dragonlance, as a matter of fact. It's just that I'm very occupied right now. When I have some time to spare, I will join some of your RPs.

OOC: Cool! Note that I only changed one thing, Lord Soth DID stop Beldinas from bringing the wrath of the gods upon Istar and the world and prevented the cataclysm, it is now over 2000 years since Beldinas died and the Crown of Power was taken by Paladine himself for safe keeping until it was needed agian when evil sits on the throne of Istar.

Ishtar, I would love to be involved in the 'christianity being banned' thread.

Only problem is, that my IC response would be to send Inquisitors to your nation and have your leader burned as a witch.
:D

Your threads are, for the most part, fairly well written.

Point taken but at least I know that people do enjoy my work.

I would have also enjoyed entering the Ban on Christianity RP... But there's just no way for my nation to fit in it...
