Where is the RP? I have made 12 unreplied posts in my new RP thread, i dont even think anybody has glimpsed at it. I waste my time making up RPs and writing them out for nothing.

seriously back in the day of Pedaphiliac, RPs were great, so much controversy. Now it takes 2 days for someone to reply to my RP.

Perhaps you should work on building areputation before starting your own story thread. The first thing most players do is read the title. If it catches their eye, they'll take a look at the nation that started the thread to check the founding date. Newcomers will have to work hard to overcome the horrible reputation painfully built by every n00kslinging n00b over the past year.

Try posting into some of the open RP threads and get other people interested in your country. Soon you'll be getting invitaions to join other threads, and people will start watching for your country on the forums. You may be the best writer since Hemingway, but you need to earn a rep before most players will believe it.

Perhaps you should also pay attention to the message.

Note that I never called you a n00b, nor even implied it. I stated a known fact: n00bs have screwed things up for all new nations- deserved or otherwise.

I have no idea what nation you originally started with, nor does it matter much. As far as anyone can tell, your nation is brand new. Most threads by brand new nations get overlooked as soon as the founding date is seen. One solution to this problem is the one I outlined in my previous post.

Maybe the suggestion wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's a good suggestion. Try taking it in the polite spirit in which it was offered in lieu of making unprovoked snide remarks- since you did ask a question in the title and your first post.

And I, in turn, apologize for any unintended condescending tone.

I read your RP, and enjoyed it. Your pics were interesting, the captions as well.

I'm not sure where I would fit in, as Horror(?) RP's aren't really my strong suit. Overlord is right when he says most people will look at your founding date and just blow you off from there, but not everyone. I read as many RP's as I can, and judge people by thier ability, because alot of old nations are idiots, and alot of new ones are quality. *shrugs* Like I said, not sure where I would fit into this RP, but keep kicking ass. If you get things started, people will flock to you.

alot of the new ones are quality.

Judging by the number of clueless idiots I have seen in proportion to those who are capable of comprehending roleplay, your statement is wrong.

I'll admit that the quality of RPers has dropped, but keep your eyes open. There are a few 'Autumn' nations that have promise.

Indeed, after all, new shouldn't necessarily mean ignorant.

People are taking time to reply to the useless posts to get the mods attention, but know one bothers to even comment on other peoples storefronts or RP's.
