Game Discussion
Dearest marinanites.

As some of you might've noticed, the pace of Marina Nova has changed over the past year or so. We've gotten smaller and slower. Our newbiedays aren't the parade of fresh faces as it used to be and our mistletoe mingles no longer break the comment limit. In addition to this, both of your mods went and got themselves busier offline lives which, to be quite honest, is terribly rude but probably also inevitable.

Because of these changes, we thought it was time to sit you down and have a chat.

We would like to hear your thoughts on the game. Where you'd like to see it go and what changes you want to see. What would make it easier for you to be more active? What would make it smoother for new people to come in? Marina has always been built on player participation — how can we make this more accessible to you? Do you want to keep the game the way it is, or is it time to downsize it?

We're eager to hear your thoughts and have an honest, open discussion about the future of the game. One thing is certain — this isn't ending, only changing.

I feel like everyone else posted everything I was going to say. Also I moved on Saturday and nothing is working and I'm exhausted and sitting here watching the dude fix my shower because I have no hot water and I haven't bathed since Friday so I'm low on coherency. You get bullet points.

• 1 week = 1 day A+ don't change a thing
• I have always thought you guys do a fantastic job with events. There's generally at least one big event/mingle a month, they are always fun and creative and they do a great job of getting characters to meet each other and new characters to get involved. You guys handle this better than any other game I've participated in and it was what sold me when I got here.
• Getting new people is always hard. I have no solutions. I'm so tired.
• it can be a little intimidating joining a new game. I know when I first started here (Jesus like 2 years ago wow) it took me a month or two to feel like I was actually a part of the game and not just an awkward new kid. I think most of that was because Anna and Al and I all came in together and we'd been in games before (Anna legit is this our 4th game with them? Wow.) so I was naturally inclined to stick with them a bit. Once I branched out obviously everything was wonderful and I love you all. Again, this may just have been because I joined under weird friendship circumstances.
• this maintenance guy is taking apart my entire dryer. It's all in my kitchen now. Let me escape this apartment hell for imaginary underwater city nonsense thank you.
• oh god my dryer

	I posted everything from a laundromat last night. The dryer broke while in use and my inner Ianto cried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hugs you I think this is actually our fifth game, if you count our move to IJ as a separate one! Though three out of the five were continuations of each other. But yeah, that still makes three separate storylines, and it means we've been playing with each other continuously for over four years now. :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)

He brought me a whole new dryer and fixed my water and I showered. Everything has been wrong with this apartment. I literally went to the leasing office to try and turn in the list of problems and started bawling when I handed it to the leasing guy who it turns out started like last week and was visibly like OH SHIT HOW DO I HANDLE THIS? Also I told the maintenance guy how the bedroom was freezing and something was wrong and I was miserable and he solved by closing the windows, which, it turns out, were wide open. THIS HAS BEEN MY DAY.

	Oh my god that sounds like a nightmare. But your points are all on target with mine and might be even more coherant than mine. (Reply to this) (Parent)
