Hi!
Long time browser, first time poster.
So I have a problem. I've run a few games on GJ and IJ over the years. The last open game I ran was The Field, which closed in September of '09. Now that I am done with college and I'm revisiting the game (you may have seen me spamming the ads like crazy), I'm a little bit lost. I fell out of touch with many of my writing friends while in school. They moved on to bigger and better things. But that's ok! I am keen to meet new people!
So the new iteration of the game, The Field: Abandoned Oasis, has been open for a week and a half. I've been advertising like crazy and chasing down my little black book of RPers, and I've had a single app. Just one!
Despite telling myself to buck up, I am a sad panda. So I ask you, wise mods of the interweb - what am I doing wrong? I have a different concept from what seems to be "out there," I have a flexible game, no PB bans, interactive setting, and heaps of willingness to work with people. I've been advertising like a wild thing but I'm starting to worry that I may be flooding, and I ought to scale it back.
Have any of you been in this situation before? How have you handled it?
