NEW + OPEN DISCUSSION

[tripled_mods]

Hey everyone! First of all, I've got some great news! We finally have a PREMISE PAGE! This will help all members, new and current, to describe what the game is about. Enabling will be easier and figuring out just what we do here will as well. (I know that was something a lot of people asked when first thinking about joining the game-- I get asked it all the time, so hopefully this will help everyone out!)

SECONDLY and very important, the moderators would like to launch an open discussion about methods to help make the game more accessible, bring in new players, and improve the game overall. Anon comments will be enabled so long as there is no harassment of other players. Please use this post to give suggestions, things you would like to see in the game, current problems with the game itself that you would like to bring up, or anything else you can think of related to these purposes. Bear in mind that this is for constructive purposes! If you have a comment, make sure to provide a possible solution or improvement that you would like to see.

THIS DISCUSSION IS OPEN TO ANY WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE: MEMBERS AND POTENTIAL MEMBERS ALIKE.

( A Note: This is not a complaint, love, or HMD post for specific players, as usual please use the suggestions/complaints page or wait until the next HMD if you have a situation that you need to bring up with another player. )

I really like the idea of a more frequent test drive, too. I know they wouldn't be as big but timing can affect a lot of things and having fun threads with characters already in the game may be the final push someone needs to finally join. It could also help people get those 20 comments they need to finish an app sometimes, as more obscure characters are harder to get tags with on D_M.

Also, this may have been asked before on one of the other things, I don't really remember, but what happened to the NPCs DDD use to have? I remember hearing about the Weeping Angels when I first joined and really liked the idea of characters that could just pop up like that. ^_^ I know time constraints can make those hard, though.

I NPC'd the Weeping Angels after our first player left in 2008 or so! I gradually stopped playing them because no one really seemed interested, but if that's changed I'd be happy to pull them out again.

^_^ I can't speak for everybody but I'm interested in it. I really like the virus but the NPCs are chances for personalized, unpredictable encounters.

I'm seconding this, plus maybe a couple more NPCs that could provide more side stuff to do in the game besides the viruses/events!

Tay just really likes me so she agrees so I'll like her back. It's kind of embarrassing sometimes.

(I love you Tay)

^_^ Thanks Tay. Good to be back.

Also, I do agree a few NPCs would be best, if you have the time for it. The WA were just the ones I remember.
