Hey, mods. Would there be any chance to reconsider establishing some kind of real network? The note system is neat and I can see the potential, but it hasn't been put to use ( plus I don't even know if the characters are ICly aware of it). I've spoken with a few others, and apparently there are also those who love the idea of the game, but are turned off from actually apping in because of how heavily log-based it is. The game has been open for almost a month, now, but honestly still feels incredibly slow. I feel things would really pick up if a network were brought in (maybe it could be something The Witch decided to do, to keep better track of everyone?), not to mention put more life into the game during the downtime between plot things such as the intro mingles, events, and the various tiered challenges.

That, or perhaps we could try to emphasize note-passing, bulletin board posts, and encourage others to try that way of networking as well. I think this could optimize the adorable potential of this game, as a whole; it'd bring the community together more, as I know some people who find logs intimidating at first.

And just replying to this one to make sure you don't miss it: if you have suggestions for how we'd encourage others to make use of the bulletin board, we'd be very happy to hear them! We don't want to become a network-reliant game as tends to happen with the introduction of networks, but we don't want anyone to be intimidated by heavy amount of logs, either.

Oh my yes, I would love to make suggestions!

Maybe things like odd-jobs postings and "help wanted" ads people can reply to, petitions against and for certain things would be hilarious too. Also, pen-pal events could be pretty adorable too. Pair random as hell people up like a Secret Santa event without presents, have them send letters to each other, maybe because a particular spirit or two feel neglected as postmen and want to feel validated by deliveries...

20 questions type games could be fun as well, even little things such as anonymous riddles and the like; I'll definitely be trying some things on the network to make it fun, too!

These are all way too adorable; definitely consider them taken into consideration! We'll be doing our best to implement things like this to make the network more appealing to use.

Awesome! Thanks so much, darlings. <3

A network isn't out of the question for the future, but for the time being we would prefer to be a game that emphasizes face-to-face interaction, hence the limited network - the logs don't necessarily have to be prose-heavy or wordy, so long as they're face to face.

But you and Anon above me are definitely right to say that logs can be sort of intimidating! We'll be working on thinking of a way that we could encourage others to actually make use of the bulletin board system; if you have any suggestions for that, we'd be very happy to hear them.

That makes sense. I'll definitely hit this up again, too, if I come up with any ideas. Thanks for such a speedy reply.
