Throne Room Improvements

[/Bean\]

Tons of people wanted to join Johnhughtmon's interactive Romani AAR, but we have so few players in BtSH we're barely on a skeleton crew. I have already mentioned BtSH in his thread and don't wish to post in there again, thus clogging up his game. But I don't understand why...

Where is that hosted?

I think the main thing we need to improve is player commitment. Recruitment is always nice of course, but without a solid base of support, the game just isn't the same. I watched as BtSH went from extremely active (easily the most active subforum in the TR) to pretty much a minor entity in the span of a month. Its active membership is a fraction of what it once was, which can definitely account for most of the dropoff in activity.

Of course, a solution on how to fix this is another thing. All I'm saying is that games are more memorable if the players involved stay so until the bitter end.

I think the place is fine as it is, but if you're looking to boost activity/interest maybe consider running some kind of contest? Offering something as simple as a forum tag or some addition to a person's signature can be surprisingly motivating for forumites.

How about some sort of group sig? It could say something like "Do you like Total War games? Do you like history? Do you like role-playing? If so get over to The Throne Room for much goodness" (or something less daft). If most Throne Room goers had it it may be effective. It would need a nice shiny picture of course.

ya amen to that. I am not sure where things went wrong. I lost one guy to breaking forum rules, two guys simply disappeared, and then i have 2 players who came all excited posted a few times and in a flash...gone. Donno why people do that. If you cant stay active then why join in the first place it just pisses me off, makes me do a lot of unnecessary work in my library and what not.
