Nope. I thought it rather unusual at the time. Everyone, please double check the email address you're sending to. |
Senior Editor Posts: 2299 Joined: 9 Jan 2007 | Well, folks, today will mark the final installment of RP Digest, at least for the time being. We only received two submissions this past week, so it just isn't catching on the way we had hoped. I'm open to suggestions as to how we might revive or improve RPD. |

advertisements, random rants, previews of games, reviews of games, interviews, top 100 games voted by the public, the list could go on... |

Many of those are great ideas, but we've consistently had trouble getting anyone to contribute. If they can't get it together enough to submit 100 words, can we really expect them to regularly submit anything at all? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2142 Joined: 23 Jan 2008    | Nope. There's no reward in it to destroy laziness, unless the GM is in need of more players. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1215 Joined: 22 Apr 2008   | I've submitted whenever I could, though I did miss a few weeks. I thought it was a good experiment: thus far it's gotten me one player who expressed interest in my RP because of what they read in the Digest, so I consider it worth the effort. I'd hate to see it stop. |

What we need is more people who like RPs in general. If we got more traffic than the 30-40 or so regulars that come to this section, then things wouldn't be so slow, and the RP Digest wouldn't be threatened. All in all, I blame school, jobs, and the lack of crazies we have. |

Sorry Prototypes hasn't had updates. The RP is running slow, and there isn't much I haven't already done to do about it. I'm not sure what to do really. Hopefully it will pick up, but otherwise, I won't be able to do much. The RP Recession has hit everything pretty hard. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1215 Joined: 22 Apr 2008 | A place to post advertisements for RPs would be awesome. I made a poster for my RP a while ago, and posted it in the art thread because I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it (it's the third one in the linked post). Dunno if it would get many more submissions than that, but it would be cool. |

well if you get a select few to do reviews and stuff, sure it'd be more a monthly basis , but wouldn't the quality be better? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4962 Joined: 22 Feb 2009 |
As a side note, I'd happily help with any of that. I'm a sucker for helping out. And, rejoice! Portal, AE and I may have fixed the RP Recession! I don't care what you say Samuel, it exists! It's real! |

I know it does, but it's as normal as the tides! ..Who are pretty damn weird, so bad example. Hay! Are you talking about that entire Bank-NYPD bangbang thing? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4962 Joined: 22 Feb 2009 |
Indeed I am Samuel! Indeed I am! Book your places early folks! |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 12361 Joined: 16 Jan 2009 | Awww...... Was I the only one who sent Susan a submission this time? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2343 Joined: 1 Jul 2008    | What? I thought there wasn't one this week! If I'd known I would have had one up for Surge. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1215 Joined: 22 Apr 2008 |
Susan said they were discontinuing it, so I didn't send one in. If I'd thought there was going to be one this week, I would have written something up (though not much has happened in my RP...). |

I love not being told things. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4962 Joined: 22 Feb 2009 |
Ta-da! |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 12361 Joined: 16 Jan 2009 |
Oh, stop being a smartass. I guess I'll just oogle at my now-unique badge. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 758 Joined: 20 May 2009     | Darn it, I just started my own RP and now no RP digest! Why have I been forsaken! |

Same here! Oh well, maybe the recession will go away and people will start submitting more, hell, maybe my(and Mookie_Magnus) own RP will kickstart a new era in RPing *puffs chest* |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4962 Joined: 22 Feb 2009 |
Not to worry, Portal. I will save us! Oh, and AE wants to make sure she gets mentioned as a savior |
On the Record Posts: 5548 Joined: 16 Dec 2008 |
And we shall help with the recession ending with mine and Magnus's new RP! Shameful advertising goes here The Castle! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3973 Joined: 17 Jan 2009  | I've been so very tempted to write up a piece for Project Genesis, but I haven't found the time. If this is back up and running by the time my Viking RP starts, you can expect an entry from me every single week. |
On the Record Posts: 5548 Joined: 16 Dec 2008 |
I hope it starts up again also! I would definitely submit an entry every week for my RP and I am disappointed it has ended. It wasn't really the fault of the GMs though, the posting was so non-existent for a while, it would have been almost impossible to write a summary. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1734 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 | I too again return to write summaries. If all GM's here make a pledge, I think we could have a resurrection. I ask you all will you write a summary this week, and if we have enough maybe Susan will begin the RP digest again. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 758 Joined: 20 May 2009 | Maybe if we made the Digest update every 2 weeks instead of one we could get more per week.
Sounds good I'll write a summary for the Vanguard. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2178 Joined: 9 Apr 2009   |
Sounds good, I'll scribble down something for A Shadow in the Void... |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 521 Joined: 6 May 2009    |
Pledge'd. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2343 Joined: 1 Jul 2008 | Hells yeh. Expect a digest for Surge. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4962 Joined: 22 Feb 2009 | Ahhh, what the hell. I'm sure I can take five minutes to whip up a quick digest :) |
On the Record Posts: 5548 Joined: 16 Dec 2008 |
OH ITS ON!! |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 12361 Joined: 16 Jan 2009 | Assuming this does work to revive the Digest, just use my last submission Susan. Nothing else has happened :( |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 758 Joined: 20 May 2009 | So who should we send our submissions to for next week? |
