Did everything die or something?
« on: 10 Sep 2011, 17:17 »

Or is it just me? RP community is very quiet. Summit is endlessly Amarr...what's going on? Was it the summer, if I'm just being paranoid?

Summit is not endlessly amarr. There's a good dose of all four races in there, but only the Amarr seem to be stirring up trouble lately. Mostly because none of the other factions are bringing their RP into the summit.

There do seem to be a lot of Amarr around lately, though I think it also has to do with a lot of some of the "other faction" RPers dropping off, at least from the public view - I feel like I used to regularly see a lot more faces from various factions other than Amarr, e.g., other EM, U'K, and a couple FW types from Minmatar, LDIS, CAIN, and FT-K from Caldari, Mixed Metaphor and others from Gal, etc etc... Even pirate factions seem to have shrunken; CR-SE and Blood Inquisition have left the Blooder side, Anshar Inc. from Serps, etc...

Now I see the same few dozen people, and while I don't <3 you all any less for it, I definitely feel like there were many more faces a while back.

LDIS bought FT-K many moons ago (maybe close to 2 years), are trying to build relationships with some RP-lite/local corporations, and going through some growing pains.

CAIN is busy with their 0.0 space and has not been particularly active in on IGS for a long time.  Van Cleef occasional makes an appearance on IGS when he thinks there is some activity they are doing worth mentioning.

We also have done a lot of :bash: over the years and are not interested in rehashing the same conversations again.

Wel for Katrina's part, she's attempting to foster friendly relations with LDIS by flying with them, ordering from them, etc. She wants to see LDIS and I-RED grow a bit closer.

The Summit or the RP community in general?

Amarr/Minmatar have always been the most predominate groups around, but I could see how it seems some others have decreased a bit. The Summit I have not really noticed a strong Amarr presence (it may be your time zone), if anything its mostly been e-RP lite when I've bothered to look. Rather disconcerting, actually.

I'm personally working on seeing if I can post more on the IGS, although how that'll go remains to be seen.

I keep an eye on the summit most of the times, but, well, it's... ah not always that interesting or tempting for me to chime in lately. Also I'm pretty much tied up in corp business and closer relations at the moment.

Yes, I should have clarified - my post was meant to reflect the RP community as a whole, judged by who I had common interactions with anywhere - Summit, IGS, Barpee, semi-private arcs, etc. This is, of course, a horribly skewed measure, but I'm not sure of any other way to measure it. :P

I don't really consider myself an active role-playing participant beyond writing race reports, but I will say that I'm feeling rather lethargic about engaging in eve-RP. The summit can be fun but its not really my thing. Done more than my share of BAR RP, so that's not really a big motivator for me either. If I wasn't for the Racing League I'd probably have cancelled my sub months ago.

Yes, not very my type either for the Summit. I am occasionally active when I see discussions that I find interesting to my tastes and to which my character would actually reply. Discussion more suited to the NEA btw.

NB : OMG Seri I WANT A SIMILAR PIC.


Well, it's full of Amarr....

Yes, the new liberal amarr imperialism is all powerful and omnipresent compared to the gallente liberalism. \o/

Tempted to make a JC Denton avatar with the notorious What a shame.

We should use the NEA more often, I mean, it's not used for its original purpose anymore, so we might actually use it for things like political discussion. Also I'd rather have Des get the raging about Inhonores's opinions than talk about what a lovely sandvhich she ate earlier. ;)

PS: What a shame that no one used that as an avatar already. There must be something we can do...

I've noticed the RP community has been quiet for a while now.

Probably due to a lack of advancement in storyline. Sadly this will be the case until the overlords at CCP decide they want to develop the game a little more and give the storyline guys something to work with.
