Anyway; does anyone else have any ideas on how to get this group more active? Any events, polls, messages -- stuff to get people interested again and to revive our slumps. Think fun.

I approve! I think it's an excellent idea. As long as it's handled (by that I mean led) by a mod so it doesn't take an inappropriate tone, I think it would be great. Preferably, I would imagine most of the mods being present in the thread while it's happening to keep an eye on things from the inside to balance things in the rp. In case people decide to take things into their own hands, we can have mod characters to take things over so we don't have to completely stop role-play. ;)
As for fun things to get people active...
I can't claim to be very creative, but we could try a variety of tactics. We need to appeal to all sides of the group.
One: As always, there are visual artists, and writers. We could create an alternate challenge topic in which prompts are given by mods every now and then to inspire either ficlets or visual art that may help the group evolve? Basically asking group members their opinions on areas we have plot holes and asking them to fill it with their creativity using fanfiction/fanart/basic discussion.
Two: Play the fates. This worked really well last time I saw it used. The idea is we have people submit their names and their character's names into a fate-pairing list. After we get so many we pair them up together based on either random grab or analytical curiosity as role-play partners with designated threads. The partnership lasts as long as they want, but it's a good way to get people to break any ice.
Three: Awards. Any kind of award, really. Examples - most descriptive, most active, most curtious, etc.
Four: Prediction Topic. Open up a topic for people to discuss the course of the role-play, and maybe how it'll evolve.
We could also send out polls on different characters and positions and activity... Those are my thoughts off the top of my head, anyway. :)

Let's face it: I'm secretly a twelve year old.
But good afternoon, e'erybodyyyyy!
YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy birthday to Fred! Lots of love from you mummy, daddy and all your friends and family and Cbeebies!

Ugh nevermind. It was a reference to Birthday time on Cbeebies, a channel of shows for babies and toddlers formed by BBC that my sister watches.

As Tara has been extremely inactive and has yet to reply to any of our messages, I think we should create our own version of the sequel group and send an invitation to join. And as soon as she does, someone will dub her as mod and tell her what exactly hapened and why we did the things we did.
I feel that by the time Tara has free time to come back on the site, read all the messages, and finally mod us back in Redemption, everyone would have been peeved by the wait and this group would be as dead as a doornail. As rude as it will be, I think we can't afford to dilly dally anymore. The constant waiting has practically murdered all my love for the group. I'm sick of it by now. -_-

Also, Sea; if we're doing this, do you mind making up the banner and icon for the group since you're a master with graphics?

Uhm hmm
We're still at the Courtyard, right? Like before the big battle?
What did we decide about the hierarchy of the hunters/what page did we discuss it on?

Uh, we really never sorted that out. We might as well get it done as soon as. Who's at the to of the poll right now?
Only one voted for Vee. I was thinking about vice head hunter but....not happening.
But many inactive characters are voted for and I don't like that. Should I remake the poll with only active ones? Not the ones never used before?

But I loved Ezra! D: I haven't seen her around recently, granted, but still...
DAMMIT SHUIE I WAS GONNA MAKE THAT JOKE
Meh, I know I have to get active with her. I'm trying to decide if I wanna remake her or not.

Teehee.... The manly way XD
Yup! I'm sitting here wondering how we're meant to start a proposal form. My partner seriously puts in no effort. How do you start it? Hello, our names are or go straight into "we have decided to do blah blah blah because....."

Shu: GUYS!!! DX
Haven't you talked to your science teacher about it?

Guys! I'm so sorry I have not replied to anyone! I recently have come back from therapy for depression but I'm back! I just need time to get on my feet.

Journaling, Thinking Processes. It is actually minor depression and semi-severe anxiety but yeah. I was getting panic attacks and my health was not the best.
Oh my God! Tara we all missed ya! Welcome back. Maniac is right. We're all here fo ya...though I'm terrible at therapy... I'll just try make ya laugh :P
Thank you guys! I've missed you all! It's just been so chaotic you know? And don't worry, I don't want you guys on your tippy toes. Just be a little more lenient if I'm not as fast as I usually am.

This will be my pen name when publishing comes around. Does it matter?
I'm at tennis practice and I don't have the ability to add right now. I definitely will when we get home.
Can someone fill me in. I know you guys want to change the appearance, totally reasonable :)
But I need specifics and plans please ^_^
