I think Exsilly is actually one of the friendliest, maybe the friendliest, LJ/DW RPs I've ever been in.
Full disclosure, I agree with the anon who said there isn't enough going on in this game. I also agree with the anons who wanted the apps unscreened or some way to see what apps had been submitted. I am not going to say this game is perfect.
BUT
- it is really, really friendly - the head mod (Haley) is really, really open to improvement and also really friendly - the other mod and helper mod are pretty inactive which has not helped, idk whether they are going to step up and help (one of them is Haley's gf, I doubt it would be easy to fire your gf from a mod team) but I do know that already Haley has posted a call for people to submit apps for a plot mod and a helper mod position - Gonsai is none of the above people, is not even in the game, and aside from this thread in rpanons this weekend the only time I see Exsilly show up in anoncomms is when people joke that Gonsai is the mod. It was funny for about 20 minutes and since then has gotten very stale. - the setting is really detailed and as a result of this rpanons thread an Exsilium wiki is now starting so that players have a better sense of what is around to be worked with - the OCs are the best thing about this game. No Mary Sues looking for love. Instead we have crazy manticores and juicebox-happy superpowered kids - the players are another best thing about this game. Friend some of them on plurk when you join, they are very open to CR and willing to take crit
So yes this is not a perfect game and it is having some serious growing pains. But it's well worth giving a shot.
