I'm new this year too. The game is very friendly and welcoming. The plot is hard for newer players to get a grip on, but that's true of any long running game.

Has the game always been this slow? I'm one of a few newer players who I know of who have a hard time making AC. Even though the 4 threads thing helps, and so does the ability to use a thread started in a previous month, the fact that most events start later in the month doesn't. I see older players boomeranging established CR, but the same players don't usually tag newer players as quickly.

Ideas? Reliable taggers to recommend? It seems like AC is working out fine for most people, so suggesting changes to the mods doesn't seem right. The current event might be an attempt improve this situation, but the groups are so small that I don't know how it's going to go.

i've noticed the game's been a bit slower than usual in the last couple months. a lot of players have been having a rough summer, so that could have something to do with it?

as far as reliable taggers go, i've had great luck with our new peter parker, our connor/lance player, and our george/margaery/etc. player. our tucker/michael player is solid too but she's on hiatus for the rest of the month i think. law, caedra, and maeve are reliable, too.

there's also a lot of players that are reliable if a little slow for various reasons? that tends to be the running theme with hadriel. lots of medium/slow taggers, but they'll backtag into infinity. i know that's not comforting to some players who prefer a quicker pace though, so sorry if that's where you're at. the ones that come to mind are alphys/taako, delmar/whistler/semiyon, newt/harlan, and carlisle/nick.

sorry you've been having a rough time anon! i'm an older player, so the crit helps and i'll do my best to make sure i'm not an offender of the problems you mentioned in the future.

I love your Carlisle/Nick player I wish they rped elsewhere. Don't have time for a game but I started stalking because I love Nick and quickly realized I didn't have time for a game. You've got some rest gems in game so I can imagine why it would suck if you're a new player hoping for opportunities for Cr and ongoing cr.

you could hit them up and see if they do psls anon! they've been pretty busy lately but they're around on plurk and answer pings, so it couldn't hurt!

I'm trying to pick up the pace again but I'm sadly one of those players who have been having a rough summer, so sorry if I'm one of the ones you're waiting on, anon!

Personally I think the smaller groups will help with AC, as it always seems to me that the larger the group is, the more likely the thread is going to be dropped, so I'm glad that I've got a smaller pool to play with this time.

Also +1 about the Carlisle/Nick player! She's such a sweetheart.

I joined near the start of this year and have loved every moment of it as well, except that I noticed a huge dropoff in posts starting in June. I was hoping it was just a fluke but now it seems that's been the normal amount of activity since then. I really hope things pick back up soon because while I still enjoy the game, it became slower-paced than I wanted really abruptly.

But the suggestions others made here are pretty good for finding people to tag, I think. I've had no problems making AC in any month. It helps to be proactive - make toplevels, make network posts, tag people's inboxes, and try to reach out and build lots of CR. I feel like it also helps to try and be social with other players on plurk or discord and I understand if that's not your thing, but staying in touch does help people stay interested in your character between threads.

As a longtime player here, I noticed the dropoff in posts too and I think it might just have to do with the events. They've been very laid back (raising energy for the gods' help was even ICly voluntary) and that sort of thing just doesn't prompt the flurry of activity that more direct or threatening events do, so I'm hoping it'll pick back up soon.

As a longtime player, I have noticed that there are times where we get spurts of activity (usually during events) and then periods of silence. For instance the start of august was really quiet, but I think things will pick up come the deserted event. It would be nice if there was more for characters to do in between events than just bumming around, so I've been trying to give ideas to some players on things their characters can start up. I hope they work out because I'd love to see more characters being proactive with the setting so people aren't just waiting for events to happen every month.

tbh i'm not sure why delmar/whistler/semiyon is on your list of reliable taggers. that player drops everything after a few tags unless you keep reminding them, which isn't very reliable.

everyone else seems fine, but i wouldn't recommend that player to newbies looking for solid cr.

sorry i pressed the wrong link, that comment was in response to this anon: https://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/75965.html?thread=236138685#cmt236138685
