*Also, Dark's got a point. If we RP here, it won't die, simple as that. And saying it's dying means that it's more likely to die when it can be saved.*
I agree with Dark and Angler, but also have something else to add:
From what I can tell as this thread’s owner and second-most-frequent poster, the Bloody Barnacle has never been an especially quick-moving or prolific thread. That’s how it was designed, after all — I wanted the tavern to be a casual, story-focused experience akin to a campaign anyone can participate (or DM) in. You wanna explore something, or fight something, or try running an encounter to see how it goes? Then this was the ideal place.
In others words, this thread is far more of a Spider Guild or Universe Smörgåsbord than a Better Days Sanatorium or Vanderbilt Academy. And although we’ve acquired quite a few pages over these last few months, it’s only rarely gotten to the level of crazy hyperactivity we see with the DAO, Lord’s Rest, and Star Wars threads. It’s supposed to be chill, first and foremost.
The reason I say all of this is because, well, I don’t understand why everyone is so eager to say all these things about the thread’s imminent and impending doom. The thread looks like it’s declining for three reasons:
Many of our old friends and founding members have since left or become much less active, and this place isn’t the same without them. Carsorino, Z, and Baalze come to mind. While I don’t blame them for having lives and other things to do, it feels sort of incomplete without them.
This abyssal encounter has moved extremely slowly, which has put many character arcs and plot advancements into a limbo. The Athene Rematch, North Pole exploration, and Spider Guild exploration are all waiting on its conclusion, and the end result is a messy storyline that disincentivizes people from joining because they have no idea where we are or what’s going on. It should be noted that the encounter is beginning to kick off now, which is good for both those participating and those sitting it out.
People keep saying it’s dead.
I have a longstanding policy of never inflating my threads or people’s perception of them; I have never bumped this thread or advertised it any more than what I thought was strictly necessary. I leave those jobs to others who think it’s still worth fighting for. If people were to stop posting here tomorrow, I wouldn’t fight it — it’d be a sad loss, but this was hardly my only project.
In summary: I don’t see people posting here less and less. Compared to other threads it might seem that way, but to compare yourself to others is to set yourself up for failure.
*That is all. Apologies for being late to the party, as I was at a concert.*
*In other news, a new sister thread has joined the Lubridium family, and this one is looking even more awesome than usual. Link for those who haven’t yet found it: The Jewel of Atlantis!*
*8th level cast btw.*
