[PnP] List/Site back up

See though that was a test in a way.  A pbem gm needs to be patient.
No offense here.  Just what I've learned.  I've seen literally hundreds
of games start and fail within 6 months.  95% of that is determination
and patience.  I know I signed up and at least one other.  So not
sure what happened on the site  But i think if you had taken folks
here as sign ups and then forced folks to the site then they'd
come.  Granted Wout's site going down wasn't a big help but he
had no control on that for a month.  I had kept in touch with him
in my gamehe plays in and just couldn't reboot the server.

I DO think you have interest.  Maybe the method is not the best
choice for folks to like.  I've found folks will join a game if
you just let them and be.  Maybe they got confused on the site?
I dunno.  I myself want to be in a pnp pbem!  Sorry to see it not
work out.

You are still welcome back as Caladan or any others in my game.
In two years we'll be celebrating the 20th year.  I've seen maybe
30 folks join and leave.  Two died (miss you john!) Many just
faded away as they got lost or lost interest.  Some of the best
characters/players are gone.  But in the end I as GM just continue
on.  I will go on even with 2 folks if i had to  Wout and Alex have
been since then 1999.  If i gave up after the first guy left I'd
end back in 2000. :)  Right now I have 7 (5 very active, 1 awol for
now and 1 not so active due to ahem personality).  But if you stop
for lack of activity then games fail.

#1 I do it for myself.  #2 for the players.  If I'm not having
fun I'll stop.  Who knows maybe I'll stop on the 20th year just
to retire.  This would mean the next adventure (#8 might be the
last.)

Maybe you can try again but a bit less restrictive? (for lack
of a word)  I'd sign up again. :)

Burton  Emails coming I've been distracted.  Now that
list is back up maybe we can deal with things here if
we want to get some activity.

Sadly pnp is not a game folks know or care.  Anyone cna get players for dnd. :<
We need help like some good youtube videos on the game.....
