[META] Number of active players

[Jain]

I have a friend who was actively following allong although not posting much but when the whole SLA thing came into play he pretty much gave up. I think he felt overwhelmed. But I'm trying to talk another friend into joining and he seems interested.

I have to admit, I was a little overwhelmed myself at first but now I feel like the size of this game is even more reason to give it all of my attention and really make an effort to be part of it. I usually play a few games at a time but I have not even looked in N&R since Mikey made the Google Group because I know I will only have time for this.

I'm wondering if people are turned off by the classroom aspect. I have to admit at first I was. I don't think people should be, though. I don't think anyone will "fail" classes and therefore be "kicked out". Yes, there is the whole TINAG thing, but I think the PMs probably realize they will not be able to hold everyone's interest if the game becomes too much work.

Putting forth a little effort and posting something in the classroom forums should be sufficient I would think.

I would like to be able to contribute more to the player submission challenges, but I really just haven't had the time. At the pace this has been going since Mikey's Google Group started and especially since the school website showed up, I've had barely enough time to follow the story developments, let alone contribute to it. I kind of wish the game had started like this during summer, I feel like myself and I'm sure others as well would have more time to contribute content to the game. I also hope we see more puzzles as that's somewhere I feel I can contribute without devoting a lot of time.

For somebody like me that just got involved right before all the school stuff started happening it's been a bit overwhelming... I love the ideas, I love the concepts, I love what I've read, but besides my already overwhelming coursework that I'm already behind on taking the time to do this stuff is just a bit too much for me at the moment. I want to participate more but it's just not in the cards at the moment as I have just about overextended myself with the amount of interesting projects I've been involved in as of late. I love the ideas here and will be actively following, reading, and occasionally posting as well but it's just too much for me to throw myself completely into it without sacrificing other things that I unfortunately can't sacrifice... Oh well... I'll do my best regardless...

For those concerned about the classroom participation for this ARG, I am copying this statement from the "Introduce Yourself" thread on SLA.

Just wanted to say I am still here, just busy like everyone else it seems. I had been going back and forth with Jan, but that seems to have stopped for whatever reason. *shrug*[/google]

I definetely plan to be joining in as much as possible, but I'm getting an annoying tendency to fall asleep on my bed after coming back from school these days.
I've been PM'ing the characters though, and trying to post in the classes (I'm gonna do so bad in Astronomy though ) so I should be OK when I settle back into my school routine.

personally, i got turned off when this thing became focused on the Google Group. i havent recovered since then, though im trying to get into the school aspect of this.

i guess i personally feel no connection to the schooling aspect of this because many of us are already going to school, so its not too appealing to me.

however, im gonna lurk this for a while and try to get into the school thing. if not, ill just be a lurky-lurk until another step in this ARGs process comes out.

i also wanted to say that i <3 this game's storyline and cant wait to see where this goes.

does anyone else wonder/think that the St. Laudines aspect of this is the main focus of the game now, like, its the thing that the game was building up to? in other words, that this is where the ARG is at for the most part from here on out.
