I have been thinking a lot about the god playing a race thing too - and the temporary solution of x posts per x days doesn't sit well with me. I suggested it as a temporary fix, until we could get a bigger discussion on it. I am now more inclined to not allow it completely, because as you say, it is unfair to the few that renounced godhood to play their race.

I was 100% for this until we lost players and the dozens of races created during the Age of Creation were more or less forgotten about. Until we get more people I don't think it's wrong for the Creators to expand upon their creations a little. I have no idea who created the Thorac Humans, but I think they'd have a cool story arc if anyone took them over, so I am trying to keep them someone relevant in the meantime. Same as the Naga or the Squid Creatures who are into science.... And really, the Saen won't do anything on their own until they are claimed, but since they have such a close relationship with Pome (tending his forests and living on his Shrine), he can order them to do just about anything, so does that fall into the realm of playing the race, or Pome giving orders?

I propose we give it one week, until the next Sabbath, continuing gameplay as we have been while actively trying to recruit players. If in 6-7 days things continue as empty as they have been, we can all present our arguments and vote on it. I do think we'll need some middle-ground, because I am not confident we'll attract many more active players to fill in the roles of the empty Gods, or take over Races.

As for recruitment, will rejoining v/all be enough? It worked initially to gather people who stayed for a week, but maybe a post to v/rpg or v/dice would aim at a more specific demographic? If no one minds, I'll go ahead and do that, unless it would be better coming from one of the moderators.

I have to say that I agree with all the sentiments in this thread. I do think we need more players and more people writing. I would like to add that this week alone we have had a number of new races/players join. The question is, do we allow this sub to grow organically, with one or two new players a week, or do we force it. The new players that have joined recently have all seemed to contribute. They seem like they will stick around, unlike many of the one post gods.

For me, that's the problem with pushing the sub, you might not get people who want to tell a story and stick around. I like the suggestion in looking for new players in similar subs, it might at the very least provide less trolling.

To be honest I'm quite happy to trust the judgement of most people within this sub, for now I would suggest to give it another week, and maybe review it again at the next sabbath.

If people feel more strongly one way or the other, then I'm happy to support whatever action is decided.
