It's only been, like; a day. Most RPs over here take longer than that to set up (considering both player count and timezones). case example: the other currently active RP (The Descent) currently has the required number of participants to run (and has for a few days), it still hasn't actually started, because of preparation, time zones, and other niggling little details.

In short: Rome wasn't built in a day, nor will an RP on the DUST 514 forums.

I want to add in one more tidbit, in my honest opinion you aren't really ready for pulling off an event like this.

In order to have a successful event that is actually finished, you need some kind of plan, a plot and a rough idea of what is supposed to happen. On top of that you have to be good at writing, and most importantly active to keep up the interest.

If you just look at Raven's story, you can see that it hasn't received updates in over a week. The posts there are pretty much bare bones and there's no real goal to drive the action forward. If you literally start the recruitment for an event like this saying you have no idea what it should be, it doesn't exactly wake confidence and is doomed to fail from the start.

Now take the Blood Hunt, it still died in the end but it survived a lot longer. The key to it that there was a clear goal and target in mind right from the start, there was an interesting premise behind the story and the action was never stale.

Pulling off a collaborative story like this that is good takes a lot of work and effort, it isn't something you just put halfheartedly on the forums and expect there to be interest.
