[War_ooc] Some discussions we need to have, right now

[Chazenesq2b at aol.com]

John, you have a 'very' subjective view of things, and that's putting it  
mildly.  I've been kind enough to lay off of you despite my inclinations  before, 
but keep whining about how you're the only one who does anything and  I'll 
start giving you something to cry about.
 
That being said, we need to keep the WR, as is I think.  I know, I was  all 
for abandoning it, but I honestly don't see any other way of evaluating  
actions.  This being said, I don't think we need things to be as detailed  as we 
normally are.  Any elaboration can be made OOC as to what the GM's  intentions 
were.
 
I think the GM structure works fine.  Fight as we do John and I  normally get 
things done.  Ian, can you check your E-mail filters?   You're usually good 
about getting back to me, but John has a perennial complaint  about not hearing 
from you, are you blocking him by accident or something?
 
In terms of advertising, I'm not sure we 'need' advertising.  WAR  loans 
itself to being a small group... it's what makes the world go round...  haha.  In 
either case, what we 'do' need are people who post.  We get  new applications 
every now and again, and John to his credit does play the  welcome wagon role 
really well... however they're just 'not' following  through.  It may be 
frustration with the application process (ie the nation  bios) but those are 
something needed to keep WAR as is, and honestly I'd rather  they not join up if 
they don't have the initiative to work (with or without  help) on those.  
 
In short, I think WAR is fine the way it is.  We're all a bit upset  because 
posting isn't what we're used to, which is fair enough, and cause for  
concern.  However WAR 'IS' still chugging along, despite the fact many of  us have 
grown from when we first signed up and gained other  responsibilities.  John's 
graduated and looking for a job, Dan's in Grad  school, Pat and Lisa are both 
hard workers, even I managed to find a job.   And yes, that means we have less 
time for WAR, but the fact we 'make' time for  it should speak highly of our 
commitment to this game.  
 
So, in summary... Mike I'd like to borrow you to surf Nova's web site and  
see what kind of publicity we're getting there.  Let me know, I know Pat  Weber 
fairly well, and if we can use some more 'glitz' or name time on their  main 
page to draw in the plebes, I'll ask him for it.
 
John, an idea occurs to me, about what Lisa said as WAR is usually gained  
towards Poli Sci types.  Why don't we try recruiting Poli Sci types?   Blogs, 
message boards, even school websites... peruse through them when you have  the 
time (this isn't time sensitive) and see if there are any promising fields  for 
tilling out there.  The more you can get, the better.  When we  both have a 
moment we can gather whoever's interested in helping out together  and organize 
a coherent recruitment strategy.
 
Let me know what you all think, and any other concerns any of you may  have.
