[ The Last Voyages ] Considering new game. Got some questions... Can players help out?

Friend and I are considering jumping to a new game and looking at TLV as an option.
SᏋPH
How busy is that game?
SᏋPH
Found the new TDM, but there's no prompts on it.... So.... Uh?
Jay
very very steady, usually posts every day, varying degrees of player speed and lots of acceptance of super fast boomerangers and slow plodders
Jay
people usually hit the TDM with prompts that could be used as app samples, so usually as if making a post to the network or a log as if the character was already on the barge
Jay
you can do ditl stuff that relates to barge life, draw from old ports or floods or breaches, etc
SᏋPH
There's a lot of info to go through for this game... But there's still a good group for slow tags?
SᏋPH
Like, you won't be left behind in the dust if you can't check in or tag on a daily basis?

I guess I'm used to seeing tdm with prompts in place to help introduce players to the game premise.

Looks like you write as if you're just arriving in the game, or as if you're tagging into the event that's going on that month or what not.
SᏋPH
Yeah, need to find the event too. Still reading through the faqs.
Jay
I mean, I've been SLOW AS HELL for a good couple years now, and I still get tags and CR from great people, even ones who boomerang at the speed of light with people who are more their speed?
SᏋPH
Quality of the game wise, has it changed much over the years?
SᏋPH
Like... Is it on a decline, or is it still pretty steady? Wouldn't want to jump onto a game that may be closing.
Jay
it's honestly on an upswing atm
Jay
we just had possibly the best event of my... 5? 6? years in game, with huge player participation, and we've been steadily getting new players w/o losing much in the way of old players for the last year or more
Jay
current players are more likely to bring a new character in if they retire an old one rather than to leave the game entirely
Jay
and as far as I can tell there's absolutely no reason to think it's going anywhere anytime soon
SᏋPH
Well.... I am writing up the app for Xiaoge even though I might not app him until after another character if I do app. But looking into what ideas I can use for TDM is harder because I'm not wholly familiar with the game.
Jay
yeah 7 years
SᏋPH
Yeah, why I need to make sure the game is still going strong. Long games have tendency to fade.
SᏋPH
Btw, Jay, the retired Eliot, was he yours?
Jay
yep
SᏋPH
Lol, thought so.
Jay
I've gone through Eliot, BBC Porthos, Clone Trooper Fives from the Clone Wars, and I'm currently on Shen Wei from Guardian
Jay
I considered xiaoge as a second, but... I need someone more social and outgoing than that
SᏋPH
Yeah, I remember you were in there as Eliot and Fives before.
Jay
yep
SᏋPH
I'm considering Cain (Lucifer) and Xiaoge, and Xiaoge is perfect for a second since he's quiet and not social. XD
SᏋPH
Not like Cain is....
Jay
lol
SᏋPH
Figured he's a good one to play shadow to if I play 2 characters, and neither are overwhelming.
BethampHATamine
I need an asocial character. All three of mine are “I will be your human shield now come to my party” types.
BethampHATamine
Sam Gamgee is my most reclusive and he gets ALL IN on anyone he lays claim to.
SᏋPH
I'm afraid of social characters. They eat up all my energy in a game.... why I think I never apped Loki anywhere. Lol.
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
Ahh, are you gonna be jumping off Noct? I meant to hit you up more recently for the July stuff, but this summer kicked my ass like 
SᏋPH
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
: Not yet. Cain's still there running his bar.
SᏋPH
Haven't decided for the future yet, but figured that the AC is low enough that I don't need to quit for now. Just haven't been inspired by the events lately.
SᏋPH
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
: Btw, do you have any new starters? I've been lazy about making new starters lately since the new events weren't to my interest, but I've been jumping into other people's threads. 
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
OH HEY HI I'M HERE also yeah I have a couple posts up - there's my open log for Rey and I also put up a network post for my other gal, if either of those interest you
SᏋPH
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
: I might poke into the log, if I can remember what else happened with that event besides the vampire stuff. I'll go read it up again and might tag into it after, unless you want to wait for next event instead.
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
The last bit was mostly dealing with the Ruby summer stuff, hehehehe
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
Rey glow and she hate it
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
Though now I'm imagining she accidentally brings in customers at the bar and that could be an amusing thread with her and Cain 
SᏋPH
Yeah, I think I might work with that glow one, though I can't remember what special ruby event there was.
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
I'll have to doublecheck but I think it was pretty much just "they glow and it draws mega attention" so lol, it giving Rey shit while at work would be fun
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
The rando gem following her around reciting terrible poetry returns
SᏋPH
Yes, I saw that. XD I'm down for a thread of weird Rey admirers at the bar if you want to do that. Lol.
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
I'm totally up for that 
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
Either I can write a custom starter or you can just tag in as a pseudo-wildcard, either works for me
SᏋPH
If you want to do a custom, that might be more inspiring. Lol.
ʙᴇᴄᴋ 🍂
I can totes do that, and I'll ping you when it's ready 
SᏋPH
Sankyu so much. <3
