Sanctuary - The Haven for Fledgling Vampires

[Lancaster]

In response to your influx of members.
I believe it is word of mouth - and the voting websites we have at the bottom in the 'topsites' tab. I'm not sure if there is anything else being done from a marketing side of things from my knowledge I believe the topsites and word of mouth, that is how Path is being advertised.

That's basically it.

And the competition for the first gen character, too, was a thing - to try to get people out there and advertising. What else is there that can be done, besides trying to advertise on top sites and word of mouth?

Unless the facebook page could be boosted - paid for so that it pops up in people's feeds. That could be an idea. We do it for work all the time, advertising events. The posts can reach thousands of people for just $40.

[Myk]

I work in Marketing. I have ideas. :3

[Mora]

I work in Marketing. I have ideas. :3

I'd suggest PM'ing David and Nat with your ideas. I'm sure they'd be eager to listen and perhaps mold them!

[Lancaster]

Well then. You should share them with le David!

Sanctuary RP board is now live!
Wooooooooooooooo... you can find it here. We have nothing in it at the moment cause it was just created 20 minutes ago >.> But this is where we are going to base 90% of our IC interactions for Haven

(Told you it would be a bit different)

Chloe and I will fill in the deets on the actual board and then organise stuffs for it as we go. To kick off the new board we will have a competition and a request for player helps. >.> Cause it needs it.


Sanctuary Competition

Help us write our RP board description.

I wrote this with half a brain, but I know it needs help so I'm going to run a mini-comp for suggestions on names for the RP board, and for suggestions to help reword the description so it better fits what Sanctuary (and Haven) represent;

Competition Details
Prizes to a singular person or split if more than one idea is used. Rewrite RP board name and/or description.

Details of Sanctuary/Haven

• Sanctuary Apartments are open to any to purchase, whether it is human or vampire (or any level or magical power)
• Below in the basement sits Haven, tunnel apartments sold only to newly turned fledglings.
• So somehow in the description, for the RP board it needs to indicate anyone can RP on the board (cause that's the public side)
• But also indicate that below the facade is Haven, that sanctuary for new vampires the whole building disguises.

I'd love love love some help on this one.

Prize
Winner can get their choice of (one) IGC 50k, custom gun worth 50k, or a faeshard (a pretty common one). If I use partial bits from different entries, then I'll figure out a way to split the prize so everyone gets something for helping.

Pllllllllease help me overcome my brain farting moment. The current name and description feel naff as.

This was meant for here:

The Sanctuary sounds like it could really be well done with enough support and if you need a teacher, just ask Myk. He sure does act like one most of the time... <.<

Myk and I are willing to help, regardless. <3

Yes!

I think you'll like it. The mentoring for Haven will be RP based, and will take place on the new Rp board

RP BOARD

We're going to use Haven a bit like an RP dating service. New players come to us (or we approach them) and then we Tee them up with established players looking for RP. That way, everyone wins, the new players, established players and the game.

This isn't so much about Pi and Elliot, as it is about giving us all a different opportunity to RP with any new players that swing our way.

So I have your name, I'll tap you (probably soon, cause I think we'll throw the new d'Artie babies at this thing... let them play around)

[Pi dArtois]

I'm just waiting to hear back from a new player/character, so you might get your chance earlier than I thought! Weeeeeeeee...

And since you're our only official mentor right now Myk, you get first dibs on Stryge

Calling for Mentors

If you'd like your character to be a mentor just post here. There is absolutely no restriction on what characters can be a mentor. Include all your character alts, or whatever faction your character is a member of, and whatever anti-masq, masq leaning. All are welcome.

Since Pi is pro-masquerade and Elliot is sorta neutral masquerade, there is capacity IC for any sort of mentor to be welcomed.

In an ooc sense, we the players believe that it is healthy for the game, and for RP not to restrict anything about who mentors other than fundamental things. So lets get to those things.

Deal breakers - What you are agreeing to by letting your character be a mentor (that you must do, just by being a part of Sanctuary)

• Welcome the new player to the game - if applicable
• Be friendly to the player
• Act as an ooc guide - if applicable
• Write RP with the new player in Haven

Other than those fundamentals, we don't require the new player be taught anti-masq, masq, or whatever. It's just about RP. We do expect that as a mentor that 'guidance' means, the character comes out of the relationship more informed than they came in, but that's about it.

All things you RP will be agreed to with the other player and all game rules apply. The rest is about the RP.

Again the framework for this is purposely bare, so we can adjust iteratively, as we gain more insight into how this works.

The key is really, all are welcome to RP (and if Myk/Claire maintains the only other mentor, she might get sick of the RP >.>)

[Sia (DELETED 7173)]

I'd be happy to mentor.

[Lancaster]

Okay, getting the IC ball rolling on this one.

Business listing to recruit mentors and reach out to fledglings.

Open thread - If you join, you can set it a night after, or whatever. Is up to how your character came across the place. Maybe they live there! Who knows.
