So I believe we have this problem of inactivity from a lot of our members. It seems like after an activity check everyone, except for a select few, falls off the face of Geneva Valley (instead of the earth...hehe ). Also we have the same problem with a lot of new members they come on for a little bit after they create a profile then they disappear. This make rping no fun because then you have to wait for a reply that doesn't seem to ever come. So I need ideas as to what to do to get more active members. I would really like it if we could get all of our members to be active many times a week. So any ideas? and remember no idea is stupid! Thanks!

Well, if you ask me, I think the plot might be a little too...restrictive. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, but unless you have an Eastern horse, really all you can do with your horses is have them create or join a herd. There is very little to do other than than for Western and Southern horses. I know that some people like to play for their horses a little outside of a herd before they have them join one. So, perhaps we could create a few non-claimable territories (either in the East or maybe create a "Beyond Geneva Valley" section or something) where people are free to play for their horses outside of a herd no matter what region they are from. We could maybe add Wanderers - horses that will never join a herd, but don't follow the Eastern beliefs and Runners - run-away slaves as part of the available "alliances" or whatever you would like to call them, to expand the plot just a little more.
Another thing we could maybe try is giving out Equus rewards for certain milestones a member reaches like 200E just for joining, then another 200E if they are log-on ten different days after their registration date and what not. Does that make sense?

I like both ideas I will work on the first idea as I can and hopefully I will get it done soon and I like the second idea also I will add them to the way to earn Equus

Actually, I think I may have some ideas. Maybe, perhaps, instead of having it so strict as to where only ONE mare can rule without a second lead, that you could have Second-Hand leads. In the mare's lands, she could choose a stallion and in the stallion's lands they could chose a mare. Of course, this is only if they choose (it can be a same-sex second-hand ruler) but the thing is that that other ruler would have only a few rights, not near as much as a full lead but more than a beta or regular herd-pansy. Get what I'm saying? And also, what if the three lands went to war? The mares could want the stallion's lands, the stallions could want the mares lands, and the others would fight just to end the sexist behavior. It would be site-wide, and also a promotion... Also, what about cannon characters? For those who are active and up-beat, they can have the choice to create a cannon character and have that character play a big role in the plot of Geneva Valley. These may sound kind of care-free and dreamy, but this is what I look for in a site. :).

Okay Eden I changed some things to go with your idea. You can reword them if you want to. My muse isn't here today so the descriptions aren't the greatest, but its all I can give today. I also updated the rules so you might want to double check them to make sure I got everything changed and added that needed it.
