Bump!

Just to note that IL is now currently in the beta testing stage for v1 and there may be a release sooner than we all thought!

I have to agree with this post, actually.
Lately nothing seemed to interest me as much. It just almost seems like all of the different categories of roleplays are the same. They don't really have that "wow" factor that gives members motivation to jump in and join in on the fun.

I'm not saying that the group leaders/recruiters are doing a horrible job. Good gosh, no! All I'm saying is that sometimes it wouldn't hurt to just take your hands off of the keyboard and mouse, and brainstorm an interesting plot. A lot of people are impatient when it comes to this, however, and that's completely understandable! When people see large groups forming as they wander in... Say fluorite, we all know that we just want to make a group with the standard things so people don't get confused.
I just wonder: is it that much of a big deal to simply explain something new? Something that people may have never thought of? Surely it would interest them more, even in the tiniest bit.

Maybe, as Oceanwave mentioned, there could be this great Dragon roleplay, where the creator or volunteer took the time to create this exotic map. Floating islands and crystals, endless mountains with a flowing river, and for a twist there could be a set time before this world that they lived in suddenly "explodes"
Now don't just simply say "uses powers to protect the world from self-destructing". Even Spyro in 'Dawn of the Dragon' had to fit the peices of the puzzle before he found his purpose in the world.
Create a good antagonist in the plot! This is what truly keeps the roleplay interesting with good twists as turns. Have an epic battle and decide the fates or destinies of one another.

And remember, EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT. I cannot express this enough. There cannot be just one character who always takes the spotlight. Let others in the roleplay have a chance too! It makes them feel special, believe me.

Take your time when progressing through the roleplay. Yes, it will be slow at first. No, it won't always go the way you want it to. But that's why in a roleplay you must have one key thing, that I see most people miss.
Patience.
You must have patience. You can't have a successful roleplay without it. Trust me when I say that if patience is involved, everything will turn out in the end. There is always a light at the end of a tunnel.

Depends on how... desperate the person is for a mate. They can either be as you say, and rage about it afterwards, or they're a little embarrassed that they asked and walk away.
I've had this happen before, when I was on one of my characters. A person came up to me and sat beside me, then starting whispering me asking if I wanted to be their mate.
I tried to reject the offer as kindly as I could, and they simply said "Okay, thanks anyway." and walked away.
A useful tip is if you don't want any mate beggars, you can add into your biography that you're not interested in having a mate or (if pups/cubs are involved) offspring, as most people (or beggars in this case) are likely to read your biography first to make sure you're not... taken.
Why do they do it? I'm not entirely sure myself, but some people just want a mate faster than others who like a slow pace, or if they even want one at all.
