August AC/HMD End & Discussion on the Game

[mallowmods]

Hello. Our August AC/HMD has ended. The following characters/journals are slated for removal:

Wally West (fastest_dude_ever)
Lucy Heartfilia (seiremahou)
Himi (hastheanswers)
Alec Loire (dhampir_guardian)
Chataya (trustsnone)
Minato Arisato (onelastpromise)
Souji Seta (fooling_around)

Ichiru Kiryuu (insufficient_half)

Remember, there is a reapp procedure to get you back into the game quickly should you miss one or two HMDs! After that you have to app again regularly.

I'd also like to open up this post to talk about directions we can take Mallow Hallow in and what can be done with the game. We recently had a great suggestion from one of the players about a possible Persona-world-based event that could work very well as a sort of Halloween-based event for the month of October. Any further thoughts on that would be nice. Or any thoughts on anything at all we can do to keep this game fresh and interesting. Things seem to have slowed down rather a lot lately (and I know people get busy and have other things that they need to attend to), and -- I'd just like to get people's thoughts.

Hello!

I just have some thoughts;

To me it seems that the games' strength is also its greatest weakness and as a result has become a vicious circle. Mallow is so relaxed it makes it too easy for the game to be forgotten, especially so for people who are in more than one game, and ends up taking more effort to get a ball rolling.

I don't feel that Mallow Hallow is an uninteresting or stale game- at least in premise. But I do feel that its 'no AC' (and maybe everyone being so spread out) makes the game require a whole lot of patience in forming a tight or reliable community.

Not very helpful, I know. orz

That is a point, honestly. I've been contemplating the idea of instituting some sort of actual, minor activity check (say like either one post to either comm or one quick comment thread with someone every month?) to try and encourage people to post more.

[never_go_back]

I think that's certainly worth considering! Hopefully others feel the same.

[primumsanguis]

I agree! Cause having an ac will actually move people to check in more often.

I agree with this ...and also I think you should get more mallowhallow mods too so that there can maybe be more activities or something? Just a suggestion ><

Good point -- also to avoid any situations like I had the other day, where the thunderstorm that would not end kept me off the computer all afternoon. >
