An awful lot of players don't visit the forum. But, if you have been in a few fellowships you find that an awful lot of people in those fellowships never visit the chat either ...or at least very, very seldom.
Now, I'm of the opinion that the more people talk together the closer they get. Yeah, it may on an occasion or two they are driven apart, but most of the time it's just the opposite. And those who are closer, are probably more loyal, participate more and, in general, have more fun so they stick around longer. If your fellowship is of the "too quiet" type here's a program that might help. We are going to try in one or two of our TC fellowships and maybe, just maybe it will work.
We are going to find 7 volunteers, one for each day of the week. Each volunteer, when they arrive, will post in chat a question (Elvenar or not), a favorite thing (book, movie, song, etc.), or a humorous joke, anecdote, or pun. As each player arrives, they can voluntarily respond. And while I suspect the "usual suspects" (nice play on words there, right?) will all jump in, I'm hoping to hear a few more voices in the echo chamber of chat.
If you'd like to try this, please feel free. All I ask is that you let me or us know how it goes. Does it help? Is it worth the effort? I'll keep you posted as to my experience.
