A lot of people are getting very jaded and un-happy with the way things have been going here, as evidenced by the fact that we having been loosing members as quickly as we've been gaining them (we are still quite far off the clans 'best' numbers) And I know the feeling too, My family has lost a few members recently too, for no apparent reason (two case where there was never even a 'given reason') other than they got sick of waiting for PtP2 to start... The recent lack of... anything really, here on the forums has gotten to me too. This game is only as inclusive as we make it, and if we all just sit back and wait for things to happen, then nothing will... I've tried to do my part, keeping RPs going (Especially the 'community center' RP in the forum sub-section of the same name - I'm actually looking and creating a new thread for the same purpose but with the new settlement name... Who knows, maybe that'll help some... Would you lot be willing to help me kick it off if I do? - Just as soon as I get the 'ok' that is anyway...)
But this is just one part of the problem... I still relatively new to PtP (compared to some anyway - scary to think its been a good 18 months though...), but I can still see that the drive that existed when PtP1 first started has been lost... Things are going a little TOO well for us by 'coasting along', and as a result we have no 'direction' to take the clan in... No 'big goal' to aim for...
Thats why I'm starting this thread. To give us a place to 'spit ball' ideas for LONG TERM goals, goals that may seem obvious at a glance (to become a powerful overworld settlement - WELL DUH!), but without definition these vague goal won't amount to anything. So come on, don't be afraid of 'getting ahead of ourselves', of 'delusions of grandeur', aim for the moons themselves!
