(bumping)

Another thing that I think caused RPs to die off is when only one person knew the basic entire plot. What I mean by that is, when a user creates an RP, he/she is the only person who knows most of where the RP is supposed to be headed. I think that if the creator of the RP told a few people (users who would be key players in the RP), then the said people could help make sure the RP keeps on track. This allows for greater control of guiding the RP and helps prevent unwanted plot changes. In addition, it means that nobody is completely dependent on the creator to describe the next events. I think Odyssey and Genetix stalled because the nobody knew what was supposed to happen next and the main director of the RP was absent.
