I'm in about the same situation. I probably can make it work, but I'm not sure yet. If we're only talking an hour or two, it's much more likely that I can make it.
Quote:Concerning lurkers: I'm still very lonely in my thread
I've found the best way to attract lurkers is to post often, with pictures and smilies, and include topics of discussion - not 'I've done this' but 'I've done this because', or to attempt to describe the rules and turn out to be wrong. If you can pull off a clever naming scheme or piece of fiction, that's even better, because there's no chance of a lurker spilling info on a topic like that. Consult Selrahc and Pocketbeetle's threads for examples here

Now, if you want to attract lurkers to their thread instead of yours, all you need is to be hilariously wrong about someone's intentions - 'nah, I'm sure Nyktorion would never attack me' when your stack hits my borders next turn, for instance

I've already got DaveV in my thread, but it's a real party over there, so the more the merrier!
