I already sent some thoughts via pm, but for the general discussion:
Plot-wise, I'd like to see more activity with Pernese politics and the other weyrs. More evil plots with Benden? Agitation/threats against Allirth and the possible corruption of the species? A Weyr breaking up and mass immigration to High Reaches and here as too many riders give up hope of a queen of their own? Lyeth laying another gold egg, and half her clutch (including the gold?) gets smashed in the process of some Weyr trying to steal it?
I'd gladly help write any of these, and I'd really prefer to keep Rebirth open.
But if we do decide to try one of the other ideas, I'd go with choice A. Then maybe have a plague strike that targets mainly or only males, so women have to start stepping up in all parts of Pernese society so everything doesn't grind to a halt.

No plagues.
Plagues are THE overdone lately.

I agree with tariala. Choice A sounds like a really good idea. I want to get Nocia a dragon on that site. If we can figure out a way to seriously drop the male population without a plague, can we try to make Choice A? I also enjoy making up new colors.

Males are generated by breeding in hotter conditions, females by breeding in cooler conditions. We could have an ongoing problem of "gobal cooling" (all planets experience these fluctuations, though they're thousands of years long type seasons), resulting in colder than normal, longer than normal winters. Esp in the north.
This would mean the population would shift greatly toward more females being born. Over the years, this would make a profound difference. Not much of one, so far as survival of the speices goes, but it would mean fewer males to do traditionally male roles. Women would more or less *have* to step up to the bar, to keep society moving.

I'm going to be difficult and say I like Choice B better. That's partly because it reminds me of an old RP site I loved, though.
The reason I haven't been posting on Rebirth so much is because I'm lazy. (Hey, you said to be honest.) I just didn't feel like putting the effort into posting when so few other people were active. I had a feeling something like this was coming and I didn't want to spend time posting when the site would close anyway. >.< I know it sounds really bad. If you want to keep the site open though, I will get active again and help you out.

I will stay active as long as the site is open. <3  Though, I have to agree ... if it *does* close, and a new one is started? I like B, too. LOL =P Unexplored territory, so much potential for WHO KNOWS WHAT!!!? And Book? It only takes two to play! Any more after that, is great fun. But you don't *have* to have a dozen players to make a site fun. |

Honestly, I am pretty equal between all of the options, but I want people active. *I* can't just carry the site on my own either.
Which maybe means I'm not suited to be admin. Eh.

That'd be pretty cool. Then again, do we really have the member base/activity level to support the resultant threads? I know I've been lacking on activity here because, frankly, I've been feeling that there just aren't the people around to RP with. Generally speaking, I only frequent Rebirth about once a week simply because I feel that there aren't going to be responses to threads that I'm expecting. I suppose I'm part of the problem myself, as I don't make enough effort to post promptly as I should being that I am a global moderator here.
If Rebirth is to survive, then all of us must make the effort to not only post, but to attractive a wider member base.
However, if it is decided that Rebirth cannot be resuscitated, then I think option "B" would be the more interesting of the two. Never heard of the concept before.

Ummm, you said be honest... so hers the truth...
It started as laziness and homework overload... then it became oh, I forgot to check that site, oh, I can do it later... then it became, later never happened because I forgot... And the laziness was partly because I ended up not liking to right the character that I am playing... until oneday, I am looking to clean up my list of sites I am on that are still active and ones that have died... and I suddenly realize that this place is still active...
I am really, really, really sorry...
I think that either you could advertise a touch more and keep this place running (and I will create a new charrie and maybe kill off my old one...) or I would say go with choice....
Um, A would be fun because you could create some fun females... Like ones that decide that they don't like guys...
And B would be fun because you could have new territory... IIf we did B though you would need a map.
And if this place continued running you could always do a volcano or felines...

Hey, Reine,
Could we maybe get a poll of some sort set up? There still seems like some fuzziness in what we're going to do, and a poll might help firm things up a bit. Say, pick one choice from: keep Rebirth open, Choice A, Choice B, and Shut everything down.

I'll give it a couple of days in case other people have ideas.
Whatever happens, I will want help advertising. My internet is very, very slow, and advertising on other games can take me as long as 20 minutes...per game.

I can't really help much on advertizing ... my internet is creepy slow, too ... but ... I am still here and still playing, and you can count on that. <3 I come every day.
And I do suppose it would help if there were more than one person trying to think up plot ideas. XD I might be able to help a little there, but ... it won't be a consistant flow of ideas.
