A big issue, I think, is that while we are a part of TSP, we do not really use Nationstates as a recruitment tool. I think that there was a feeling, especially a few years ago, that with the activity of veterans combined with a steady stream of people, some of which would stay long term, that recruitment didn’t really matter. However, many of our biggest veterans have scaled back significantly, or (in the case of Ryccia) fallen off of the face of the RP as a whole. I think we see ourselves kind of as wholly separate from NS and TSPolitics, and while that’s mostly true, we still need to draw recruitment from there.

This would require some effort, and (dear god) someone or some people to maintain an active presence on NS, but we could try making specific recruitment materials. An idea would be, for instance, to simply cross-post TIR to NS, but we could also have more frequent and less high-effort posts, like a basic newsletter that contains a summary of the week’s events in this canon. The only issue with this, of course, is that we need activity to have compelling things to write about..

This is a very good concern, tbh. More discussion about it would be useful to keep TSPRP alive.
