The apparent repetition of the site storylines and the lack of "flare" is also a factor of becoming more used to the place.  Yes, they get re-used because most people come here with similar background in fantasy games, books, movies.  How many plots are really out there? Try giving them twists, try looking at other sources.  If you think you have great storylines but no one else is willing to play, try coming up with ones where others aren't as important, or try to rope in new people, or consider that maybe those storylines aren't really as good as you think.New characters can take a while to get started.  I've started several that I've thrown away because they didn't "click" for me, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them and learn from playing them. You may also not be seeing everything going on with new chars.You say "everyone is getting bored"? Odd, the people I know aren't bored.  Or really not so odd, because at any given time in almost anything, about 1/4 of the people are bored, 1/4 are happy, and 1/2 are somewhere in between.  Maybe you just know the wrong people."Good" evil characters are very diificult to play.  There's often times in ISRP when not many are around.  It's hard to be evil and not be considered a god-moder, because to have an impact the evil char needs to be able to somehow hurt other characters without dying immediately themselves.   I have an evil char, but she's a small evil who in 20-some fights in ISRP, has managed to win only 2 of them (one against Rajak!), and even so there are people who won't RP with her.   Feel free to start playing one yourself instead of complaining about the lack.</blockquote>
