About 2-3 weeks ago, I created an RP titled Imperion (Dark Post-Apoc Fantasy RP). I received a large influx of fifteen players, to which I was ecstatic that so many people had taken interest in my RP! So I closed it at the end of the week and put up the CS thread.
It's been over 2 weeks and only 5 people have made characters.
I'd just like to point out that I wasn't oblivious to the possibility that people might not be actually able to join in the RP. Not long after I made the CS thread someone had told me that they had become very busy and left, saying how they didn't want to quit mid-RP and ruin everything. I was fine with this, and even told everyone else (in the main thread) that if they even thought they might not be able to participate they should DM me, and that I'd be fine with it.
2 weeks, and 2/3 of the players who signed up are MIA. No DMs, no characters, no nothing. I really want to just DM them and remind them or ask if they still want in, but I'm worried I might be pushing it too much. I don't know how they might react to somebody always standing over their shoulder and saying "Hey remember to do this thing!" again and again. Not saying I'd do that, but I just am not sure if they wouldn't see it that way; I'm bad at social interactions so it's hard for me to read people and know what would irk them or not. And I don't want to leave the five people I've joined hanging any longer while waiting on a bunch of people I don't even know for an answer to a DM they might not even read!
What should I do? Should I message them, or continue on with the RP without them? Please, please answer ASAP.
