I'm just curious what other GMs have seen in regards to interest check thread posts when compared to actual requests to join?

One recent example is an IC thread that got 8 "I'm interested" posts, but only one of those converted to a subbed RTJ.

Another recent example is 6 "I'm interested" posts, but only one of those subbed a RTJ.

So is it just me? Am I doing something wrong in the process here?

Advice or pointers from other GMs or RPOLers that have been around here longer would be appreciated.

Well i recently started a game and of all of the people who posted interest only 1 joined.

i dont know if it is a case where they take a look at the RTJ requirement and then change their mind or just miss the "i started a game, come join" part of it.

It's not just you. It's one thing for a person to say "sure, I'd try that" but quite another for them to submit a full RTJ. On the other hand, I've had 'dud' ideas that had few responses in the interest thread, but I was overwhelmed once I posted in Wanted: Players.
