I'm a performer on top of the two regular jobs, and I constantly feel as if I could entice a few fellow colleagues into playing since so much can center around "acting" and character development, etc. But there's no way to just point someone who has never mudded before at carrionfields.net and expect them to do the rest. I "should" be able to invite them over and set up my pos laptop and make a throw-away (fully rping) character to help guide them through the academy, answer questions IC as well as verbally next to them.

I get the rule, so I'm not fully arguing against it, but I know for a fact I'd have been able to get a couple players into the game a few months back in my last show were I not having to worry about the IP conflict.
