I got really addicted and invested while she lost interest and moved on to another game in the end. Zoom forward a few years and I'm still here!
I think sometimes inviting friends you know would enjoy SD (and is compatible with it) is a good way to recruit players who might stick around or perhaps contribute to the game positively.
However, then there's obviously the main problem of meta and OOC contact...Also, it would clash with Rule 2.I [Sharing Contact Information] directly.
So how do I explain Sindome to a friend?
Well, you tell them about the game. It's a cyberpunk text based RPG and you can do crazy shit in it and it's fun as hell. Don't delve to IC but just tell them enough to get 'em hooked and get them to check it out, y'know?
Stick to the rules and you'll be fine. Make a pact not to talk about Sindome if they sign up, that way you won't have the urge to share those juicy IC info's.
Other staff might advise differently. I'm just a lazy web publisher.
I have had many friends join off that description, and I didn't even know who they played until years later when one of them stopped playing and mentioned something that would tie them to the character offhand. Its wonderful to play the same game and get totally different experiences together, knowing you are both doing something amazing but not exactly what.
