ETA: However, I did envision the scene system being used for this end.
+scene/start Somewhere in Westeros=open/Looking for RP - maybe down by the dragons? I'm flexible
That shows up both on the web scenes list, the in-game +where, and the in-game scenes list. I don't really know how to advertise any better than that, but I'm all ears if somebody comes up with something.
I think the thing that's missing on this is some sort of announcement about the open scene. Right now, at least on GH (and on SL, when I played there), the trend is to start the scene, then note on the RP channel that you started a scene.
Just spit-balling - If there was some kind of announcement option (e.g., -
+scene/start Somewhere in Westeros=announce/Looking for RP - maybe down by the dragons? I'm flexible
) that pushed a little "[RP Requests] Bob started an open scene: <Details>" comment...?
So I just went digging around because I have been mulling this, a lot. Because I've been like 'I swear to god I remember this being a thing on BSU.'
I wonder if we just had 'announce' permissions as players and that's what I'm remembering.

I was going to write a snarky response, but I absolutely agree. People take time to adjust to a new tool and you have to teach them how to use it, and you have to remind people that it's there, by CONSTANTLY pointing to it. By constantly, I mean big huge letters on the wiki: THIS IS HOW YOU FIND RP, daily emits on the game USE THIS, and periodic reminders. But if people know the tool exists and they try to use and STILL have the same problem, then it's not them, it's the tool.
But this is part of what @Sparks and I are trying to say: scene/summary, for example, does work! It's just still new and we're still adapting to it. I think it needs to be given more time before it's declared something that doesn't work.
