this is one of the reasons I'm glad my arc hasn't been reviewed, and why I've stopped reading the review threads. If there was a reviewer who avoided spoilers as a matter of course, I'd subscribe, both ways.

Must be nice to have that problem, now if I could just get ONE player to try my latest. 
131430 Starfare: First Contact
178774 Tales of Croatoa: A Rose By Any Other Name ( 2009 MA Best In-Canon Arc ) ( 2009 Player Awards - Best Serious Arc )
I finally unpublished mine for the sole reason I was getting people to play it but they would rank it but not give any feedback. Kind of hard to see it getting 2 stars but then no one tells you what the problems were so I could fix em. =[
So I just unpublished and let it sit.

In fairness, getting players to try your arc doesn't just happen. And I've been a publicity wh*re in so many ways it isn't funny, so keep advertising your arc and people will play it.
Sometimes just doing something silly - like when I created my toon "Dev's Choice" and declared my own arc a "Dev's Choice favorite" -- got several people to play it. 
My advice, though: Try to keep the way you promote your arc consistent with what's IN your arc. My arc is a fun "anything goes" in Wonderland story - so the silliness fits in with the story. If you were doing a sci-fi story, maybe a Press Release from Starfleet Academy would be more fitting. (You get the idea.)
I think it also helps me that I don't have 3 arcs to promote. Just the one.
Another way to promote your arc (and you missed the opportunity here, but can still do it) is to piggy back on another thread.
For example, instead of ending your message - "now if I could just get ONE player to try my latest" - you could have (and still can) continue that thought with ... "I think people would like it because (insert UNIQUE reason here.)
That's one reason I like my arc so much (surprise, surprise!) 
In it - whether you like my little twisted fable or not -- you will see explosive devices used in a totally NEW (and fun) way!
Now, get out there and PROMOTE your arc!!!! 
It's not that I don't like the publicity, I do. And I appreciate the kind words. BUT ...
... beyond the silly poetry and custom mobs, the main thing that "Wicked, Wicked Wonderland" has going for it is its story and twist ending. Give that story and ending away and there's far less reason to play it. (I had no idea how detailed some of the reviews would be.)
So, even if I have responded to your threads about "You Play Mine, I'll Play Yours," please remove my name from your list of arcs to get around to. Thank you.
(BTW: Thank you to the reviewer who has already removed their review of my arc. Not sure if there are any others out there but wanted to nip this is the bud - especially since it is a problem of my own making.)
