Allow players and narrators to view a reputation history for one another
I'm love storium so far, but the biggest issue I've come across so far is that most games quickly fizzle out, most often because the narrator or players simply vanish and stop posting. It's pretty frustrating to develop a well thought out character and never see the story get off the ground.
This has its drawbacks too. We'd probably see higher rated "veteran" users selected over new ones, but there has to be some way to encourage narrators and players to responsibly commit to the game they're starting/joining. Improved profiles with ratings and/or stats for successful play would give users a better idea of the creatives they're teaming up to play with.

User profiles show the number of current, completed, retired and suspended games so that other users are able to see the patterns of play each user engages in.

Who am i playing with? Do players like him? Do storytellers like him? Is he experienced or new?
We can see what games a person is playing by their profile page. However, seeing a rating might be helpful. Two ratings specifically, one from the storyteller and one from fellow players, allowing other players and storytellers to decide if they want to join. At the very least, demand a person has played x amount of games before joining a this advanced one.
