Okay, I've noticed that lately, there are a lot of high-school/college/boarding-school RPs. They haven't gotten much joins, but somehow they always make it to over 50 pages. Because of 'BUMPS'. These RPs are particularly annoying, seeing as most of them have:

A. No grammar whatsoever.
B. Use a genre that has too many RPs belonging to it.
C. It's creator is a dumb OD'er.


If an RP you created is one of the above, then your RP will fail. War/Medeival RPs have also been popping up everywhere. War RPs are always ALWAYS ALWAYS based on WWI or WWII, and it's ticking me off. Medeival RPs are okay, but there are just too many. And then, there is the ONE genre that annoys me THE MOST.

*SIGH* If only they would dissapear.

Modern Magic RPs.

Those seem to be the bomb, and I don't know why. For instance, 'The Heroes' was an RP made by a shady Chinese dude who thinks he rocks. I joined it, and so did others, like Kseeking. But ALL of the CSes I saw there were OP. Kseeking's power was 'Cosmic Manipulation', which means he holds the potential power to destroy the entire Milky Way galaxy. Godmod much? I tried at TWO CSes, and they were both denied because mine weren't OP enough. Yes, superpowers do count as magic, as you manipulate something with superpowers. Other RPs like --Bitter Cold-- is stupid. You live in an icy city with icy superpowers. RPs like this just push me off the cliff, so STOP MAKING THEM. They are OP, and even the expert RPers are darn tired of them. Now, moving onto creators.

-----------------------------------

Creators like DiamondDragonair and Soardlo I am fine with; they don't make their RPs all in the same format, and the same genre.

But then there are some who seem to think this tactic will get their RPs TONS of joins. For instance, iStarLiting. I've seen so many of her failed RPs, I memorized her format. Here it is:

HISTORY OF SOME GARBAGE

--

NEWS REPORTS IN THE FUTURE

--

CS

--

TWO RULES

--


Yes, I'm being literal here. People like that annoy me, especially if the joiners are allowed to cuss and cause romance. iStarLiting is an example of this; she always makes superpower RPs that are set in the future, in some fake remote town of some fake remote state in some fake remote country on some fake remote world. Seriously, these just annoy me.

-----------------------------------

So, concluding, I say that if you do anything I commented on or boycotted on, you WILL NOT get any joins. Well, I take that back. You'll get two joins from a couple of OP noobs with four posts. Again, just don't.

iStarLiting and anybody who do RPs like her, I hold a message for you.


Don't.

Even.

Try.

Although you might be right on the Modern day wizards, people like those, not many people like a nice world, like I made. But that's /their/ opinion.

Which Hero roleplays are you talking about? I only use "Cosmic Manipulation" if strong powers are allowed. If he creator had a problem with it he would tell me, I offered to change it if it was bothering him be he allowed me to keep it.
Also the reason why you weren't accepted is because your to lazy to read the rules.

@Sneaky

Yes, diamond is an okay OP except for one large flaw, she doesn't have the common courtesy to wait for her RPers and appears to select a certain few as to which are actually RPing, then leaves the rest in the dust without telling them anything....

That is a very large problem that can and will turn her into a bad OP.

Well, you clearly have say in what RP does and what the RPers can post. How about you do everyone a favor and let people have their fun?

If they want a school RP *which I didn't see much of* then let them.
If they only want a WWII or WWI RP *I saw one titled Cold War* then let them.
If they want a medieval RP *which I don't see too incredibly often* then let them.

You have no say in what people do. Pfft.

Well this was certainly uncalled for. But if you feel that it's appropriate to publically humiliate someone for "ticking you off", then I'll gladly do the same.

>Actually, a lot of these RPs ARE successful, and the posts certainly are not all bumps. You seem like one of those narrow-minded people that make too many generalizations. I don't know what prompted you to decide that all school RP creators are ODers, but I can assure that you are as far from the truth as you can get. I've seen many school RPs, and some of which have been made by RPers that I know for certain are not ODers. So please, quit stereotyping the majority of school RP creators for ODers.

"War/Medeival RPs have also been popping up everywhere. War RPs are always ALWAYS ALWAYS based on WWI or WWII, and it's ticking me off. Medeival RPs are okay, but there are just too many. And then, there is the ONE genre that annoys me THE MOST."

>Oh, I'm sorry that RPs that don't concern you whatsoever are ticking you off and have compelled you to make a public statement, as though you expect us to do something about it. I hadn't recognized your air of authority here.

"*SIGH* If only they would dissapear."

>Yes, keep dreaming. I assure you that won't happen.

>More generalizations, more blunt requests... you're just full of yourself. You don't need to speak for the whole of this forum, especially since you're as unrecognizable as the occasional drifter that visits our forum. No one is going to stop making a certain style or genre of RP because they are "pushing you off the cliff". I actually encourage them to continue. The sooner you fall, the sooner we will no longer have to tolerate your arrogant rants against virtually the entire community of RP.

>Clearly you have no appreciation for fantastical storytelling. The beauty of fantasy stories and RPs is that they can stray as far from the truth as the writer pleases. They allow you to escape the norms of our society and the realism of our world and discover those of another.

>Perhaps if your argument was stronger and was not brimming with stereotypes, personal attacks, and brash complaints, people might have heeded your advice and accepted your guidance. It's too bad that's all your argument was composed of, though. Now this thread will die off with the many others just like it, and your (nasty and hateful) reasoning will go unnoticed.

Good day.

It happens to be your place, and so is this:

Naow, if you where planning to become a forum god here, I advise you head back to your 1900's age drawing board. Or, keep this forum post up so I can have something to laugh my blocky rear off.

Your choice.

I just keep making medieval fantasy RPs because of the following:

1) Those that already exist are either too inactive or have been running for too long for anyone to easily just join. Too long because many world-changing things can happen over the course of 150 pages.

2) I'm always coming up with new ideas for how to create a better fantasy-genre world, and I want to see how these will work. Think of all of my RPs as 'test worlds'.

3) I like the fantasy genre, and there are lots of subgenre, so I try and create something within my genre of expertise that is not too far off from something that someone new to the genre would be used to.

And besides, I hardly see any fantasy RPs, so I make more to fill in the gaps.

Also, just to ask a question, what's wrong with ODing? Sure, it'll probably get you banned, but only if you're the one participating. Sure, it might expose little kids to disturbing things, but I'm willing to bet that everyone here is at least 13. So what's wrong with ODing?
