so this year I just took one of the best English classes that I've ever taken before, and now I'm trying to make all of my rps meaningful and symbolic (on some level)
but that just doesn't work out in an rp

| Throw in religious subject matter. Do that and people will discuss your work for years. |

Well, I don't think any of them will work out. They're all too open-ended. A few examples:
-rp about irregular creatures casted out for their singularity = discrimination (no real plot for this rp, just an open-ended one)
-rp about a war between man and nature on some alternate world = deforestation/environmental issues (again, no real plot. just a war)
-Desunion, an rp about gargoyles vs. wyverns = classic good vs. bad, corruption of the church, etc. (reposted this twice already, and it's died each time because there's no real objectives in it. I had plot devices, but the rp died before I could implement any of them. This one is chocked full of symbolism, as well) |

"corruption of the church"
never mind that, I meant the government. I was thinking of the Hunchback of Notre Dame (off of which this RP is somewhat based), but I made a few changes to it |

those things are hard
but if you can do it, it's amazing
so if you like hard work with a bunch of reposts, go for it. if not, maybe reality waits 4 you. |

Oh dear. Hello Tai, I thought you were that Hwen imposter fellow. Oh well. My point still stands. Religion allows for easy symbolism. |

@Mage,
Oh. Uhh. Jk, I didn't say anything
And, hwen is my twin now
@Purring,
Well, see, my open-ended RPs usually never succeed. Unless we can think of a distinct objective for characters, I don't know if it'd work out.
@Mark,
Ye, I've been having a slight obsession with symbolism lately. |

"my open-ended RPs usually never succeed" eheh um ... mind to clarify what you mean by "open-ended"? I'm still a bit new here (and also slightly sleep-deprived; for all I know, this is a major blonde moment)
"Unless we can think of a distinct objective for characters" Hmm.... If you'd need help with that, I could probably think up something good

| Well, by open-ended, I mean no set objective for the characters. Characters are free to lead their own lives and set their own goals. Character interaction is also a bit harder to achieve in an open-ended RP, as well. |

Okay, that makes sense.
whelp, I wish I could offer some sort of advice, but ... The longest thread I've ever had on the RP forum was the drawing one. Say, how many pages does it take for a RP to be considered "succesful?"

well, idk
I usually only consider an rp a success if it's actually completed
idk, we have too many standards for rps these days |

Hey Tai
I made an RP about religion
It's called "Satan Worshipers RP"
I think you'll like it.

"if it's actually completed" hum, in that case, none of my roleplays so far have been successful; the objective hasn't really been met in any of 'em
