Re: Reasons why you should join the Council and not the Guild

I just recently asked people to post anti-council and pro-guild propaganda on another thread, and they couldn't come up with anything (Other than the fact that WiFi knows how to make cake, but that's beside the point). So, here are my list of reasons why the Council is undeniably superior to the Guild!

We'll start off with good things about the council, I suppose, so look here and you'll see 'em all!

1) It's the original. Okay, so maybe the Order of Sub Llamians, Creative Nation, Overwall and maybe a dozen others beat me to making an RPF group, but most of them were inactive and full of old members, relics of older generations of RP. When Sammyman09 and I made the Council, it was new and relevant, and bursting with activity. In fact, the Guild was made at the same time as the Council with the sole purpose of destroying the council - not a very nice thing if you ask me.

2) The group's active. When I left the Guild, the Guild was dying anyway. Purring told me she left the guild because it was inactive and irrelevant to RP. I'd provide a screenshot, but my country (of residence, not my country of origin) just blocked img/ur (THEY'RE COMMUNIST, I'M TELLING YOU!) so I have nowhere to upload it to.

3) The discussions are relevant. Every so often I change the group shout to interesting "Discussion Topics" for the group to discuss. One of the more recent ones that I personally liked was "Which ancient or medieval civilizations inspire your writing the most?" - You see, a prime example of a discussion designed not to be completely irrelevant, but to help inspire creativity and to help people trade ideas!

4) Group Collabs. I won't reveal any more right now because we haven't finished even one of them yet, but essentially it's just a piratepad for the entire group to collaborate on. I'm still working out how it'll work, but trust me, it'll be worth joining just for the group collabs.

5) Ranking based off of genre. Now, this is really good for if you're like some people, really interested in an unpopular genre and looking to get in touch with others of your same interests. Let's say, for instance, alternate history is a rare genre to see here. And let's assume that you're interested in alternate history. But you can't find any alt-history threads on the front page of the forums because they're an unpopular genre. So what do you do? Well, it's simple - You look at the Alternate History Council and just PM some of the members in that rank, asking for links to their threads!

And now for some anti-Guild slander...

1) It was designed with the sole purpose of demolishing the Council. Just ask Eric. He told me (and I paraphrase and likely misquote because propaganda) "I left the Council and formed the Guild because I simply didn't really like the Council. Sure, it was an interesting idea, to have all the RPers in one group to trade ideas, but the group wasn't biased enough. So now I decided to leave the Council in an attempt to destroy it."

2) The Guild is inactive. Oh, don't get me wrong, you may be able to get a few replies if you post on the Guild's wall asking a question about RP, but in general I don't think it's that active. It's not very active when I decide to start lurking on the Guild's wall occasionally.

3) The discussions are, in general, irrelevant. Most of you are in the Guild, take a look for yourselves. As I said, irrelevant to RPing, amirite?

4) The Guild does practically nothing to engage joiners. Sure, I've seen Soard post a few contest threads for the Guild, but really, a contest, unless you're allowed to work with others, would make you competitive towards other members of the Guild rather than cooperative towards them. See my next point for more info on this. Not to mention the fact that I rarely see any entries into the Guild's competitions! I bet that if the Council were to hold a writing contest, it would be MUCH more successful! If someone in the Council is reading this, please remind me to put that in my idea box when I'm done with all this slander.

5) The Guild's ranking system is based entirely off of popularity. I find that outrageous. Sure, if it were based off of maybe skill as a writer and RPer, I may be slightly better with it, but basing the ranking system off of popularity? This is ridiculous! Now, while it's just the rank names that imply fame and popularity, luckily, the Guild's ranking system is flawed in other ways as well. For instance, to become one of the higher ranks, one of the criteria is "Don't be known as a troll". But who's the judge of who's a troll and who's not? For obvious trolls (i.e. those that don't RP and just sit around all day making OOCs and spamming and whatnot) I may understand this, but really, if the other criteria include having written forty RPs at the very least, then we need to figure out who's the judge! For instance, take Tai. When I was new here, Tai was a respectable RPer and RP writer, probably having have written dozens, if not over a hundred, RPs on ROBLOX. But nowadays his actions strongly resemble those of a troll. So does that mean that he should have a high rank, or a low rank? It's all in the eyes of the HRs, of course! And if someone OOCs during a certain part of the day and RPs at other times and the mods only see the OOC and not the dozens of RPs, they'll deny legitimate RPers the ranks they deserve! Another issue is that the RPs have to be successful. I have talked with both WiFi and Soard about this, and they have requirements for the number of pages required to have a successful RP. Now, that would be understandable if the main goal of RPing is to get as many posts as possible, which it very well may be in the case of those two, but for most of us, it isn't! We RP to have fun! Therefore, a successful RP should be one that's fun to write, fun to RP in, and, for the lurkers, fun to lurk on! Which, by the way, this just adds to the biases and popularity-based ranking system!

So, to sum up all of my complaints against ORG and compliments towards the Council... Well, you know what to do!

"#edgeisreal"

Dude. You hang out with Soard all the time and you're saying that I'm edgy? I don't even know what edgy means, I have no idea if it's a compliment or an insult, but someone once used the word edgy to describe Soard, so I'll assume it's an insult. GFYS, WiFi.

"Your jealousy is hilarious."

What have I to be jealous of?

Hold on guys, I can decipher timpookieism,

this roughly translates into:

You shouldn't join this because it is owned by someone else other than me and is much more successful than my half assed attempt.

If you weren't jealous of the guild, you wouldn't go around slandering it.

And why do you care so much about a roleplaying group, anyway?

All they're for is posting links to new RPs , and the occasional contest.

Except that that's NOT what they were originally for!

And Romuluz, if you hate the Council, why are you in it?

I joined it long ago, before I realized what a stuck up, arrogant, uneducated downey filled with jealous rage you were.


And p.s.

The guild is actually way more active than your council m8.

gg no re.

Define care.

Do I care about timpookie?

No.

Do I care about yelling at him?

Not exactly. I see it as a form of entertainment as he, like a few others have antagonized me and therefore must be exorcized in the name of Senrak.

Oh, pfft, no.

I just happen to know it as fact and therefore will use it to dismantle his crappy arguement.

Because I know it'll tick him off.
