I know, I know, me and my oh-so-specific titles. Full of spoilers, amirite?
This is a thread of which I have made to discuss various related issues of RP! Hoorah. Just kidding, not so yay. Well, I mean ... yeahjustkeepreading.
THINGS I'D LIKE US TO DISCUSS- (oh, and please try keeping this to this thread for now; I hate clutter...)
1. The state of RP (haha, as a general thing. Certain details shall be specified in a moment.)
2. things you think have IMPROVED in RP since you joined- AND- things that have GOTTEN WORSE since you joined
3. Complain about everything you hate in RP.
4. Gush about how much you love RP!
5. Theories on why things that are bad in RP are that way
6. Say stuff about how you think RP can improve
7. Complain about how this looks like a bunch of essay topics and threaten to kill Purring
9. Your RP strategies (if you so desire to keep it a secret, be my guest; I'm just saying that if people wanna give each other advice, it ain't a half-bad idea.) on making a RP and keeping it alive
8. Remembering that we skipped #8 and putting it here instead
10. Trying to think of a good tenth topic and instead putting this here instead. (note: this topic may be subject to change, as it is not even a real and substantial topic and I will likely think of a more legitemate tenth topic instead of this.)
OH One last thing, people!
Don't turn this into a flamewar-kill-everyone-who-does-not-subject-to-my-superior-mindset thread! Also don't make it into a pointless OoC. Seriously, if you wanna have fun descussions, have a game party or somethin'. Or talk random sh/t on another thread that is not this one. kthx |

...Nothing has improved. Everything back then was so much better. Everything here is awful nowadays. |

1. Most people are "leaving", but this will probably be like rpcove. They'll tire out. I'm not saying it's a bad thing-Yet It's not a good thing eIther.
9. CHOOSE A GOOD TOPIC. My other 'fail' rps failed because, well, they were bad ideas, or just poorly implemented.
My only two 'successful' ones were the Evolution one and the Gamergate one.
Now, I'm pretty sure almost everyone loved spore, so I was good with that. And with GAMERGATE, WHICH, TRUTH BE TOLD, WAS BASED ON THE QUINNSPIRACY AROUND THE TIME. So it kind of depends on timing too. If I did the Gamergate now, I guess it'd never lift off from one page. Also, it was a joke. |

Well, I guess it was simpler back then.
Honestly, I would've liked the forum to be that way. *The crowd boo's*

I'll just skip complaining and go right ahead into how we can make this a better place.
Personally, I love RP Nation's UI. It's really clean but the only problem, a big one, is that it's filled with so much Anime RPs and the fact that I have to manage actual time kinda kills it for me.
Anyways, a few of us have decided to create a weekly collaboration group, but it's not really doing any justice as no one is actually showing up. I think it would be nice if those who actually want to RP here come together to think of an idea and make something so we can remain proactive with all the stories we have while still communicating like we usually do (sort of like my Jam sessions but this time with actual on-topic things).
If that doesn't turn out well, then I guess we can just do the whole community a favor and ignore unneeded OOC threads and actually force ourselves into actual RPing. I think we all know that complaining about how OOCs are taking up the front page without actually doing something is pretty worthless, so if all else fails this would have to be our only way to restore the forums. If not, then... RIP RP Forums. |

The first I joined.
BOIII
Also, WiFi, I guess there's no perfect place for us.
For all of us, to meet each of our 'different' 'criteria' |

| That's true, but considering this is an RP Forum, I think a standard needs to be set first before we can actually make some improvements. |

I'm just going to assume you were blown away by my natural talent. Insulting it is some sort of defense mechanism to try and convince yourself that it isn't possible for someone to be that good at roleplaying. |

That's because you joined after I did. When you weren't a young child and when that wasn't the norm. |

| I was thinking about making a Canterbury Tales-esque RP with fantasy themes over Christmas break. A large company of travelers of varying backgrounds and characters set out on a pilgrimage, all of which share a common goal and a common destination. Of course, their journey would be spiced up with dilemmas, trials, and adversaries to keep things interesting. |

| Most in-game RPers have, er, less than perfect grammar, mage. I was surrounded by the same basic stuff you were, just in a different setting. But yeah, the age thing does matter too |

Look at the join date. We were young. There was no quality control because everyone was that poor. Your thread was posted this year. How old are you? like...14? 15? I was like 9 or 10 at the time. |

It's like I'm cursed or something. Just about every single role play I make fails because it either turns into a battleground, or it dies when no one joins. And I do the interest checks and collabs, but I don't ever get joiners. It's like my only function here is to join rps, participate in Jams, or OOcs.

I started by making an RP, with good grammar, spelling, and all the basic things (the holy trinity, if you will) you need in an RP, story, rules, CS. It's just I was the *loads AK47* kinda RPer at the time. I got better by the 2nd or 3rd page, though. Boom. Mozart level savant. Or, like, half that. Still tops you, Mage.

| Rockmax, it is true that some peopel are just better at RPing than they are at making RPs, don't be so hard on yourself. |
