many ideas are overused and have been done before and are just dead horses now. these include:

 - space empires
 - vampires
 - highschool
 - any kind of school for that matter
 - "super power" schools
 - doomsday scenarios
 - zombies
 - WWIII-esque
 - most wars, as well

however, original content is shunned.

many solid ideas are turned away because they are either:

 - too complicated
 - too hard to understand
 - don't have a solid plot

or maybe just lack intrigue in pop culture.

for this reason there is a very slim margin between having a good, orginal roleplay that won't die in 10 seconds, and having a crappy, overused, dead-beat, zero-plot piece of cow dung.

i can't find a way around this.

There used to be a roleplay back in 2011 about a school. BUT, this school had limitations. Such as like, no perfect looking, no cliche backstories or whatever, and I think they encouraged people to be unique, out of the Jock-Geek-Emo triangle.

Giraffe, it's not about having fun, you dolt. It's about original ideas, and I've seen a lot of overused RPs.

look

http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=27231547

this was ground breaking

but now it has been done a million times

i am trying to get something going like it but it's not really working out

galactic conquest is good but has been running for a while and doesn't exactly have the same vibe that < Star Empires ​> had

But you're missing the big picture and focusing on the tweak of what was described.

You're focusing on GENRE instead of MATERIAL.
Basically saying that anyone of one let's say.. race are all the same.

1. Giraffe, Relaaaaaaaaxxx....

2. Alpha, are you challenged? Role-Playing isn't meant to be fun?

Roleplay is meant to be fun. The fun diminishes if the idea is overused.

Well I don't hang around that genre.
It's rather unpopular.

It doesn't matter how used the GENRE of the thread is. You can use the GENRE as much as you desire as long as it's not a repeat the same time.

You're basically saying every single of the threads labeled are horrid.
In short, you're judging too many books by their cover.

What?
You expect him to have every single good thread bookmarked?

the arrow was meant for alpha

the genre does get old

this is why we do not see a surplus of zombie or space roleplays anymore

people figured out most aren't good anymore

If the idea is changed, it is not a cliche anymore. I'm talking about cliche ideas, not creative spin-offs.
