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.

| 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.

@baby 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. |
