Good point..
And yes...
They're still trying to figure out who I am..

They'll guess in the end. Lol. Anyway

Yeah Popity isn't on the RP scene anymore she quit so doing Elements again wouldn't be the same, also to be honest I don't think we should try to mimic it I think we should just do the same again as we did the first time, have a school, just RP and see where it goes.
 
Aha.. ha. How do you do? I see this place hasn't changed. So, I'm rusty, and I'm feeling that theres life in me yet. I know this is a little forward.. but I wanna roleplay. :] Someone remember me. I miss all of you.

You're just the person this forum needs again.
sometimes its funny you talk about someone and they appear
(no it was nothing bad)
But when you think of the old rp regs your name is one of the first everyone thinks of.
Breathe life back into this place, or at least give some tips on how to get this place rolling.
😱


 
Aww.. I thought no one would remember me.. Or people would be like wtf go away. But hey, thanks guys. I'm remembered. I feel loved now. So.. Roleplaying is dead, ey? No surprise. Perhaps I will come back, but right now its a little tight.

Har har.. I see the fighting doesn't stop. So, someone wanna roleplay with me or what? Someone make a suggestion. I don't want to appear in a thread already made. I dont feel like reading all that crap.
 
Rest assured.

On another note, I'm gonna start a roleplay. Um.. Kind of a revisit from something I did in the past that no one will probably remember. BUT. Anyway. Before I actually make it, just wanted to alert the.. public.. of its soon-to-be appearance. And that I don't want half-assed roleplayers. Or roleplayers not willing to keep up with the vocabulary and length of the roleplay. Just like old times, ain't it?

But yeah.. It'll be made. Maybe tonight if my insomnia keeps me up again.
 
meh, ti's not a suggesting...i'm just gonna tell everyone that i might not be RPing much cuz school starts on monday..so if i go awol then you can take over my character..just, don't kill it off cuz i might wanna come back or something..yeah. :]
 
(( Sup Channy.

Sorry I joined in a bit late. I was interested, just a bit busy. I think I'm the only one who remembers this RP. xD I don't think I joined it. I might have like posted once in it, and that's all. Anyway I haven't been that active here - when the RPs I were in died, I stopped coming. I only just started again cause Flame told me you were back with a kickass RP. I'll be around more often now that exams are over.

Err, I don't have the time/patience to go through all nearly 20 pages of this topic to clean it up again, but it will be done at some point in time. v_V As much as I enjoy the current subjects I'm doing, there's truckloads of reading to do, and they use BIG PEOPLE WORDS. T_T I'm like WTF wut dose "Their authors, explicitly or implicitly, claimed that male dominance and quantitative methods existed in... 'a (more or less) unconscious conspiratorial alliance'... objectivity was dramatically rejected by anti-positivist feminists and its previous epistemological status claimed instead for personal subject experience. The resulting objectivity/subjectivity paradigm wars are now history..." meen?!?!?!?!????!ONE!!1. Had to read it like three times over to get it.

See, this is why I was the only Asian doing Sociology. /wrists

But, back on to the topic. I think pretty much everyone who wanted to join already has. And why am I the only guy? And lyk, wut? From the looks of it you aren't going to find a Witch.

EDIT: Just skimmed through about 10 pages and deleted spam based on what I flittingly read. Might still have some junk here and there; I personally don't really care. I'll make an OOC talk topic or something and try and get this working. ))

So... Like what is it that most people want to rp about. Cause i got a space one from way back then that did pretty well for awhile. I could try it on here if yall want it.
 
Yeah. We need more roleplayers. Or more people dedicated to a thread and don't leave after becoming irreversibly active. >_> We have like....three who would even bother. Why even have this forum? All we do is sit around complacent and sort of half-heartedly joke like there's something to do here. We're better off going to another site.
 
Well maybe we need better RPs? I dunno. And if you can find a better place. By all means, show us the way. 😱k:
 
Like what?

We can do something like a buffy type theme? You know, have like a group of 4-5 good guys, and an arch enemy that is always planning and controlling all the bad guys.

I'm just saying that this forum gets about 5 posts a week. It'd be slow and everyone would lose patience with it.
 
AND ANOTHER THING. Stop deleting successful roleplays. After the elements one and the Westminster schools one or whatever I named it, I had a kajilion posts and since they're gone it made me go down to practially 0. That's annoying.
 
the reason why i'm reluctant to RP again, is because I know sooner or later, people will leave, and the same thing that is happening now, will happen again.
Also, it's finals atm so I don't have much time available for RPing.
maybe, instead of coming up with new RPs, we should just revive some of the old ones. go to the archive, see which ones have potentially, and actually finish a RP for once.
just my opinion.
 
All this is total bull****...
Why did we all leave?
"I'd roleplay but I'm to afraid other people will leave."...
..no..
Face it. We all found better things to do.
Yeah, Roleplaying is fun. It's awesome.
That rush where you can see everything...when your imagination creates the whole scene.
It's awesome.
But we made it a chore...
...instead of a hobby.
That's why we left.
Because we kept pressuring each other into posting because we wouldn't wait to post again.
When your forced to do something you begin to dislike it...Kind of like school.
That's why alot of people don't like school anymore.
....but...yeah.
Stop the bull****.
And this IS NOT directed at just one person, but all of us.
And...how did this help? Why did I post this?
...I'm trying to say...if you start again...
...5 posts a week...is enough.
Be patient.
Or else Roleplaying will die here, once again.
...This isn't offensive...so please don't take it as it.
[[ And for the record...post counts...really don't matter. They don't tell who you are...and I'm not sure why you care...but eh. Personal preferance I guess.]]

"This is not directed at one person..."
Yeah, okay. xD I see several references to my post.
And I never said post count matters. I said it's annoying to see it change drasticaly a lot.
And people will see it as "Five posts a week, it's not even worth it" so despite an inspiring post such as that, it probably won't change anything. Unless we get a lot of new but talented roleplayers all at once...
 
Many people are apprehensive about joining an RP cause they think they'll make themselves look foolish cause they have no idea what their doing, so instead of joining and trying the RP they just look over it and never give it another thought.

I directed one thing at you...
Not several...>.>

Alright, we'll go you're way.
Let's sit here call everybody a moron and think up of all the way things are going to go wrong...
...never be satisfied with anything such as five posts a week...
...because obviously you don't want to roleplay yourself...your just intrested in getting more people.
And when more people do come, you just insult them.
That's the besides the point though.
So...Let's go your way and see how far that gets us.
>.>..
Though, I must admit...you are a good roleplayer when you put yourself up to it.
=/
I wasn't looking to change anything other than to make people realize that as long as you have two people and a thread...It's enough to roleplay.
Even 5 posts a week is enough to get a story done. Adds to the suspense.
 
The reason I stopped posting was because of school (writing my final FINAL exams atm)
So I can start again in Dec
If anyone else is interested, we can bring back a couple of threads and whatnot.

If I didn't care about roleplaying, other than getting members, and just insulted the ones (who didn't deserve it =\) then I wouldn't have posted anything to brainstorm ideas for making this place better.
And I would definitely roleplay, if someone would write a decent roleplay. We've got a few now, but none I'm terribly interested in. If I invested my time and my good roleplaying skills (thanks for the compliment) in every roleplay I saw as mediocre, I'd be bored and leave. That's why I join the ones I like, the ones well-written and seem to actually have a plan, not something like "Okay, we're in another world and there are demons here and you are humans with magic powers and you have to beat them. Here are the character outlines".
No, I'll admit I'm not satisfied with five posts a week. This place has seen better. But I realize that sometimes it's necessary to have such low numbers to get higher ones.


I see two references to my post, by the way. Post count, and five posts a week.
 
I agree with you on the decent roleplays.
Most of the roleplays suck.
but maybe, we spend to much time brainstorming then actually roleplaying.
And we don't roleplay because their are no good roleplays.
And their are no good roleplays because we're to lazy to move the mouse over to "New thread"...and make a new roleplay.
=/

((I guess I missed the five posts a week))
>.>
 
🙄Umm I was thinking that yeah some of the roleplays do suck (including mine) but if we could find a way to help the people who are making sucky roleplays better then thats a plus to. It seems to me that people are just going out and making threads so there would be some.
 
Indeed, We could help them.
..but when would we get to the actual roleplaying?
=/
Probably never.
Let's go like we used to.
We used to be like..
-----------------------------
"We need a new one"

"A water theme."
"That's cool..Uhh...pirates!"
"Nice...I'll make it."
------------------------------
Than it would turn into something like pirates invaded the town and you were either a pirate or a prisoner of theirs and it turned into a really awesome story.
 
With regards to the whole "good roleplay/bad roleplay" thing...I think even if the initial post was mediocre at best, we (the RPers) can still turn it into something good, and worth while. Nothing is 'set'. So if a newbie made a thread with a somewhat screwed up plot (or whatever), we can still utilise what we were given, and make something brilliant out of it. So I don't believe in the whole "this roleplay seems sucky, so I won't post in it".
 
😵
Either you changed, or didn't realize what you just said.
I agree with you...
...you know what, forget it( I was about to go into a long speech, lol) Their are like 7 or whatever threads out their right now.
...If you(Directed at everybody) want to roleplay...
...then just pick a thread.
Right now.
Forget making new ones.
We have tons of threads that are NOT finished.
>.>

 
I've seen many a RP's I made on various other sites explode like crazy even though they had horrible plots. Its all about how much you want to put into it to make it great.
 
@ Zach...I don't think I've changed. |: But ok.
@ Feliks: agrees.
I can only start RPing after Nov.
But it would be interesting to see how many RPs we can actually finish.
 
When I said change...I meant...In a good way.
>.>
...but maybe you haven't, I don't know.
Haven't talked to you in ages.

Which is quite unfortunate, you haven't talked to any of us for ages, and you were fun to roleplay with. My first spar as well.

Edit: And to the whole roleplay thing, (hopefully Popity doesn't mind me saying this now) Amanda and I are teaming up to make a new roleplay, one that we think is good and has a good plot. We should have it finished soon. =)

🙄Yeah what everybody said was good. But if i seem mediocre or however you spell it sorry (i'm lazy today) then tell me and try to help cause i'm trying sharpen up the skills.

I don't mind you telling them. But yea, we're working on a RP. Hopefully everyone will like it.

The reason why we're working on it, cause I suggested to her that we should have game masters to help guide the plot. Rather than to just leave it open. I think if an RP has an actual story line, and someone can guide it in the right direction, it can run more smoothly, not drag on. (Like 20 pages of just plain fighting) And there should be something for everyone to do, and to suit all personalities. Like if you're a loner, you can be a loner, if you work better in groups, then be in a group.

It's organized, yet very....not. It's weird.
The point is, nothing like it has been in this forum before. I don't think.
That's the whole reason I even think it's awesome. >_>
And yeah, like she said, you can be pretty much who you want to. And you don't necessarily have to be "bad" or "good"...

Keikoa, I think you're an excellent roleplayer.

Using people to guide the plot is a very fun way to keep things fresh and new, I used that way in some of my RP's and most of them took off well. Though, some of them failed miserably.
 
🙄I like it because its different. This place needs different. I can't wait until you guys get finished with it.

Thank you very much, and i think you describe wonds flawlessly.
 
I actually agree with whoever said that as long as you have a rp with a plot and at least two people, that it can work. Any Rp can work, long as there's people posting, provided that they keep it interesting. It might get a little arb, but it aint that hard to make up stories. And adding boundries to an rp... don' you think that would kind of take away what an RP is. You'd be too busy wondering whether you're over stepping the rules, and making sure you're sticking to the guide, rather than being your own person, and just being allowed the freedom to come up with whatever you're feeling. Anyways, aint an RP supposed to be like "a go anywhere" thing? For me, I personally like the idea of having no definite end, and that way it can lead up to anything. It's all about intertwining yourself to the story. If what you guys want are Rp's to join, then i don't mind making up a couple new threads? If they're no good, then close 'em, and we keep trying. 😛:

I think we should leave the ones we have now, and since Popity and I are making up one as we speak, it'd be senseless to add more unless we needed them.
 
Our RP isn't bound and restricted by a guide. We're making it flexible enough to a point where we don't even know if good or bad is going to win.

I must've read wrong, regardless, aint that up to the people posting. I'm not trying to be negative, i'm all up for your Rp. It's probably going to be awesome, seeing as you're taking SO long. But the real problem here is, people are too busy worried about what story to make, rather than joining in on the Rp's. I'll admit though, I too wouldn't just join any Rp, but still anything that keeps me typing, and wanting to come back and post, is fine by me.

Yes, it is up to the people posting, and we have included details and opportunities to let any side win. She and I have no idea which side will come out on top. We're just making up the setting and keeping it interesting throughout the roleplay, so we won't have 13 pages of just fighting. And yes, we are taking a long time. It's hard to talk to people when your schedules are different. We'll have it ready really soon.
 
Yea. She comes on for one half of the day...I come on the other half. Yay for time zones. :clap

Kiari, when you see me online. Just keep messaging me til I get my arse out of bed and get on the computer. :lol:

Tell you what, you write the first draft of the thing, and I'll add my changes or rewrite my ideas into it, then we'll make the final draft and it's done. That way it won't take but a couple more days.
 
I think this place needs an active mod.
Someone who regularly partakes in all/most of the RPs, and someone who doesn't go off on 6 months breaks.
Reason being: this forum has dwindled to only a fraction of what it used to be. Roleplaying isn't just some one liner/+ 1 post count. There are so many spam posts, it's not even tolerable any more. So someone needs to take the initiative, and PM Jenna for a mod spot. No offense to Mad Hatter, but she really doesn't do jack. So I don't know who is the most active...Keikoa? Frosty?
 
Yes. So I think all the roleplayers should say their say now...and voice whatever else opinions they might have...because we don't want a mod war either. And I agree, Keikoa is one of the most dedicated RPer, and she's always been here. But I haven't really been participating so I don't know what the situation is right now. Frosty seems pretty active yes/no? But whatever the case, this place *really* needs a mod...and maybe review the rules/guidelines.
 
lol why...would she hate you? 0.0 and you've only been here a while, so that's why I suggested Keikoa for the job. But you can apply to Jenna...and see what her take on this is.
 
😱k: I dunno, anyways, I totally agree. Keikoa would be more suitable in my eyes. Like I've stated before she knows the rules and guides. Besides... the power would go to my head and then mwuahahahaha😛:
 
Lol. It's not a case of 'want', but a case of 'need'. This place _needs_ cleaning up. Besides, being a mod isn't too bad. You get some nice priviledges, etc. As long as that person can handle the BS, and not be intimidated, then everything will be fine.
 
Yep, well i've notified Jenna 'bout it. She will be handling it after the new years, when everyone gets back from holidays. I think it's safe to say that Keikoa will be the RP forum mod.
 
you can make one, or you can look in the archives for any old space RPs...we've had a couple of those...so maybe you'd like to revive some of them.
 
Just tell me what you interested in Rping and i will do it. Also, go check out the "or how about?" topic, you can get some ideas there, oh wait... i read that wrong. My apologies.

Has anyone bothered asking Keikoa about it? We can't decide for her.
And no, I do not hate you. I just think she has more experience with the forum than you do.
 
wow 🙄 I really need to read roleplaying suggestion more often sorry lol. Anywhos, yes i'll be the new mod for rp forum, about time I wanted that position back long time ago. Sorry if i offended anybody. and Fearless you need to start roleplaying more, I miss roleplaying with, and Kiari also :reallysad. Lol but i understad if you don't sometimes things are just not interesting to some.
 
I'd love to get back to RPing but I just don't have the time >.< I'm going to uni soon...so it's pointless starting now, if I won't finish it.
 
meh I shall see ^__^

and AFAIK, Elements, and another one (can't remember the name) were finished and locked. umm one was almost finished but not quite. heh. Kinda sad really ._.';

Just apply to Jenna. 😱k: I'll tell that h0 to make you one or else she's fired. :curse:
 
🙄 Neverland is a little bit scary especially with the smurfs and stuff, but if we can have smurfs, can they be green? :dontknow:
 
Those aren't smurfs... those would be smuffs! 😱k:<< smuff. smurf>>:reallysad... oh my... holy cocopops... the ultimate war... Smuffs Vs. Smurfs... who will win...
 
hmm i'm just wondering if it's a good idea to have so many RPs going on at the same time. usually that never works...it becomes too much for everyone to keep up.
 
yar, don't get me wrong, i think it's great that everyone's so enthusiastic...i just think that in the long run, it will be better if we don't have so many threads...rather concentrate on a couple...and make them really good...until more ppl comes.
 
I say...Just go with it.
Forget the plans and just see where it all takes you.
>.>
Means don't plan out which Roleplays to roleplay in just roleplay in the one you want to.
Yeah.
(...Why is my rep -19995 when I only have one bad rep?)
 
Josh in Macon...
....>.<....
Atleast the Rp's are there as an option..
Don't like it, eh?....
Then don't RP in it..
>.>
 
Yea...I saw your reps...I repped you back trying to give you a positive. But I obviously don't give enough. :reallysad

And congrats Kei on the mod job. Yay. :clap
 
Congratulations Keikoa.
Thanks popity.
And...I'm not sure. The post he gave me a bad rep on...he actually replied to and he agreed with what I was saying...😵
 
Bahahahaha. Good luck with all the spam Kei. You'll need it. 😉

Back to suggestions....can we do like a x-men/sky high type of theme?
