Okay, I set this up so that I don't have to create and delete topics whenever I want to announce, inform or notify something to the entire community. I'll post all further announcement in this topic, so be sure to check it for news every now and then.

Firstly, two things I've been wanting to do, and I think I'm free enough to do them now that my assignments have been and are being done.

1) This concerns the RP Archive forum. There are roleplays there that either died very early (having up to only two or three pages of IC) or never even got started. I am going to clear those up. I'll save the first posts of the OOCs down for my own future reference, but I suggest that anyone who wants to save any profiles or information from those threads to do so within the week. I know the regret of not having saved a profile that I liked and the dread of having to redo it from memory, so I'm giving this one week advance notice before I clean up the archives.

Roleplays that shall be deleted:

- Gundam SEED Destiny
- Evil Dictators Unite!
- Metonian Sun: 'Schism'
- In the path of Indestro
- Anima Fatum
- Kanaka Makua
- Gauntlet: A New Dawn
- Life in Spira
- Doppelganger Blues
- Return of Magic: Revamped

The earliest I'll delete them is on 21 August GMT +8, so please be sure to grab whatever you want before then.

2) To make it easier for me and everyone else to keep track of who is still current active in our roleplay community and for better communication between each other, I propose having a mailing list. Preferably something kinda like a yahoo group or an msn group, but I will settle with anything similar that allows posting/updating and archiving of stuff. I may even consider making a website with all that (complete with user logins and stuff) but my server-side knowledge is not good enough yet. If anyone wants to help do that, I'll be very very happy.

But for now, I just wish to get some feedback on this proposal. The purpose of it is to draw us together and for better communications (I know it causes problems for roleplays) and keeping track. It's entirely optional though, but it would be better if everyone does join (if we get this going). But for now, any comments, suggestions, criticisms? Anything at all?

3) I'm still requesting for roleplays. Yes, I did just make one and am still waiting for one. But I would like to see variety. If there are so many of my roleplays (you bet I'll start creating) floating around, it'll just be boring. So anyway, if you have any roleplays dying to be put up, offer them, there's a place for them now. I'm accepting up to two roleplays, three if I can help it. If you have some idea, PM me and I'll help give pointers to create it or help you with it if I have the time (don't seem to have much recently though). They will all be most appreciated. ^^

Well, sel, i think it sounds like a great idea, so i'll start. if any wants to communicate with me, heres my stuff:

Email: Bloated_stoner_monkey@hotmail.com
Msn messenger: same, obviously
Aim: BLUEBOYZEZ1989

all i got. Also, a question. Me and rean are thinking about a roleplay, either here or in my other forum. so my question is, neither of us (i believe) has completed a roleplay, so would you still want it? i can ask a few other rpers for recommendations when we complete it, but i'd just like to know if i need to, or if you can decide yourself? thats all. later everyone.

I am goin to create a roleplay neh

If you have not completed a roleplay here, you can find three experienced dreamers roleplayers to vouch for you to create a roleplay here. That will work.

Thanks Cresi and Krazed. ^^

E-mail: eat_play_t_bone@hotmail.com
MSN: Same, but I'm never on.
AIM: none

I have a roleplay ready, subject to your approval. I'll PM it to you sometime.

Email: bdgcarlson1@msn.com

MSN: Same as Email, best to contact me via messenger.

I have a roleplay that I am working on, Im still fixing some kinks it may have. However I am all for having some sort of an online community for roleplaying. I haven't roleplayed here at Dreamers before but I should be experienced enough to handle myself. Either way some sort of a group would be really good, it should keep things more organized. It could always be something as simple as a proboard, its probably ranked second to invisionfree. Then Seluna, you could email the url to the place.

So do you want me to pm you when I have a roleplay, or do you have enough as it is?

We basically are our own group. We don't get many newcomers at our RP forum, so we're glad to have you. Welcome.

Oh, and Sel, I am going to PM the RP to you, so by the time you've read this you've probably seen that.

I have been working on a quite unique roleplay i would think and i have a couple ideas to revolutionize the roleplay experience. I would actually like to have something very similiar to D&D, using and opptomizing emails and AIM to maybe twice a week play in a real time manor, i am actually in the process of writing a number generater, which would act as an online set of dice. I would also like to have this take place in a server seperate from this one. Seluna, i understand you need help with your server, Im your man. At any rate, i would love to finally have the oppurtunity to start a roleplay, Though i've yet not finished one yet. If you would like i will pm you with my roleplay and if approved i would like to have an open discussion on how to modify the AIM process and the email process. I should have it ready within a day or so, and then i will pm you if you request so.


<Edit>
By the way, I have a forum you could post the whatever you need on. If not you could always subscribe to runboard.com, recieve a free runboard, then set up a password secure log-in that only the members of the roleplay or whatever variations you need it to be. You could as well make it applicatin acceptiance, and if you make us moderaters, we could help with site maintainence, and im only volentiring myself. If you would like to speak further email me or pm me, whatever is easier for you.

I'm online on msn and skype when I got online at home, and am invisible on yahoo, but you will have to be very lucky to catch me on AIM.

Thank you everyone, for your suggestions and please do keep them coming. ^^ I had contemplated using a invisionfree forum for the mailing list thing, because it's does not restrict emails as much as yahoo or msn groups, and since I have two of them of which one is just a test forum, and also because it would do nicely with the subscription to topics and forum thing.


Exire, welcome again. I remember you, Rohan's friend, right? I've received your email but I keep lacking the time to sit down and reply to it. I'll get back to you on it as soon as possible. And about the roleplay, yes, if you have one, do PM it to me. Even if the amount of roleplays to be put up has been met (which is not, currently), it'll be higher on the waiting list and I have more time to give suggestions and such without worrying about other little things.


Likewise, if it's ready, PM it to me and we will see what needs to be changed. And thank you for offering your knowledge, time and forum. We'll see if we'll require them. ^^

LE daddy dear, I've received your PM containing the roleplay, but I don't have the time to read it yet. I'll get back on it as soon as possible.

Just something I want everyone, especially the roleplay creators, to keep in mind. This will lighten my job so that I won't be so stressed and worried about roleplay forum, in addition to school work, real life and everything else. And it'll hopefully keep the forum's activity a little higher.

Please take it upon yourself to make the roleplays more active, I cannot prod every single roleplay into activity every time it seem to be lapsing into dead-ness, especially when I have to concentrate on my schoolwork like now and future similar periods of time. I tried to keep track of every roleplay and it's very exhausting mentally, because I don't know if the roleplayers in the roleplays I'm not involved in are still around or still care or not, and either option is not a good sign of where the roleplay will go.

I will poke the roleplays that I'm involved in for activity if and when I can, but it's because I'm a roleplayer, not because I'm a moderator. I can't singlehandedly keep every roleplay (even if just those I'm involved in) active by myself, so I need everyone to put in some effort for the roleplays you take part in.

Roleplay creators have the responsibility to prod the roleplayers who are slowing down the plot. Just an occasional reminder to the roleplayers should not take as long or require very much effort, and it's better than me hunting out the person who's blocking the progress then attempt to figure out what is going on. Also, be a role model and observe the below suggestions for roleplayers as an example.

Roleplayers have the responsibility to see if there's any way to forward the plot or to keep the roleplay active with some activity. I know it gets redundant if your char keeps doing sideline stuff by him/herself somewhere again and again, but please at least try.

Also, to try not to block the entire plot from moving forward. If there's not choice but to do that, try to get the roleplay post out as soon as possible. Please don't dillydally until everybody loses interest and the roleplay goes inactive for so long it has to be killed off. Also, indicate an approximate time range so that you will not be waited till the prematured end of the roleplay.

If you're not interested anymore, say so. If you don't, other roleplayers may assume you're still interested and is making a post and everyone will be involved in the waiting game. In fact, this happens so much it's not funny. I'm on the verge of suggesting that nobody waits for the other roleplayers unless they (the other roleplayers) specifically said or indicate they will post.

I don't want to make roleplaying a chore with so much considerations, but at least take roleplaying with a little more seriously than just an occasional whim. What I've said in this post are what I think basic general knowledge and to-do for roleplayers. Just these little efforts can help more than you realise, so please, just take a little time and effort for the roleplays.

Okay... another announcement. I decided to try using an invisionforum as mailing list. I'm more familiar with that if anything.

http://s13.invisionfree.com/dreamersRP/

Those who have posted their emails here have been pre-registered. The password is 1234. Others will have to register themselves. There is no validation, so you can immediately post where you want. It would be better if the first stop is the announcement thread. The forum is relatively empty otherwise and is up to you guys to fill it up.

I have also set up forums (in that forum) for discussion for the roleplays in dreamers itself. Do make use of them. I'm also trying to include various roleplay related resources and materials there, so hopefully it'll flourish into a nice roleplay community attached to dreamers in the future.

Yet another announcement. I have re-written the FAQ which I felt is a bit wordy and could not answer some questions that I frequently get asked about.

If you feel that there may be more that can be added, feel free to add your input and ask your questions in the General Roleplay FAQ thread. Hopefully this one will be more helpful.

Oh... another thing, the Expanded Roleplay forum has finally been updated. Do check it out and help it grow, ne? ^^

Announcement

Because it is festive season and I know that many (including myself and my sisters) will be busy and probably already is, I'm suspending the inactivity time of all roleplays from today (19 December) to 1 January. The inactivity clock will start ticking again on 2nd January 12am GMT +8.

Which means, for this period of time, I'll take the inactivity of the roleplays until yesterday 12am GMT +8, and from 2nd January. If there are posts during the suspension, inactivity count will start on 2nd January. I'm just relaxing the rule so everyone can enjoy Christmas without worrying that the roleplays will die, but if you can still post in your free time, feel free to do so. ^^

Discussion

1) I am thinking of splitting the OOC thread so that the important information and profiles can be in a seperate thread for easier reference. Which will mean a normal roleplay (non-freeform) will have three topics, Info, IC, and OOC which is mainly for discussions. It'll also make it easier for me to archive, as I'll archive only the Info and IC.

However, three topics per roleplay seems to be quite space consuming, and it is very likely that things will spill over to the second page very often. And I'm wondering if everyone can get used to this. So I'm asking for everyone's opinions on this, and I'll decide after I hear them.

2) Tying in with the second point, I'm considering deleting/changing DreamersRP forum, our side forum which is currently mainly used for referencing, if we agree on splitting the OOC thread. Why change it is because of a small team taking part in developing the Group RP project, but that is not the matter now. If DreamersRP is to be deleted, this thread will be used for announcing new roleplays as well, and will be the main mailing list notification. If not, it shall remain as it is, as our primary reference and mailing list notification.

3) I'm also thinking of having more freeform roleplays, instead of just one. They generally carry a more relaxed feeling, and I personally feel that it is easier to attract more newbie roleplayers with them. What do you guys think? Can we have more freeform roleplays?

4) Just a little idea. I thought of collaborating with the graphic section of the forum by asking the graphic artists to make banners, or custom sig set to advertise the roleplays. It could be those smaller than 100px width and 25px height banners, or something. Just an idea, and I'm throwing it out to see what you guys think about it. Feel free to add on or disagree.

5) Not really discussed yet but I'm thinking of archiving the roleplays on a seperate site, alongside the better graphics and writings of dreamers. It's to keep track of some of the things done here in dreamers, and to showcase. However, this is just still an idea. Even if not alongside the graphics and writings, I'm still quite itching to archive our roleplays somehow, so uh... just running it by you guys for opinions.

Before anyone volunteers their domain or website, I have my own domain, so I'm likely to use it since I'm more familiar with it. But if you were thinking about volunteering, thanks for the thought, I appreciate it.

So, let the opinions come.

I'm kinda worried about the lack of response. I know I had one which was short enough to be counted as spam and deleted, but it was not very helpful, sad to say. I know it is festive season, so I'll wait until 14 or 15 of January before I conclude the matters I brought up, okay? Oh... if I'm still getting no responses until then, I'm going to assume that everyone agrees with me and I'll do things the way I wanted, alright?

e-mail: reanimation005@yahoo.com

please keep in mind that these are just my opinions (and possiblities?) - nothing more, nothing less:

1 - basically, as you stated Seluna-san, 3 topics per roleplay seems to be a bit much for one forum. instead, and this is only my opinion, it may be easier to have the OOC thread in a single location, such as the Dreamer's RP forum. this would make it easier to have conversations about roleplays without "cluddering" the forum on dreamers. it would be asking every roleplayer on dreamers to join the side forum, but this would keep the topic number / roleplay on dreamers the same without risking the spread of new ideas.

2 - that said, the side forum would remain.

3 - i would be all for this, although my normal rp activity is somewhat lacking.... my first rp was the free-form known as Dragon v. Phoenix, and through this, i learned the basics of roleplaying. as long as it doesn't become too free-form, i believe as well that it would serve as a relaxing environment.

4 - this would be completely beautiful. if i remember correctly, the normal human being is more visual than anything. as long as people are willing to create the banners, the activity may rise. the main problem i see in this is more people looking at the advertisements, joining, and quiting at the start of the rp. that would serve a problem, but the free-forms may somewhat balance that out.... maybe.

5 - the main problem i see in this is a forum crowded with archived masterpeices. it sounds nice, but as time passes, many more peices may be considered "masterpieces." other than that, it would serve as nice recognition, especially after such peices are deleted from dreamers.

What you mean is just what we are doing right now? With the main informations in another place while the discussion and IC remains where it is? If that's the case... what if we have the OOC threads in a seperate sub-forum here?


Actually I wasn't planning on making it a forum but website. If I'm not wrong, it'll be way easier to convert the html files I have saved into a site instead of a forum. As for what will be archived... well, I'm thinking that those that passes a certain minimum post count criteria gets archived but it's up for discussion.

This would work as well, but what i was referring to was placing the OOC in your side-forum -"Dreamers RP forum." The main problem with this is that every rp'er would have to join your side-forum, but that may not be much of a problem at all.

On another note -

Besides a slight skepticism, I completely support the idea of archiving masterpeices on rpgdreamers. Theoritically, however, it would be rather easy to meet the count despite the quality of the peice itself. If this was to be one of the criteria, the peices, in my opinion, should also be passed in front of a council of judges. The term "masterpeice" is subjective (unclear) in itself. Because of this, the judges depiction of masterpeice will help to clearly define what will/ will not be placed in the archive. Who would appoint the judges, however, i'm not sure.

edit: my apologies, Seluna-san; i did not realize the fact that it would be everyone's archive. that stated, any of my skepticism is hereby withdrawn.

Rean, I'm talking about archiving elsewhere. We already have an archive here but I like backing up things. And knowing myself, I'll back up everything that is vaguely useful, scrapping only those that aren't. But this is not exactly my private archive, is it not?

Sorry for double-posting but I forgot to reply to something.


That is quite a problem, actually, because not very many of our roleplayers have joined the forum and it is quite dead. Yes, I used it as a way to keep track of who are active but even active roleplayers here don't post there, so that function is nulled.

Would having a sub-forum for OOC and OCC (if created) be better? It would keep the IC and OOC topics on page 1 in their respective forum, considering we don't have quite that many roleplays. And I know I have a tendency to forget to check the second page, but will now have to remember to, since I added three topics in a go. (the Rowplei set, go check them out if you haven't ^^; )

By the way, when you said putting the OOC in Dreamers RP, you meant the important information for referencing, right? So, what if I go with my idea and split the discussion and information into two topics for non-freeform roleplays?

Announcement

It's been a week, so the ExRP threads are due to be deleted any time now. I'll do it when the final decision of what to do with ExRP forum comes out, so there's still a little time to save the information if you want to, but not much.

Under the RP Archive forum, I've slimmed down some of the OOC threads by taking out the discussion posts in them. I have left the posts in seperate topics pinned in the RP Archive forum, just in case anyone wants to save them (I have no idea why, but *shrug*) and will delete them in 24 hours.

Oh yea... I have not touched the OOCs with 11 pages or more, but when I have the time to, I will too. Just to let you guys know.

Again, does the lack of opinions here means that my idea of splitting OOC threads into OOC and Info threads then putting them into a sub-forum is accepted? Anyway, I'm going ahead with it if there is no response in 24 hours, okay?

Announcements

The ExRP topics and the archived discussion posts have been deleted.

Next step, when the Expanded RP Forum gets a name and description change, I'll move the OOC topics over to the sub-forum. Then, if there are no objections, I will start splitting of the OOC topics (mostly of the non-freeform roleplays) into OOC and Info threads.

In the future, when a roleplay is closed, only the IC and Info will be archived, and OOC will be deleted after a week. After that, I'll be filtering out the discussion posts in the old archived OOC topics.

If anyone does not like these changes that are being implemented, please voice up before all is settled so that it can be adjusted until the majority is comfortable with the new roleplay forum setting, not just me and selected few.

Announcement

ExRP Forum has been renamed as RP Information Forum, and the OOC and discussion topics have been moved. It'll take some using to (even for me), so if you're very uncomfortable with the change, do speak up. I'll see what I can do about it.

Next step, I'll be splitting the OOC topics. Once I have the time, that is.

I'm fine with it, jsut didn't have anything to say. just lettin ya know that my lack of posting in this is agreement to it. yeah. later

A short but important announcement.

1)

I have finished splitting up the topics in both the RP Information forum and the RP Archive forum, so that the profiles and important information are in the Info topics.

The OOC posts that has been splitted out are set for deletion, with the sole exceptions of the Draconian Chronicles and CyberWatch ver 6.351 OOC posts, which I'm leaving alone because they are excellent examples for interaction between RPers when RPing.

The OOC posts for the listed topics are going to be deleted in a week. If there is anything you want to archive from those topics, do so before they get deleted.

- Rowplei High Ep 1
- Magician Trials Revived
- Necropolis
- Metonian Sun: Frontline
- Night World: Wild Alliance

2)

I have decided to quit as a moderator. It's been nice having to watch over this forum like my own child, but it's starting to be too heavy a burden for me. I'll still be around, but I am a normal member now, like everyone else.

The Role Play Forum will be merged back into one forum.

Why, that makes it alot more cluttered and harder to sift through topics. OOC should still have their own subforum for the reason of straight access to character data than to dig through monotanous piles of dead roleplays and other roleplay's IC topics to get to them.

Considering this forum is not all that active. I'm not sure what you're refering to about clutter. Dead roleplays are sent to RP Archive Forum, if you see a dead RP, report it Vinsfeld and he'll move the topic to the RP Archive Forum. If you're in an active RP, then it's IC and OOC topic should be in the first page. The RP Forum has returned to it's original state and it will stay this way. If this forum is booming with activity and is actually clutter, then I'll consider giving the OCC topic their own forum again, but at this current time, it does not warrent having it's own sub-forum.

I'm working on a medieval RP and will try and have it up soon. I know with summer break coming close, many of us will have more free time. I hope this'll help kickstart the RP forum again.

Also, it won't be a freeform roleplay. It'll have a storyline that I'll guide everyone along after a little while.

Anyone who wants to get in contact with me:

MSN: AsukaChan1@hotmail.com

For the most part, no new RP's will be created until one of the current RP's finishes. Mainly, Fight High, Moonseeker, or Dragon vs. Phoenix II.
I believe 3 RP's running at one time is fair enough, and these RP's have been running for quite a while, I'm not sure whether any of them are anywhere near a close. Throw me a bone here...;; Depending on how far any of them are from the end, then I'll think of whether a new roleplay should be put up or not.

Anyways, as I am not "really" an active participant of the RP Forum, there are lots of things that I'd overlook or miss. So if you notice anything wrong, anything that needs to be done that involves moderator powers whether it be moving threads over to the RP Archive Forum (what exactly warrants a thread being moved over to the Archive Forum, btw?) or just deleted, new roleplays being created (to which the above applies) and anything else you can think of.

Thank you.

I can't speak for Fight High and Dragon vs Phoenix, but Moonseeker is near the end. I'll push for it to happen soon since it's unfair to keep new RPs waiting for the three of us.

PS. Vins-chan, can you move all the locked topics here to the archive sub-forum?

I think Fight High's getting pretty close to done, too. It all depends on how fast a pace Vern wants to take with it. I don't actually know though.

So yeah, we should be able to start some more soon.

There is one open slot for a new roleplay, besides Elhaym's. Anyone with anything ready, feel free to send me a PM.

I'm going to begin archiving RP that have inactive for than a month. If you don't want your RP locked, then you should post in the OOC or IC topic of your RP. I'll be archiving all inactive RP next Saturday. I'll give you time to decide resume your RP or not.

I have taken back my position, but expect me to be no more than a member with a vacuum cleaner. XD You can approach me with questions and approvals, and I'll probably do something with the rules to make the job for myself and all future mods easier, but I think that's about all the things I'll do for now.

So yeah, it's house-cleaning time.

PS. What Eva said in the post above mine is still in effect, do take note.

Because of what happened to the forum, the deadline is extended. As I don't think I have the concentration to do tedious forum stuff during weekdays, I'll do the spring cleaning next weekend. Okie dokies?

I just discovered something really stupid. The roleplays that have been inactive for more than a month are mine, and I have already closed them. The only other roleplay is Dungeons and Dragons, and it has this record-breaking six months of inactivity. So yeah, spring cleaning is called off because it doesn't really concern anyone else now. >.> Silly me.

Yes, another update/news thingy.

I have revised two of the RP forum rules to make things easier for myself and all future RP mods.


And also, because of what was brought up in the Discuss and Ask topic, I'm considering changing rule #4.


Please visit the topic and give your opinion regarding what I've proposed and what is your opinion about the whole matter.

lol i think u know my stance on rule 4

If any part of this is incoherent, I apologize. It's eight minutes 'til three in the morning, and I'm feeling just a little sleepy. Tomorrow, I'll double over this post.

The only suggestion I can think of is to reduce the number of experienced roleplayers needed to back the potential creator to either one or two.

1. I believe counting the circumstances, most members will take this route anyway. What I mean by this is that the liklihood of actually participating in a finished roleplay is rather slim as of now.

2. I know this goes without saying: Seluna, the current roleplay forum moderator, is an experienced in roleplaying. The fact that Sel would allow a new OOC thread to be created means that another experienced roleplayer is backing the thread's creation.

3. As far as knowledge of rules, etc. pertains, I can't see how someone who knows absolutely nothing about roleplays would be able to come up with a solid foundation, back-story, etc. As far as someone who fails to follow the etiquette of a roleplay (A.) one who makes numerous grammar mistakes will most likely make the same mistakes when sending in the roleplay for mod, etc. backing (B.) one unwilling to be polite, his/her roleplay may/may not continue due to lack of participation (C.) if one is godmodding, flaming, etc. refer to new rule #2.

Once again, I apologize if anything I have stated is found incoherent. If so, please inform me, for I may miss it when I'm reviewing it.

The thing being, sometimes there are good new roleplayers who have roleplayed elsewhere before they came here. Exire comes to mind, and frankly, I won't be surprised if Blood Rose is a good roleplayer too, considering his grasp and usage of the language.

But I cannot make exception for them from the rules that restricts all new roleplayers because I think they are of more potential. But like Dart said, the rule seems to be pushing them away. So a revision of the rules is in order.

Basically, I'm proposing that I cut back the number of experienced roleplayers needed to vouch, to one or two, or none at all. Moderator's approval is still needed, and in the case where no vouching is required, the mod will have to decide for his/herself.

However, the chances of the mod being biased is higher. For example... there is one new RP slot, and I like Verner better than Dart () so I choose to approve Verner's RP instead of Dart, even if they are of the same quality or Dart's one is better. I and the future mods are not perfect, there are bound to be times that we will be tempted to do such a thing.

The other idea I propose is to have a thread where all roleplayers, new or old, shall post their new roleplays there and the RPers get to vote for what RPs they want to take part in. If the minimum amount of votes required is reached, the RP gets to go up. Of course, I'll set a requirement to screen and prevent 'hi, wan rp?' topics. This way, the decision rests on the RPers. To prevent new roleplayers from getting their friends to join and vote it up that way, a minimum (single-figured) IC post count is required.

What do you guys think? Keep in mind that the system that I propose will stay even after I am no longer a moderator. Perhaps even until after a new mod gets chosen.

As I have stated in my previous post, I agree with this decision in all aspects but one. It would be much to easy for one who has just created a roleplay, newb or not, to run to the moderator and request approval; whereas, whether or not one has backing by an "experienced roleplayer" may be part of the screening process.

As to the exact number, one or two, of experienced roleplayers needed to vouch, I left it open, because it would be nice to hear more input from others on the matter. Just a thought...



Actually, I find this idea to be rather intriguing. On top of the original screening (of vouchings, etc.), to be able to grant the members of dreamer's roleplaying community what they would like to play out, keep in mind that I am speaking more so of the majority, then one would hope forum activity would increase.

Theoretically, if all the roleplays produced, at least until this forum gets out of its rut, were to the likings of the majority of rp'ers, the number of drop outs may decrease as well, although this has been proven untrue more than once...

Edit:
As for the roleplay that is not chosen by the majority, I propose it be archived, either by the creator, or by the forum, to be brought out when the next "roleplay election" begins. People's thoughts and feelings toward certain subjects changes as time progresses. I can recall that when Moonseekers first started, I shyed away from it due to my sentiments toward the religious aspect, but now I tend more so to regret the decision.

I just realised that I have discussions on the same matter in two topics. Lol.

Anyway, rean's point is taken. Now, ^^ please discuss this at the Discuss and Ask topic. I would move the post but it'll seem redundant over in that topic.

*Edit* Please discuss this in this topic: LINK

Announcement

The rule regarding creation of new roleplays has officially been changed. The FAQ has also been editted to fit and is now placed in the sub-forum. The Basic Guidelines for new roleplay creation has also been pinned in the sub-forum, so go check them all out if you want.

The RP Incubation Forum has been up for a few days now, and it's open for new roleplays. If you have a new RP that fulfills the most basic guidelines, go ahead and post it. Advertise and do whatever you want (reasonably). Currently, there are quite a few opened slots for main RPs, so yeah, take the chance and be a RP creator, if you think you're up for it.

Just a quick note to Rpers, go to http://www.rpgdreamersforum.com/index.php?...48170&st=30
and read about the Review thread idea and post your replies there.

Pretty much a quick question, but has anybody ever made a RP where it was kinda like a Bobobo free-form (not based on the Bobobo at all), where nothing made sense?

Uh? Nothing makes sense? Well, I have created a few freeforms, but none of it really evolved into lacking sense... So yeah, nope.

What is Bobobo?

It's a weirdo whacked out anime where a guy uses his nose hairs to attack people, and another kid's called Gasser and uses his bodily functions as a weapon.
