Steve Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Ok, I've been noticing that sideways is doing a lot of baby sitting work on the RP area and I think it's time for you guys to help him a little bit. So I'm going to take some of his burden out. For now and on, problems related to BEHAVIOR of ANY kind, will be addressed to me with pms, even if that involves a member not going along with the story, and things like that. I'm forced to do that because Sideways has to be reading every RP in order to keep everything in order, which is something he SHOULDN'T be doing all the time. He is going to take care of the RP requests and judge whenever a RP is done, and SOMETIMES read them, if he has the time. I want you guys to be mature and responsible, and with this I mean, if you are going to issue a pm, think TWICE before sending it, make SURE it's a problem and not just something selfish, because in order to get things straight, I will have to read some of the RP and that's extra work. Until we put an extra RP mod, things will be managed like this. This new RP organization was my whole idea, so it's subject to change from the other staff members if they don't agree/have a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well, the main issue with that board is behavior. That is why I closed it to begin with, and why I sought an RP mod.But, as long as someone is watching the behavior, I do not care. You're the lead moderator, so it's your call.Personally, I have neither to time nor the desire to do it myself, so if there is a breakdown in moderation of the board, then I will just close it again.Or, there is this alternative, create a single, centrally-controlled, RP like they used to do in the old days of the fandom.

DZComposer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well, my current thought is this:It would have one single story, IE Corneria and Venom at war.There would be an established sit of rules for how the RP is to be played.People can only be one character, and it must be THEIR character, not a canon one.turn-based battles.Disobey the rules, and b&.I did a little googling to see if there were any software I could use to create a more featured text RPG (you know, with shops and such), but everyone who runs a text RP seems to be a programmer who has written their own stuff. I have neither the time nor patience to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm just saying, whenever I have the time, I'll try to lend a hand on the RP board, as long as I get directed to the problem, otherwise, I won't check anything. I'm not a RP person nor do I lurk that part of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted September 1, 2009 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted September 1, 2009 I have experience on another forum RPing. I like the idea of having the RP be one giant world. We RP with transformers and so the RP section basically is one world and we play our characters. Each RP thread is a different location - like Earth, or Iacon, or Cybertron streets. Our characters move from one RP to the next, like a story. I find it easier to keep track of exactly what my allies are doing. It also helps that our RP section is slower then a doornail and the story crawls along, but nobody minds - it's all fun. The only issue I could forsee is people arguing over who gets what character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
