Yes, to summarize my entire input into RP as a whole right now:
RPing as a person is easier than RPing as part of a group.
RPing as a group is dangerous because it can lead to the RP being closed off and outsiders not participating (bumuming that the goal is to get the outsiders to participate, which is what my goal has always been).
RP as a whole would (in my opinion) benefit from outsiders participating since it rejuvenates the storyline.
RP that seems too closed off leads to people a) considering it TL;DR (even though I read it anyway because I just like RP, gosh) or b) not something they feel comfortable participating in.
ETA: I think that the “closed-off group” idea applies to SRSLY RP as well as TGC — I’m not singling anyone out with this. Natalie Petrov edited this message on 07/19/2008 9:07PM |

So we should all just be re-res and Trolls then? I mean I get what you are saying, but if what you are saying is true, then the problem is largely with the game itself, since we only have so many clbumes to choose from, and apparently no one is open to RP that is too far outside the box. Not completely disagreeing with you there though. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! |

See, my take on it is that there are hundreds of threads in fwz that I don’t enjoy, don’t feel are my cup of tea, or are tl;dr. I stick to the ones I enjoy. I don’t play domination, but I don’t complain that the domination players don’t make me feel welcome. They’re not rolling out the red carpet, but if I was really interested, I’d find a way to get involved.
There are valid points here, but I also don’t think that every thread has a responsibility to engage and entertain the entire community. If a few people are entertained, even if it’s just the thread participants, where’s the problem in that?
I’m not going to go into my reasons for backing off roleplay, but will just say that the forums as they stand are simply not conducive to any kind of RP, whether it be out-there like spy RP or down to earth. Log in to see images! |

i was commenting on the state but as it stands the easiest paths are rere and troll mostly because most people want to troll and the fact that you can pretty much do anything with rere camwhore is possible but the only person who i ever noticed doing it well that was entertaining was escher episode 2 won’t change anything either if it ever comes out the only clbum i’ve heard of is hacker (and permanoob but that’s just rere) how are you supposed to roleplay with tha t Log in to see images! |

As it stands, RPing on Forumwarz feels like putting on a play, naked, while people jeer at you. You’re certainly not likely to put on the performance of your life, even bumuming that the script isn’t garbage.
I’m not going to blame the audience, because that’s a coward’s move… but either way, it feels pointless. |

Yeah, I really can’t imagine why new players don’t roleplay. It’s hard to figure out what could be keeping them from trying anything new… Log in to see images! |

Good question I have no idea. I do agree that some clbumes are just much easier to roleplay with than others too, re-re and troll are p. easy really.
Still though, I don’t like every thread I see, in fact most of them are just boring to me, so I just ignore them and move on to ones I think I can do something with, or else I read for the fun and stay out of it so I don’t **** it up.
I don’t see why that is so hard to do. Why not just ignore**** you don’t like but is at least roleplay? I guess that’s my opinion, other people seem to think that every thread should be hugely entertaining to everyone…I just don’t see how that is possible Log in to see images! Log in to see images! |

And since this is in a roleplay forum, (which doesn’t seem to mean roleplay to many, it seems to mean “get away with being your own self but pretend it’s roleplaying if anyone calls you on it” ), I don’t see any point in trying to have a serious discussion. I appreciate those who seem to really be trying to have a dialog, but have long since learned that dialogs on fwz are more often than not just a long, poorly-disguised lead-up to a troll war.

To clarify: I have no issue with a thread not being entertaining to everyone. I have no issue with a thread being interesting only to the people in it. I have no issue with closed-off story arcs in RP. I have no issue with any of that.
However, since I started SRSLY to encourage RP, I am very interested in what causes RP to stagnate and what prevents it from spreading. As a result, I have attempted to figure out what hinders some threads from taking off — so that’s why I’ve noted that closed-off story arcs do tend to lead to people not participating. It’s not a criticism at all, only a note as to what I can try to do to improve. |

I took what you said the way you meant it, as constructive criticism from somoeone who is very interested in RP and how it works best. I understood you no problem here. Log in to see images! Log in to see images! Log in to see images! |

Yes, you’re right. A dialog was had here by nana and natalie. You were not in any way participating in a dialog. I was not either, since I just gave my opinion, and was not responded to in a meaningful way, therefore did not respond back.
Again, roleplaying forum, so license to be an bumhole. Not conducive to discussion.
