nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: That and, as i’ve said in that thread, a lot of their rp failed to engage their audience
8:55PM
Natalie: Yes, that is BANG ON.
8:55PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: It was thing that felt closed off to the rest of forumwarz
8:55PM
Natalie: That is one of the best insights that I think there’s been.
8:55PM
elenaratelimit: their rp was tl;dr
8:55PM
elenaratelimit: for rp to be TL it has to be interesting
8:55PM
AAHZ: sillyness
8:55PM
Natalie: The inability to participate in RP because you don’t feel as though you’re part of it, or you worry that by posting you’ll overstep some boundary.
8:55PM
SIG-ENABLING MOCK-CONGLER: well at least they seemed to enjoy it
8:55PM
Natalie: I think that is absolutely a major aspect of the RP issue within ForumWarz.
8:55PM
SIG-ENABLING MOCK-CONGLER: if no one else did
8:55PM
elenaratelimit: i read 2 sentences then spaced out and started diddling myself
8:56PM
elenaratelimit: i can’t read that **** ****
8:56PM
SIG-ENABLING MOCK-CONGLER: as long as theyre having fun who cares right?
8:56PM
Natalie: Sure, they enjoyed it, but the idea of RP is to get others involved, to get them inspired, to get them participating, and if it feels that removed, then that’s not going to happen.
8:56PM
elenaratelimit: I CARE
8:56PM
elenaratelimit: DEEPLY
8:56PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: Definitely
8:56PM
Natalie: No, no, we’re not CRITICIZING the RP per se. The RP was good — the lack of ability for outsiders to participate was the downfall.
8:56PM
SIG-ENABLING MOCK-CONGLER: well you dont have to read their terrible investigation **** yanno
8:56PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: And the reason why I keep touting Briddy’s rping so much is that while you weren’t able to particpate with her, it was ****ing hilarious
8:56PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: Which was the payoff for reading it
8:56PM
Natalie: I think that’s the real key to the whole issue, which means that if we can figure out how to open up RP THAT way, then we can address the issue.
8:57PM
Natalie: Who was she RPing as?
8:57PM
Natalie: Fact?
8:57PM
Natalie: Which I misspelled three times — impressive for four letters.
8:57PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: Yeah, Fact
8:57PM
elenaratelimit: i like RPing that is more like a ‘person’ posting in a character rather than a thread where ‘things happen’ but that’s just me
8:57PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: Sig, we’re not trying to leave RP alone, we’re trying to help it
8:58PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: And I agree with elenaratelimit, I usually just space out if the story in the rp doesn’t catch my attention
8:58PM
SIG-ENABLING MOCK-CONGLER: well you guys are in fact one of the original troll klans
8:58PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: AND I AGREE WITH elenaratelimit AGAIN
8:58PM
nanathunderjesus gets you LIGHTNING IN YOUR FIST: I like characters. :3
8:58PM
Natalie: elenaratelimit: I think that it’s easier to RP a character in general because you can react to a character more easily than you can to an RP story arc that seems closed off.
8:59PM
elenaratelimit: Natalie: yeah if you miss a few pages you are kind of left out
8:59PM
elenaratelimit: and if it doesnt interest me i wont read it =\ i am lazy
8:59PM
Thanks, that makes sense.
