Isn't Role Playing just a Live version of a Fan Fiction?

I mean, even the extreme Role Players say that going back and reading old Role Plays is like reading a book and or Fan Fiction, which in relational terms, is the same as a book, chapter by chapter.

 

It would be better suggesting a Forum for Writing, so that both Fan Fiction and Role Play may go under it. As well has Literature, other wise you would have two forums taking up space in a forum entitled 'Yu-Gi-Oh'.

In a way, I guess you could say that, but Role-Playing is ALOT different from writing a Fan-Fic. When writing a Fan-Fic, you write as you would a book in a different universe. When Role-Playing, you play a specific and go in-depth into their feelings and their actions with other characters.

 

Also, isn't Your Deck just a place for Decks to go for the Yugioh TCG, that has it's own section? That validates it just by itself. Also, you weren't here before, but Card Trade was under 'Yugioh' before too, and no-one complained about that being there despite the fact that the whole forum was locked.

Well, Your Deck and TCG are both 'Yu-Gi-Oh' Related forums. One could argue that Role Play and Fan Fiction could be a 'Yu-Gi-Oh' Related forum, but they are in briefest of terms both Writing or Literature Forums.

 

Now I am not against the separation of these two forums. I believe that the separation would be best served if they were to be moved under an appropriate Parent Forum.

While I agree' date=' the chances of that happening are... substantially low.

So you would rather shoot for a "solution" that will just make another "problem" arise?

The problem being that the Main Index would be longer, thus making the Parent Forum 'Yu-Gi-Oh' even more cluttered.

It doesn't making it cluttered at all' date=' like I previously said- when Card Trade was there no-one said anything about it.

[/quote']

 

That you know of, it could have been talked about behind the scenes.

Being that it was a Card Trading Forum -I am assuming people were actually trading cards in it- the thought that it could come back, was probably the factor behind the reasoning no one mentioned it.

 

Brushfire, what I am beginning to see here - Trust me I don't want to see it- is that your just suggesting ideas just to add more suggestions to your list that were accepted.

Because for one, I see no reason for separating these two forums within the current Parent Forum they are in.

It makes no sense what so ever -actually it makes as much as sense as why they are located in their current Parent Forum to begin with-.

 

But I fear that I have repeated this point at least two times already, and must leave this discussion perhaps for another time.

What?

 

No seriously... What?

 

The only real thing in common with fan fics and role playing is that it involves writing and creativity.

 

For a story, you only need yourself. You don't require anyone else to write a story. Role playing you always need someone else. You can't do a role play by yourself. (Unless you suffer from a personality disorder >_<) The thing is, everyone has a different take on a character. For example. I write a story and make the villain a greedy, yet intelligent tactician. Yet I make a role play with the same plot and give the position to someone else, let's say Dark Phoenix. While I made him a greedy tactician, Phoenix could make him an arrogant bastard, or however he envisions a villain.

 

It's precisely because of this that differs role playing from fan fiction. A story is all written under one author, and thus eventually it might become predictable. A role play can change at the drop of a dime, simple by the decision of one or two players.

 

So really I don't see a reason to keep Role play with fan fiction. Instead, it would be lovely if fan fiction gained a sub forum for discussing pieces of literature and maybe poetry? Oh, and it would be nice if they make a sub forum for role playing, allowing some annoying basic-ers to shut up. But I see the latter really not happening.

To cancel out your own argument- I see 55 other people who agree with me. Now shut up accusing me of suggesting things to help promote myself' date=' now shut up.

 

It makes perfect sense, and both I and others have explained that in this thread. Stop it with your assumptions.

[/quote']

 

Can I not say why I think something is happening?

You do that plenty enough already.

By the way, I do apologize about that. But the reasoning behind your suggestion felt lackluster to me.

 

Yes 55 people agree with you, I don't and I gave you my reasoning, I also stopped when I realized I was just repeating it.

The only thing remotely related to Fan Fiction and Role Playing to the Forum 'Yu-Gi-Oh', as absolutely nothing.

For one, the forum specifically says 'post your Fan Fiction and Role Plays about Yu-Gi-Oh' here. This has been breached many times, yes I do realize that the Moderators have allowed this because those restrictions are too narrow -back to this point later-.

Secondly, the forum Anime has the same restrictions and the Moderators again have bypassed this with good intentions. But the Anime Forum should be in the Multi-Media Forum, as it is Multi-Media.

Now, what is the point in separating two forums that both deal with writing and not giving them their own Parent Forum? You kill two birds with one stone and annihilate them completely.

 

Now Icyblue mentioned the Moderators are discussing this issue, why can't anyone see why moving Fan Fiction and Role Play into a Parent Forum dedicated to Writing, is the best option here?

Splitting these two things in the current forum -A forum not even related to the sub forums, is completely redundant- Can I not make myself anymore clearer?

No he didn't' date=' he said all the Moderators agreed with the suggestion.

[/quote']

 

This has been agreed on by all the mods' date=' [b']and has been posted for suggestion.[/b] So yeah...

 

The Moderators may say yes, but they don't make the final decision now do they?

They you should have mentioned that the Admins were discussing it' date=' not the Moderators. Don't make a direct statement that doesn't make sense.

 

No, it's ultimately up to FP and YCMaker. And it's up them, not you.

[/quote']

 

Pardon me your slight structural error in your sentence threw me off a bit.

Were you stating that I should have said the Administrators were discussing it?

 

They put the suggestion up for discussion between the Administrators correct?

He said all the Moderators agreed to it, correct?

 

A part from that, there are only three things that could happen. The Administrators could say, Yes, they could say No, and they could say nothing at all.

If their final decision is not a Yes, then the topic is still up for discussion is it not?

 

Either way, I never said it was up to me. I never said I didn't want it to happen, just not in the way you seem to think is right, or settling for something less than the other solution?
