RP Subforum Purpose Poll - Please Read!

[PrimalFear]

I have a suggestion Rinne though it posses the process of seeing if FP will make the third section again.

 

1: Casual; a bit of a mix between advanced rping and basic rping. This could consist of less sentence's posted as long as things are covered to the best of the writers abilities. Keep the rule about no scripting. Keep the rule about grammar, I hate reading someone's writing and not knowing what they mean. Theirs also a tone more that can be limited or added. But you get the basics of it.

 

2: OOC/Planning: you've all ready know what this does but this would ensure that we get it as well. It is needed and will better the rp as a whole whether it be for the basic, casual, or advanced.

 

3: Advanced: you also know what this is for.

[Michico]

keep the ac.

I did have to change with force too,so the rest too.

It will make you a more skilled roleplayer.

But however,how about a sub-board where people can start roleplaying schools?

so they can help newbies getting used to ac?

We ais keeping advanced clause you speak of, we is planning a subforum.

 

ANYWAY, I was wondering when the poll ended.

[Magnet Soldier]

Michico, no offence but you seem to be one of them that doesn't seem to obey the advanced clause. In many Rps I have been in with you, your posts are two or three lines long.

[Michico]

i didn't like most of them.

if i do like it,my posts are sometimes around 10 lines.

[Magnet Soldier]

Well, in the ones I've been in with you, they are mostly three or two. And the ones that look ten are still only three or four because you like to do the

formatting

thing.

End

of

Discussion.

[Michico]

you know,im beginning to don't like you anymore.

[Magnet Soldier]

And bad grammar. But I did say no offence. I'm sorry for insulting you. Please accept my apologies.

[Michico]

well,look,that was a long time ago that format editting.Im not doing it anymoar,k?end of discussion.

 

Also,dont create a ooc forum,that would suck :(

[Yu-gi-oh Dude]

I would vote A, but I don't get why you won't put post count on it.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

@Raiser - Aw' date=' I'm stupid just because I want to roleplay for fun now?

 

Honestly. Out of all the things that screwed with this section, the AC screwed it up the most. Honestly. Heaps of threads died, all the [u']fun roleplayers[/u] left/got banned, etc. And that is what was known as the Annihilation, in YCM terms, if anyone knows what that is now. And I agree at some terms that the AC rule DID screw up alot, but not fully. Just like it says here, it screwed up MOST of it.

 

If we have two sections, it would bring more people in, and eventually, we mgith be able to slowly let the saplings of the roleplayers here grow and move into the Advanced Section, until eventually we don't need it anymore. Exactly how I feel. Forcing roleplayers to go directly into advance RPing will not make them better, it will only make them confused and worried. People, please. We all need to crawl before we can go, aye?

 

The AC was forced growth, and some couldn't do it, as they weren't the best at roleplaying. And as we all know as well, forced growth ain't good. It only makes the taste bitter and sour in your mouth as you taste the fruit of efforts.

 

I say Advanced vs Basic - since the Advanced Clause trial' date=' it killed off half the fun of RPing, which made me extremely tempted to quit YCM as a result. And anyway, I like RPing in Basic RPs once in a while. IMO, RPing in Advanced and Basic is like a working person's day - Advanced is like going to work for the day, and Basic's like going home and relaxing.[/quote']

 

I go for the Advanced VS. Basic option here, since even if I can make decent, AC-acceptable posts, I do prefer to RP just for teh lulz sometimes. RPing is supposed to be fun, y'know? Sure, a decent plot and some nice, properly made application forms are good too, but the heart of a really good RP is that everyone is having fun and not forcing themselves to write lines.

 

Yes, I am aware that it's only a few lines extra, maybe three-four lines more to the maximum, but let me ask you something; don't you all miss the good ol' days, when RPing was for fun and everyone were happy about the RPing on YCM? I do, sometimes. So if Basic RPers want to develop slowly, let them do it I say. Separating the RP section into Basic and AC will give more people the opportunity to RP on their own standards, and not forced to go into full-scale AC the moment they join. And eventually, some may aspire into the Advanced roleplaying standards. The process may be slower than forcing new RPers into AC, but it pays off more in the end.

[Umbra]

[/quote']

 

Don't you miss the good ol' days, when an Advanced Clause was not even considered, or even thought of, as every roleplayer in this section followed it subconsciously without hesitation?

 

Of course you don't, you weren't there.

 

The Advanced Clause was not "forced growth", it was adaption. It did not "screw up" anything, it made things better. Those who say it took the fun out of roleplaying: It did not. Don't blame the Advanced Clause just because your RP isn't fun. I have never heard the term "Annihilation" used for the instating of the Advanced Clause, but I assume it did annihilate some of our worse roleplayers

 

This "crawling" you speak of would be basic ability to write and an understanding of the English language, which I assume most of our members have obtained from school already.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

All I am saying is still that if we let the aspiring RPers proceed on their own accords, the process of getting more decent RPers will be slower, but it will be more fortunate in the end. Don't rush the whole process, but let it adapt and grow into something bigger. And I am sure most of the users here have an understanding of the English language, but this "crawling" I am speaking of is actually that some people may not be too willing to write so much just to RP and have fun. You just have to wait patiently until that will grows into them.

[Jeroukoo]

Rinne this idea is genius. I do agree that the non advanced rping was a basic thing to get posts. I overreacted when the Advanced Clause took place and quit this site for a year I think. Looking back on it, I enjoyed the regular shortpost rping, mostly because the rps usually ended, unlike some rps that go on right now. Making a basic rping forum that doesn't affect post count would be a very good idea, this might bring back some old users back to rping and might encourage users to try out the new advance clause. Overall, this idea is a very good one, so i would very much enjoy it if Basic rping was brought back.

look at that, the advance clause is making me type more. I probably would of said

THIS IDEA IS AWESOME SAUCE AND PWNS.

back when I was a noob.

[Umbra]

You just have to wait patiently until that will grows into them.

 

I grew tired of waiting - thus, I instated the Advanced Clause trial period last Autumn. At least six months have passed since then, and we have had a mandatory Advanced Clause for a few months now. My patience is running out.

 

And Jeroukoo, why would enabling a forum where players aren't encouraged to follow the Advanced Clause make them want to follow it? I stand by my first post: Being able to skip a part of the Rules just because you want to is a bad idea.

[Jeroukoo]

That what it was like for me. I saw many advance rps in the forum so I decided to try it out. Found out it wasn't that hard to post that much. Maybe members might look around that advanced forum and try out one advance rp, find they like it and start advance rping. But if that doesn't happen, at least people can take a break from advanced rping every while and again.

[Hikariattacks]

Im not doing this to ruin or criticise any of the idea's but the split of 'ac' and 'basic' roleplaying has a huge flaw. Several people will end up posting in the ac section despite not being able to obey the rules. it's easy enough em to ban them, but more and more users will post in there, main members of the advanced will get annoyed and start complaining and another change will need to be made

 

personally, I believe that needs a look over

[Otaku-sama]

I have thought of a potential problem for the split of the RP section: Which mod will moderate the Basic RP section. I have a feeling it will become a game of hot potato between our three RP mods. But I digress.

 

The split between the two styles of RPing will allow RPers to grow at their own pace. Perhaps we can further divide the two sections into Full Advanced and Advanced for the Advanced Section and Freeform and Learning for the Basic Section

 

Full Advanced: RPing with the current AC or with even more rules. For the people who are completely able to handle an intensive RP

 

Advanced: While following the AC, these RPs will be less intensive and more forgiving for the migrating Basic RPer who wishes to test their abilities.

 

Learning: Despite being in the Basic Section, these RPs have line count minimums, grammar and spelling requirements and other AC-esque features that will ease the transition between the Basic and Advanced sections.

 

Freeform: Raw RPing. Do whatever you want, your posts aren't counted anyways.

Meh, I'm getting the impression that actually having negotiations about getting a split from Pizza is a windfall in itself. I doubt it's practical to expect four sections from the get-go... Actually, that setup would be a nice setup to ultimately achieve, but probably only once we see how a general Basic/Advanced split works.

 

Actually, with a Basic forum, we might finally have a chance to have a standardized, Stickied Role-playing school that has actual students.

 

I still prefer the idea of an OOC section, but from the looks of the poll, it appears I've been outvoted. Oh well. Not like I'd complain about a Basic/Advanced split.

[Otaku-sama]

No, I mean a tag system within the split. I really don't expect four sections, just four divisions, marking different stages in evolving into an Advanced RPer.

[Hydra of Ages]

Oh, well that's different, obviously. Seems like an interesting idea, tag divisions within the obvious divisions themselves. I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary, but the order offered alone is appealing to me.

[Compass]

As a firm supporter of the basic clause, the first one works well. I have a few friends who left this forum for other ones just because of the advanced clause being implemented...You have my vote for Basic/advanced rping subforums!

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

I grew tired of waiting - thus' date=' I instated the Advanced Clause trial period last Autumn. At least six months have passed since then, and we have had a mandatory Advanced Clause for a few months now. My patience is running out. [b']Patience is a virtue, my friend. Even the most successful ones must accept and respect the aspiring ones. I fully accept those who still do Basic RPing, because I know that one day, they will be encouraged to RP on the Advanced Clause level. You just have to wait for awhile, and really, if that is so hard, then I guess that you're just a really impatient being. :/[/b]

 

And Jeroukoo, why would enabling a forum where players aren't encouraged to follow the Advanced Clause make them want to follow it? I stand by my first post: Being able to skip a part of the Rules just because you want to is a bad idea. I don't see this as "skipping a part of the rules". I just see this as a good opportunity to start from the grounds, learn your way up, and finally reach the AC level. As I said, all one needs is patience.

[Kaisu]

Another Tag system?

 

Eh, I'm not so sure about that.

 

Other than that, it seems like the AC-BSC split has been locked.

[Bassa]

With Basic Vs Advanced, how are you going to stop people who are not advanced RPers posting in the Advanced section?
