Enma Kozato Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 well if basic did come back then the forum would overflow with them thus eliminating the adaptation of the RPer i know i sound like im contradicting my own thought but im simply pointing to my other suggestion a mediator between advanced and basic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Espada_Gin~ Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 maybe make a rule that after a rp gets to a certain point after they stop accepting that they switch to advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 No' date=' that's the thing. If you keep basics, a noob will have a damn good chance to not improve unless an advanced joins in. Most advanced RPers don't or won't because it's a basic. Having more advanced RPs allows for advanced RPers to join RPs. If noobs join, that begins a subconscious teaching process. In an aspect.[/quote'] Are you saying that some of the advanced RPers don't want share their wisdom with the newbs? Because, one of the fun parts in an RP is teaching the newbies how to play. At least one advanced RPer would join a basic RP because they find it interesting and because it creates alternatives to the advanced RP.

Big Bad Pennar Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Chase reccomends a new clause that prevents really.short basic post but does not require an extremely long advanced post I hope for YCM's sake that this was sarcastic. That was my original Aim' date=' believe it or not, but i now have a few other "Alternate Aims"[/quote'] I commented like that merely because the advance clause doesn't force an extremely long post. 3-4 sentences isn't that long.  I'm interested in these 'alternate aims' however.Are you a bit forgetful my friend? I had 2 of them, One was More Teaching RPs, The Second was....

The Warden Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yes, it is absolutely true that some people just want to enjoy an RP without holding a newbies' hand. Of course, when it comes to full fledged RPs, time tells those who are dedicated as those who joined drop away. So maybe, as suggested before, maybe a [RP School] Tag could suffice. Then the newbies have a place to learn the RP skills for advanced, and thus basic RPs may drop away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenrir Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Broken's suggesting of a school tag sounds good. But there would have to be a list of people aloud to make one like that. After all, there are several people that want to help, but compared to what they know, probably aren't suitable for it. No' date=' that's the thing. If you keep basics, a noob will have a damn good chance to not improve unless an advanced joins in.

We just want a whole bunch of random sheet, without a storyline, plot, or thesis. Just throw it around.  In other words, SPAM. And it's funking forbidden.

The Warden Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I made the suggestion because I remember seeing a previous RP school before. But as Flandre pointed out, when joining RP's it always comes down to preference. I certainly know that feeling because I only join RPs I like.

~Espada_Gin~ Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 No i mean start sub plots and on this you dont have to follow many rules but you can just kind of post some comedy in their is more than one main storyline and each person can have their personal story and have no one argue with them about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otaku-sama Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well, these arguements are simply in vain because the mods aren't posting here, so one can assume they are not reading this thread either.

Even when mods have commented, it's usually completely putting anothers suggestion down. I've begun to feel that the mods themselves have forgotten what it feels like to be the ones NOT in charge, and have lost touch with us, the rp members and our opinions. Either that, or they don't want to read all the constant debating over Advanced on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaku-sama Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I believe it's the latter. They have comment here positively when my idea of a tag system was gaining popularity. I think now the mods just want to make everything uniform to reduce the maintainance of keeping Basic RPs from becoming common spam. They are setting the bar high, but I don't see it affecting new RP members. I just saw two Level 1s join an Advanced RP I'm in with decent grammar and such. Maybe mandatory AC isn't all bad...
