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.

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. You don't toss a toddler into a pool, hand him a ball and expect him to play water polo now do you?

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.... God i can't remember

 

I actually have a bit of a Clause in Mind.....

Touche~

 

I'm not saying that Advanced RPers don't want to help. (I for one was one of the first to support the AP Clause.) I'm saying that there are some, that don't help in any way.

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.

I'm sorry... But i must say for the Bolded

 

OBJECTION!!!!!

 

I only Join RPs that are interesting only to me, Not just because it's Advanced, doesn't mean that they are going to have a good plot

 

and Out of Irony, of all of the RPs that i had joined while the Tag system was up.... only 2 were advanced......

 

I do not favor Basic RPs at all, Just ones with a great plot or ones that give me a Nostalgic Feeling

This is also what i was aiming for......

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.

Yes, but here's what it comes down to...

 

You can find an RP with a great plot but horrible quality.

 

Or you can find an RP with a mehish plot and amazing quality.

 

Which would keep you interested longer?

this is true if we dont have basic for noobs then we have no one to take over rp once we are gone so its like a lost thing out there and no one will ever play and advanced are not all that great i have been in basic that are better than advanced in basic you get to have more of a free power and not have to stick to a story line the whole time and open a new hole in the story

Yes, because we don't want a well thought out plot with directed actions. 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.

Forgot 2 more Factors, if one asks Nicely, I will read the Plot and if i like it, I join, the other is a Nostalgic Title

 

As for the question:

 

The RP with a great plot but horrible quality, because i like to make people go "WTF", Although i find it strange that every RP that Dies always seems to have one of My Posts at the end

To whoever suggested the school tag' date=' we tried something like that in the past with the [TEACHING'] tag, but enthusiasm waned quickly.

 

OBJECTION!

 

It was more the fact that mods barely posted.

 

Or am I wrong,

 

Herr Rinne?

 

-gasp from jury-

 

So it would be difficult to take on the [Teaching] Tag without a dedicated set of teachers correct?

 

EDIT: I know that feeling Flandre.

Well' date=' these arguements are simply in vain because the mods aren't posting here, so one can assume they are not reading this thread either. This concludes that the mods either are offline a lot or they don't want our opinions or ideas on how the RP forum is governed.

[/quote']

 

This is exactly how I feel. 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.

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...
