fenrir Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm known as one of the "Impaired People". The people that tempest is possibly talking about are the mentally disabled kids' date=' which I'm one of them(Although i don't seem like it)...... I Swear, It times Rinne, And this is JUST at Rinne, you are just as bad as my dad, Actively desiring a "Perfect world" but alas, you are so stubborn as to imagine yourself in that world at all times, and not believing anything else, and you try to enforce it, but fail epically.... One thing that just told me that you were impaired is not knowing what impaired is...... My heart is starting to lean towards RPadise, because they have more freedom than this site in terms of RPs, yet, they had some great RPing....[/quote'] Don't go around acting like you're perfect too. Think about it, a mentally impaired kid would probably not even have the capability of finding YCM, registering, and deciding to RP. No offense really, but I just don't see that happening. Rinne's not trying to make YCM 'perfect'. It's waaaaaaaaaaay too late for that. He's simply trying to make it better. Also, don't advertise RPadise. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Dahlia Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 oh and tempest' date=' Line 1 of your stricter basic clause is actually one part of my NG clause Edit: Illiteracy you mean?[/quote'] l mean ppl hu tawk liek dis en rpeez.

Proto Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Honestly if you mean mentally disabled as having asperger's syndrome then I'm a part of that clause. Not that that effects my roleplaying abilities anyway whatsoever but I suppose that Tempest is trying to say people with little mental problems. May not be able to follow these rules.

Tempest Dahlia Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 No no no >_<That's not what i'm getting at.l mean the people who don't even try/Think thy're good when they RP like idiots. I'm not talking about IRL impaired. l'm talking about "RP impaired". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proto Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Makes enough sense, like that guy who was trying to act all high and mighty to Rinne that posted one=liners. Who was that guy again.... he's on the tip of my tongue. Oh yes I believe that poor fellows name was mister Zenrais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 *Drums fingers on desk* Maybe we should get back to discussing how to make this place better instead of biting each other's head off and get back on track here. Perhaps we should take a look at what Dahlia suggested instead of discussing retarded people. l think the former rules for Basic should be revamped. Something like a "Mini-Advanced Clause" -2-3 sentences minimum-grammar' date=' punctuation, etc. should be at an acceptable level (Stop the shorthand typing)- I still think characters should be fully developed instead of 1 sentence bio's. Characters are what make RP's. lf you can't make a decent character, just imagine how you RP. Well? Not much changed, but this way, smaller RPers have more time to learn, and right after, skip right into Advanced.[/quote'] 2-3 sentences minimum is a good idea, because at some point in time for any RPer you can't really make any more of a post than that.Grammar and spelling is generally required and therefore not really needed in the rules because it is common knowledge, ut it can serve as a reminder i guess.That is unjustified, some people develop as they go without bios, it is purely optional, but it explains what the character was like beforehand and why they are what they are. Little to no bio supports the 'mysterious' type and can be acceptable in RPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little to no bio supports the 'mysterious' type and can be acceptable in RPs.[/quote'] Characters can be "mysterious" without having a bio: PMs exist for a reason. If you don't want everyone to know your character's backstory, then don't tell everyone about it. The GM should know everyone's backstory from the beginning - it could be integrated into the plot. The biography is among the most important parts of a character. A character without a biography is a character without an existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallieBigs Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Okay what Tempest was talking about that mini-Advanced Clause, you mean like the rpuniverse Casual expectations, right? Anyway yesh, well just thinking if your character is mentally impaired (that would be crazy amirite?) then can't you start typin liek dis:I der like doggy trollz. Anyway yesh, make the Mini-Advanced Clause effective it would be more effective then crazy adavnced stuff. It could help some of the "weaker" RPers, because I'm not an awesome RPer myself but I can keep up with the better ones. Mini-Advanced Clause and Normal Advanced Clause are alright for this RP section. I'll get examples for this one later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuldur Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 The Advanced Clause is normal, there's almost nothing advanced about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallieBigs Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 This isn't what I would call an Advanced Clause, a paragraph if it was Advanced I would be making a page long post. Like a few paragraphs. I would say something like Normal or something for a paragraph and then Basic that has a little under a paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneManga has an RP forum, and people are regularly expected to post things that are around 4 paragraphs. I'm asking you for 4 lines. Compared to what we had before, I can see drastic improvement. Therefore, the "Advanced" part of the Advanced Clause. My eventual goal for this section is to get to the point where we can see paragraph-long posts regularly occur. Until then, it's one step at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Lovegood Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Can I just mention something to RPers out there? There is no such thing a PG 14, 12, 15. That is all BS.

Hydra of Ages Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 ...And all rating systems need a real-life equivalent? While "PG" probably isn't the best acronym to use, (I would prefer RA, Recommended Agegroup, but nobody's heard of that one...) the current one is more descriptive and useful for our purposes than the MPAA system. The MPAA was mainly made to stop children from seeing material that would scar them for life, so they get kinda iffy around the PG, PG-13, 14-A similar-mark, which is the exact group that has to be focused on in this section.

Luna Lovegood Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Then let us use 'RA'. PG does not give the right impression to someone looking upon this purely from an outsiders point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
