RP Renovation

[aangstheone]

Alright I feel like I need to bring this up, I'm Sorry to say this but In my personal opinion I think the RP's on here are getting a little weak, There are a few that are REALLY GOOD. I know I'm just a beginner but I want an In depth RP thats exciting even when there are boring parts. I know there will be people that agree with me, so please don't dis me out, its only a fact. Most of the RP's on here are lacking a good solid story line. We need to put more thought into our posts and into the RP itself. We can use A Far Cry From Home as an example, Solid Characters, and Solid Story line, and even when its boring its exciting. I know the Mods will agree, More thought is an essential to get our Posts, and RPs into shape...

Any Ideas for a Good RP story Line can be posted, I would Like your feedback to what I have written...

Wow... I feel so honored that ya'll are using us as an example :3 The format we use is pretty simple: first we pick a plausible environment so that characters from different backgrounds could fit in. Then the major players in the rp get together outside of the rpg itself and brainstorm drama between characters -like Hati and Fenny's bickering, for example. We also review incoming characters to make sure they are workable in the storyline. Mostly, the thing people forget is that a good storyline takes alot of work outside the story to keep it streamlined. I know P-Liz and I certainly put in a major amount of time trying to keep things up and running. @_@

As for storyline ideas... I always wanted to see someone do an rpg about the fire nation's first attack on the western air temple. The makeup would be mostly fire nation soldiers, female monks and young airbenders, but you could have some fire nation or water tribe traders, or maybe even some earthbenders flown in to help with an architectural problem, like one of the buildings breaking loose from the cave ceiling. Anyone's welcome to use the idea if they want it. *shrug*

...I just started a Role Play D:

I appreciate your concerns about the roleplay quality here, and I appreciate you typing it out in a reasonable post (instead of going psycho-freaky like some members are apt to do in the other boards D: )

Unfortunately, we try not to be heavy-handed on the types of roleplays that are started here. We do expect quality, but we don't want to be freakishly strict about it. And if enough people are willing to join a roleplay that's not very in-depth and exciting, then we can't do too much about it.

The only thing to really do is perhaps find one of those few roleplays that are exciting to you and join it. Or just start one yourself and hope people will join. Other than that, there's not much we can do to remedy the situation. =/

You know, as a creator of a Role Play thread, you get to decide who role plays and who doesn't.

Albeit, you need a reason for it, but it's under your control.
