Hmm, maybe I'll try something a little bit farther along in the summer time. We'll see (force people *evil rubbing of hands*) if we can get interest.
Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
Ok so its been a year since I posted the previous post, and I see nothing. Disappointed.
SO We're going to try this again. Who would be interested in starting a new RP? At the moment, I don't have any ideas for one, BUT if there was interest in one, I would come up with one. So c'mon folks, step up, lets get this section booming again!

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
Definitely up for RP-ing! I'd rather not run one, though, because I don't think I quite have the time for that. I'll think about some potential ideas.
May the Triforce be with you.

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.
So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
I dunno, I guess I could try to kick it back up again? I'm really bad at keeping things going once I've thrown in a lot of plot stuff that I've been excited about for a while. I now just wanna skip to the next part I'm excited about BUT I'M SO BAD AT TRANSITIONING GORRAM IT

I could probably make time for a RP in the near future.

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
I can't, but I would force myself to anyway because I don't want to be left out.
That said... what would you guys think about doing that ROM reboot we always said we would? Screw finishing the first one, we don't need to worry about that. Just a good old fashioned, make it up as you go, fantasy monster raising role play.
If we're gonna go for this, I would like to insist that we have one major rule...
NOBODY MAKE ANY FREAKING PLANS FOR LATER PLOT POINTS.
It is NOT that hard to keep a story moving without setting up subplots that people will have to worry every post about ruining. We keep it simple, and make it so that anyone can advance the story without having to clear it with someone else first. Like we did back then!

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
I will finish ROM 4 someday...
That aside, I'd be up for it. And, while elaborate pre-planned plots were fun, they were also the downfall of a lot of our RPs. A free for all would be a nice change.

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
I'd be up for joining. That, and I'm still working on an RP, I've got ideas in motion.
Also, I don't mean to raise anyone's hopes, but I've found Simeon, and I'm thinking of trying to get him to come back.

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
DOUBLE POST (I am amazing, I know this.)
All right, I've still got a few more kinks to work out on it, but I want to see if there is any interest in it. At the moment, I've got an idea for a fairly-futuristic, original RP. Name is a WIP. Essentially, society has begun to really advance, such as normal futuristic stuff, such as transporters, floating cars and the such, but also 'cybernetic' implants and enhancements, that, after having have been around, have become fairly affordable to all. The implants and enhancements range widely, such as arm enhancements that increase your strength 3fold, or implants with interchangeable slots that grant you different knowledges, such as the knowledge of being a blacksmith, etc. etc.
But there are still some people who refuse any sort of implants, be it for personal or other reasons. This leads to various acts of rebellion/terrorism. As far as the eventual plot, I have a beginning, a middle, and an end plan, but if some were wanting to have their own plots to fulfill, that would be fine.
Anyways... would there be any interest in this, or shall I stop planning on it?

You can't just throw around a term like 'advanced' rp and not expect to have to elaborate some.

Actually I just cut most of it out. I sounded pretentious on second glance.

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
I'm actually really enjoying running Forum Wars, and I was wondering if anybody would be up for yet another new RP, or even several? I've got tons of ideas, you see, and this is a good outlet, I suppose.
So, would anybody object to more RPs, or is Forum Wars enough for now, and I shouldn't get too ahead of myself?

I'd consider joining, depending what it is and how busy I am at the time. Speaking of Forum Wars, I should post soon if no one else on my team does so...

Re: New RP Discussion Thread
So, I have an important question. What would be the general reaction if I wanted to run an actual game of an actual rpg here? Or even on another site, but with you guys? I'm thinking probably Pathfinder, because all of the info is online, but I'm open to things. What are thoughts on if that could even be viable?
