Roleplayer's Message Board

[Fizban]

Two or three with multiple names I'd bet.

[Jolly Rensha]

Shari / Dragon -

About the talent. I agree. I just can't even go anywhere else because it is worthless to find a substitute, so I don't even try. Nor do I want to, lol.

And I thank you for your compliment. :) Though I believe Ark and Geco are far better than I - golden and godly - I would say. In fact, that could be their nicknames. ;)

LK -

don't worry about it, it's super minor. ;) But you're always saying you want advice/suggestions on writing.

darlok -

Thanks! *slips cookies and a key to an undisclosed locker containing a suit of brotherhood power armor to Darlok*


fiz -

It's my form of roleplaying *nod*

[LordKain]

SoHee - Have no fear, there's no need to apologize. They were invented by you, and that was the reason for me publicly asking permission of people ^^ I'm hoping to be able to keep you lot updated in this, so as the characters will not be used the idea (I think that's the right term) likely will be. As in, there role Min Sun plays in the story will be there still (as she pertains to Dante, that is), she as a previously created character will not be there. I think that makes sense. That's how I plan to treat anyone else, as well. Ideas are good, but I won't go stealing you people's stuffs =D

Two or three with multiple names I'd bet.

So that's why you never post. You're actually half of the board, aren't you? You sneaky devil!

[Geco]

I feel like I've been getting more compliments than I've gave out recently, well, not only that but I'm not sure if I really deserve them, although I'm humbled to hear them. Anyways...

If I have any talent it's only because of the likes of posters like you Ren, or SoHee, Ark, and Sao. There have been many others who have since left that I won't mention, but in rping with you folks I have seen all your abilities and strived to gain your respect, because I held all of you in such high regard for your masterful storytelling, and I continue to push myself because I have seen how you all continue to grow and get better with me, which is why it is truly a pleasure to continue writing here.

Shari, the newest member to these boards, it's been a pleasure to have you and read your work. You are a beautiful writer already.

Fiz and LK, you have both been regulars which I'm watching grow into better and better writers as well. Fiz especially, from your post in Masks, I actually had no idea you had gotten so good (or maybe I just never realized it in the first place ^_^)

Darlok, I think you're quietly becoming the next great writer here. You don't contribute as much in these OOC forums, so I don't you get as much credit, but playing with you in a variety of stories it's been a pleasure to watch you grow.

If only we had the old activity level we could bring back the URP Oscars :p

[LordKain]

Thanks, Geco, I certainly appreciate knowing that ^^

You can thank me for Darlok, I brought him over from a KotOR RP forum :3

[Arkady]

I do wish I could join Masks. I'm a big fan of the whole RPing aristocracy, even if Shakespeare often made things confusing. I read some of his history plays recently. Richard III, Henry IV, etc, and tracing lineage was always absurdly difficult for me.

Geco, you've been underestimating Fizban. He's an oldie and a goodie. Sometimes, I put him on the old record player for inspiration.

[Fizban]

So that's why you never post. You're actually half of the board, aren't you? You sneaky devil!

I hate to give away secrets, but Rensha and Arkady are both brain children of a weekend studying binge mixed with absinthe.

@Geco
Appreciate the compliment. -_-' Swear I haven't rp'd since last year. Got me all nervous. Like this is a whole other language I've got to learn all over again. :P

[Shari Tana]

Thanks, Geco ;)

Well, the only real way to get more activity is to tell people. If no one know the borads exist, no one has the inclination to look for them. There used to be linksites with a bunch of different RP webistes anchored to them, but I'm not sure if they exist anymore. I wish I could publish an article on the forums here, but I'm afraid our audience isn't tuned to this type of thing (mostly technology and science). Someone should sumbit something to Reader's Digest, though. Mabey we can make a little competition out of it xD

[Shari Tana]

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

This makes me feel funny inside....

[LordKain]

Old article is old :3

[Geco]

Fizzy, I knew you've been around for quite some time, but oddly enough I don't remember rping with you :p Like I said, I probably just never realized your talent to begin with haha.

You're right Shari. We probably need to do something more active to recruit people than sitting back and hoping they stumble upon us. Where do you find the right kind of people though, and how do you convince them.

I'd suggest a good start would be looking at how to get this place ranked on some of those Top 100 Role Playing Forum sites you see out there. Possibly trying to write some articles ourselves and have them published somewhere on the net would be kinda interesting. However, I think the same problem bites us in the ass again, and that is time ^_^ I'd gladly help, just don't have the time to organize it all.

[mike the spike]

I recognise Fizban of old, im sure we rp'ed in a thread somewhere, temple of blades perhaps...

It would be nice to get some more peeps on the boards, its difficult to know how to go about it without getting a large number of trolls. Ive not looked over the other boards connected with us now through Jolt, do any of those games have an RP board, perhaps we could migrate a few of them over?

[Eternal Black Dragon]

I have another question, I don't know how long most of you have been on this board, but maybe if some have been with this for a long time, I was wondering if any of you recognize the name Elven Hunter........ Its what I used to go by when I was heavily into this board back several years ago.........
I do agree, we need to find more and more people who have a natural desire to write on rp boards and drag and pull them here. Once they arrive, most of them will be hooked, I was and am again

[GourmetItalia]

I don't know how much we can promote the boards before Jolt gets onto us because technically these boards are now owned by Jolt and it is therefore their trade mark. Unless we can think of ways to promote the boards without getting into legal issues, it's going to be difficult to getting new life blood here. Oh and for some reason, I'm having the feeling that the Jolt that runs these boards is the same company that sells energy gum and drinks. If it is ... I have a strange feeling that Jolt is beginning to monopolize certain markets 8P.

[LordKain]

I don't see how we can get into any sort of legal issues. All we are doing is telling people that 'Hey, there's a kick ass RP board here. Come join.'
Really, how can they get pissed about that? It technically brings revenue with ad clicking and such
