Ressurection of repitition of.....

Post by Exanderous »

In time one can only disappear and reappear for so long. It is notable that when you run out of lives in a game it ends.

I must say watching people come and go and the riffraff on the board I feel like my one-ups are dwindling and fast.

I let out a few roars of how I was going to post a few board altering RPs and shouted the true spirit of rping, but looking at whats going on this place has turned into that of discussion and chalgrish having to blam time after time.

My old friends (you know who you are) what are we going to do with this place? I say we round up a good old RP... like the one my gal has started and we Rp like the good o'l days.

What say ye?

I totally agree with you Baby! (Ex, not you Silver Orbs, sorry, ^^; )

Although *raises her glass beside Silver Orbs'* I agree with you too^^

We need to do something to revitalize this place and I think I may have an idea or two up my sleeve. In the meantime, though, a good old fashioned RP might just do the trick^^

(And my RP is not THAT good ^^; *blushes*)

With all do respect has there been any ambition? I mean looking at the RP thread all I see are people attempting to try, and then dropping the thread shortly after. It seems the threads that are persisting do not have much structure or a purpose at all.

My Thread The Tavern Including.

I aim to change that.

lol

I'm gunna make you men! *cracks whip*

At first I will ask your permission to lay a few tips and hints down. Who am I to tell you what to do. Thats Chalgrish'es job.

I think, friend, that we were just waiting for you to do this. I mean the question seems rhetorical.

please do offer the advice, it's sorely needed i feel.

I have been wondering where you were this past months. it's felt a little empty around here.
hope all is ok and it's just that your life is being too much fun that you have been MIA.

I'm so sorry I left too! It's just with Exx gone not much was happening. It's like every one stopped posting with out him there.

I'm trying my hand at Rping again too! but it seems like every one thinks it's going on too slow. Cough*Fyre*Cough. But i think he...they aren't giving anything enough time to grow.

:cry:

All the growth of an RP happens usually in the begining stages if it is done properly. that means people are drawn to it and are posting in it out of dedication or enjoyment.


When a thread drags along. SOmething is wrong.

Now that is not the case in all RP's. I have seen quite a few in my time. Like I know my good friend Fyre has as well. Dragyness has a good thread right now. A good solid thread with a sterdy story and enoyable character interaction, but due to being so busy, Dragyness and myself had to evacuate temporarily.


To answer your question my friend... I was incredibly sick and TERRIBLY busy.. I wish it were fun... but alas. My MIA status will be short lived.

Soon I will be posting a set of guidelines containing examples i have personally seen that both succeeded or went straight to hell. Do not misconstrew this. I only intend to establish guidelines, not lecture on how to RP.

Ultimately, the teacher can only teach what the student is willing to learn. To even say I am posing as a teacher would be so in the wrong it would make Elton John seem straight. I am a veteran of the game so my skills might have dwindled, but let me ask... whats your excuse?? Haha just kidding... If you come near me I will cut you!!! Its a joke! *does a barrel roll*

"Who is this guy to be telling me how to RP." I am no one important at all. And like I said, I am not telling anyone how to do anything, but RPing is my game. I will let them speak for themselves though...

Plus just ask anyone who has been here for a long time or any friends from the old board.

See ya then!

well here is the score. As soon as Finals are over, and you all are still willing to listen, I will make a small guide demonstrating what makes an RP an RP.

Deal?
