Alright. Tiny rant just because it's bugging me. I've noticed at least one thing on this forum when it comes to RPs. One. Simple. Thing. Only certain people have ANY HOPE OF MAKING AN RP THAT CAN LIVE. Volt can make an RP. People normally join his. Ryan can make an RP. He doesn't post here anymore. Fayt can make an RP. People just keep bitching until he gets sick of running it. Jun can make an RP. But she has lifes and stuff. Kiba can make RPs. But alot of times they can be hit or miss. ...and somehow Vintage can make an RP, which I swear to GOD is just a fucking rehash of ANYTHING DONE ON EH BEFORE. Honestly, how often have we had this RP: In the future, the government has began to discriminate and hunt down (insert anything abnormal here). Forced into hiding, they've made a resistance group named (Insert Name Here which is also likely the RP name) to fight back against the government that oppresses them! Seriously, all I'm getting out of what I read from the first post is that overall it's this. Just with gay and a shameless plug for her boyfriend's fetishes. Now then... L can't make an RP. Nobody joins but me and Volt. I can't make an RP. Nobody joins but L and Volt. Maria just doesn't make RPs. I think she's only ever made like... one. DJ doesn't make RPs. He barely RPs anymore anyways. ...and that's not even everyone. But so yeah. If you aren't in the first list, might as well not even bother since people don't give a shit unless it involves vampires, or mutants, or gayness. Yes this has likely pissed people off. Yes I know that my RP skills aren't the most amazing. I don't care. This is a rant thread for venting, thus I vent. And now I'm done. |

How many times have we seen this RP?: "In the distant future, after some sort of apocolypse or war or something, humanity is scattered into little camps far away from each other, with a select few who have to go out into the wilderness to make ends meet? Also, a few people have gained powers from it." And the "government has decided to track down" RPs are almost -always- someone with unusual powers. In this case, it's a sexuality. Not to mention, I wasn't on either list... L, meanwhile, often contributes ideas to an RP. He's not usually the one using Hyper Beam, he's the guy using Helping Hand. Maybe a terrible metaphor, I don't know. On your 'can't make RPs list,' that pretty much just leaves you. Maybe the problem actually has nothing to do with who makes the RP and a lot more to do with how it's presented, and you just happen to be bad at making something seem interesting? I don't mean to offend, of course, but I'm offering up that possibility. |

Seriously, all I'm getting out of what I read from the first post is that overall it's this. Just with gay and a shameless plug for her boyfriend's fetishes." Actually, not that much. Maybe like five RPs total. Most tend to run with what Bobby said. Also, "If you aren't in the first list, might as well not even bother since people don't give a shit unless it involves vampires, or mutants, or gayness." So to you, gay people are mutants. Nice to know asshole. "L can't make an RP. Nobody joins but me and Volt. I can't make an RP. Nobody joins but L and Volt. Maria just doesn't make RPs. I think she's only ever made like... one. DJ doesn't make RPs. He barely RPs anymore anyways." Taking away those who don't make them. "L can't make an RP. Nobody joins but me and Volt. I can't make an RP. Nobody joins but L and Volt." I believe L has made a few successful ones too, or at least helped. We are left with: "I can't make an RP. Nobody joins but L and Volt." That would probably be because the world of Nensu stars a Kirby re-color and just plain sucks. c: Also, unless you're willing to start more RPs, then please shut up about the few who do. c: |

While I agree with some of your points, that one was a pretty far leap in logic. He threw the word "or" in there. Sooooo yeah. |

My only responses to this thread are the following: 1. I myself pointed out I'm not the most skilled RPer here. 2. My views on gays are as follows: Gay people have every right to love and be together so long as they aren't making out in front of me. I have a pal who's gay, he's cool. I've nothing against gays and hope that they get their right to marry in every state that dares call itself American. |

So then the rant boils down to, "I'm not good at RPing, thus nobody joins my RPs. You all suck." Paraphrased, of course. |

Alright... this has been grating at me. So another rant. For the last time, Nensu is not Kirby. I've worked my ASS OFF coming up with ideas that give that character a backstory, a personality, and a fighting style far different from kirby. And sorry that he looks like Kirby for now. That's the only fucking thing I can draw. I thought I had gotten past the point people kept calling him a "Kirby Re-color" or "Kirby with Hair". I thought that giving a character a bit more depth (More depth than most Nintendo characters anyhow) would make him finally stand out. Apparently not. SO JUST BECAUSE KIRBY IS A BALL WITH STUB ARMS, NOW ALL FUCKING BALLS WITH STUB ARMS ARE A KIRBY RIPOFF?! GOD DAMMIT. I swear, it's like how Hitler tried to look like Charlie Chaplin with that mustache. Now, nobody can wear that mustache without being compared to fucking Hitler. Also, I doubt you've even read my fucking ideas Kiba. So go fuck off. You might then say, "Why not make him something other than a ball?" It's his character design. It's supposed to be simple and appear cuddly. He's the mascot character for Christ's sake. I swear to god, Nensu is not just a Kirby Recolor. And anyone, be it somebody on here, or one of my friends in RL who says otherwise, can go shove a long hard piece of broken glass up their ass. |

I didn’t realize my RP was a re-hash. I browsed the older rp's but didn’t really look into the details. I would join more the new rp's but I’m busy enough with school, a huge sewing commission, and AG. I also think the popularity of an RP (I cant say I know, because I haven’t been here long enough to actually know how everyone works) depends on when it is posted. If a new rp is posted when there are 2 or 3 rp's that are being posted in daily I think it has a bigger chance of being pushed aside. I think the main reason AG has as many people as it does (which the number actually surprised me) is because there wasn’t anything overly active going on when I started it, and the fact that PL just ended. |

also, really A shameless plug for foxby's fetishes. Just No. The entire process started as wanting to start an RP. So I dug into the recesses of my mind and went through my old story ideas. One of them had to do with a similar thing (except it wasn’t in the future it was in a parallel universe where spirits go(which is why I changed the idea drastically into one of my currant stories, it just didn’t work)). The fact Lara is in it at all, is because he is a co-founder of the rp. And I figured it would make a good eye-catching start. Something that could spawn character development and different responses from different characters, something to grow off of. If it really was a shameless plug for his fetishes, there would be fox girls, and incest, and all other types of things that can apply to his characters. |

Its kinda tough thinking up originality for several reasons. Most Action Rp's around here involve the same sort of plot: An ultimate evil threatening the world or universe or whatever and its up for a ragtag group of misfits (usually with a mix of various skills) to put this fucker down 6 feet under. Its kinda the same for generally every single RPG in existance, like every Final Fantasy Game. Ive looked into it. (well most of FF at least) theres also Grandia 2, Shadow Hearts, Tales of Vesperia, Magna Carta 2, ect. Im just naming off the most recent RPGs ive played. Usually a School RP doesnt work because in all honesty, people dont like School nowadays, why would they want to RP about it too. Pokemon, Naruto, Bleach, Ect. RP's are too predictable and you have to generally play a character from the series and act like that character would. Ill give credit though. Some RP's around here in the past have been good and purely original. But like I said all of them follow the kind of basis. Im guilty of this with generally EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY CHARACTERS. Im always the smart assed, angry tough guy, who has high morals and wouldnt think twice before putting a boot in someones ass. Anyway, good rant. |

I recon we should think of an RP thats original, think way in advance before we start the RP, make sure people will join, Ensure its origiality, make sure it wont have DBZ or Final Fantasy Syndrom, and all that Jargen. Actually I'm curious if someone could actually make a successful Town/School RP, one with real things happening, not just fighting and horrible things happening. ...Like a Shojou anime. Wierd... |

I'd like to say I've seen those kind work on other forums. However, I believe that with the small community we have on EH, few people would be on at the same time enough to really let it take off. It's not so much as that it COULDN'T work. I've seen Town RPs far better than adventure RPs. But I feel that our size as a community hurts us for that. It only takes maybe 4 guys max to kick the SNOT out of a bad guy. A Town with ONLY 4 guys, is far more boring. So if we were a forum of at least maybe twenty people where we could have a wider variety of interaction, fine. But with the small community here, it seems unlikely we could pull one off. Not impossible, just unlikely. |

I know this isn't really the point of the rant, but-- "has high morals and wouldn't think twice before putting a boot in someone's ass" kind of imply rash decisions based more on how the character feels about something rather than stopping to consider the ethics of boot-putting and whatever pissed them off in the first place. |
