Sephiroth? Did I, by asking that, reveal that I'm totally ignorant concerning some extremely cool movie/video game that everyone except me has heard about? If so, name it please... Oh, and here's an extremely good newbie guide to the concept of play-by-post RPing: And finally, someone has compiled the golden rules, the Ten Commandments of RPing. They are rather more strict than what is done here, but some of them are worth remembering. Most of them echo what Omelette said earlier, anyway. I. Thou shalt not play God. Simple. Don't make your character overly powerful; it takes the fun out.II. Thou shalt not solve all the problems of the universe all by yourself. Like Omelette said; throwing obstacles and solving them yourself causes your fellow players to feel left out. You're playing together, not trying to impress each other.III. Thou shalt add details to your writing to keep it from being boring. Always concentrate more on the quality of your writing than on the quality of what your character is doing. A well-written defeat is a million times more fun to write and to read than a victory running "I WAKL UUP TOO TEH BIGG MONSTA ANND SLLAY IT!!"IV. Thou shalt be true to the character of your character. Stay in character. Don't make decisions that you know your character wouldn't make under the circumstances. Don't make an altruistic Paladin suddenly demand payment. Don't make a fearless berserk cower in fear.V. Thou shalt make sense. Don't write impossible stuff that is utterly devoid of reason. In a silly RP, it's all right if a million small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri teleport in and start chattering. In a serious RP, it's not.VI. Thou shalt not kill other characters or decide what damage they get. So important that I made it bold. The single most important rule of RPing. In combat, the only one who decides what damage your character gets is you. Similarly, the only character whose damage you decide is your own. Of course, you should put in some defeats, and a lot of injuries, maybe even death. But it should always be the players making the decision for their own character.VII. Thou shalt be patient for other characters to post. I think this topic was not touched upon. In different time zones, frequently you are, for hours on end, the only one online. Live with it, and wait until someone posts. Nobody likes to see one player running the story by themselves in a hundred consecutive posts. There are diaries and online blogs for that. The time of inactivity accepted around here is about 4-5 days. If your RP is inactive that long, you can consider bumping it with a double post. But avoid doing it unless you have to.VIII. THOU SHALT NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPS AS IT IS HIGHLY ANNOYING. Self-explanatoryIX. Tho shlt nat us fels spillin n gremmmer. Self-explanatory as well.X. Thou shalt not decide thy neighbour?s actions, or his wife's actions, or his ox's actions.... This last one is a bit ambigious. On elite RPing sites, if you post so much as a word of greeting uttered or the twitch of a finger made by another character, people are gonna yell at you. Around here, it's fairly common to do it. I usually avoid it because I can't find a way to emulate another one's character; there are others who think alike, but don't be surprised if this last rule isn't taken too strictly here. If someone really badly misuses your character, just mention it and it will most likely be changed. Posting other players' actions is not taboo here, but avoid doing too much. Instead write about your own actions and leave time in between to allow others to react with their characters.That's all I can say now, really. I hope it was of help. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

TM, actually I'm in an international school, which — while not completely following the American system &mdash certainly has English courses comparable to those in English-speaking countries. But we have German classes of about the same level. Earlier on (8th grade), even the Native German classes were laughable, we were being tested on spelling, grammar and generally stuff they teach in 5th and 6th grade in a native school. But the classes have got more demanding, and at the moment both (English and German) focus totally on literature. Of course, correct grammar and spelling is still required, but they just assume we've grasped it by now.  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

I'm not saying that what he wrote is actually crap, I just don't like his style of writing. I don't know why, it just seems unpleasant in a way. Tastes differ...  I have to admit, he's short and to the point. But he writes so pragmatically, so drily, I can barely stand it.-------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

That is the best comment I've heard about Hemingway to this date, and I must say I completely agree. What he wrote is *definitely* more than 1,000,000. So it doesn't seem to apply there, or maybe it would have been a lot more words for him... Or maybe he shot himself when he noticed his writing wasn't getting better even after the million.

Either put them in a separate database, or in a zip file, or make it possible to eliminate them from the search, I'd say. Searching for all records (which is what I always do because it's easier to find stuff if you can see what is available), the database currently takes almost five minutes to load for me, and my connection is not exactly slow. Some color edits take a lot of time to make, and may require additional editing apart from the click on "Edit/Change Color", but on the whole, they are just the same as another graphic in a different color. If I want to use an Erika graphic, but don't like the color, I can look up on the morphs instead of wasting time (frequently more than five seconds, maybe even up to half an hour if it's complicated to do, for example a face that has to be left alone and stuff) with a drawing program. But I don't want to wait for a red, a black, a green, a yellow, a blue, a purple and an octarine Erika to load every time I search the base :P .

What's with the first million words? Btw, Oracle, I too am using play-by-post in general as an exercise for writing, and as a source of inspiration. It really works. Keeping RPs going past their expiration date is hopeless, but it only becomes so once you are the last person to have posted and it's off the first page of the board. That's my philosophy. So any time it gets close to the edge, I just post again. And, to be honest, RPs might not be the best thing in a board, but if there's a choice between flaming threads and RPs, give me the RP any day.  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

OOC: This RP is one of the more sluggish ones I guess... Where's the action? IC: Pthalos was pacing the room impatiently. This was annoying. Why did they all have to wait with nothing to do? Pthalos was not used to waiting: In his own world, there would have never been a need to do such careful planning since the enemies were frequently outnumbered by the heroes two to one, if not more; a result of the mercenary inflation that had driven him away from the shores of Parth. Like all the others, he stopped pacing and excitedly watched as Omlette put the crystal in front of him and descended into the heavy silence of meditation. OOC: Omlette, you realize we're stuck in the plot until you have an answer from that crystal?  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

I'm a senior in high school, and I'm working for an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, because I'm going to an international school. I've got six subjects, three of them 'higher level', probably comparable to majors in college. Physics, Maths, German, English, Chemistry and Economics. I'll probably study something to do with either language or physics, since those are the two things that interest me. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

Ahem. If you really want to persist in feeding this troll by answering with flames, even at the risk of getting yourself banned rather than the troll, then I must say you have to be pretty... well... intellectually challenged.  Sorry.He's the one trolling. Why make it easier by responding with flames? We already know what kind of a — he is, and he himself won't acknowledge it, so the only consquence of calling him names is to get banned eventually. Not worth it. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Actually, the German translation is not half as bad as the retranslation into English suggests. Seemingly the translator English-German is much better than German-English. It's grammatically correct, and it even sounds a bit silly, capturing the spirit of the original.  The problem lies in two special symbols: ß, which is for all intents and purposes a ss, must have been left out of "stoen", leading to it not recognizing the word and replacing "poke", and ä, which it did not recognize as ae and therefore made no attempt to translate 'gegenstaenden' with 'objects'.[ Tuesday, November 04, 2003 20:31: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

I said I'd *seen* the boards, and mentioned that they might have looked better *before they were dead*. That should have indicated I came here after it was closed, and got to it via a link from someone. There was some fun stuff in there, but most of it was horrendous spam, sorry to say it. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

I agree with Infuriated Slith here: I've seen the Misc boards, and no matter how much more fun they were than they look like dead, or what your tastes: No one who's seen them and seen the current situation can say that the situation — not least for RPs, but also in other respects — has not immensely improved since then. And RPs lately have been uncomparable to what we had here as recent as half a year ago. I mean, I remember the Sands of Time topic eventually got bogged down by giant rubbery, immortal creatures by Zephyr, and there were character killings and screaming, and flaming and all kinds of stuff. See the newest RPs, and look for that kind of thing in there.  I'm not saying they're perfect, but they're definitely better than then.Btw, I can't stand those people who keep saying "AAh, in the Good Old Times everything was sooooo much better, we had better RPs, better members, better flamewards, better spam..."

I have the suspicion that someone older might hide behind this moniker. Only gut feeling though. For one thing, newbies are rarely as persistent in spamming. Any 'real' noob, even a bad-mannered one, would have left after a couple of posts. But that's just an unfounded guess. And that applies to the PE1 guy as well. I told myself I'd not accuse anyone of double accounts without evidence, but you have to eat your words sometimes. I've seen two occasions where Merc posted 5-15 minutes after PE1, both times just saying he totally agreed. This is not random any more.

RPs are just like movies in that respect: Where the plot is good and well-thought, you don't need the huge amount of carnage and battles. If the movie makers replace plot with fighting and special effects, what you get is complete trash. Oh, btw.

At least these threads are a sort of general amusement. Though I'd hope that whoever is behind this (no newbie would rant as persistently, I expect; any 'real' newbie would make one unflattering post and be gone rather than spamming constantly — but I might be wrong there), gives up soon and either becomes an acceptable member or just gets up and... leaves, in order to avoid inappropriate language.  I won't accuse anyone of having double accounts before a mod or admin checks the IP and verifies the claim. Though I must say 12 minutes posting delay is just the time I would wait before reposting in order to avoid it being obvious. Still suspiciously quick to be random. But I said, I don't want to accuse without basis, I've done so wrongly before and don't want to do it again. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

All right, even if the boards *are* full of meaningless spam (mostly due to you at the moment), then what's the point in telling us? It's not like we didn't already know, you see...

Agreed. It's much more exciting if you can't solve the problem with a twist of the little finger. Chibidemon Wolf (dammit, I once knew all the 'real' monikers of people here... let me guess... ArcticWolf? No, probably not...): A lot of that is true. But you don't need to 'ban' people, the problem solves itself. Eventually, all the 'good' RPers find a nice corner to themselves, and play good RPs there. Two more things I just thought of concerning the topic "What Constitutes Good RPs And Why They Don't Work Here"  :1. World Consistency: All good RPing places have a universe to call their own. ONE universe mark you. Not like at Spidweb, where characters come from any which game, Avernum, Geneforge, or elsewhere, or even somewhere totally off the map. Any good RPing place needs to have, for one, a reference work with information of the world, so that any quarrels ("Hey, you can't have a lasergun, they don't exist here!" - "Says who?") can be quickly resolved. 2. Entrance Restriction: A really elitist RPing place will want to check your character before allowing you to play. At a site I know, getting approved is a process that may take from two days to a whole month, with the veterans and moderators giving you advice on how to improve your character. Your final character description is often several A4 pages long, and includes a character history that's a novel of its own.  The second won't work here of course, that's only for boards dedicated entirely to RPing since it's so much work. But someone might give some thought to it. Nazgul checked and approved every single character that wanted to join the "Baltazar the Mad" RP, and see how it turned out.  Of course, you want to watch that it stays a game, and doesn't degenerate into... dare I speak the word? WORK... Btw, someone out there should write a book about this kind of thing. It's such a broad subject. [ Monday, November 03, 2003 15:13: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

And there, of course, goes the next reason for RPs failing: Different aims/goals of different players. When I participate in an RP, I tend to expect a 'story' to come from it, because for me it's a writing exercise. I actually want to produce something that might, with a little work, be compiled into a story. That's why I'm annoyed with poor textual quality, and fellow RPers quickly get annoyed with my long posts. I know that there are other things you might expect from an RP, but I find that you've got to accept it's in no way like a computer game. Where you make your own rules instead of adhering to those of the computer (unless you use cheats ), you're basically playing against yourself. In fact, as far as I can see 'winning' is not really the objective in an RP, since you can win whenever you want. The purpose is to have fun playing, and that fun lasts only while the game is going. To prevent tediousness, the game has to end at some point, and to not make it stop in mid-air, we invent something called a 'plot', and stop the RP when it hits the end of said plot. That way, we keep the game going for a while, have some fun imagining our characters, and stop *before* it gets boring.  [/ramble](Sorry, I like to go on and on when I talk about that subject...)

OOC: I posted my IC. Anyone else care to do so? Infuriated Slith? MSW? Alo? Xan? Majordomo? Zephyr? Perhaps Omlette, even though you posted last before me? I hate to double post, but this is getting on my nerves. I'm not having this RP dying. It went well so far, so please post.  Edit: Xan, it's okay in that case. Feel free to wait as long as you want, at least I know this hasn't been completely forgotten and forsaken.

I use Windows NT4, because I haven't had any time to install the XP Home version from the CD my father has. A lot of stuff would work easier, but currently I don't have time to rearrange all my system. I'm too used to NT4.  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

And don't get any ideas about killing the Greywraith one. Ahem.  By the way, Omlette, I posted in that RP again now. I just wanted to let some time pass to not waste the 'bumping power' of my next post. If I'd posted straight after you, chances would have been it died after then.

OOC: I don't want this RP to die, thank you. To further my cause, I'll post an IC, and hope that it's followed up quickly.IC: Pthalos has listened quite carefully. Aran, studied in the elemental powers of Earth, must be quite a capacity on the subject of these crystals, and Dern must know that. Why did he act so funny? Pthalos was ready to take Aran's word for the crystals left behind increasing the powers of the Greywraiths. Dern's strange behavior made him a bit suspicious. But then, Pthalos was paranoid by nature. "Just how big are these crystals?" he suddenly bursts out. "How many people are needed to carry one?" ((ooc: insert the answer in here, chronologically. I'll leave the room now, but when Infuriated Slith posts the answer from Dern, consider it to have occurred here.)) After Dern had answered him, Pthalos quickly left the hall. He still had to fetch some things from his room. Hoping that whoever had looted his chamber had not noticed the ring, he entered through the door. The room was in a total state of chaos! Beds overturned, bags opened and their contents strewn on the floor! Cursing, Pthalos found his own bag, and rummaged deep inside it. His spare clothes, his daggers, crossbow and the buckler were gone, but he was lucky. He found the leather casket with the silver ring in the secret pocket of the bag. Taking it out, he immediately put it on his finger - the mages had told him it would only be activated when he spoke the correct words, so there would be no harm done if he wore it. Taking the few other remaining possessions he had salvaged from his bag - among them a small purse with silver - he returned to the hall, ready to leave to the mines with the others. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!
