Hey people.
What about a new RP. I just went through Valley of Thunder and loved it. So ... what about it?
-------------------------------------------------
What does 'OOC' and 'IC' mean? This is in RP lingo.

OOC is if you talk 'out of character', like saying that 'it was unlikelyyou could run up the waterfall, can you edit your post?'
IC is in character, like 'he ran up the waterfall'

It depends on the authors when a new RP comes out, and it may take a long time to figure out a good story, not just: "You need to kill the black mage! JOIN!!1!11oneone".

OOC means "out of character". It's usually used to comment something in the IC. IC means "in character". It is the roleplay, basically.

Like this:

OOC: Wouldn't it be cool to have Urghnar Orc-killer faint in battle? Yeah!

IC: Urghnar grunted. The orcs were too many! He cried out for his comrades but they were kept quite busy by the onstorming orc-hoard. There was no help to be find! Suddenly he felt a searing pain in his shoulder. The pain was too much! He fell to the ground, unable to move his right arm. Urghanr could hear his fellows scream as the darkness overwhelmed him. A last thought flew through his mind - I knew I should have become a dentist - and then everything was gone.

OOC: Oh yeah! That was cool as hell!

DO NOT MAKE ME COME OVER THERE...

A new RP will start when someone has an idea for one and the motivation to start it.
As for Valley of Thunder, we may try to pick it up again. No certainties, but there has been talk as to it.

Edit: Unnecessary. New RPs are tricky to plan, that's all.

Fixed your typo.

Anyway. RPs are what I like to call aggregations of timber. They are bundles of sticks. And like all bundles of sticks, they should be burned.

I mean, seriously. You went through all this time archiving the boards. Mariann TOLD you that there's a dearth of board space. Yet you are planning on making a topic whose utility ranks roughly between "Connections" and "What did you just eat?"

Seriously.

Ahem.

This could be argued. While Connections and 'What did you just eat'-style topics are nothing but a petty way for members to fap over their post counts, a roleplay that is well-done improves the level of conversation on the board it is done in. In this particular case, we're talking about the difference between topics made by the 8-year-old SW-Fans so often mentioned, and worthwhile discussions and outbursts of creativity.

I believe there have been discussions about plot quality vs. combat in these games. The thing is that such things as plot attract people who like to read. Some people who read like to write as well. As long as the result is enjoyable to read, why should it be a waste of space? I can think of many other things that would be more so.

Oh, and by the way: What is it with 'Elfy'? I don't have a clue what you mean by this word, and how I deserve it.

The 8-year-old comment referred to 8-year-olds, not highly intelligent 13-year-olds. Obviously. :rolleyes:

v_h_f: Advice: If you want to start an RP, write the first post yourself, not wait for somebody else to do it. And make it interesting.

*notices yet another thing*
*sigggghhhhh* Again.
TGM just started a new account. :rolleyes: I am seriously considering voting this new account a one-star, but I think I can refrain myself.
*siggggghhhh*

EDIT: Oh, and Aran: where did you get that new smiley? Off a different site?
