I've noticed since I've been back here (about 3 days) that people don't seem to post very regularly, I mean there have been no post here for 58 minutes. Why is this? It's not as if there is a lack of members. -------------------- formally Brenitt-Ihrno I'm a very irregular poster, don't mind me. Join me, people NFC FOREVER!!!

No post in 58 minutes, oh dear! There are plenty of members, it's just that people have these things called lives and are not here 24 hours a day. Couple that with the Thanksgiving holiday in the US and you are probably not going to have as much posting for the past few days. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!!

Maybe we are finally winning the battle against spam! ... Or not.

Eh, I think that there is not too much interesting stuff going on. It is the school season too, so everyone is either writing papers, attending classes, studying for finals or something like that. Like *i said, people have these things called lives. I dunno, maybe I will come up with a weird discussion topic and post it, and only get 30 or so replies. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

However, I've noticed that many of the topics i've made have been filled with cough*spam*cough. :D Wiseman does have a point.(I guess thats why hes wise :P )Don't post anything useless. You're just taking up space, and it's horribly annoying. -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

It's amazing, I read that last sentence and nearly died laughing. What's with people always thinking these boards are dying?

Hey, if you want to be a part of the grand-daddy of all RPs, we just started the Arena. Newcomers welcome. The rules are not nearly as intimidating as you might think on first read. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Role Play. Its like a posted adventure, where you each make up characters and have dialogue and stuff. In previous RPs ive done, it was a lot of fun. :) -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Where of course, the Arena is special in the sense that its rules place more weight on realism than on the writing itself. That's not a bad or good thing, it just makes for different roleplays. Depending on whether you're used to a.) RPs with dice, or b.) with one-line posts of "Me takes sword and goes beat up big orc baddies", or c.) with hugely long reams of inner monologue and novel-like depth, you'll enjoy it or not. -------------------- "Toleration is not the opposite of intoleration, but is the counterfeit of it.

'Round here, though, it pretty much always means Role-Play, the post-by-post storytelling described elsewhere (like this one, for instance). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

And Roleplaying as done on Spiderweb mainly varies around the 'story-telling' as well as the Arena kind (which afaik has only made its way to Spiderweb itself since the original Arena grew increasingly dead). The occasional one-line "Hey lets beat up teh orcs!1" is thrown in (though that has lessened since the first RP I saw here a year and a half ago). The most successful RPs are (or at least the one best RP I've seen was) based on a combination of both Arena-style and story-based roleplaying. My theory is that both ways combined are enough to overwhelm the one-line roleplaying. Then again, it might be due to the fact that when the two styles combine, we don't have Desperance and Polaris b**ching at each other. But that's another story entirely.
