[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] If you dont post there I'm not sure why it bothers you. I started out in the Arena, and one of the things I liked about it is that like a long distance game of chess, it doesn't need to be active. You can pause a match for a long while and pick it up easily whenever you'd like because of the simple premise of combat. And yeah its slow, but at the moment we have a new tournament sign up, so that thread in particular has been quite active. Arena is very specific, its more than just a 1x1 story. I'm not saying the Arena couldn't do with a jump start but for the people who do post there wouldnt want it removed or merged with 1x1 just because its less popular than other sub forums. I assume Nation RP and Tabletop Regulars feel the same way. [/quote] You raise a good point. Tabletop and nation RP should just be merged, too. I'm not saying to disband arena RP. I'm saying to have it be merged with something else. Like advanced and casual would be merged in my ideal world. Which evidently isn't going to happen, but I'd still like to put it forth. One of the common things I hear about fighting in RP's is that people are scared of messing up. That could be a reason as to why arena is doing so poorly (and, if we are being frank, has always done poorly compared to the other RP sections). You're obviously an arena roleplayer first and foremost it seems, so you'll understand that when I say merging it will create new opportunities to 'advertise' arena roleplaying. If arena is merged with 1x1, it will become more accepted to advertise your arena concept in 1x1, so to speak, and as a result you will gather perhaps more attention than in just the arena RP section, where nobody really comes anyway. You'll also agree with me that the disparity in 'last posts' in arena is pretty fucking big. [img]https://puu.sh/vu3L8/14979b9695.png[/img] I mean you really can't argue otherwise in arena. And the point that you can pick it up at any time is pretty fine and dandy but the same could be said for any other RP really. I'm sorry but I just don't see the pro's outweighing the con's in this case. It's my opinion that arena (and tabletop now that you've mentioned it) are better off merging with 1x1, and if NRP proves to be continuing to lose activity and consist of purely failed project after failed project, we might as well move that into 'high-commitment roleplay' too.
