Some people like furry shit and RPs and stuff... other people like Anime RPs... a lot of people miss their highschool years and want them back... and then we have those people who likes to play unicorn centaurs that rape almost everything.... In the end though people like what they like... who are we to judge?Plus...I found the problem.

I volunteer to be the unicorn centaur that rapes everything with my fucking horn.

I think the concept of Free roleplay is fascinating. Essentially forging a plot as you go along. Its kinda cool, actually.

It's called improv, in which everyone generates the story. However, it can be done with longer posts >.>

I would assume an anthropomorphized horse which does horsey things. Probably in a herd or something. Idk, it's been over 20 years since I wanted to pretend to be an animal.

You've disappointed me.

Free RPs having a plot is usually like finding a unicorn. I am honestly kind of baffled how some of those games can go on for a long while when there's literally no established plot and the players wing the whole thing half a sentence at a time.

Look at Tabletop, the structured environment seems to be creating some very cool things.

e: Free is cool, and reminds me of chat room RPs

I will have to browse it at some point, the concept is certainly appealing!

But agreed, Free always reminded me of chatroom RPs, which I was never very good at.

I actually had a goofy idea for an RP a while ago about a bunch of lab animals that escaped and think they're people and plot to overthrow humanity. Emphasis on goofy.

Sort of like the rats of NIMH meet Pinky and the Brain?

Exactly, only with a bit more variety. Throw in some Rise of the Planet of the Apes and you pretty much have what I had in mind.

Like a hamster that thinks he's General Patton.

That sounds adorable and funny. I would give it a shot if you do it.

Of course it can. But I find the faster pace, like what you might find in a chat room, very exciting.

Haha, how does one RP as a horse, exactly?

It was a special chat room called the Arena on Horseland.com. You just described what your character, a horse, was doing. They could normally talk to one another. But everyone used an obnoxious number of fancy words, majorly abusing the synonyms function. Daggers for hooves, crest for head, etc. it was like its own special code.
I don't know, man. Horseland was weird.

Thug life represent! I find that very amusing. :D

Oh my god.

When I've seen animal-animal RPs (not furries), they usually give them sentient/human-level thought and brainpower, and social behaviors. But they're still just an animal. Or they can transform into one.

Now I'm starting to think that whole line was metaphor.

Also, we need ctrl+b to bold things again. My brain won't unlearn it.

You cannot forget that 'fingers' on humans were considered 'digits', while 'eyes' were often exchanged with 'orbs'. So fucking retarded. It was those who for some reason were called the "elites" because they used ridiculous fucking synonyms. Repeatedly. How many times "Orbs" was used in a post where someone was looking around at things was just plain retarded.

>.> And I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the fuck a horses hooves would be called "Daggers"?

You'll have to keep in mind, that even while role playing in chat rooms, some tend to actually describe things. A post from me generally took about fifteen minutes, but it's still much more fast paced than the typical forum style rp.

One liners in Chat RP are also frowned upon. Likewise, in tabletop, one can also be fairly descriptive in their actions.
