And I have asked Mahz, two years ago, but he basically just acknowledged the problems I brought up, said he'd ask folks to do better, and said he's got it the way he wants it and he's not going to change it. And then disappeared again. Which takes us up to current date.

Although really that only highlights how right you are, TGM, in both paragraphs.

The changes needed will not be made, so the best any users can do is try not to contribute to the problem and try to be a positive influence, or if not an influence at least make a positive contribution. It's not a very good option but it is the best we can expect here.

I'm mentioning you because I forget how to Reply and can't be asked to figure it out.

The old Roleplayer Guild RPs

A reminder to back up your shit, a bitter remind but a reminder.

I'm forever grateful to the folks who backed up part of the old old ass Bethesda Fallout/Elder Scrolls Fan Fiction Forums.

Good fun to see shit I wrote like 15-16 years ago. Sometimes I cringe and sometimes I feel just a little proud.

Staffing is still the primary issue.

The same people that have run it into the ground are still running it into the ground. Same folks that let certain people do whatever in the Discord are still doing that. Mahz is the biggest problem not because he is mostly absent, but because he is entirely absent.

The foundation is corrupted. It's rotting. Every attempt to fix it has failed because it is like building on top of that failing foundation.

An influx of new users helps, but there is a fairly constant influx. The problem is not so much getting people in but retaining them. That should be done via the forum and Discord, but due to the mismanagement identified here and in a thousand other places a thousand times in the past that is neigh impossible.

There's a leak that Mahz isn't around to plug and no one who is here who can plug it is willing to.

Every time someone says this place is dying the same people say "it's not dying though Smiley Face Emoji, we just got 45 new users today" but in a few months half of those users are gone forever. Half check in every few months to see how active it is. Maybe Five folks actually stick around, but 3 of them are just on the Discord and the last 2 are doing eRP in DMs.

Dion is partly right. There's still plenty of moderation on the Discord, about that he's off. But While we likely disagree on the solution we likely largely agree on the problem and we agree that it will not likely be fixed today, tomorrow, or at any point in the foreseeable future.

Multiverse Arena Roleplay

Hello,

I'm taking part in an Arena Tournament on another Discord and having quite a bit of fun with it. I want to see who else might be interested in participating in one.

The idea is 1 on 1 fights in varied arenas with judges to determine who wins. This means it is more important to write well, respect your opponents choices, and generally be entertaining than it is to out try-hard your opponent.

If I manage to get interest I'd also be trying to drum up some judges. The tournament I'm in has maybe 20 participants but I'm not sure if they'd all be interested in participating/able to participate in a forum Arena thread.

We have an Arena section but it is essentially dead so I figured I'd do a general check.

To give you an idea, I'm currently in an Arena RP thread which is similar to what happens in the tournament. In the tournament itself one round I was fighting a sort of Plague Goblin guy named Junk-Fist in a world run by essentially Looney Tunes rules. In Round 2 I got into a Rap Battle with that guy from Malibu's Most Wanted. He turned out to be my son and we both tried to knock each other out with one big punch.

Both those rounds went to a judges decision.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me here or in DMs. If you're in that Discord I'd be particularly happy to hear from you

@Sir Lurksalot

Ruby currently has an X-Men based RP. Not strictly X-Men or even canon characters.

It has a Discord too.

What shows/movies are you watching?

I saw the latest Halloween and was disappointed in it.

Perchance! A Persistently Preposterous Perfidy of Petulant Pugilism : Moldovan Masked and Mustachioed Muscle Man from Mount Magora MEETS MOLE-MAN!!!!!

That's part of why it's potentially funny.

It's like actual #SettledScience, but the announcers don't know that. At least the human lover ones don't. The Mole-Men probably do.

I will be writing for this again at some point soonish by the way.

I've been very busy with life. Made some big changes over the last couple years and some more big ones these last few months.

Also been writing in an Arena RP Tournament as Danger, Danger Fontaine.

Might give that a go on this forum if I can drum up interest among the folks here and/or get some folks from that Discord to participate here. Good fun. Round 1 I fought in a cartoon world. Round 2 has been a rap battle.

Weird shit.

Post a random fact about yourself.

I'm pretty much the opposite.

I write all but exclusively in cursive. Only use block lettering for official reports and DMV and things like that. Writing in cursive feel a lot more pleasant to me. Block lettering is scratchy, cursive is flowing.

What are some of the most confusing/cringiest OC's you have ever encountered?

That's about as far as mine made it too
