Current Mood in One Gif

what can we do to help improve roleplayer guild?

- Having someone come in and finish all of the WIP features would do wonders for the community. Like seriously, we can't even delete PMs. Have you EVER not been able to delete PMs?

- More strictly enforce the rules. You don't have to ban someone over every little squabble, but having a mod PM you is definitely a wake up call to those disturbing the peace. I personally don't like the idea of strict rules, but there are enough people who insist on reading into that vague comment and starting a flame war on it.

- Better than stricter rules would be for everyone to be a little more understanding and not let emotions fly so high. But this is the internet, and self restraint is dead here.

- As an actual community, we could communicate better. Just spending a little bit of time to let people know if you're going to be late on a post, leaving, etc, would do wonders. You don't need to flood the OOC with a 4 paragraph story, you can just be like "I got busy, I'll post next week." Or something.

Here are some things I DONT think would work.

- News: We're an RP forum. Aside from new features, I'm not really interested in anything in the newsletter. Sadly, new features are never added, so there's not really any reason to have a newsletter. Having my roleplay featured would be really cool, but it doesn't really affect my bottom line. I'm here to write an RP, have armchair philosophy about writing, and shitpost.

- Guides: We actually have a lot of nice guides already, the problem is that people don't read them or don't understand them.

- Contests: Again, we already have the twelve labors as well as some contest RPs. You could draw more attention to them, but I honestly feel that there's enough competition with each other as it is.

- Chatbox: It will never be as good as discord, and live chat services aren't for everyone. They are especially unnecessary in my case where almost everyone is in a different time zone.

Does RPGuild Need More People?

I think this is a bad time of year. Most of your roll players are either in school or collage, and while everyone's schedule is different, this time of year is very popular for travel as well. I'm fortunate that almost everyone in my RP has been really good about letting me know how busy they are.

While I would be happier with a few new faces, I'm not sure how that could be achieved. I can run my RP, so I'm content with things for now.

EDIT: But I don't think we NEED more people. That almost makes it sound like the place is dying.

Post a pic of your Pet!

^ That pet is epic.

I wish mine were that snarky.

Post a pic of your Pet!

So I have mixed feeling about my two cats. I mean Yea, they're cute, they let me dress them up, and they're with me every morning I wake up. But I wish I could get them to use the litter box, and they insist on rubbing themselves on every vertical object until it pets them or it falls over.

Hider for kinda huge images.

Character Sheet Exhibition/Gallery Thread

I take a less is more approach to my character sheets. The point is to display information in a way that it is easily and quickly read. If it sacrifices readability for aesthetics, it has failed to do it's job in my eyes.

𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲:

Character's Name

𝗔𝗴𝗲:

Character's Age

𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁:

The type of infinite they are as well as details about their talent

𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲:

A picture or a written description is fine. Be sure to note key features like accessories, hair style, scars, etc.

𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

Why they were administered to the hospital.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:

How they generally act and the vibe they give off. Interests and pet peeves should be included in here.

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮:

Some details a quick internet search would reveal about them, like their job, accomplishments, where they live, etc.

Nothing too special, aside from the excessive use of indent and the special font for the entries. I typically dress it up a bit more by adding icons or cut out pictures like so:

Bliss Buckly

☂️ 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲:

Bliss Buckly

☂️ 𝗔𝗴𝗲:

24

☂️ 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁:

Infinite Nanny: Bliss has a way with children. She can keep them entertained for hours with stories, games, jokes, and can cater to their every need. Her abilities are so good that some say she is capable of reading their thoughts.

☂️ 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲:

Bliss wears loud outfits to make herself more appealing to children. She's currently going through an art deco phase and wears clothes of that era. In particular she likes the glamorous dresses, gloves, and especially the flowery hats found in 1940's America

☂️ 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

Bliss finally caved and decided to go see if she was really clinically insane. She has an impulsive need to touch things and occasionally hears voices.

☂️ 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:

Bliss acts a bit like everyone's grandma. at her best she's talkative, gives good advice, and is spoiling everyone rotten. Also like a grandma, she can be suborn and proud. However her confidence does fail her at times, especially in heated situations. It usually doesn't take much to lift her spirits again. Bliss is into doing womanly things like cooking, cleaning, and watching over small children. However she also enjoys gory horror flicks, mystery stories, and ancient/medieval history.

☂️ 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮:

Bliss is fairly active on the internet, and does a lot of campaigning and hosts charities for various groups. She is very much for anything that promotes love, life, and understanding. Bliss does not believe in attacking people who oppose her views, and values open discussion with individuals. Bliss has also raised millions of pounds for various charities, all to support children. Despite her online presence, she's actually a very difficult person to get a hold of in person. The only real way to get a hold of her is to send Bliss an E-mail and hope she's interested in being your child's nanny.

EDIT: I also go for a secret questionnaire so that people can share more private aspects of their character with me. But that doesn't get a special format or anything.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Buddha For my one RP on here, the first week was rough. But that was because I was answering questions, approving characters, monitoring OOC, and trying to write a fairly lengthy opening post that involved 15 player characters that weren't mine. Yes, it was absolute sin. I was wondering why I subscribed myself to this sort of hell. After that however, it was all smooth sailing.

Admittedly, not a lot of people have joined my RP since then. However, I find the process rather painless without the mounting pressure of accepting other characters/posting/etc. You just right click the link, copy link, and paste into URL tags. If you have 2 windows open, it takes about 10-15 seconds per character. It saves a lot of time in the long run.
