I think. Conscious may have some difficulties with Eppie. Who knows what'll happen. xD

Do notice that it loads a bit faster and smoother. On my phone it loads the whole page at once, rather than sections in quick succession.

@NuttsnBolts

I would agree to this. Or if it simply adds characters instead of accounts, it could hold a drop down or a new page with each character a player uses. Though, it's intended to build community with those here instead of attracting new visitors, but I can certainly see how that would improve it, especially if characters can be hidden.

@LegendBegins

I do remember that topic where there could be a library of characters in the profile, rather than the forum with threads. That would be a great idea as GMs and other players could look around and see the characters that people made, while looking at profiles and getting to know the community.

As for building a sense of community, I believe that a feature that distinguishes the Guild from other roleplaying sites would increase the sense of pride that participants have. I believe that an idea you suggested long ago would be a perfect example of a unique feature: the ability to easily switch between characters or accounts without logging out. I have seen no websites deploy this feature at all.

@LegendBegins

While I can see this as a unique idea (much like how you can change channels in YouTube) I don't think that it's a first choice for new members as they are probably still rating the site and seeing where they fit in the grand scheme of things, but rather for established members that want to vary their persona's and writing styles. Something I would ask is that would the link between the two accounts be visible for other's to see? eg: if you were to enter the profile, would it possibly have a tab stating "Other/Linked User accounts."

Hello everyone!

New to the site, and this RPG caught my eye. I've got a character worked out with Hellis (should be up in the character thread) and I'm looking forwards to writing with all of you.

@Ophidian

Welcome and best of luck in your evil endeavors.

How to manage your Roleplay group size.

I do not think it is easy to reach a point in an advanced RP where you have too many people; the effort behind making advanced posts tend to keep everything moving smoothly. I could see it becoming a problem in more casual RP's though, where posts move so quick that the story outpaces the rpers.

@Vilageidiotx

So essentially by increasing the post length and quality, you can have more people involved without it becoming too chaotic? Does make a fair amount of sense in some regards since people will be spending more time on their individual posts, rather than thinking whether they need another post in a few hours or a day.

Pokemon!!

@JenovaProjectIt's ranked 19th on speed and 73rd on special attack, so there's only a handful of Pokemon that are faster than it.

Its actually used in conjunction with Pokemon like Ninjask in order to Max out it's speed quickly and hit first time most of the time. Downfall is it's a glass cannon so it can't take much of a pounding.

Pokemon!!

Arceus is my god. :)

Favourite: I have 3 tops that I usually like to have on my team, but I'll go with Starmie. It's a Pokemon that can cover a large number of weaknesses with it's ability to learn water, ice, psychic and even lightning attacks. Add that to the speed and high special attack, and it's a fun pokemon to start a playthrough with (Yes, I hack one into every game I have as my starter).

Worse: Porygon and all evolutions. I have memories of getting the insane amount of coins in Pokemon Red, only to purchase a crappy normal pokemon that was piss weak to many others. By that point I had a Dragonite, Zapdos, Haunter, Blastoise, Flareon, and Parasect that were doing quite well, and that artificial pokemon was not worth the time and effort!

Any suggestions for Conscious?
Having trouble finding anything. And coming from me its a shocker.

@Song Book

I went through a few genres for mine and found metal suited her better.

With yours however her abilities are more around thoughts and mind control, so would a genre that compliments that help? Something that when you listen you are inspired by ideas?

Maybe artist like Approaching Nirvana, or I Am Sleepless? Or even a song like Requiem for a Dream?

How to manage your Roleplay group size.

I've heard people state that smaller RP group sizes are easier to manage and more personal, and that larger groups allow for more variety and an overlapping in stories and adventures. But is there a point when a group can become too large for a roleplay? And if it does what are some ways to manage that size? (ie, is adding a co-gm the only option)

Just curious as to what people think and what numbers people end up being comfortable with before things get difficult to control, and at what point do they say "no more entries". Especially if you're after 1 more player and 2 apply with equally gods character sheets.

It also raises the question on posting orders and what are some methods for larger groups to prevent people ninja posting others, or on the other hand, believe that they can't post because they have to wait for 4 other players to post.
