The Book Club

On holidays at the moment and got a few things to sort out with my RC car, but next week should be fairly clear so I'm hoping I can finish reading The Neuromancer. After that I have my Matthew Reilly book too that I gotta read.

Name Change?

Nah, I mean it is locked for three months so if you wish for a change you will have to wait until then.

Went ahead and did it anyways.

Name Change?

@WelcmeToGudBrgr Typhon as in the Greek monster, and not Typhoon?

Just checking cause changes will be for 3 months.

Name change?

[@iTem] done.

Lethe: A Dark Souls-inspired RP Idea

Dropping some interest yo!

I would like to change my User

@WelcmeToGudBrgr We cannot delete accounts, again, same reason for it can screw up the database cause there hasn't been anything introduced in the site coding to help clear out the previous user's posts or disassociate any connection back to that account.

The best I can do is ban the user, however I must ask that you PM me from that account when making that kind of request. Just a formality to ensure no errors are made.

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

So, another small off-site bitch but

First time I have ever had someone moan at me for changing my profile pic cause I was bored of the other one

Because it apparently "confused her cause she doesn't read usernames but goes on profile pictures" so therefore I'm not entitled to change it apparently XD

SHOCK HORROR

@The Elvenqueen

Back on my EA-UK forum days I had the same avatar for about 3 years. A little 80x80 (cause that was the Max size) pic of Amaterasu from Okami with "Nutter" on the side.

Guild... And I change my avatar every few weeks.

Hello Guild

@Bumibum
Hello and welcome. Horror and psychological RPs are pretty awesome and had a few myself that went well.

Just on a note, I edited the title to your intro just to avoid any racial concerns. If you haven't seen them, check out the site rules page. You should be fine, but it's always good to know what the site allows.

Harem roleplay?

I don't see why it can't be done as it is a certain genre of sorts. Hell, people watch the bachelor and bachelorette on a regular basis just to see who the final couple may end up being, so creating an RP around this premise isn't too far out of the norm.

A few things need to be addressed though and that's with the characters, and the interactions. You need a well designed male character, not some boring schmuck. They need to be desirable, attractive, either walled off person who never asked for this or an open charmer who knows the females will fall over for him (depending on the type of harem story you want), and most of all interesting for the players (both male and female) to read. If it's none of these then how can you expect characters to generate a lust/love for them without it sounding like some trashy love triangle.

You also need to avoid, like really avoid, inserting yourself into the character as a Mary Sues/Gary Stus. If you're creating this to get your rocks off on an online roleplay where people desire over an avatar of you, stop immediately... what you are doing is not fair on the other players who are probably in it to create a unique story experience. There are plenty of places out there for you to cyber your kinky fantasies, and the Guild ain't one of them. I can't speak for all 1x1s however, but this is a group we are talking about; different people with different threshold levels. Make it clear what it is you want and perhaps you'll actually make this happen.

Lastly, determine the type of RP setup you want—public or private. PM RPs can cater to 5 people. That's 4 female characters and 1 male if it's 1 per player. Private RPs do open to more adult content but run the risk of people feeling more uncomfortable about the direction. A public Roleplay will have certain restrictions on what can be written, but at least the players will feel comfortable knowing that what is posted follows some decency.

I would like to change my User

We can only change names to unoccupied name slots. If there is already a taken name then it must be of a certain age/post/pm count before we can change it as you are essentially taking someone's old account. The mods however cannot do this, only Mahz as it does require work to be done to the database.

The reason for this is your old name URL will still work (eg: Grimhildr will still lead to Grim's account), and if we were to assign you to a previously taken username, there could be database problems with the link back from the old name leading to your new name, or the recycled account (Eg2: Grim wanted Grimm initially, but that account was taken, held 22 posts, and had a dozen PMs).

If you're unsure of a name, ask and we will let you know what we can do.

Hope this helps. @WelcmeToGudBrgr
