@Halvtand Done.

And no, members have never been able to delete their own posts. There was a trial for GMs deleting the posts in their RPs, but it had issues so it never got implemented.

How and why do RPs die?

Lots of good points but ask yourself firstly if it was the players or the GMs that were the main factors in the RP's death. Knowing where the trouble lies is knowing where you can address the concerns and if you need to apply remedies such as additional GMs, secondary characters, a discussion on plot, recruitment, or even the last resort case of a reboot/sequel.

One RP that I've been a part of is an RP that's gone over 2 years and several variations. We've added and removed players, rebooted into a failed attempt, and even had the original GM leave us, but the story has kept on going because the 5 of us have turned our characters into personalities through dedication (even at one stage I left the RP and returned with a fresh character to rejoin with). This is a rare case, but it has worked because as players we made an effort to help each other out and build the world as much as we could.

You need to listen to your GM, but your GM needs to listen to you as well. Too often I see RPs die because of a lack of communication and it can be because of silly reasons too.

Name change?

NCQuest -- To Be Rebooted

Smith's Rest, New Anchorage | Outside HQ

The Australian waltzed into the cafeteria, dreary and obviously suffering from a hangover from the previous day's drinking session. She obviously hadn't learned the art of pacing herself and today was going to be another one of those write offs with her nursing the agony of a throbbing headache. She could have sworn that she hadn't drunk that much, but did it really matter considering she was still sitting in limbo waiting for their next mission to start up?

That's right... limbo. While Stein, Alan, and Percy had managed to score tickets to a vacation away from base, Tahlia along with many of the others were stuck in the same song and dance that they had performed for the past eternity; a sloppy scoop of gruel for the daily intake of energy.

Tahlia dropped the tray of food onto the table, watching as it bounced once or twice before it decided to kick the cutlery onto the metal surface. She didn't really want to make the effort to collect the utensils but it was an unfortunate necessity with the alternate being to eat with her hands, much like a caveman from a millennia ago. How embarrassing would that be, to act like a complete ass hat in front of the others. It'd almost be as bad as hitting on Per...

Tahlia sat there like a stunned rabbit, retracing the thoughts that had passed through her mind.

"Hitting on Percy..."

The deep inhale of air as Tahlia recollected the fuzzy memories of the previous night; she had hit on Percy. The red-haired coward who brings his child onto base without any thought to what dangers that might bring to the team, and yet somehow he still manages to have some form of a family while she sat alone with a tray full of sludge in this frozen wasteland.

"God fucking dammit," the former commander slurred as she pushed away the tray, instantly loosing her appetite and choosing instead to light up a morning smoke.

@Burning Kitty Might leave that one for the time being as the GM commented and he seemed to joke about the dudes comment. I can keep an eye out for if they cause an issue, but that'll be another story.

As for bringing up stuff when you're not the GM, that's fine. We can have a look and make a judgement call if need be. Anything major and we'd contact the GM.

High Casual Rant

@Mara So as a side thought, are you in any RPs that are active, have a decent player base, and not really looking for new members, but at the same time feel that it may be more than benchline casual?

Asking cause lets say you propose the question to relocate the RP to advance to help boost the numbers there and show that it's not going to change the RP (even the thread will remain the same), do you think you'd get the buy in of other players?

I believe part of the concern also lies in how the Guild may advertise with many simply gravitating to Casual to look for an RP, but the final RP doesn't necessarily have to stay in that section.

(Do you have trouble cleaning, are you unable to get off the couch without spilling 5 gallons of juice, then I have the snake oil solution for you!)
