Not to mention, but you'd probably trigger AdSense. I bet you don't wanna be the reason for a second Guildfall. Lol

In that case, should the above still be in cards, I'd like to quote my question that never was answered. @Mahz @LegendBegins


If it is down, it'll just mean that you wont be able to submit a post as the site will be off line.

In regards to the time taken to write a post and how it may be turned off by the time you finish writing and click that "Post" button, I would assume you would do the right thing and back up the post anyways. Yes, Guild does have a simple save feature for 6 hour drafts, (which is good for general discussion/chit chat posts), but the autosave function has never been a designed as a feature you should wholeheartedly rely on. For RP posts you should be drafting them up on something like Google Docs anyways... at least that's what I do.
I'd like to change my name from Endeavor to Zuko


Done, but your last change was only 2 months ago. Normally it's every three months.
Exactly as it says in the tin. What is the worst writing advice you've ever been given?

Awesome work Legend!
I find the GM x player mix just never works out and you're always left carrying the story. Most of the RPs I've had that have failed are because people expect you to create ALL the details when the best stories are the ones where it's a balance between your combined interest.

I also like to add subtle hints for when the other character is near, or able to interact with my character. It's a real pain when the partner creates what feels like their own solo adventure, and it's also frustrating when they fill it with a spectacle of NPCs (one or two no name fillers are ok). I've backed out of 1x1s for both these reasons.
@Typical Looking through another way that I can view the contents of the thread, there was no information besides multiple posts with the phrase "-Redacted-" over and over again.
There are heaps of people that RP in private and I can visually see the numbers of public and private posts, so the activity is there.

What you may find that even though a lot of people are home in isolation and quarantine, they are still living busy lives and aren't exactly in a holiday mode. People aren't going to the movies, aren't going to holiday destinations, and even in some places aren't leaving their home except for groceries. That all hinders creativity greatly as you are physically limited in activities and have to stay within your home.

There have been studies and checks done to show that people have generally become more laxed and lazy while at home during this period, and people have been sleeping more often as there's no reason to rush to get to a workplace by 9. There's home schooling aspects too which reduces free time as well. Those who are still working, me being one of them, are dealing with so much workload that it is physically exhausting.
Everyone flipped their lives and still dunno where they stand.

So I don't think the site is kinda dead, I just think that people have been distracted with other events in the world and it's taken a toll mentally and creatively. We're not in a bubble immune from the world and if people are struggling to work out what to cook for dinner for the 10th night in a row as no take aways are open, they're gonna struggle to RP.
Hey Nadia and welcome, even though it's not your welcome thread, but that's all good.

If you're look to start a roleplay what you could do is add some details on what sort things interest you or maybe even a few sample plots you would like to play out. Help narrow down some of those interest and it might make it easier for people to see if you're right for them as well.

Have you also had a look at others' interest checks?

As for having a chat, my inbox is pretty much open all the time. You can also catch me occasionally on the discord server along with many others. We're pretty friendly and don't bite... Maybe some will, but most won't. Lol
