Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

Frank Castle and Helena Bertinelli has become overcomplicated.

Of course.
Done.
@RubyHaving a clear description for it would help highlight its existence. I asked in the Guild Features if one existed and nobody knew it existed. Then I happened to look at the Test Forum after I was looking at the other sections to see if people were dropping world-building threads in there, and literally, the entire Test Forum was full of world-building concepts. :/ Though it's not advertised as a world-building section or anything RP related. I can only suppose that was why people didn't know what I was talking about.


It's advertised as a "do what ya want"--but I get what you mean.
Funny thing is, it's not a bad idea, the world building sub-forum. And if Mahz was being hyper-active, I can totally see him adding it. Much like the PW--if it fails, ohwell, why not try it? Might be popular. Not so much for this Persistent World RP, and a World-Building sub-forum might not be very active either, but it's an idea to keep around if you really think the Guild needs it. I could see it happening down the road.
@RubyBut are they testing BBcode for a RP they are "world-building"? Or Testing BBCode for non-RP reasons?


Why not both?
@RubyYou can edit the name to say "World Building" and then merge the Character Sheet section in there as a subsection. It makes it easier and condenses forums. My argument has been "Should a World-Building section be made?" How it is made whether adding a section or editing an existing one, however it is done, is not the argument. The argument was whether it should exist or not and it seems since majority of the people in here have been using the Test Forum like a world-building thread despite disagreeing with its existence...that alone says "Yes. It needs to happen."


I understood the argument.

I say no simply because I don't think it's necessary to narrow the focus of the existing Test forum. Keep it as is, enhance it's functionality by switching to RP threads, the users already use it for that, they're already there. Changes to the Guild, for reasons, are typically best approached by path of least resistance that still achieves the most common good.
I don't think the name should be changed, or anything should be merged. The Test Forum and Character Forum still have a purpose besides world building.


Yes. And I'm sure someone will use the Test forum for some other reason, and another besides that, etc. Keeping one's options open is good.

Plus if we rename Test forum, we'd still need a Test forum.
@RubyThe Test Forum looks exactly like a World-Building section with how people have been using it.


They wouldn't even have to go anywhere, then.
Seems like switching the Test forum from OOC threads to RP threads with all three tabs would be a solution to this, and still be a big enough umbrella for other uses.
Welcome to the Guild.
