Forum side roleplay - out of work roleplay.

[Jakers457]

Since my return to this humble community, I have had the idea in mind to create a forum side roleplay for those who wish to develop their characters outside of work. I've given Skull a rough layout to how it would be presented and have given a few mentions to a couple of staff members.

But I decided, seeing how they're pretty busy with all manner of things. I'd present the idea to you guys, see who'd appreciate it and who'd lack an interest in such a thing. Also I'm not that great at these formal posts so, discuss away.

I love the idea of a forum method to further develop characters, I made two IC social networks to promote IC Forum to IC Game connections and Social Screeching has done quite well.

Please. Want. Will help if asked.

It's one of those things where you could easily just go to skype/steam/byond pager/ whatever else you use. I am aware of multiple people, myself included, who use skype for out of work RP.

Not saying I'm against it, just making a point.

This. People would find it more simple to go over Skype or the Pager to RP, for out-of-work stuff.

Not saying it can't happen, but just saying that there are more practical ways to RP out-of-work things, without adding it to the forums.

Well, we can use forums for public off-screen RP, like parties and stuff.

I like to think the forums is more accessible, when the entirety of the community can simply go there and make a short post or so for their thread.

In cases like this, yeah. That makes sense to have something that everybody can jump into.

You won't have to arrange it either, just start a thread with [Open] in the title if you wish for anyone to join.

But it all really depends on how many members will want it or appreciate it.

I'd certainly like this. This means I get to roleplay Lockie more and get more attention. Please give me attention.

I'll join up

Seeing as more than just two people want it to happen, I'll speak to Skull and Scopes about it, and see if we can't get the Forum roleplay section set-up with some rules on Aurora RP and OT RP.

I want it but given that so much of roleplay is back-and-forth conversations or interactions I don't think the forum would necessarily be the best place for it. I'd rather have a chatroom whee we can create rooms for our various "locations" (I.e. #Menell_Library , #Finn's_Apartment , #Placid_Lake, etc.)

Uh, dont we already have this already?

You know, forum roleplay section in the bottom of the page?

[Jakers457]

Though similar they don't entirely serve the same purpose. What I have in mind is more structured and focused on who the characters currently are from the server without parody.

How I would describe it, is the characters living their lives outside the station with what happens holding a permanent point in that characters story. Be it something as simple as going for a coffee to something like, saying farewell to a passing friend.

If that makes sense at all.
