If you create your own cuss word, will it be alright to use it? EX. "D'Arvit!" there is no point in translating that, as it would have to be censored.-Artemis Fowl

Yes, I think that would be fine.

Not many people are rping....most are making rpgs....is that what we are suppose to do?Cause that's no fun! Were all in this together,the same thing.....! I dont think they are suppose to make the rpgs...I'm not sure!

I don't quite get what you're saying, but this is how the rpg board works: You join the rps that are already created, and can even create your own if you want. Other people will join the rps you're in, and you'll all roleplay together. You can be part of more than one roleplay.

I've noticed some players are joining a role play posting a couple of lines then joining another role play and forgetting all about the old one. That really annoys me especially when that player's character has an important part in the RP. I'm not saying that joining multiple RPs is bad in fact I do it, but all I'm asking is that people please keep track of the RPs they've joined. An easy way to keep track is at the top of the screen is a link that says Veiw your posts it shows you all the topics you've previusly posted on.
Thanks!

on that i can agree i mean yeah i do play on like 30 Rps out there but i know every single one of them i play on them unless the Rps died which many have and i know all my characters names by heart and there places in each and every Rp i think i have only messed up once when i called my character by the wrong name.

[Hazel Pup]

I do to agree with both of you.

I have a lot of RPs out there too, can't count how much, and just like Nate said, I RP them unless they already died out. Which is sometimes a big shame because you really liked that RP. A lot of my Rps that i was roleplaying in are dead, which is a sad shame but thats the way it is.

Also, another thing that bothers me like crazy, is when you join an RP, and the person accepts you and then you post, everyone ignores it. They totally read over your post. I hate when like someone's gone for a day and the other people in the roleplay RPed like 17 pages. That shouldn't have happened. People have to consider every single person that joins. And not to forget that they joined your rp because they liked it! But when they just ignore you, that isn't right.
I know this happens a lot in Rps, where people ignore your post, or forget about you.


Anyone else have any comment on the matter?

The whole 'reading over' and 'posting 17 pages' is a big problem for me because I live in a separate timezone to most people. However, I don't think that there's any real way to moderate this. It's very difficult. It still does my nut in though. ]X

Could I suggest that a rule is made that, in every opening post, a reminder must be placed along the lines of "Help people to find an opening in the RP and make sure they don't get left behind". That way at least some reminder is always given, and it's a step forward to making sure RPers don't get left out.
