This. But with a few more words and having them worded so that the form makes no sense... I would prefer that form to one that is confusing at best.

I've never been in/created an rpg here, but I have on this other site. There was the first one, about mutants who had just escaped from a lab and trying to survive outside in this sudden new place. Well, that was the idea. It just turned into random-crap-rpg, and the newer members were only, like 10 or 11. They were completely illiterate, only managed to dregde up a couple lines for every post. I tried my best, but the rpg still died out cause the ten or so members were waiting for literally months for other people to post. I created a sequel - which became the biggest rpg on the site with 12000 plus posts, I think it was. Again, the noobs from the origional rpg managed to find it and rejoined. Somehow they were dumber than ever. -_-
I remember one time, I ended up with one of my characters fighting this noob's character. My character was a clone of another, essentially an evil twin. At the time, they were both 21. This other character was literally only 13, and she was part jay or whatever. I can't remember what exactly happened, but the other character, Saphirra (No, I did not mispell that) suddenly was able to to fly over my character (Who was edging 6ft) and kick her between the shoulder blades with so much force she was shoved facefirst to the ground, dazed. Le gasp! :evil: And Saphirra was then able to doge all swipes and blows, and she then bit my character's arm. At that point, I stopped and threatened to ban her if she did that again.
I've created another rpg, and already there are noob rulebreakers! I'm thinking about introducing a "Three strike" system - they break any rule, first they get banned for a few days, then a week, then banned entirely.
Also, in the above rpg, there's this other, really literate rp'er who has a character that a different character of mine is involved with, and whenever I post, compared to hers, mine are rubbish, even though I really try to post a paragraph. T_T
Yet, overall, it's the illerates, noobs and rulebreakers that really p--s me off on that site.
Okay, I think my rant's over.

Fourth if I get any say! But, umm, isn't Jurassic Park a little unrealistic, anyways? I just hate it when people go out of the limits for a type of character when a book or movie clearly sets them...

It was. But that eventually died as well, so I've done a third one. If that one dies, I'm not gonna revive it. On the site, there are way too many wolves, dog, (warrior) cat, and mutant rpg. I've thought of ideas for unique ones, like an elephant or street dance rpg, but I'm awful at good, long lived plots. Plus I doubt many will join, and those that do will probably be illiterates anyway. Sigh.

I've spent thirty minutes looking for one freaking good semi-lit humans roleplay. None to be found. >.>
I'm an opportunistic person- always willing to try new things. Yet, there are no things to be tried. All I see concludes of vampires/humans.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. >_<

Well, the idea behind Jurassic Park isn't exactly blindingly fake. It does sound possible to take dinosaur DNA fron the blood of trapped mosquitos.

If I made it, would anyone be interested? It would be a relaxed semi-lit. As in, short posts are welcome, as long as they aren't frequent.
