I don't like the idea of dice rolls. For the sole reason that you could roll ten 1's and then what would happen?

Just to ask the swirling aether... are any staff/mods reading this thread?

I assume so, but sometimes I need to feel that i'm loved.
It's been a few days Past-joe, I think we are forsaken.

What joy is there in this curse?

I like to think they're too busy implementing our suggestions to reply.

Spelling would also help.

Also, I'm agreeing with everyone about the dice rolls.
They could help or ruin Escapist, it's a matter of chance.

Perhaps a sticky, something like "Most popular RP authors" or "Most popular RPs that are still open for joining"

A small icon which can be changed by the OP.

"CLOSED GAME"
"OPEN GAME"

Or something. Maybe a simple battle system, or a visual way to represent different values, like health bar, mana bar...

No offense spin but i'm a little disappointed. I know you guys are busy keeping the escapist turning and flying and rockin', but while we know all we are offering is opinion... you did ask for said opinion. And so i feel a a little hurt when only one staff member seems to be aware of the threads existence, and has not yet posted with an update. Even if this is whiney, and there hasn't been a meeting to bring it up in yet, could you let us know that? We're in the dark here, and we care about this forum enough to want some of these changes. We understand we can't be in the loop, but it would be nice to be told there is in fact a loop going on.

Don't get me wrong, the very fact that this thread has been made is appreciated, and we never doubt your intentions or Ultraness, but while you guys are altering the cosmic plane I just thought I should remind you that there are people who care down here in the mortal realm. People who are currently not wondering where the thunder comes from, but if there is even a sky.

Anything you can give us is appreciated.

I think he knows what we're saying, and he's taking it into account. There may be more protocol than just, "I want it, so it will be" mentality.
I'm not saying you're wrong, though. There do seem to be very few staff members in the RP section. Fewer than Off-Topic or Game Discussion, at least. This does seem like the Forum's step-headed redchild, if you know what I mean.
I'm just saying it may take more time than previously thought. They have their priorities. I think that Off-Topic, and Gaming Discussion, being more densely populated than Games & RP, are getting more attention at the moment.

Spoiler'd for space purposes.

What I wrote in a nutshell: Patience is a virtue.

Dont worry, i'm patient as a suit of armor. I'm just worried that you might be right, and RP is the butt of the forums.

One of the sections has to be I suppose. This one is understandable. RP is the least populated, it gets posts slower than the others, and it's fairly new compared to the other ones.
But it's also so very fun. My favorite one to go to, at least.

This would be good - currently, trying to work out want RP threads are active and open to new people is a chore.
