Well, we all know THAT'S never going to happen. Seriously. Treasure those moments in which you can RP at the same time as your opponent in a battle.ScottLillie said:

That would be up to the content of the RP itself, and how lenient/sadistic the Game Master is.Ashbax said:
Well, I'm still new here, so I'm not exactly sure on how well the RP is here. This thread basically says that the GMs aren't really committed to their game, which I hope I can be. I've done roleplays before, and I'm usually committed to my game, but it usually seems that my players aren't. :/
Also, what is "trench-coating"? Never heard of that term before.
Yeah, that would help separate the serious and the non-serious stuff. And that way, we don't have to put "RP" somewhere in the title, and put that the thread is a serious-roleplay blah blah blah.Zemalac said:
I understand. On another forum, you could delete posts in your own RP thread, in case of griefers and OOC/offtopic stuff in a non-OOC thread (I liked to separate the two, so the flow didn't break).

My character is badass. He has no past, no last name. His first name is 'Bloodrazor'. He weilds a Katana like a practiced legend and wears a trenchcoat. He's deep, dark nad mysterious because I say he is and he speaks in awesome one liners...Shapsters said:
That's a trenchcoat, a character that has no depth, and tries to use 'Mystery' to excuse his lack of development. Unstoppable in combat, surly and silent. Assholes.
Basically, layering on cliche and 'awesome' to try and excuse horrible writing and a lack of character. Avoid it.
OHOHO I LOVE WHEN SOMEONE TRENCH-COATS! I like to link the thread to my friends through MSN and laugh maniacally at them. In my old forum, I think we called that "Sephiroth-ing".Ultrajoe said:
Hrm, if those MSN friends would get online, I could base my RP here. I'm beginning to like this community's RP section.
Bonus points for your correctness. The guy who changed my name way back when might not have been aware of this fact, but I do enjoy the touch of irony that goes along with my name.Ultrajoe said:You're a Tiki with shades, we all love you here already.TikiShades said:I could base my RP here.

(I think you might be an easter island head, however)
The only real thing I can think of is putting little avatars of you're player under your regular avatar. Just so people have an idea of who you are and what you do. Plus, words can only describe so many things, and some people (me) can't explain what they really mean.
Spinwhiz, you evil genius.
You made this thread so I could get my hopes up. Nevermind that you warned me!

As has been said before, splitting the forum games and serious roleplay sections would make everything alot easier. Also, despite the fact that it is in the spoiler tags, the OOC chat still disrupts the flow of the RP itself, so making a whole new OOC section would help to take care of that. As for the lack of player and DM commitment, there's nothing anybody can really do to help with that. If a player is inactive, then they can be kicked, and the title can be editted saying that there is an opening and new characters will be accepted. Reserves also help with that. But if the DM quits on the RP, well there's nothing you can really do about that. Granted, I haven't really been here that long (I'm one of Tiki's aforementioned MSN Buddies and came for his roleplay), so I'm not sure on the details. I could be completely wrong for reasons that I don't really know.
I don't think anything is happening. Spin told us he was working on this 2 months ago and we haven't heard an update, so I don't know if he never presented these ideas, or if they were just shot down. Spin never said anything.Stealthy Killington I said:
EDIT: Wilson said in IRC that they're working on it but changes will take a very long time to be put in effect.
Hi Peeps!
I apologize for my tardiness on this thread, I was not ignoring anyone at all but I wanted to update you with what I could. We have some implementations and possible changes coming up on The Escapist in the near future that may make some of the awesome ideas you have available, so I appreciate your patience.
For those items not covered, Kuliani and I are going to start trying to put together the rest. I don't mean to be cryptic but unfortunately there are some really great things we are working on that I just can't let out of the bag just yet. Just know that I LOVE these types of RPs and I'm going to do whatever I can to make this forum even more amazing.
Best,
Spinwhiz
