Well I find it that we're all opening RPs without any warning, we may have recieved a message or two from someone who is going to open one. But they suddenly pop up, and sometimes it takes time to notice them. Well of course with the low number of RPs going on at the moment, that isn't a problem, however this is also a good place to rally interest.

Here you may post about what RP you are opening, or have opened.

We may also discuss what sorts of RPs we want to see.

While there is a low number active now, I'm hoping to see the numbers shoot back up like it did in the old days.

Anyone up for a Bleach RP?...

I feel that now isn't the time to open an RP, we should wait for when more members come in

Nonsence, we don't seem to have any running (unless that FMA one kicks off) so its best to open on based off something almost every member knows a bit about.

That would be Naruto actually... This IS a Naruto Forum

Though if I remember correctly Fantasy RPs were quite active, as well as Modern day RPs, but the forum's somewhat split between it.

And I don't want to play a Pokemon RP D:

And even if you open a RP now, no one will join it...
As ichi said, we need to wait for teh forum to get filled in again...

It's summer brake everyone is away on vacations...
I'll be leaving soon (and as you see I log in less then before)

I don't nesseserly think that thats the issue. I mean most vacations last no longer than a week, and this whole summer the RP section has more or less been dead, so you can't pin it all on vacations. I mean I've been here, Omega, Ichi, You Fillip, Thunder, we've all been floating around.

What I think the issue is that all the RP's are more or less the same. I don't mean what they are, but how their played. Perhaps if one of us comes up with something new and appialing to the general public then the games will get roleing again. Thats just a thought though. It could also be that the forum is slowly dieing.

Well for a different one, I was thinking for a complete free-roam one. Like when your a ninja and you get ranked up, not via a plot, every user is different and you really need to learn the technique's...
But everyone turned it down before so yeah...

[ichijin]

Free roams require us to have a whole lot of motivation, as it is up to the player to make it interesting.

Before we begin a free roam RP, we need to think about it, are we all motivated enough to make a story of our own in a world someone else has set up?

Usually people need people to interact and push each other along, but that only goes so far.

Vile, no mater what kind of RP you open it'll fail hard...
What's teacher without students, or look at it as an empty bowl...

Having no one to join your RP is = to having no RP at all...
And when no one joins a RP, the RP fails...
If you are online more often you'll notice that TF is actually deserted...
I for one visit TF less often during summers (same with last summer)

I believe it's like that with everyone...
It's not just cuz people are somewhere away
(on beach and etc with no internetthat lasts only 10 days or so)
It's that everyone tires to be out, with friends and away from the PC,
regardless of them being away on a trip or in their home town...
