Ok simply put, most people on .com either suck at rping, or rarely do it enough for anyone to know if they are good. Habbo rping is diffrent from forum rping...WAY DIFFRENT. So...here is my idea

due to lack of experence on forum rping from probly most of habbo rpers or the fact that alot of habbo doesn't rp at all anymore led me to the decision to ask for a forum rp section. In here it will be watched by a group of special mods that have power JUST in that secion known as RP Mods. Here anyone can start a rp and people can join in. Under set rules it will be made that if this idea gets across you can not kill someone IC in the forum rp enless agreed upon both with some sort of proof they agreed as they can't fight about it and say they didn't (this is subject to change) Thus if this is passed I do belive that it will be more educationg for members of this rp to learn to accually rp. As of such due to my exprences in forum rping I would like to ask if this gets past I be made a Rp mod just to govern it for the beginning and help anyone. As well as write up a list of needed topics and such.

After this you might as well understand the question is

Should we have a roleplay section?

Moved to Forums Updates/Announcements, as this isn't a rule change, nor does it follow the set format.

Good idea though

I just finished up with my old Rp roots and come back here it is sad to see so many people talking OOC or being immature idiots in a RP and really I want to do this. Pj tried it before but made it really really really complicated like a text version of KOTOR with rolling stats and all. If this does get passed and I am the head mod for it It will be very simple but strict to make sure someone accually learns something. If possible I may add a kinda "rp Level" system kinda as a bragging rights system but im going to work on it as I dont want to jump ahead.

No, forum rp is only going to stop people from logging on Habbo.

Forum Rp never worked. There was only like 3 active members last time I could remeber.

The last time forum rping I remember was when Pj did it and it was over-complicated. Enless you have ever been to a real sucsessful rp site then you probly dont have a clue how I would run this.

I say yes.

It doesn't have to be complicated or anything. Just a few simple rules, no god-modding, no killing someone's char without their consent.

Just make a sub category somewhere. And boom you can do it. If it isn't that active, oh well. Their will be a few who do it. Plus, not like there is anything to lose.

yea its not like on habbo where its pretty much Jaidiv sitting in the jedi order in a fight with someone over something stupid like normal. And if we do get a sceneario going this is where we can start to do IC things that would be hard to set up on habbo.

Uhm, FORUM RP. Sounds familiar? We had it once, went well for like a couple weeks then died.

im tired of repeating myself

The only one as far as I know to day was under Pj's control am I right?

If I am right then the same thing I have been repeating a few thousand times should be correct.

Pj over complicated things to the extreme. With the whole KOTOR style combat system it really was a horrible rp.

I am basing this off of the rp on a forum rp site I have been a member of longer then .com has been around. It is a great deal more simple.

Furthermore anyone who has been on the NRP forums in the past noticed that the rp there wasn't well organized but very simple making it pretty succsesfull. What im planning to do is make a simple rp that is well structured. And Hell who beter to add structure to something then a military school attendant. xD

So before you go off and rant about how the last one didnt work out, think about the fact that IM NOT PJ nor do I plan to make it any more complicated then it should be.

Are you flippin' joking? That isn't a bad system. He got it off the main forum rp site he used to rp on. That one has been around for a few years. It's not complex. When you said complex, i thought you meant the whole, you take over a planet, you use credits to buy barracks, and stuff like that.

I did mean that, and the whole your jedi level effects how much damage you deal. It required math just to do a single battle scene.

Pro's:
It will help people how to spell and write correctly.
It will most likely help with Roleplaying in .Com.

Con's:
Too many people will want to Forum RP, if indeed it does get THAT exciting, instead of Habbo, which ruins .Com Roleplay.
People will take their character, way out of porportian, and then use that in the Hotel. [Eg, He force Gripped several Sith at one time, and slamed them into the wall, creating havock through the Sith Academy.] Which would be imposible by Habbo standards.
Most Roleplayer's in Habbo don't know how to Forum RP, and it will just waste our time, for those who Do, and the ones the Don't.

I'm down, I guess. I forum RP on Gaia // Secret Forums. So yeah, It doesn't really effect me. :)
