Topic: How did RPA form?

People want to know!

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: How did RPA form?

It was about the end of the second MS Wars when SupAll and maybe a few others decided to form RPA for a few reasons.

A: we wanted a separate forum to talk OOC about the games we were playing, it takes much less time to coordinate with multiple people on a forum than on aim, specially with the time zone differences and such.
B: sort of like a seal of approval, while people in RPA may not have been the most creative individuals it sorta represented that we were experienced enough to know the behavior expected in such games
C: that's all i remember right now :\

Re: How did RPA form?

It was simpler than that - There was [TI] and [TiC] who enjoyed the General forums.  So, we had [RPA] for the Roleplay forums.  It became a more cohesive group as we tried to get a forum modder for the RP forums.  Then there was ICRP forum that Algebra created.  At first, it was a closed group but it eventually got to the point where anyone could put RPA in their name.

Re: How did RPA form?

Wait, anyone could put RPA in their name? Last time I recall there was still some sort of application and procedure.

Re: How did RPA form?

Back in ancient history, there was a procedure of sorts that involved being recognised as an exemplary roleplayer / writer by your peers. These days, the RPA tag isn't institutionalized anymore, though those of us who earned them the hard way still wear them with pride.

I had earned it the hard way and I refuse to wear after that insane Estonian freak went all Khan on the RPA.
