Topic: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

I don't know how much work is involved but unlike other forums roleplay is desperate for continuity.  Is it possible to bring back some of the "good" old roleplays?  Insanity was coming back,  Think borg had one or two he was working on, Space, never read, was being updated and I liked the old poerty thread but I guess a new one wouldn't hurt too bad.  Thank and any other that I missed.

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: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

This happened before and it took awhile, but roleplays came back up again.  We'll have to make due with what we have right now.

Tnks Arocalex, darn now I'm upset with the hacker.  It was funny for a bit but why destroy the date?

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

Yeah, that's why I wasn't happy when I saw what the hacker had done.  Creativity isn't hard to find, but amassing it makes it so.  I don't know why people thought it was funny and if the hacker was originally from anon, then anon are nothing but people who possess superiority complex.

You just have to find the link to an old thread, and search for cache:url.

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

They really will come back?  Whole threads?

Crap my Negative tag points are gone, I used to be a Used Spaceship Salesman.

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

And I used to be a Sub-Ethereal Talk Show Host (I'll be damned if they don't give that one back to me X()

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

I think I was a Spaceship Salesman of some kind, too.  Ironically, I'm now a Player, despite not playing the game in years.

You didn't read Neo Variety Hour, so they killed me.  But even death can not stop my awful, awful posts.

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

Lets just see it as a fresh start perhaps (though I lost some as well). I have just got back to the board but have noticed there has been a big all round improvement in peoples writing - theres so much good fresh stuff I don't know where to start! Also the RPA is on the attack again which is always good.

Maybe we should call these the Phoenix pages? :-)

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

For fellow researchers, http://web.archive.org is a great tool for recovering ancient RP threads. Unfortunately, there's a delay of 6 months between crawl and archiving, so it won't have anything killed by the most recent forum wipe.

Lol, Zidi.  I read "theressome" as "threesome" tongue

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

I thought there was some uber HP fan boy who was saving all of Nolio's stuff?

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

If I recall, when I was still reading it, someone posted that they were copying the entire Harry Potter story here onto their computer, just in case a thing like this happened.
Damned if I can remember who.  Or how much of it they'd have.  So basically, got nothing.
I could actually easily bring back Jokemon, but that would be an inconceivably terrible thing for me to do.

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

I guess I'll have to re-post my sci-fi parody story.  Should I do the whole thing or just the recent movie...

Re: Can the Roleplays be brought back?

http://web.archive.org = Amazing!

Of all the roleplays I used to play, I think Mage Wars was my favorite (or maybe that's just nostalgia), I don't really have time, but to anyone interested, I would recommend resurrecting it.

I resurrected this piece from Mage Wars with the web.archive (^_^)... from the old days when we hadn't conceived of OOC threads and didn't need character descriptions because part of the fun was introducing the character through writing.


"Theros didn't have long to ponder Dryania's look's for they soon left the ground to enter the throne room in the center of the Earth Tree. The chamber was huge with a raised platform on which two thrones sat. The room was dimly lit by small fungi that covered the walls along with creepers thorns, vines, poisonous plants, and other abominations of nature. The dim light was just enough to reveal the creatures that resided within. An army of thousands of parasites filled the chamber and there were thousands more not even in the throne room. Dryania and her mages had created a few of these abominable creatures that were able to spawn quickly and create an enormous army. All these creatures were a mix of metal, earth, stone, and wood, and held together by magic. The originals had evolved to become more powerful then the rest of the army and were leaders in it just as the earth and darkness mages were.
Dryania had taken her seat while Theros had been admiring their army. Now he walked to her and sat on the throne next to her and lifted his fist in the air.
"TO WAR!" he shouted as the army burst out into joyous screams of war that would have destroyed any mortal ears and shook the earth.
Miles away, the once green trees at the Hub dropped their illusion of health and became dead and decaying masses of wood. Darkness once again arose on the Earth.

[OOC: Just to get this straight and stop any further complaints, I am NOT god moding. I have simply established that Dryania is corrupted, in league with Theros, and as a huge army that she has been creating for years. She can still be beaten or changed back. Just think about what is strong against Earth/wood (*coughs* fire) and you can beat her and Theros. Talk to ya later boys.]
[P.S. I don't have time to proofread so just ignore any typos. Love ya! Bye!]"


Oh, and if anyone is interested, here's the old intro for the roleplay:

"-Absolutley NO god moding

-You cannot kill someone unless they do not post for three days

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so heres the story. The world as we know it does not yet exsist. It is a time of beasts, swords, and of course, magic. You may summon troops to fight for you, cast spells on other players, and lay seige to anothers stronghold. The world is in need of order. It needs someone to take total control and bring it peace and prosperity. You must play the game as you see fit, be it by alliances, or by betrayals. Do you best.... or your worst...."
