Topic: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

Just an idea I had late last night to try and boost activity, perhaps even attract new blood. Personally I'd be happy if people just read it, but now I'm jabbering:

An IC story or Roleplay, something fairly simple, with a definite goal, that would be both fun to read  and  play? I know we have "Space" but after three parts I don't think it's very n00b friendly anymore.

We had one of these tongue. And questions was uber good in. Or was it algebra, dunno, i forgot tongue. But it died when I went away and einstein had problems(he was dealing with it)

Or simply teach them how to actually RP, show them the ropes so they can jump into the "newbie unfriendly' RPs such as Space.

And idk if Space is unfriendly towards newbies, seeing as how it was where I started tongue

Exactly.

Trust me, Space is very off-putting for n00bs.

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

It may be putting off for noobs now, but before the forum re-do it wasn't. Maybe cause me, Aro and Nai joined kind of raised the bar :\

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

I believe most readers would rather appreciate having a higher bar. Means the content is more engaging, more imaginative thus the reason why we have like 30 times more reads than the second most read thread in RP forum.

In fact, I say lets make sure it stays that way, our readers seem to expect it of us.

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

I'd rather have a lower bar with more players, then a high bar with more readers.

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

We couldnt lower the bar if we even wanted to now. Only new RP's can help

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

I have a theory:
Space has more reads than any other thread on the board because the active players within the RP constantly check an re-check for new posts, thus artificially inflating the numbers.


And as for "Do we even have any n00bs?":
To my knowledge we do not, which kind of proves my point.

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

Obviously fokker, thats just commom sense. But I do believe we got 1 or 2 readers. But I dont do this for them perse. But for my own amusement aswell as those who participate

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

seriously, how do you write role play story with many people?  Ive never done that before.

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

lol, seriously?


hmm, That should be lesson one. To know how much to write, the general direction, knowing when to stop etc.

Re: Imperial Conflict Story/RP?

Ok, so from my understanding, people write their own stories, really, and rarely do the players' characters actually interact.  How can they?  How do you make your post 'interactive' with another's?
