I have a suggestion about your Roleplay (rp) section... most notably the AE Community...
It's not that I'm comparing or favoring other Roleplay sites rather than what we already have here, but I really can't help but wonder if you guys might want to do an extreme make over on the said section?
Take this site for example...
The Immoratal Coil (TIC - Mooncalf Studios)Well, this site centers in the roleplay aspect, so its no wonder Crowdrake / Mooncalf / David put much effort into fabricating this little realm of his.
Since this site have an anime inspired roleplay realm with not much solid background, I was wondering if you guys would like to put much effort into fabricating the landmarks and places all over the "AE City"? I mean, we don't really need a map or something, we might as well just center only in the city and just add a different board for those who wish to roleplay in places outside the city or maybe into another realm...
Maybe like this perhaps...?
MAIN BOARD NAME: AE Community Sub-board/s:
> Registration Court / Character Sheets
> AE City
> City Outskirts and Beyond
> Roleplay House / Into Another Realm
This way the roleplayers could basically think of anything to roleplay without constraining the imaginative aspect of it...
The current situation is...
example:
Thread name - Gakuen Academy
It doesn't really give much of a "roleplay interaction feel" your basically just posting a story for yourself and waiting if the character of others would like to interact with yours. There really isn't any solid plot in the said thread, it's just a place where student (characters) would meet and just basically do the normal activities seen in school and a few not so normal things as well... Honestly, it's like a mayhem of oddities slammed in one thread... I know that you guys would defend by saying that this is how you guys wanted the roleplaying idea to be... but, there really must be a clear order and a freedom of a good storyline / plot making...
So rather than having members creating all by themselves I would advice you guys to recreate this as...
Sub-Board Name: AE City
> Pinned Thread - AE City Description
This thread would basically contain all the places that are known so far in the city...
example:
- Cafe Elites (plus add description)
- Gakuen Academy (plus add description)
- and so on and so forth....
That way members would have the freedom of creating a new thread where they might invite or just wait for random people to join in, with his / her chosen storyline or plot... with this, they are not only limited to roleplaying in the Gakuen Academy (or any other places for that matter), but witin that thread they can basically roam around the whole city... also in this way the plot / storyline is independent from the ideas of others... As well as the fact that they'll be able to create a "current life" storyline / plot for their characters...
Since you allowed multiple (maximum of 5) characters at the same time, then the usual roleplay idea of having a single character in multiple threads must be prohibited, since it would be giving to much already... if you'll decide to settle with just one character per member, then simultaneous participation in different thread may be allowed...
If you would allow me, and give me enough time, I would loved to chart out (in words) the places and landmarks that would be proven useful in molding of the whole AE Community roleplay board...
If you might notice, I'm just mostly interested in the Roleplay aspect of this site...
But hopefully you might see the beauty of the idea I am trying to imply...
