Mature RP forum?

[Shiney]

Hear me out before shooting this idea down, please. A lot of times, myself and a few of my RPing friends find ourselves limited by the pg 13 rules of the RP forums. Things like blood, gore, maybe the occasional r-rated subject involved, really limits some of the RPing that we cna do. Perhaps add in a pokemon and other RP forum that act like the T-dome?

[Soma Peries]

Yeah, although this was partly my idea, XD
Shiney was just kind enough to post it, XD
I think we need one.

[deathbyalice]

There actually is a place you can post stuff like this, but you need to be invited first, you would have to read the rules first though. Ask a mod about T-Dome.

[Soma Peries]

Thats not what we meant, we are talking about making a forum dedicated to mature RPing.

[Raichu Master]

Yes so do I! I've thought that for awhile, but hey I was the only one who wanted it at the time so I kept my mouth shut. So I back Shiney.

That's all I'll say for now, I'll wait to voice a true opinion when the contraversy starts! ^^

[Shiney]

Exactly. I said with a rule set like the T-dome

[deathbyalice]

lol, take that up with Satoshi-Kun or other admins, maybe they will let you.

[Shiney]

I hope so, that was the point of making this thread, so that every once and a while the more mature of the skilled RPers on PC can have one without a pg-13 limit.

[deathbyalice]

I agree with you, I do like to post above the PG-13, rating, but this is a family site. But yeah, it would still be great to have one, sorry I'm not much help though!

[Brittany]

Make it a subsection of T-Dome.

There, I've said my peace XD

[Raichu Master]

Well...would I be considered a "Mature" rper? OO

*thinks really hard* Eh, I'm to tired to think. So I'm just going to say that I am.

Anyway, a Mature forum for rps would be great to have! well I'm going to bed good night...

[Soma Peries]

This is a family site, but they do have the T-Dome, so why not this brilliant idea?

[Shiney]

Has this thread evenbeen around for 15 minutes? I'm amazed at the feedback I've gotten so far, and it's been good! I should have included a poll...

[Arekkusu Rizu]

A 'Mature' RP forum? I doubt that may happen, unless is put into the T-Dome, which I doubt. PC is made for people of all ages, but the rules state that no content of that should be posted within this forum. As for my opinion, we're okay with the one we have.

[Cool Cr@cker]

Yahh!!Chances for that are pretty less...But anyway.YOu may just consult this with Kairi-She's the one who makes al these kinda changes!

[JKPichu]

I could see a subsection to the T-Dome for this.

I haven't a problem with it. As long as it's isn't roleplaying sex.

[Shiney]

I could see a subsection to the T-Dome for this.

I haven't a problem with it. As long as it's isn't roleplaying sex.

I dont think something like that would happen, though we would probably have to have rules for it like that thing.

[Jason]

This could be a subforum of TDome...soits a cool idea :D

[Geometric-sama]

Wasn't there an idea like this for fanfics? Could we perhaps separate it so that you can put an M or MA rating, for example, on an RP as a warning? It would save the need for a subforum.

[Shiney]

I asked someone about this earlier, and I was told that it needed to be kept within the limits, because there's nothing stopping a nine year old from clicking on it. X_X

[Claire]

Couldnt an RP section be created in the t-dome? just an idea ^^;

[StarWarsPokemonAdventure]

I agree Mature rating all the way

[Flygon trainer]

I agree with the T-dome subforum idea. especially since I'm a master of bloodshed, and I can't do that here, due to ratings.

[ravenstorture]

I could see this aswell, and I'm all for it, yet the thought of a new forum for it is what may have the admins having second thoughts including the idea of a more mature RP here on PC, where there are a lot of people of all ages. Yet I don't see how they could turn it down because it is the same thing as the T-Dome, except RPs. If they don't want a new forum just for it, they could make a system for the RP Forum where you have to post a rating for the RP in the title. They could make the System: G,PG,PG13,R for example and whoever was making the system could come up with the criteria that would define what a G-Rated RP would be, PG, and so on and so forth. Just my two cents.

[Kairi]

The thing here though is this—if we created a section, it’d encourage a lot of “mature” RP all at once. Not to say we wouldn’t allow it, but people would probably use the new forum to make an RP they wouldn’t have made had we allowed them anyways, just so it can be “mature”. It’d be a place that’d have to be much heavier watched, since like I said it’d actually encourage the stuff.

Plus RP has always had its share of flames, and this wouldn’t probably help if people got in over their heads. If you simply –need- stronger material in your RP, you could have a mod tag it with a warning. But really, there is other places if you’re going to do an RP that centers around it heavily, instead of using it lightly.

[Lightning]

The T-Dome was meant for debating of a higher level than "Baths VS Showers" but now it's been taken as the Sex Forum. -_-; How can we be sure that any mature-rated RP forum won't bend the same way?

I honestly don't see why we need one. This is a Pokemon forum, supposedly meant for all ages. If you want to RP about maturer subjects, why not go to a more serious RPG forum? =\ (I'm not saying to leave PC, of course.)

Just to clear this up... what "mature" subject matter are we talking about for these RPGs?

[Shiney]

Blood, gore, maybe things like excesive cruelty in some cases, basically the kind of thing that might be considered to "intense" for a nine year old to be reading. I didn't mean I wanted an RP forum just for sex or things like that, while I don't see anything wrong with that theme being used lightly in some RPGs, but a place where the best RPers don't have to limit themselves to PG 13

[Lightning]

I don't see why that couldn't be done in the regular RP forums... we'd just have to implement a rating system. =\

<_< We need some RP mods in here..

[ravenstorture]

Obviously the T-Dome became the "Sex Forum" because, one: there wasn't a rule against sex themed threads and two: that is one of the biggest issued if not the biggest that teenagers face today, so of course they are going to talk about it. What is stopping you from making a rule saying, "No sex themed RPs" in a mature RP forum or section of PC? And Erica, I already came up with the idea of a rating system for the current RP Forum, incase you didn't see it.

[Shiney]

I thought I had asked about that before, and was told that I had to keep it within PC rules, which didn't really answer my question. a rating system would be nice.

EDIT: Piro, I'm not sure we should limit things to that extent, because inndiscriminate ammounts of sex isn't the thing that most RPers want to RP.

[ravenstorture]

I'm just saying that Lightning was making a big deal that this wasn't a good idea because it may turn out to be just a sex RP forum, and I just said if the admins don't want it that way then make a rule against it. Simple as that.

[~Ozy~]

I'm actually for this. I can see the problems, and of course there are problems. There always are. This is no reason to keep those of us who would handle this kind of stuff in a responsible manner from enjoying a good, mature RP. Tak, for example, an older and not ver successful RP, "Fallen Angels." I love that kind of stuff, and I daresay that a good few other members would as well. However there, I had to constrain myself and couldn't let my vampiric side run wild. I'd say make it a subforum of the T-Dome.

As for the flood of "mature" RP's that Abby mentioned, I doubt that the people who are actually serious about these things would participate, so the aforementioned flood would in all likelihood, whither and die.

As for flames, yes, RPing can engender such behavior. By the people that RPrs tend not to like. We prefer to have a nice, uninterrupted RP between responsible members that understand that a character may be antisocial and that's why that told you to "get out of my face before I slit your throat." So the flamers probably wouldn't last long there, just as they don't in many of the current RPs. As for the more serious RPrs, those arguements tend to be over little technicalities that we blow out of proportion. I don't know about the rest of PC's serious RPrs, but I enjoy a good arguement like that every now and then. But I also like to constrain it to a PM conversation.

About sex themed RPs, I most certainly wouldn't participate. I doubt that many of the people campaigning for this would either. I don't see this as much of an issue.

For a rating system, there's the obvious problem of people ignoring the ratings. Furthermore, there might be somewhat of a stigma associated with participating in say an R-rated RP that could carry over to other, more benign RPs. With a seprate, request-only forum, those hassles are mostly eliminated.

Finally, FT, I'll take you own for the title of "Master of Bloodshed" any day.

[Shiney]

Exactly adamant, that's precisely it.

[Neko-sama]

Lol as im here and checking u guys out i caught in the side of my eye mature lol! as being the dodgy wierdo kid here i would like to say go for it! lol but the kids here will all know ur really putting on a X-Rated webcam show with pokemon teddies lol! :D its a good idea but as u said pg-13 so the age limit would be 13 and ups?


Well I say Go For Tit! i mean It :P

[~Ozy~]

Thank you, Shiney. What I think is somewhat not being understood is that among serious RPrs is there's sort of an unwritten code (at least in my mind. Then again, I'm nuts) that carries to everywhere, no matter what the forums rules may be. This would be no exception. The sections that I think would pertain are:

-The story is god. The story is the only important thing and you will contribute to it in a meaningful way.
-Sex is allowable, as long as it doesn't detract from the story.
-Cursing, when used in moderation, can contribute to a sense of tension in the RP (I mention this because there seems to be a bit of a stigma associated with cursing in our current RP forums).
-Violence is a perfect mood-heightener. When it's reasonable.
-Desiption is good. Description seperates the good RPrs from the bad (I mention this because description of an act of brutality can reval a great deal of depth into a character's persona. I don't use a lot of my drow characters here due to inordinate amounts of sadism that would probably cause them to go on in-depth killing sprees. I've included two example description that, although they're the same act, reveal two seperate personalities).

1.His bare muscles, stripped of skin writhed in pain. His blood spattered my face and clothing, staining the normally pale skin a deep crimson. I raised the whip and struck again and again, bring more blood, more delight. I lost myself in the exertion, in the bloodlust. By the time I was finished, I was soaked in sweat and blood and a corpse lay cooling at my feet. I walked away, smiling broadly and licking my lips.

2.I was disgusted with what I'd done. His muscles lay bare and naked. Blood covered my robes and skin, the fabric reeked of it's stenceh. Nevertheless, I couldn't help myself. I raised the whip again and stuck. Hed tried to kill my family and friends. He needed to die. When he was dead, I recoiled at what I'd done, backing away in horror.

[Kyosuke]

A mature RP forum should be just a sub-forum in other roleplay, sometimes roleplayers want to be a bit more descriptive in their RP which I think is ok, but should not go overboard and a limit should be in place with the sort of descriptions being said.

So I say it should be an idea thats in the air, and just be a sub-forum within Other Roleplay.

[Lily]

Mature RPG? By any day you are planning to have it, Lily'll definitely sign up. x_x

I think this should count!: particulary experienced roleplayers. By all means, I cannot positively roleplay in the current one we have, as all RP posts are less than a paragraph with sometimes no proper grammar in which it's utterly impossible to read. I mean, I've been roleplaying for a year, and I just can't seem to RP along with people who lack descriptions and such. So what I mean to say is, people who actually KNOW what Mary Sues are, how to make a three paragraph plot, such and such.

You know those basic RPG rules...no god modding/powerplaying, spamming, cluttering up the threads with way too many OOCs and such. Well, I observed there were some who didn't know what those were. o.o;

Another thing, maturity shouldn't exactly *count*. For example, at the title of the RPG, it could read, "BlaBlaBla PG 13" So that would clarify that RPG is only for PG 13, unless there are small children who don't really care about it. Blood/Sex/Violence whose categories go in much deeper...then yes, that should be considered as a mature RPG, only if enough details would be added in the effort.

It depends on the type of roleplayer you are. I prefer serious RPing with intensive writing and such, perhaps more than two paragraphs at least, or you might me the sort of person who would love to go and for a post; provide a sentence with incorrect grammar and out of placement position. Also, the plot of the sign up. It majorly affects what sort of RPG you're dealing with from the beginning.

So I'm all up for this actually. ^_^; Perhaps, as LiquidThunder mentioned, a subforum would be nice.

[Neko-sama]

Not if that age on ur profile is wright little misses lily :P

[Merron]

...I'm new, of course, but I just wanted to say that when forum rules are compromised to allow so-called 'mature' content on the boards, websites can really go to hell. I've had to leave a few sites that were great initially, but turned very sour after a bunch of raunchy people joined (because of the increased likelihood of getting away with flaming and the "right" to post disturbing material on the boards).

It would be much better to have an off-site limited-access forum like the moderators have suggested. You know what people say: give them an inch, and they'll take a mile.

:psy copy:

[Neko-sama]

U May Even Find Kids Making More Than 1 account to pose as a older person to get into these things so theres no point of having one just hav it somewhere away from kids at these forums and only give the link to people who are old enough

[Claire]

All i say is keep sawah away from it! Who knows how she'll interpret 'mature rpg' XD j/k *huggles sawah*

[Lily]

Not if that age on ur profile is wright little misses lily :P

Dun count me by my age. Believe me, I've RPed in mature places before, nothing new. ;-;

*feels loved* <3<3<3 12 is just a number that's just there. XD

[~Ozy~]

if we keep our current system, but add a ratings system, there are the obvious problems of someone who can't handle or perhaps doesn't want to handle that kind of stuff, it makes it too easy to see. Furthermore, I can see far more problems with a flood of RP's that don't really differintiate themselves from others and are given a "R" rating just to have it. If a forum/subforum were to be created, we have a far more specific intrest group that would be more likely to utilize a mature RP the way it's meant to be. I personally oppose a simple rating system.

As for the degeneration of PC, that's the last thing I want. I want to keep a more communal spirit alive. I think this would actually help, people with a specific mindset could express it well and grow closer. Furthermore, Merron, I think there exists a fine line between mature stuff and degenerate stuff. The people who are the most intrestsed in this are the ones who could handle it and wouldn't go advertising their "H4\/\/7 s3x0rs rp6111" around the forums. They wouldn't even create it. I see very little potential for spillover into the rest of the community from this forum.

[PichuSecretBase]

Listen, Pokemon Community is dedicated to younger persons (10-14) so I don't think haveing all these "Mature" is right. I had the T-dome blocked from my site because I didn't like seeing sex topics. However still, if you *must* have cruel violent evil mean nasty unneded rpgs just do a rating system or goto a mass rpg place.

[Lily]

I was never with cruel/nasty RPGs. oO; Some people just can't roleplay with other people who use a single sentence for each post, whereas they may use two paragraphs at least. Violence...eh. I'm not up for that, I thought 'mature' RPGs were focused on your skills, nothing about the ratings...:/

[~Ozy~]

PSB-Who said it was all nasty, cruel, or violent? It's more for characters who might behave that way, or for exploring the darker side of the human persona. Furthermore, the system I favor is choice-based. You don't have to deal with it if you don't want to. In addition, a moderate fascination with darker things is in all actuality, psychologically healthy.

LP-What you speak of would be Advanced role-play. They do occasionally pop up here, but generally don't do so well. I however, like them, as do most of the people intrested in this I think.

[Lily]

Ah. Perhaps if mature RPG could merely indicate to...just a darker side of writing, not the extreme violence you are thinking of whereas I am sure many will oppose that. But I am all up for advanced (Thank you! I was looking for that word XD) RPG, maybe just a mixture since well, advanced RPG is kind of indicating to what Adamant has in mind.

[Kairi]

Hmm, well we seem kind of spilt, here. On the one hand we have a couple of concerns with people making R RPs for the heck of it, and then if we should allow them in our RP in the first place. The T-dome was supposed to be for discussions where you could veer off into that stuff, not necessarily an “R forum” @_@ As for those who do it just to do it, yeah most serious RP’ers would ignore it. We might get groups of people who would want to do it though pouring out low quality ones filled with that stuff. And that’d be hard for mods to crack down on without being accused of favoritism.

If I’m overlooking anything here though, let me know. I just think that what might happen is some…less intelligent people would walk into the topics and go “omg that is sick and wrong and etc”, that most of the board can’t quite handle it. And again, it’s really an issue of if we can allow it. Which is something I probably can not decide.

[~Ozy~]

Well, thanks for taking this into at least some consideration.

I have a coupe of quick solutions though:

On the flood of shoddy stuff: Perhaps in addition to a request, maybe a test of sorts to see if you're a good RPer. I've seen similar evaluations on other RP sites, although they're usually concerned with joining a clan. I think a similar idea could be applied to this, a quick little two-person RP that would cover the basics of what would be going in in this section. In my mind, it'd cover proper fighting role-play, description, ability to handle nasty, antisocial characters, and most importantly, CREATIVITY. Something of this sort would be head off most people who aren't serious about this. I'd more than willingly oversee it as well.

On the OMG s!ck @nd \/\/r0n6 bit-There will always be people like than, no matter what is done. The issue is if we can keep it to a reasonable minimum. Again, the test, acces to a blocked-except-by-request forum/subforum would head off the vast mojority of people who would say something like that.

Finally, on allowablilty-PC is growing up, we can't deny that. From my own perusal, it seems that a lot of our more loyal members are starting to get to the age where they become intrested in dark characters, the occult, death, vampires, all that jazz. Allowing them a place to get the feelings and ideas out might keep some of them here, instead of going to another, more adult and perhaps less accepting forum.

[Anna-chan]

And I miss this thread how??? *feels like a bad RP mod*

As it is late here I'm not going through all the posts. But Mature RPs sound like a fun idea.. I mean as long as it doesn't get out of hand o.o; Either a subforum, or the warning/raiting system should be used. But this is only going upon my opinion, in which I like this idea because I'm all for playing in a more serious/'mature' RP.

[Flygon trainer]

Indeed, I find that a lot of the people who RP with me arn't ready for my darker bloody side. the only people that can deal are the advanced RPers. but I've had to stop, thanks to mucho dissaproval form the people who arn't advanced in RPing. i admit I'm not the best, but I am respected, as is Adamant and Shiney.

[Neko-sama]

Dun count me by my age. Believe me, I've RPed in mature places before, nothing new. ;-;

*feels loved* <3<3<3 12 is just a number that's just there. XD

Lily u say this but thats wot people are trying to say they want something for the older ages so they can hav more realistic Rps

[Shiney]

Lily u say this but thats wot people are trying to say they want something for the older ages so they can hav more realistic Rps

Not older ages, for more mature people. The T-dome was originally then "teen" dome, until it was reasoned that teens were the most immature.

[Neko-sama]

hmm then why are people bringing up that this place is aimed at 10-14 we shouldnt have that kind of stuff but anyway im for the mature Rping like violence and If i stab u ya bleed u dont just go ouch lol but the X rated stuff just get rid of that idea alltogether lol


P.S Were Not All Immature! im not just short tempered lol :)

[Geometric-sama]

I wouldn't have a problem with mature RPs as long as they are clearly separate from "G/PG-rated" RPs, so that younger kids don't stumble in by mistake. I wouldn't mind playing in a darker RP, actually.... the books I read are like that anyway o_O

[Neko-sama]

Why not Just give up on the idea and tell em if they want a mature RP make forums themselves or just join a RP forum. (but not to advertise it here!)

[Shiney]

Why not Just give up on the idea and tell em if they want a mature RP make forums themselves or just join a RP forum. (but not to advertise it here!)

Because I don't think there is a role playing forum with a popular pokemon section that allows the darker stuff. I can't see a reason not to have it here, annd I think you've made your opinions known already. I'm not trying to be rude, but if you don't have anything to contribute to the debate, then don't.

[Fukachimotsu]

I'm all for it. Taking it up a notch wouldn't hurt, if it was in the T-Dome... Which reminds me... *bugs Steve to activate it for him* XD

[Pogiforce-14]

NO offense to Shiney, but a mature Rp forum would give people more room to do things that would would more than likely be inapropriate. WE shouldn't make a Mature Rp Forum just so we have teh excuse to do some dirtier things. THe Rps ahve gotten pretty dark and evil as it is, so the only way you can really make it any more mature is if it includes Sex, which I honestly think is going too far. Unless PC wants to encourage cyber sex by creating a mature Rp forum, then I suggest the idea be taken to a different Forum that dabbles in that sort of thing. That is just too inapropriate for a public forum. The T-Dome is pushing it as it is.

[~Ozy~]

Dark and evil they may be, Pogi, but as descriptive as I would like? No. I have to severly restrain Robbie and Miz'Inthil lest I take it to levels that some can't handle. To be honest, I'd like a place here to let them vent. On the sex issue, I've already given my feelings there, page 2. I don't think it would by any meaans encourage cyber sex. Sex would be involved, perhaps, but actual description of the act would not be involved in the least.

[Pogiforce-14]

Somehow I doubt that. :\ People here have no problems with the violence issue. In WWC, we've done some pretty violent things ourselves, and teh only reason why he haven't gotten too discriptive was because we didn't feel like it. The only encouragement I see coming from a mature Rp forum is sexual Material, which I disprove of. This is a forum based on a rated G video game and TV series. Granted teh whole forum isn't built that way, but none the less due to teh audience we get, we have to be conservative in our actions. It may not be what we want, but as the elder members we have resposibilities to keep an eye out for the younger member.

[Geometric-sama]

Fukachimotsu: any S-mod or higher can activate your T-Dome access...

[~Ozy~]

I know that, I checked in periodically on WWC. Bt ther is admittedly a stigma involved with getting too descriptive in certain violent acts. I found that out for myself in a rather negative way. There are a lot of good RPrs here and I don't like seeing their potential limited in such a severe way (at least as I see it).

On sexual stuff, I already adressed it, but I'll say it again: The people who are intrested in this would not go into description of sexual acts. We would, in all likelihood, involve it but there would by no means be hardcore descriptions of sexual acts. I can see problems if we implemented a simple raating system or an open-access forum, but I don't support either of those options.

Furthermore, as I said before, PC is growing up. Many of the RPrs are getting to the point where they wish to explore darker aspects of human nature. Giving them a place to do do may well keep them here. If a member didn't wish to have access, then so be it, it could be selective, as the T-Dome is. But as it is now, I wouldn't dare put up a few of my favorite RPs, just because of the darker, more sinister materials they involve.

[Geometric-sama]

Darker stories doesn't necessitate an "M" rating. As long as it doesn't fall into things like sex and gore (a lot of gore, anyway) I don't see why you can't put that into an RP forum - perhaps with a warning on it.

[~Ozy~]

Mainly because a couple of my faves DO involve a lot of gore, violence and, in particular, rather objectionable levels of occultism. Furthermore, I've found that some less mature people can't quite handle what I'm trying to do in these and thusly criticize it for challenging accepted notions of, per se, death.

[Shiney]

Exavtly, if we had a place where the superior RPers could role play without the semi-imposed limitations, not neccisarily by rules, but by other members disagreeing in the RP, then it would solve a lot of arguments, spammy RPGs, and I know of at least one friendship that's being strained because of this kind of thing.

[Geometric-sama]

I think we should trial a ratings system, where you put a rating on your own RP and warn the players not to go above that... it might work, it's worth a try at least.

[Shiney]

I have no idea if it will be succesful or not, but I supose we could try it, and if that still causes trouble, then possibly an addition to the T-dome.

[Geometric-sama]

Can we get an admin in here for approval then?

[Shiney]

I'll start nagging a few. XD

[Geometric-sama]

It's easiest if you can catch them on MSN or AIM I think, I'm at school so I can't. o_O

[Shiney]

Wait, I'll go PM one of them then.

[Arcanine]

Ok time for a reply (since I was asked to look over this).

I can see why all you want a mature RP forum but look at it this way.
I can't see it getting very big, most of the members that will see that Sub-Forum in the T-Dome will think "Oh that forum is just going to be about sex because most of the T-Dome is about sex and that kind of stuff". And it's true, the T-Dome was ment to be a forum for more mature members (as in starting every thread about some sexual topic) or Political threads. Now look what it has turned into.
Before the T-Dome was started the Community Founders (Kwesi and Steve) didn't want the T-Dome that much. When PC was started it was a place for people (more like kids from 10-14) to talk about Pokemon. Not about the stuff going on in the T-Dome.

You can see where I am going with this. I think the T-Dome RP would just end up like the T-Dome. Unless there was strict rules on what can't be done in the T-D RP forum.

But when I come back to it all I still just can't see this forum getting many threads.

It's my opinion that the roleplayers mature enough to really RP in there aren't the type to let the forum get to that level. I'm all in favor of a rating system, other than the fact that there's nothing stopping a nine-year-old from clicking on an R-rated RPG and reading about blood, gore, torture, ect.

Blood, gore, torture is not not something I am concerned about. You watch almost any movie now days and you will most likely see that (atleast any fighting movie).

Yeah, but most roleplays won't be containing explicit material if it's done by those who can RP well, at least not most of the time. So, the only reason not to have it in the T-dome would be the rare cance that it might degrade into explicitness, which I doubt, versus making a rating system, which doesn't stop anyone from reading the RPGs, even if they do contain some explicit material.

Make it a subsection of T-Dome.

There, I've said my peace XD

I agree. I'm not really into RP'ing, butI support it, since so many of you supported my T-Dome suggestion.

i don't RP,but i believe that there should be a forum/thread like this in T-Dome.if it is in T-dome then what is wrong with it?

[Geometric-sama]

lilpolowy, quit spamming. So, can we do something with a mature RP thing? Perhaps a subforum of RP would do it. o_O

[Shiney]

I'd like that, but it looks like we might be waiting for a while on a response.

There's a discussion going in mod lounge about this, ok?
