For the topic I honestly have no real preference for region. They all have pros and cons and although I cant say I have roleplayed in anywhere near all of them yet (being relatively knew to the board still).

On a side note...Out of interest is anyone aware of there ever being a Game of Thrones based RP on this board? I would think it strange for there not to have been with the recent popularity of the HBO series and long standing cult following of the books. Seems to me that G.R.R Martin's Westeros lends itself pretty naturally to roleplay. I may be wrong (being new to RP and probably quite ignorant) but I would be interested in working on it with someone or joining it if someone decides they could do a better job than this lowly newb.

Which region do you like to be in the most for roleplays?
Either Johto or Unova are two of the regions I like to be in. For cities I like both Azalea Town and Iccirus City. I know both regions very well and both have some of the most amazing cities ever. <3

-pops in-

I have not been on here in ages! I feel like I have missed a big chunk of my pokecommunity life. I'm gonna need... For someone, anyone to fill me in on any of the good stuff my broken computer made me miss!

I remember you, yes! Welcome back! There's some RPs with spots open, and some that you may have left. Glad your computer is fixed. :3

It is funny isnt it :P Not contradictory at all, not at all! Well there is a couple pretty cool ones, though two of them are basically in limbo while Para is gone :'(
FIST BUMP! AUSTRALIA FOR THE WIN! YEAH-A

I also agree you have to be positive about the RPO! Personally I believe Im going to win the category I'm in and show Curious. that I am the winner!

YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO LOSE if you keep up with dat rivalry attitude.
lol j/k go cwp you can do ittttt <333

Don't really care about who wins in these events. The most important thing is that we all should have some roleplaying spirit and we treat these RPOs like the actual olympics...they aren't an "everyday" event!

Hyrus is similar, but they don't have any spots open at the moment. I think. Ask Supervegeta or Raikiri. d:

Ah, I will have a look. I asked out of curiosity more than anything else. Most large/popular IPs seem to have been RPed here at one point or another yet could not see anything related to A Song of Ice and Fire.

I'm a zelda fan but unfortunately I know nothing about Fire Emblem. :( So I can't say that I would be interested in that RP, even though the crossover does sound fun.

Anyways this is late but good luck to all the participants of the RPO!! Have fun and make sure you tear each other to shreds trying to get those emblems

Oh and-

Besides, it's a Pokemon forum, not exactly full of douche bags xD

Yes! Go join Pandora. It's cool. :3c

Also color me interested in this Zelda/FE crossover RP. Big fan of the FE games. I played all GBA titles (that's 6, 7 & 8), as well as the FE1 remake for the DS. Gorgeous series is gorgeous, if I'm not too occupied at the time the RP comes out I'll join it in a heartbeat. <3 I'm the opposite of DI though, I've never played any Zelda titles...please oh please don't kill me. D:

But seriously, if you're interested in the RP and haven't played any of the games, I'd suggest playing at least one with a narrative (Zekda 1 and 2 are fun, but three (A Link to the Past) and above are good places to get a good understanding of the universe and the characters). Really, any of them are good to start with since the order of release isn't constant with the order of the games (in most cases), and you won't be lost if you haven't played the previous games (even in the case of the direct sequels, though with Majora's Mask it's better that you've played Ocarina of Time, first)

Sticking to the current topic, I'd have to say Sinnoh. While my roleplaying experience in the region is limited, it happens to be my favourite of the main five, so I'd imagine enjoying the experience there just a little bit more than the others.

Anyway, considering this is part of my three-point plan to get back onto Pokecommunity, I've concocted a roleplay idea which might be worth posting here, if only to work out some of the kinks in what I've got so far. Here's a brief description of the roleplay idea, I suppose...;

The roleplay takes place upon a series of islands south east of Hoenn's mainland. These islands have yet to be fully explored, having only been discovered by a ship which hit rocks and drifted off towards them. Many are surprised to find that they even exist, as there is no record of them ever having existed beforehand. Some believe that they are similar to the Mirage Islands, and some argue that it was hidden behind fog created by Rayquaza himself. There is no evidence to support either claim however, and it is likely that they were never found before because there is almost nothing on interest in the immediate area.

What was more intruiging was that the islands are clearly inhabited... or at least, were inhabited. Great towers of stone tear from the surface and miles of catacombs run beneath the ground, linking many of the islands together in a maze of stone. It quickly drew the attention of treasure hunters and adventurers as one might expect, seeking whatever wealth the islands might bring.

However, money was not the only kind of wealth thought to be found within the halls and forests of these lands. Various scientific and historical communities (specifically those focusing on the research of ancient cultures) took note of this amazing discovery, and within a fortnight the area had been designated an area of special interest. Private property. Few were allowed to even step on the island itself, let alone explore the ruins that lay across it. For the next few months, the island was not touched again.

People had been recruited, however. Archeologists, historians specialising in ancient cultures, various types of scientist and of course, Pokemon trainers should a little brute force be required. They were given but one goal. Search the islands from top to bottom and leave no stone unturned. Discover what secrets lie in wait within the constructs of stone and metal. The roleplayer will play one of these people, chosen to help with the expedition in any way they can, and will soon be off on their way to exploring these grand ruins.

But something about these ruins brood the idea of danger. A soft nagging at the back of your mind. It's likely just the wind biting against your skin or the clouds gathering the the north, or just your imagination getting the better of you. It'll make for an interesting story no matter what happens...
I suppose brief is a subjective term. It gets across the necessary information I suppose. :3 Let me know what ye' think.

@Grif of Hearts: Now in my opinion and from the brief description given the RP sounds very interesting however it also sounds very similar to Pandora. This may not be the case (as you said the description you gave was rather brief and vague) but that is my impression. I'm sure if more information was provided then it would not sound as similar and I look forward to reading more about it!

I'll be honest, I've yet to look through the Pandora roleplay, but if you say that the ideas are similar then I shall look through it and see what I can do to change that.

Now that you mention it, reading through the other roleplays might have been a good idea. Not for gathering ideas or looking for inspiration, but for making sure that none of my ideas tread on the toes of other roleplays. For all I know there's one already out there that's exactly like mine. :L I shall do that now! Thanks for the heads up.

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

EDIT: Yeah, I can see what you mean, Arctos. Particularly similar starting point, I think. Pandora and the yet-to-be-named islands share several similarities. A region once inhabited by an ancient people, only for it to collapse and leave ruins in its wake. And then in both ideas the characters are setting out to uncover something in the ruins of the old civilisation.

Luckily I'm only in the early stages. I think it's unlikely that both ideas'd trail off along the same lines. I can't find anything hinting towards a similar story, just a similar starting point... I'll try and spice it up a little bit. Chop and change, mix and match, etcetera, etcetera. ^^

@Grif of Hearts: Sounds good. It wasnt a criticism just a heads up! Even if the starting points were completely identical no two RPs end up the same. I look forward to reading more about it once you've finalised everything.

I know it wasn't, but I'm glad that you pointed it out for me. :3

As I said, I'm still going to work through the general starting point and spice it up. Thank you for the assistance, Arctos. *tips hat*

So people, I've been thinking about creating a wiki specifically for the RP Corner. I suggested this to Skymin earlier, now I want to know anybody actually thinks this is a good idea. Here's a little rough idea of it which I sent to Skymin-

why not create a wiki for the RP corner as a replacement to the Library? It's probably not going to get a lot of traffic but hell, it's worth a shot. I mean, it could as a good place to idk, advertise your RP? Or create summaries for curious people? Keep people updated on new things in the RP Corner? "Mad Maddy ramblings" spot on the front page?!

So what do you guys think?

Mad Maddy Mamblings sorry I mean Ramblings is what the Announcements here are already :D or her every post in this thread.
<3

You mean, like a huge archive where we can search for a specific RP title or character and get to read about them (like their sign ups can be the base for their page) and what they have done so far? And maybe we could read about old RPs too. And genres. Like, having a list of journey RPs, and a list of completed RPs and, and...

It does actually sound fun :3 don't know how often I'd be there, though. And if I'd bother contributing much xD

We have one for Atlantis Arising that we have been planning for a couple of months now. Shameless link here. It would require a lot of effort on the RPers part, but a wiki of Present, Future and hopefully Past RPs would be an interesting idea. Like Red, I wouldn't know how often I would visit it or help maintain.

The Mad Maddy Ramblings was a joke xD Anyways, a huge archive is exactly what I meant. People post their RPs, and they eventually get forgotten, this would help people see what kind of RPs were made or hep them remake certain RPs if they want (not saying that this should encourage people to steal though lol)

ngl I actually picked it up from that. I got the idea of a RP Corner Wiki last year but didn't think it would work. Seeing the Atlantis Arising wiki though made me think that it could actually work. Again the main problem that I feel is that people will actually not bother to look at it. It could either be that or it would help people really advertise their RPs haha.
