Actually, we hate sandbox RPs with a flaming passion. Notable RPs that are hated (and thus, have the fewest RPers joined in them out of all the accepted IC Roleplays) are Pokemon Trainer Academy and Pokemon Fallout. We don't like these because we don't like freedom and well-constructed plots with lots of interesting characters. As such, PTA only has about...maybe 315 pages of OOC discussion. Disgusting.Okay, so the few-words personality thing just MIGHT work...
How do we feel about sandbox rp's on this forum? Are they a no-no? What if I gave an interesting setup and then let them go from there in any direction? >_>
Go for it, but just know that Sandbox RPs require a lot of moderation and a lot of dedication due to their broadness, freedom, and length. As such, you should probably study others such as the ones listed above, Hyrule, Sword Art Online, and the like before taking on such an endeavor.>____> I may have to attempt my plan then <_____<
I've done it on another roleplay forum, so I've had it all ready for a while. I just didn't know whether or not it would be accepted on this forum. It's an original sandbox RP where you choose characters from a large family. >_>
hey guys what would you think about a pokemon zombie rp? Where like a virus from the moon or something infected alot of people except the rpers and they have to use thier pokemon to kill all the zombies and overall survive?
Do they really require more moderation than other RPs? O.o How come? I'd say Monster Art Online is pretty sandboxy. Even though there is a direction to move in, anyone can do what they like to do while playing as a pokémon trainer.Go for it, but just know that Sandbox RPs require a lot of moderation and a lot of dedication due to their broadness, freedom, and length.

I guess it could be interesting but we've seen plot discussion threads and such before and they didn't really get attention. This thread covers too much ( =it all). But I guess if you really defined what that thread would be used for as opposed to this one, it might be a cool thing.With the new RP Library up and kicking, I had a new idea about another stickied thread that may be of some use to other members!
Something I thought of called the Vault, which members could post floating roleplay ideas which they thought maybe were good ideas but maybe couldn't solidify a plot and think recycling them to another user might be of better use to it. Members could also post (as some like to keep their RPs/characters pretty) images they find which could be useful to other members, like sceneries or maybe RP characters. It could be a thread where if a member is losing inspiration, could access it to find new material to use to help give themselves a kick start!
other stuff that could be posted might be CSS layouts for SUs or OPs but that might be pushing it.
I only just thought of this because i was browsing tumblr and found some very, very awesome pictures which one could use (click for said pictures) in a journey roleplay or any kind of roleplay that has a post which has a post to set the setting before letting members rush off into it.
so, do you think it would be of any use to you personally or perhaps a waste of a thread?

Well, if it gets enough attention, you are welcome to take the responsibility of organising it, though I had no real plans of doing that. If one fills out a small template when posting content, it would be easy enough to browse through it all without it getting too cluttered. A first post with a link to every single post would be VERY cluttered. I'd personally actually prefer a clutter in the thread itself. It's like a table at a clothes shop where they shove all the stuff on sale on it and you have to pick through it all to find the good stuff. Or a thread you browse through on a rainy day when you feel a little writer's blocked.BUT I would really like a place to dump my hundreds of RP ideas that I never get to where they can still be accessed by anyone. It would be nice.
I'd be willing to take care of it if we get into such levels of organization! I think I could handle it. I'm only limited in access on the weekends, and it shouldn't take too long to review those posts after the weekend.

Though, if you want to keep it as a place where you take and give, you could try a 'leave a penny, take a penny' approach, where you can only take ideas and claim if you contribute to the thread, though there is no real way of keeping track of that legitimately.
So, I kinda support a 'fill a small template when posting and thats really it' way. It's very easily manageable.
