Roleplay Olympics Suggestion Box

Suggestion Box

PokeCommunity's annual Get Together is right around the corner, and this year it is bringing with it the return of the renowned Roleplay Olympics. For those of you who do not know, the Roleplay Olympics - usually shortened to RPOs - is an event in which several roleplay-based competitions (similar to the RPTournament in some instances) are simultaneously held for your enjoyment with the victors of events often winning prizes.

This year we want to make the RPOs better than ever, and as the goal of the event is for all of you to have as much fun as possible, the event's committee has decided the best way to do that is ask what you'd like to see during the Olympics.

In this thread please share with us any ideas you have for events you would like to participate in during the RPO's and comment sharing support for other ideas you like so we can get a good idea of the popularity of peoples' suggestions.

If for any reason you do not feel comfortable sharing your suggestions publicly, you are also welcome to private message SV, The Last Sentinel, Retro Bug, myself or one of the moderators of the RPT and we will gladly post it anonymously for you in this thread.

So you can get an idea of how the RPOs work, here are some useful links to previous RPO threads.

Special rpo dreamland scenario.

The battle thing looked nice. Maybe have people sign up and then break it up into even groups. Have them collaboratively brainstorm up a bbeg to fight and then reward the teams based on creativity and how interesting the battle is.

Some kind of JP challenge with a romantic theme - rated K+! Meaning challengers can't rely on secksy tiems to score, they need to make us understand the feels through elegant writing <3

Playing one another sounds like fun but I'd be worried about insults and digs being mad ;-;.

Maybe there can be a gimmefox fanfic event though. Totally backing that. :P

How about it actually being roleplay instead of obvious fanfiction writing?

Just a thought.

Idk if we're meant to be offended by this or... ;-;

We aren't RPing here? Is this actually the colkaberative fan-fiction section?

Anyway, I don't how accesible it would be, and there are some obvious managment problems, but I think it would be a lot of fun to re-imagine the existing RPs, and mainly the characters. I'm imagining something like an 'elseworld' story, where you adapt characters to a new setting. How would your character work if Venice was a Sci-Fi RP, what would Titans be like if the characters were in the British colonization of the US, how would your Camelot character look if it was a racecar RP?

I'm only speaking from the experience I had with the last one.

What makes something roleplaying related and not just fanfiction? Is there a need for character interaction and JPs? Just wondering

Personally I think interaction is necessary. But I know others disagree. In any case, we're making this open to others on PC too as mentioned before, so it's writey too.

I have no idea what "JPs" means.

It needs to be with others. You know, like what a roleplay actually is?

From what I saw, everything with the last one was basically fanfiction writing where you did it on your own with no participation from other members.

JP is the abbreviated terms for "Joint Post". Basically a single post with two or more contributors.

From what I understand the lack of interactivity was a common complaint, so we'll be doing a lot more interactive stuff. That isn't to say all events will be like this though since the RPOs are being held alongside the Get Together this year and we want them to be just as accessible.
