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
 
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.
 
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.
 
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...:/
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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 :)
 
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
 
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.
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
