The ARPG

[Shuckle]

Judging me because of my actions here should not be under consideration. Judging me on my actions everywhere should. Anyone should know that. We came here with our business. That is why I came here. Not to chum up with you people.

I deleted my post because, I felt it was rash so i took it back. ;D

'OMG YOU JUST JOINED YOU MUST BE STUPID'

That should not be the attitude of anyone. That is pretty much like saying 'you suck because you have a small post count' =/

And on the mod issue, fine, dont go through with that. But me and mana would like to choose the mods that do our official stuff that we'd do anyway. =/

 

[parallelzero]

Well excuse us...
Being chummy (friendly) with us is kinda part of the job as mod. >.<
And you wanted to be one?

 

[Shuckle]

I didnt exactly mean for it to come out that way. You people are entirely judging us on the time spent here. When our actions as a whole should be judged imho. =/

 

[Arcanine]

Like I said before you might not know how PC works. New members most likely don't know how PC works.
And I don't feel right having a 2 day old member become a Mod (it has happened twice on PC, and it won't happen again if I have anything to do with it). And I don't like Modding some one just because they had an idea for an RP on PC. It don't work that way, Mods around here had to work for what they did. Work for where they got to, they had to work to get Modded. This isn't because your actions should be judged. That comes later on. But having some one not work for their spot most likely might turn out not to be a good Mod.

As mod of other Rps, I will say this:

NOBODY touches the RP forums. they are fine as they are right now. we just need more RPers.

 

[parallelzero]

Deep breaths FT, in, then out, XD
I like the RP system we have alreadys.. it isnt complicated! XD

But me and mana would like to choose the mods that do our official stuff that we'd do anyway. =/

Shuckle..PC isnt YOUR forum, so you cant just dictate how things will work :\
Having that kind of rpg is an option ppl are considering, but theres no need to dictate who mods it

 

[Mana Lugia]

It would be helpful, however, to have mods who can obviously understand the complexity of the RP and not just treat it as a normal RP.

 

[~Ozy~]

NOBODY touches the RP forums. they are fine as they are right now. we just need more RPers.

Agreed. I've seen thing like that and overall, they go downhill. I like our current RP system just fine, it needs neither updating, new sections, nor hacks in whatever form they come. If you want to start a role-play that specific, then do so. Don't expect that a lot of our current RPrs to like it though (from what I've seen). and don't demand sub-forums or specific forums for it. If you start it in Pokemon role-play and it gains enough popularity there, then your idea will be re-evaluated I suppose. Otherwise, touch PC's RP system and I (along with FT) will rip you into rasin-sized chunks via meat grinder. Well, not that severe, but I'm sure you get the picture.

*clap clap* i love ripping people to raisin sized bits XD the point is, it's a bad idea, the RP forum is fine the way it is, and arguing with Arcy is just gonna make you have worse rep, and less of a chance at this "ARPG" also, you shouldn't demand things like a whole forum and sub forums for it, and you shouldn't be able to choose the mods. you've got 51 posts and have bad rep. obviously, you're not the choice for someone to pick any kind of mods. 'nuff said, and i hope no one gives me bad rep for stating a point.

 

[Kholdstaire]

The point of this post wasn't just to ask the mods and admins for their approval, but also to see how much interest there would be on an established forum such as this. And really, you seem to be a little closed minded about this ._.

Dude, stfu. Please. He's not demanding. He's requesting, if you could friggin read. He's giving out his idea.

Its like inventing something new, and handing it to a group of idiots who have no idea what its use is. Would you REALLY leave the idiots in charge of the new invention? No. I'm not calling the mods idiots, but they don't know specifially how this RPG works. Now, if you want to continue trying to be "cool" and "rip people to raisins" talk to me on AOL, and I'll see how you shred me up.

Shuckle..PC isnt YOUR forum, so you cant just dictate how things will work :\

Again, read the above statement about the invention.

You can't control something you have no comprehension of.

We are asking if we can have the SUPPORT of the PC forum. We are REQUESTING. We never said we wanted to come in and comepletely change everything. This is just a new RP. Its like going to the store, and buying chocolate. There isn't just one brand. We're adding a new "brand" of RP, and the only way it will work is if we DO get space to make sure it works.

 

[Mana Lugia]

I think you guys are all taking this the wrong way.

Whoever said we were changing the way you RP? I didn't say it, Alex didn't say it, and I sure hope none of you PC users said anything about that. This isn't a replacement for your RP. In fact, the ARPG doesn't even RP the same way you do RPs. It's not 100% text and story based at all. Sure, you can write stories for the ARPG, but...

Now, in terms of actually gaining popularity. The URPG on PE2K has been on the boards longer than I have. From since I joined PE2K, that's like 2 years. Add on a few more, since they started in 1998. Now, any RPG lasting 6 whole years definately can't be something trashy, can it? What we're doing is trying to bring new life into an RPG that we played and loved. PE2K's forum got quite the boost from it, with almost every active member having played the URPG in some form some time.

Now, to whoever suggested making the thread in the existing forum. I have but one thing to say: Please read the first post, because you quite possibly haven't. It's impossible to have a project of this magnitude contained in a single thread. It's utterly ridiculous. If we could, why would we be asking for a seperate forum to try this out? It's like putting every single strategy forum post into one forum. I mean, it's possible, definately, but would it work out? I doubt it would.

Finally, there's something wrong here. Well aware that you have nothing to judge Alex on, but how can you honestly say you're judging someone fairly by their reputation? I mean, I post at the Strats forum, and if I subtracted reputation for this one dude every time I see him sprout bull out of his mouth, he'd be in the negative 2000's. But I haven't done that, why? Because it's not worth it. The Rep system isn't worth a penny, since half the forum aren't probably mature enough to realize it shouldn't be used unless it really needs to be. Yes, the 51 posts is not much, but so what? If we have a 9999 post user post in here and say "I SUPPORT THIS IDEA", would you guys change your minds? Of course not, it's still not your style of RPGing. Don't judge someone if you don't know them at all, but rather judge the substance that they are providing. That's a key idea that will help you through life.

 

[Flygon trainer]

If you have not observed yet, no sencible RPer has approved the idea. And NO RPER that is loyal to PC's RP forums would even look at such a program. We're looking at a flood of newbs and tons of spam.

 

[Psychotic_Demon]

er... i didnt even bother reading the whole thing, but what i say is.... HECK NO!

the forums are fine as they are! i should know, i go there basicaly everyday!

 

[Cool Cr@cker]

Well Why cant the RP mods mod this too..This can be a sub-forum..Surely it wont take light years for them to understand this system!

Like she said, I havent seen one RPer post that this is a good idea (well, maybe I missed a couple), and the people who RP more then likely know best. And I dont know how you got rep involved in this, rep has nothing to do with it.

 

[Shuckle]

This_isnt_changing_RPs

;D

It is simply a RPG. Nothing more than an addition, not taking away or chaning ANYTHING WHATSOEVER. You people are talking like we said we'd be tearing down your beloved (which I understand your protection of) RPs, this is an RPG, not an RP.

And thank you, one person that truly understands us, no it wouldnt take the mods lightyears to understand the system, I'd say only a week and a half or so to really get into the rythm if they are active.

 

[Mana Lugia]

As a matter of fact, I quite agree with this idea. We never said anything about "OMFG IF WE COME IN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RP THE OLD WAY HAH AHAHAHAHAHA"

Now, if someone can please quote us saying that, then maybe your points would be more valid. Since we didn't, all your posts about the forum being fine isn't really a valid point, because we're not even trying to change anything around the forum, rather than just adding another RPG into this.

And in regard to a ton of n00bs and spam:
I have no respect for someone who do not understand the difference between a newbie and a n00b. Are you saying that by opening this RPG, we're expecting to have a lot of people who know better trash this place and proceed to spam it up? I certainly don't. As a matter of fact, the 6 year old URPG that currently exist is quite spamless, which coincidentally conforms to PC's rules. And as normal members, you should be quite content keeping yourself from making spam instead of governing others not to do so. Of course, disencouragement of others from spam is a good idea, but on what grounds do you say that this RPG will do nothing but generate spam? And on what basis can I not argue that all RPs do nothing but generate spam for this forum, yours included?

Edit: The rep system can into question when "certain" members decided to be unsupportive of this idea because Shuckle has a negative Reputation from being adamant about his beliefs. Now, had I used my account with a certain amount of Rep and post counts, and Shuckle/Khold never been in play, would you guys still have been against it?

Stop judging a proposal on the person who proposes it, but rather on the merit of the actual proposal.

 

[Arcanine]

In fact, the ARPG doesn't even RP the same way you do RPs. It's not 100% text and story based at all. Sure, you can write stories for the ARPG, but...

Think of it this way. PC has a large main RP. Now most of the members that RP now most likely will go for that RP and not care about the smaller ones. So in a way you are changing the way members RP.

But like I said, I do like this idea of a PC RP. But I fear that it is going to kill all the other RPs (more so with the Pokemon ones).

Now, in terms of actually gaining popularity. The URPG on PE2K has been on the boards longer than I have. From since I joined PE2K, that's like 2 years. Add on a few more, since they started in 1998. Now, any RPG lasting 6 whole years definately can't be something trashy, can it? What we're doing is trying to bring new life into an RPG that we played and loved. PE2K's forum got quite the boost from it, with almost every active member having played the URPG in some form some time.

I would like to leave a note about PE2K Forums. More or less it hasn't been around for 6 years. They might have had a forum when they started but one forum hasn't been running for 6 years in a row. Because November of 2002 they closed down their forum and because a PC Community site. And then in February of 2003 they broke off and started their own forum. Now this year ProBoards closed down the forums. So they went to vB and that is where they are today. So that RP hasn't been running for 6 years in a row.

Finally, there's something wrong here. Well aware that you have nothing to judge Alex on, but how can you honestly say you're judging someone fairly by their reputation? I mean, I post at the Strats forum, and if I subtracted reputation for this one dude every time I see him sprout bull out of his mouth, he'd be in the negative 2000's. But I haven't done that, why?

That's a key idea that will help you through life.

You told people to read the first post. So I tell you to read my posts. I didn't say a thing about reputation or post count in any of my posts in this thread. You should be reading my posts if it's about new Mods for PC. Because I pick the Mods on PC. The Senior Staff picks the Mods for PC not the members or the Mods.

It is simply a RPG. Nothing more than an addition, not taking away or chaning ANYTHING WHATSOEVER. You people are talking like we said we'd be tearing down your beloved (which I understand your protection of) RPs, this is an RPG, not an RP.

And thank you, one person that truly understands us, no it wouldnt take the mods lightyears to understand the system, I'd say only a week and a half or so to really get into the rythm if they are active.

I have a good idea of what you are doing. Because I was a member of a forum and they had an RPG with Pokemon and you could battle buy stuff and things you are talking about.
And I like the idea, I do wish PC would get some type of RPG but like I said before it might kill the other RPs.

Wow. You're really going to gain support by insulting us. Great tactic there.

Now, to whoever suggested making the thread in the existing forum. I have but one thing to say: Please read the first post, because you quite possibly haven't. It's impossible to have a project of this magnitude contained in a single thread. It's utterly ridiculous. If we could, why would we be asking for a seperate forum to try this out? It's like putting every single strategy forum post into one forum. I mean, it's possible, definately, but would it work out? I doubt it would.

Then talk to the mods about stickying multiple threads. I'd like to see proof of this in action without ruining what remains of the PC I fell in love with. If you can get it going on a forum you create yourself, then I'd take another look.

It is simply a RPG. Nothing more than an addition, not taking away or chaning ANYTHING WHATSOEVER. You people are talking like we said we'd be tearing down your beloved (which I understand your protection of) RPs, this is an RPG, not an RP.

But I ask you who would have an interest in this system. PC's current RPrs, that's who. Do they seem interested? No.

Finally, I'd have severe doubts about modding any of you, not because of your newness or rep (although some of that must be taken into consideration), but because you've insulted some of PC's established and respected members. That's not conducive to being put into consideration for modship.
