Roleplay Kingdoms

Let me get straight to the point. You see on the Forums how Mount Coronet, Terel'Lien(?), ect have their own seperate Forums? How do we get Forums like that for our own Kingdoms/Factions? Or is this a stupid question which has been obvious the entire time?

I would like to know as well. I've sort of stopped looking at this group because my city is basically dead from nobody coming to explore the ruins. And I guess you could also say it's dead in a literal sense, but whatever. I'm not the kind of guy to go and meet people. People just happen to stumble across me. So me going to the kingdoms to interact with people is kind of uncomfortable for me. I wouldn't know how to jump in and interact with them. I could just lurk in the shadows and spy on people, but I figured nobody would like that so I dont.

Most likely someone with the right authority to create the forum does so. However, I believe Rynh may have stated a limit on the amount of forums a single group can host, but I am uncertain of this fact.

Archer; yes, your city is very dead in the literal sense. But to guard it against no one is a very amusing occupation. However! Since you are a sole-heir-kingdom, it falls upon your shoulders to represent your kingdom. To connect with other kingdoms is an absolute must, if good relations are needed. Archer would not wish for his people to be...endangered, or stolen away, or passed through without saying excuse me and your crumbled city ruins should be...intact and free of being diminished into smaller pieces. Jokes aside, every character has a need, a goal that they need to fulfill, in -every- scene. If Archer wants to interact with other people other than his very non-conversational shades, he will have to travel outside his lands. I am not certain as to why you would -not- spy on people! Creating conflict within scenes is natural. Writing to not offend anyone is unnatural, as a character may find your character's life offensive to them. Does that mean that your character should fall upon their blade?

Now that I have strayed off topic, I will attempt to create the needed forum boards.

You will most likely have to message Rynh or Terel. This feature of moderation is not one that I possess.

Lemme try to answer this to the best of my knowledge. A group can only make a certain amount of "main forums", IC or OOC. This said it was first come first serve. True a lot of them are pretty dormant and most of them belong to Mods or Admins who seldom interact with this group for their own reasons (work, school, family, life in general, etc.), but here's the kicker... The group was started by them and is still run by them, they should get and retain a spot because of the hierarchy of ownership and leadership. Think of that what you will, those are your opinions and you are entitled to them, but that will more than likely not change the facts.

ADHD version: Tough luck kid. It's pretty obvious why.

First off, that is a lame excuse not to RP with anyone - I don't care who you are that is laziness both in-character and out of character. That is no way to go through with interaction with people, fictitious or real. You cannot expect anyone to cater to your whims, if you want something do it yourself and/or don't complain about it. Second off, I realize that this is the way you see your nation functioning but in reality (metaphorically speaking) no country or explorer will come across them through happenstance if they just sit there. You as the owner have to be more proactive in drawing people in or reaching out to them. Again, this is boiling down to laziness.

Also spying can be a good way to start an RP, but start off by talking to the Player beforehand to discuss what is acceptable and what is not and if they have any rules that you would need to follow for everyone to have a good time.

ADHD version: Stop being lazy and do something productive with your RPs.

This has been a PSA brought to you by Virus.
-"Keeping it real in RPs!"

It is true. There is a limit on how many threads you can create. It's an inherent problem no one really thought of when we first started the group. Now I've been trying to overcome this by deleting threads from kingdoms of which the people haven't been active in for a very long time. But even then, some of these threads have multiple RPs going on. I don't want people's hard work to be deleted because of temporary inactivity. So what other options do I have?

I could possibly buy more slots, of course. But I currently don't have the budget for that. I'm focussing on graduating this year, so I've no disposable income I can miss. You should consider this group to be rather experimental at the time being. It's the first time I've ever managed a group that has this many people in it, and as much as I would like to, I just can't please everyone. The amount of times I couldn't create a thread for someone's kingdom or had to tell people their concepts need to be toned down is too many to count. And then there's of course RPs I keep forgetting about because of the busy work. So there's a lot of things I'm doing wrong, such as keeping up with the amount of kingdoms being created these last few months.

I know I can't give much of a satisfactory answer right now, but all I can say is that I'll try and make room for your kingdom as soon as possible, as soon as I'm sure there's threads out there that won't get used again.

Hmm, it is a problem. I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to give each kingdom it's own forum, as Rynh said we'd have to get more slots and there's not money for that now. I'm still looking for a job so I don't really have much income to spend on something like that. I guess we'll just have to put up with it for now until a solution can be found alter.

Speaking of inactivity, that's over for me now. I've got more free time on my hands these days now university is over and all I'm really doing is some volunteering and jobhunting. I've been having a few ideas on new RP for my kingdom. Perhaps a Royal Wedding...

Oh, Terel, by the way, you kind of never replied to the RP we were gonna do on your Kingdom forum.


*ahem* Well, me and my brother are setting up a modded MC server soon, so hopefully I can help you guys out a little err something. Meh.

I... didn't? Did you psot something on the forum? I just remember you asking for the trade RP, me saying yes and then not hearing anything back from you. I thought you'd tell me if you posted on the forum to start the RP.

...? I thought you would see it.

Well I felt I would put a little reminder up, for anyone who wants the power of the Legion at their nations command just enter the temple, it is sending out huge shockwaves through the ground at sporadic intervals. So it shouldn't be hard to find, though by the time the shockwave gets to any nation it will be too light to damage anything. However up close you will feel the full impact of it, so you have to enter the temple quickly.

Well apparently I missed it, I'll go looing for the RPs mentioned and get to replying once I figure out what to say.

EDIT: Similarly, there a RP you posted to me last August that I haven't seen until now. If people are going to send RPs at me I'd appreciate if they tell me when topics are up in PMs since I don't always catch alerts telling em about RP posts in forums, likewise if I'm late responding to RPs, hit me up in PM to make sure I've not missed it or gotten distracted whilst writing a post and forgotten about it, thinking I've posted when I haven't

Rynh you can pull the Osia section down. The rebuild for them has taken too long. I may eventually reintroduce just a character though.
