It looks to me as if this thread isn't an introduction, but instead an attempt at a replacement , acting as its own guide and inviting the same questions and support that my own guide does. Until Khaine's post, the reference to my thread at the very bottom didn't exist. I'm running out of characters, so I'm about to make a double-post.

But it's not, is it? It fulfils a complimentary role. Your first page goes straight into designing a character, something of which is not present here. It reiterates basic rules--things necessary for partaking in any public roleplay on the server. To suggest it's a replacement because he added a link to your thread the day he posted the full thing is a stretch. Quoting Lozz's text doesn't appear to show much, either--what else is he meant to say? 'I hope I've not introduced you'?

Similarly, suggesting the FMod's post has any particular weight when they've been summoned in regard to a complaint that appears to lack context--as well as suggest that this is supposed to be a forum RP sticky--is wrong. I'd recommend waiting on further judgement until using that as any kind of justification.

You seem very proud of your guide and keen to refer to it as an effective source, though it seems clear you feel this thread entreats upon that. The arrogance of trying to offer borders over is stunning. Your presence as a sticky owner of an arbitrary guide does not give you the right to demand of others, least of all to offer them a starting point to something you seem to think is going to exist.

Plucking a year old quote out isn't much of a justification, either. If he really wanted to create a single thread himself he would need more than a single page.

For now, I'd recommend waiting until more is heard from the moderators to continue making such claims. No doubt you wouldn't want such a series of posts clogging your effective, easy-to-read thread, so offer the same respect here. ...But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. This, I did.

I invite you to read over RolePlayer's old thread and see if this comes anywhere close to filling the same shoes as it, or if it seems to be squeezing in mine. The Sicarius |
They think they are "the many", and I "the few". They think this gives them the right to walk over me.

The thread that Connor once made that Faey mentioned before just looks more complete, compact and more inviting for people to browse. (Format troubles and being outdated aside) Sure it doesn't learn you 'the ropes' of RP but at least it explains a bit more about the server dynamic which I personally think matters a lot these days.(Faey already explained this well imo, so I'll just side with Faey's wall of text instead of writting up my own.)

what i gather from the edits u made to quoting Croconuts you blatantly admit to plagiarizing faeyrin's thread which is poor form in and of itself You Lose! You Get Nothing! Good Day Sir!

I took your invitation and did just that.

Lozz takes every aspect of Conor's thread, minus some posts dedicated to what effectively boils down to meaningless postulating--a lot of his posts contain fluff (paragraphs dedicated to 'getting involved is hard', etc.) that Lozz has distilled into singular posts instead.

Your threads both have a definition of roleplay--both of which are wildly different, since you seem to insinuate it as fanfiction whilst Lozz provides a more literal definition--and a list of symbols used in roleplay. Funnily enough, Conor also has a paragraph dedicated to a definition of roleplay, surprisingly similar to Lozz's. How odd!

Pretending that this thread comes close to stepping in your thread's shoes is factually incorrect, RiDaku, and for the most part is actually disparaging to the work present on your own thread which delves much, much further into intricacies not present--at all--here. ...But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Hello everyone

The green team has had an opportunity to discuss the situation since it appeared in Forum Help a few/couple of days ago.

While we were discussing, you all went ahead and started doing what we were going to suggest: it seems like there should be a community discussion about the two stickies, because they are community threads, even though over the years (approximately nine for me), it might have seemed from time to time that these were individuals' threads.

I was going to suggest that a thread be made to have such discussion; however, it's already going on here. If CrocoNuts is okay with it continuing here, let's keep it here.

Here are some of our green team thoughts (and they are just thoughts to jumpstart/guide a constructive discussion of the situation):


Purposes of the two stickies (from years ago)

1. One was a 'welcome' & guide to how to use the forum to set up or join in an in-game RP.
The 'welcome' had a chat lounge vibe, but, in all of the reincarnations of the thread, there really wasn't ever an active chat lounge aspect happening.

2. The other was more a guide for what actually happens in-game.

It seems that currently there is a bit more overlap in the approach of the two threads. We see some content that is similar, but also content that is different. There should not be two stickies that cover the same ground.

So, two initial guiding questions that would facilitate how to move forward:


[I've run out of room for them, so I'm putting them in the next post.

Edit: grammar!

1. Explicitly and concisely, what do you, the community, see as the purposes for each of the threads? Do these purposes distinguish the two threads or does it merge them?

2. Could you please analyze the content that is currently in the two threads (some of this has already been done, I see)? What is different? What is similar? What is unnecessary? What is missing?

Please try to avoid focusing on the people involved; instead, please put yourself in the role of community member and post about the content/topics regarding how they can impact the community.

Thanks!
