A Few Roleplaying threads, Maybe? (repost from Off Topic)

[achartran 465]

I started a thread in off topic earlier today, but as it is technically a suggestion I'm going to post it here as well. It also applies to many of the vets who enjoy derailing threads here in suggestions, but don't often look in the Off Topic section.

Hey guys, this is, believe it or not, the first thread I have ever started on these forums. I know, crazy, right?

Anyways, if there is significant interest I think we should start some dedicated RP (role play) threads with various themes. Now, knowing this forum, they shouldn't be held to strict RP and if they devolve a little bit that shouldn't be an issue and people can bring it back "on topic" if they want to. These could possibly be stickied/pinned here in the Off Topic section if the staff is willing, so that they do not die off as quickly and could become the "official" RP threads. Here are just a few ideas for threads I've had...

- Fantasy (like... LoTR, Game of Thrones, etc.)

- Sci-Fi (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.)

- Historical Eras (Colonial, Victorian, Age of Exploration, etc.)

- Fictional Characters and Universes (Sherlock Holmes, etc.)

- Minecraft Adventures (maybe a few of these, they can go in so many directions. Also since this is the TFC forums, a few TFC ones as well.)

- D&D (for those who play, I don't personally, but I know some people here do. This could also include other similar games if people want, I guess.)

- TFC Forums Originals (Sherlock Holmes, stabbing people with spoons, etc. (anything that we often talk about here and use in our derails))

- I'll add more if I think of any, or if someone else has a good idea.

So, let me know what you guys think and if you would like, and participate in, something like this. It could be really fun if people actually get in on it.

Here is a link to the original thread, post relevant things there please: http://terrafirmacra...3200#entry43200

(Note: This isn't meant to replace derails, it would just add another way to have fun here on the TFC forums)

Here's some new stuff to add to this thread that came up in the original, please go there to reply, unless you want to bump this to keep it on the first page.

PLEASE DON'T JUST READ THE TL;DR!!!!!

THERE IS WAY MORE INFORMATION HERE THAN CAN EASILY BE SUMMED UP!!!

What I'm hoping for is to get staff approval of this so that I don't create a bunch of threads that get lost after 2 days because they weren't stickied. For these to be successful they need to be endorsed by the staff and stickied so that they server their purpose. So Dunk, please respond if you see this.

A little bit more info:

(basically, I (or someone else if you want) would write up the rules for the ones people want then they could be posted by either myself or a staff member to be stickied here in the off topic section) I think an ideal number of threads to start with could be 3 of the top picks. More could always be added. (Another option is to instead of stickie these in the off topic section, make a new Roleplay section (that is in the same category as the off topic section, just like the "Show Off" or "General" category has multiple sections, the Off Topic category would contain Off Topic and Roleplay) that contains the "official" threads stickied but allows users to post their own if the want, and if they become popular, get stickied. Or have two sub-sections in the Roleplay section, one for the official threads and popular user made threads that have been moved from the user threads sub-section of the Roleplay section.)

This is kinda confusing... I'll try to condense it and show it through text.

This is what home page of the forum would look like with an RP section

General

- Announcements

- Bug Reports

- Download Mod

- Discussion

- Support

- Suggestions

Show Off

- Guides

- Texture Packs

- Let's Play ( and Live Stream)

- Seeds

-- Seed Request

Off Topic

- Off Topic

- Roleplay

-- Official and Popular (Endorsed Threads, Hot Threads, etc. whatever you want to call it. This section can only have threads posted/moved here by staff, but posts by members on established topics are enabled obviously.)

-- User Threads (Threads posted by users, popular ones (maybe not to be determined just by a thread having the "hot" tag or not) are moved to the Official and Popular sub-section)

Geral

- Discussão

Just something to consider if the staff thinks RP would be a good idea.

TL;DR: I want to know if the staff is interested in this being official, and if so should there be a new sub-forum/section (whatever the right term is) dedicated to RP.

Also, if people could go through (shouldn't take long) and rate each idea on a 1-5 scale (5=I really want this! 4=I want this. 3=I don't care, but may participate 2=I won't participate, but not opposed to existence 1=I don't want this at all) I will organize them according to highest average rating. (A poll doesn't really work for this purpose )

To refresh you memories, the ideas as of now are... (examples and explanations are in the OP)( I will create new posts to ask for ratings on any new ideas that come after this.)

- Fantasy

- Sci-Fi

- Historical Eras

- Misc. Fictional Characters and Universes

- Minecraft Adventures

- Minecraft Adventures Other Mods

- TFC Adventures

- D&D

- TFC Forums Originals

TL;DR: Please rate the ideas for RP threads in terms of which ones you want, based on the scale I provided.

The original topic is here, please discuss relevant things there, and not here: http://terrafirmacra...-threads-maybe/

achartran...can you add a TL;DR and sopiler some things to make everything more readable? Thanks...

[Kimbblesrath 503]

Ugh, fine. If I must make my post more streamlined and accessible I guess I will.

I may not finish right now, as I have been saying all day, I'm doing my college application for my top choice college today.

Also, If I hadn't made a new post no one would have seen the new information, I think it is justified. Especially because this thread isn't meant for discussion, the one in off topic is (I know it's backwards, but that is just how it happened), This is just to make sure the people who don't check off topic see this, as many people here would enjoy this. (for example: Noodles doesn't check off topic, but this suggestion certainly applies to her (I would assume), so it is posted in suggestions for her (and others) to see and then to lead them to the original thread to discuss.)

You have been saying this a lot. Sorry if you find this too personal and don't want to answer. If you don't feel free to say so. But do you mind sharing which top-choice college of yours you are applying to?

I don't mind at all

Goucher College

my other four that I will definitely be applying to at the end of December are...

- Hampshire College

- Clark University

- UNH

- UVM

There are a few others I'm not sure about.

Cool. Thanks. I wish you luck. Hope you get into Goucher and the others!

anyways, how do you like the new spoilered information? I'm copying it over to the main thread now

[Kimbblesrath 503]

It is good. Much easier to read and doesn't look nearly as daunting. Things are really much easier to read when you don't have to scroll or zoom out to read the whole thing

They're ok, but why do you keep them inside a quote? It's a bit useless, apart if you have a valid reason to do this...

To illustrate that this is simply a place for this idea to be more broadly seen, and not a place for discussion. People should go to this thread to discuss (but keep this chatter here if it has to happen, please): http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/2773-a-few-rp-threads-maybe/

[achartran 465]

Sorry to bump, but...

In light of things recently said by crysyn, this suggestion has become something that I think is necessary to continue the fun we have on these forums (the reason I come here to be honest, I only actually play TFC once or twice a week if that.), without pissing off the moderators.

So, please, give this a look, a like if you want, and discuss.

(also, would it be possible to get the original thread in the off topic section merged into this one? The suggestions forum is a better place for things of this nature.)

RP... you know Red Power is the first thing that comes to my mind now... Maybe you should be a little more clear on the name of the thread.

Yeah, right. I still don't understand what Rp means and I too think that it's redpower.

[achartran 465]

I don't think I can change the title... :/

But that didn't even cross my mind, sorry.

EDIT: I changed it, I hope it's less confusing now

You can edit the title by clicking edit and then "full editor" :3

(Dunk or another mod, can you change the title to "A Few Roleplaying Threads, Maybe?"?)

You can chnge the title by clicking on edit in the OP. But open the edit in a new window and also the title appears.

Ok, done, thanks for the tip

(Also, Wolf, RP is the abbreviation for Roleplaying, wikipedia article HERE if you need it. THIS one too, although I'm not only talking about things like Dungeons&Dragons.)

EVERYONE! Please go to the original thread in Off-Topic and use the rating system to help me formulate a better suggestion! PLEASE RATE!!!!
