    You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.
    I wish we could make a thread or a PM thread to keep track and record based on reputation who is 'good' and dependable and who isn't.

    People can also ask to write a review on the person (anonymous of course) based on other things. Also the person themselves can write what interests them in forms of RP/story genres (romance, action, mystery, etc). It would be an interesting way to keep track.

    Sort of like a RP forum mass Resume.

    Although something like that could cause a lot of problems and would need to be monitored by a very responsible and fair person.

    So I doubt that would happen due to having it maintained constantly. Not to mention potential fighting and complaining.

    Great idea, Dabiene. But you're right. Don't foresee that surfacing any time soon. Griping alone would bury it.

    I don't suppose someone would take it up, write up any possible RP'ers down that want to be part of the big 'resume' and do it that way.

    For example... Let's say Bob makes up a word document and announces on a thread anyone that wants to be on the resume he would put down.

    So say, Kate, Bill, and Joe are put down in the document at their requests, along with their preferences and what they are good at (along with any other things they would like to add, such as availability)

    And another person that reviews someone that isn't on the list would automatically be added along with a review of that person.

    Now say after a while the list adds up to say... 20 people with various reviews, likes, dislikes, etc.

    Along comes James and asks either on the thread itself or PM's the person that has the document for a recommendation to what they are looking for. The keeper then provides the list of people they think are a good idea for.

    This list can also include people that are known for good RP keeping (keeps the roster filled and keeps the RP going).

    This way it's anonymous and there are less fights. People can submit reviews anonymously of course. As well as provide any links to evidence that proves that validation of the review. Again, but job for the keeper.

    ---------------------------------

    Just an idea. However, like I said, that would take time. And since the RP forum isn't as active as it was... if we started this now, it would take a quite a while to even get a decent list, let alone a good use for it. If we used it say two years ago it would be a lot more helpful.

    ---------------------------------

    As for any RP's that are out there that haven't been mentioned... I can't really think of any off the top of my head. That are blowing up I mean and are very active or at least have a continued flow. Sorry I can't be of more help. :sadface: I love RP'ing but I've pretty much almost given up. Perhaps we all need to expand to different Game RP's. There are Mass Effect and Fallout RP's on here. Who's to say we can't expand to more games? RP's are limited to your imagination and creativity. Shame to restrict it to a few games.

    maybe...
    A good rp has a few important elements... communication being the biggest part of any rp, your crew doesn't communicate with you then it won't be very successful, sad but it's the truth, been around long enough to know that... second is the idea... not saying you need a full start to finish idea just a small plot to get it started, the more you leave it open the more ideas (within reason of course) to keep it going.. also last thing... always listen to your writers... have them help with ideas and what not, it's a group thing.. cause if it's just you, you might as well just write a fanfic (just saying)

    Okay, Dabiene. I hereby nominate you for the Producer of Said Lists position. :eek::D

    Has to be someone who's very active lol No idea if you're serious or not XD

    But if you are, first there has to be a good number of people supporting the idea, then figure out someone good for the job.

    Very well said. :)

    Fair enough. Doesn't sound like either you or me are active enough, huh? :eek: Attention span of a gnat over here, but anyway. :D

    Serious or not, you make a good point. And I do believe we'd get enough supporters. More I think about it, my issue is now would something like this alienate others? That would definitely not be a good thing.

    Hm, I'll think about making a thread this weekend on it. And have people give an opinion on it. I'd also like to have Rayven's opinion on it. Would really be helpful having her take on it.

    I'll also have a poll set up. Just in case. Keep the numbers in perspective. ;)

    I like this idea. Only reservation is the one regarding there being so few people left, that it may not be all that useful.

    Dabiene, that idea sounds awesome. I really think that we should do that. Maybe it would even include an RP sample. We'd have to discuss on the discussion thread what would be on the resume. I absolutely support this idea. As for active members.. well, there are few enough of those here. I'm fairly active but I wouldn't vote for myself simply because I'm here, and we can surely find other active members willing to step up.

    Felidae, that's the unfortunate truth. Roleplays on this website, nowadays, are few and far between. I had considered making a new website with help, to gather a bunch of Skyrim roleplayers yearning to write, but I can't (at the moment, possibly ever).

    Gidian, I'll keep my eyes peeled for threads from you in the future, then. Maybe I'll make a new character at some point. The thing is that I made a vow of sorts that my characters will only participate in one thread at a time. That way, plots don't get tied around each other.

    I think the group resume is a great idea!

    I've never actually finished a RP. They always die down before things really get moving. I find myself getting immersed in the character interactions and different writing styles more than the actual story, and every RP has so much potential! I've started to not get so excited about them because of the short lifespan they've had in my experience. But I keep joining new ones anyway, because you never know!

    (I'd like to add that I realize they fizzle out for different reasons and I don't fault anyone for it! Things happen! It would just be nice to keep one alive and active for a long time.)

    Alright, I'll make a post/poll about this if it gets enough support by tomorrow (or I may just make it anyway).

    We do get new members even after a 4 year old Skyrim every now and then so that'll help with the usage of a group resume (if it is supported enough).

    As for all of us doing a RP, I'd be down for that. Just make it a very interesting plot!

    Can I be a part of this as a inexperienced writer? Still looking for a RP where I can get support instead of just being forced to post alone.

    I see people are looking for RPs. Now I'm not sure how many of you remember my old RP thread, the Channels? The InFamous-inspired superhero one. Well, I was thinking of rebooting it, with a more specific set of rules, having learnt from my mistakes first time round. How many people here would be interested in that?

    I've been tempted to try and revive The Keepers a few times, but I just can't think of any certain plot points to use for it, and without a good story it's just doomed to fail again.
