RP General Discussion

lol he said to make it after you got permission

yeah ... So ... checking things out here... I'm confused by the RETROSPECT-threads... dunno what is what in that, but I understand that's the only active one? what's up in that?

Actually Rex, since you are running so many games anyway, couldn`t you spare one introduction for new people? You are certainly good enough. 🙂

I've been considering it, since there seems to have been a lot of new people showing up in this section.

Jovan, the Retrospection threads are games looking back at the backgrounds of characters that are from the games run by Ushgarak, which have been active since 2000 up until this point. He's currently writing more, and I'm just filling in.

so you aint hosting any active games than?

Not yet. But, due to outside interest in those games, I will probably write up an roleplay for people to participate in. ✅

Interested, Jovan?

it depends on how difficult you make it and what dudes you can play and such, I guess
I'm new in this so if it's too difficult I'm just taking a run away from it 😉

there are 2 other games being hosted. they've just been seeing less activity in the past 2 days. certain story details are being discussed.

I have to tell you, my games are not terribly difficult once you start play, though the character creation process might scare you a little. As might the numbers. They are not free-form, after all.

And to answer the question that you posted in my thread, Darkxbox, there was never an opportunity to join the Retrospection games.

The only way you get into the Retrospection games is by already being a player in Ush's games.

And it's incredibly rude to post in another person's game thread like that...

I understand that; you don't wanna get players that just stop after a few days... first get a feel of the dude and see he really wants to participate. In the mean time I can try and follow the stuff here.

What Lana said was directed at Darkxbox, not you, Jovan. No worries! 🙂

I suppose I will get working on something for everyone to play, then.

i don't see how but just in case, sorry. i mostly play in unhosted so i'm used to being able to ask questions openly.

ok, thx

Hosted games are, in my opinion, far more formalized and organized than unhosted/free-form games, so it is almost entirely uncommon for people to blunder in and ask if they can play when they have little knowledge of the game itself, no offense.

I must warn you, hosted and unhosted games are entirely different.

Well, there's a difference between asking questions and interrupting what is essentially a private thread.

There's a general discussion thread (this one), it was already stated the Retrospection games are private and closed...so how on earth could it be anything but rude to go posting in one of the threads?

And yup, agreed with Rex, we're far more formal and organized here than Unhosted.

ok, i get it. i didnt know that retro games were closed.

Is there an amount of times you have to get online per week?

I'm definitely looking forward to that, REX.

I prefer at least one active post per day, Jovan, but it's not a demand. I just find it hard to keep interest going in the game when not everyone posts daily.

yeah, I understand that, I'm doing my best... summer should be better anyways
