Here's my CS
How does she look?


Also, I hate to be that "guy" but maybe some rules would help?
They don't have to be too specific but some general guidelines like how often are replies expected, reminders of common sense things like no God modding or metaplaying, and possible what would happen if said rules aren't followed. For example there's an rp I'm active in that's doing pretty good because if a player goes seven days without either posting in the IC or letting the GM know what's going on their character is killed off and a replacement is recruited at the start of the next arc. Which I think is the reason why its gotten so far.
sorry if this comes across as pushy. Just my two cents.
Either way I'm really excited about this rp. Love the one piece universe.

It looks good. The rules were posted on the other thread. I'll repost them here soon.

I'm thinking we could do power play for small fry, and single person collaboration against larger scale enemies. If you want 2+ on 1 baddie we could do a power play.

An example of Power play is
User 1: I rush him and try to attack swinging diagonally from his left shoulder down to his hip. If it misses I would jump back to avoid, if it hits I'd stay on the assault.
User 2: I barely manage to sidestep the attack, and then counter with a right hook, but miss because (User 1) jumper back. I then try for a round house to his face, if it misses I try again. Should be block it I go for a backflip kick.

I should note, this is AU, so some things may stay the same, some may differ. Also, don't forget that your special attacks have to be theme based. I.e. Usopp's Stars, Sanji's Food Based names, or Luffys Weapon based names.

...Yeah, I think I'm dropping out. Sorry. ^^; I don't really like collaboration posts, and the other style of posting you mentioned is one of the many reasons I stay as far away from the arena as possible.

I'm still here. I kind of get power play, it's not really too different from normal battles in rps, but what's a single person collaborative rp? It doesn't seem very popular so are there any benefits that'll make it worthwhile?

The collaboration is for those one on one fights, this way we don't have a Wall of back and forth between one person. Like say, the Rob Lucci vs Luffy fight.

Oh. That doesn't sound too bad.
Wonder why it seems to be such a bit turn off for most

@malmshodesCan't speak for other people, but... You end up with a big, impenetrable wall of text which is usually just a big mess and also ends up destroying the individual voices of the writers to create some homogenous mush that's generally just not that fun to read.

I mean I have other problems with collabs, but those are my main ones.

As for the "power play" thing, I honestly think it completely removes the reactionary element of roleplaying, which wouldn't be so bad a thing if the reactionary element wasn't one of the core elements of roleplaying.

I'm not sure about destroying the individuality since from what I gather collaboration posts are really similar to regular rp replying, as in its one after another, but then they share the same post. So I can see how the size would be an issue, since their multiple rounds of posting all on a single space.
Maybe the problem could be solved if instead of collaborating between post, combatants relied on the "mentioning" thing? Again, just my two cents. Not trying to step on any toes. I just really want to see another One piece rp succeed!

I can't really say anything for the power play part since it seems like that would be entirely based on feeling and as I haven't tried it yet...... It would be like saying I do/don't like apples based on the shape.

I would love going off the Referential way, but half the time RPers forget. Perhaps if I can see a steady run of it, we could keep it that way.

Just make sure you don't Auto Hit unless it's against Grunts. Don't take over other characters, and don't throw some random NPC into your post suddenly. Also, remember the characters here are East Blue level, not Grand Line or New World.

Also, Mal, I realized your characters parents should be from Wano

Well, that's why I think my time limit on replies will come in handy. If someone doesn't post within a 5-7 day period kill off their character and then recruit someone else once its convenient.

I don't think there'll be a problem with that since I feel most fights in roleplays are done that way.

Sounds good

Sure. Time limit sounds good. Though, I don't know if I'll be able to keep that up once school starts after summer.

Mmmm How about we change it to a character has 5-7 days to advance a story? That way a player, if they know they won't be able to reply to a story, can hand off control for a post, or however long they'll be gone?
