So I've been thinking about this for a while and now seems like a good time to say that I'd be interested in doing some arena RPs for fun, especially if this place is gonna be all fixed up and shiny.

We need to all agree on the new painting scheme.
Tell me about it. I spent my last 15 minutes reading the, ah, conversation you and Dynamo Frokane had. Still, it seems to have ended well.

I've talked with Dynamo long enough to know how to engage him when he decides to not just meme people into the ground. Spoiler: it's not as hard as people think it is.
And ive talked to Gowi long enough, to know that underneath all that smug condescending flippancy there is a normal adult man there, it just takes a few straight talking posts to bring him out.
Arena Events would be nice too. One where it requires you to have x amount of wins to participate.
@Rilla
Rilla, being lazy and being proud about it is a good representation of what the arena is lacking, proper leadership. Trust me Iām not bashing you for it, shit you may have just lost interest. Iām unsure if the battle ground has multiple moderators or maybe souls who act like they have the big stick. If whatever is cool with you...why not just step down since you donāt really care. Shit thatās what I would do. See if the ppl talking can do a better job than you, if they canāt than laugh. Tbh your point system just needs to be reset, it can be the same system, just someone needs to actually keep up with it.
Arena Events would be nice too. One where it requires you to have x amount of wins to participate. Just small home brews could really bring this place back. Inkarnate made a solid point about it needing more story elements. Maybe a theme? The whole goal of the arena should be the number one fighter, maybe the area is a thing that spans across the multiverse forcing warriors of legend and time to meet through unconventional means all for a greater purpose. Little shit goes along way tbh.
And maybe you stepping down is not the wrote word, but adding someone to the team who helps direct may be useful. Removing you may be a issue since you ākeep the place cleanā. You apparently prevent ignorance, so I can assume you have good judgment, which is useful to making this place better.

Events, yes. More exclusivity and elitism (or the appearance thereof), definitely not. We need people to want to be here, telling them they're not good enough achieves the opposite of that. As has been discussed, people putting winning ahead of enjoyment make the arena a mor toxic, less pleasant place, and the rps themselves less fun. If a tournament were to take place here, players must have the mindset that winning is not the most important thing, which having a win barrier does not encourage.
Anyway, guys, I feel like whatever we decide upon, it has to enacted soon. Neglect seems to have been at least part of the cause of the problem, so agency is the solution.
