A Hello and an Inquiry

[Pepperm1nts]

I be a scout from a distant land, hello.

Our House suffered a terrible misfortune. I dare not speak of the details. I have traveled far to reach this place, leaving my people behind to seek a new ho

A'ight, whateva.. look.. I'm here to say hello and ask a few questions. I RP with a group of advanced roleplayers from.. elsewhere. But trouble has befallen our glorious House (it wus so saed). Bad stuff, trust me. Lots of people were slain, people were hung from their big toes, people's pants were stolen - it was bad. So now I'm here to do a little scouting in the event of a mass exodus. We have an RP that's been running for several years, with a huge lore to its name and dedicated players. It's great. And we have a few others that are new but have so far been going well. We may move those here if we need to in order to preserve them.

But we wanted to know a little about this place. Activity, dos and don'ts, the people, whether you think this place will continue to grow, ect. The goods and the bads, basically. Be honest. If we continue to be persecuted in our homelands, we might move here. But we need to be sure it's the right place.

Fellow survivor. I took a few bolts to the chest, but I should survive. You should see the other guy.

I guarantee you all will like us. Some of us are even vaguely attractive if you squint and turn your head to the side.

I just referenced 420 subculture and listened to Snoop Dog. But the Feds don't like it when I'm with the 'erb.

Welcome, lads. It's warm here and the food is nice.

[Vilageidiotx]

Yeh, Feo and Peppy up there took the brunt of the violence. I thought I saw them slit Peppy's throat, so i'm glad he healed up.

Greetings and welcome Pepper. Rules are the basic fair you'd find anywhere. They can all be boiled down to don't be a dick. As you may have noticed RPG is open to all genres of RPs. I even just read in todays news post about a new feature for User Created Worlds. So you and yours may even eventually be able to recreate your own RP world in some form for all to enjoy soon. Either way you all are welcomed here. =)

[Lillian Thorne]

We are here for the long term and the staff takes a light hand so as long as you follow the very basic rules (PG-13 or below on public threads), don't troll etc you should have a blast here. We have, in the past, housed mass exoduses of RPers from elsewhere and lots of talented writers call this place home. We are still developing after a crash so you should see some new features cropping up every now and again. If you have any questions just ask. I hope you find a home here.

Welcome to the site.

[Vilageidiotx]

How do you mean PG-13 on public forums?

[eyesonlyhacker]

I didn't know we had private forums for anything higher. =p

[Lillian Thorne]

PMs now function as threads so you can have multiple people in them. So in the PM threads, do as you like. In the Public threads, where minors and guests (such as the google ad people) can read them things must be kept PG-13. Meaning no written out sex scenes (fade them to black or take them to PM), language we are lest strict on, swearing is fine etc. Does this answer you?

[Pepperm1nts]

There goes half of our roleplays.

I joke.

Is there anything against violence? Like, descriptive wars where the damage done to individuals is detailed? That would be rather unfortunate, if so. I'm not saying we'd post pictures or something, but I will admit we've all written about warzones in detail, and that usually means going into the damage inflicted to not just the surroundings but the people. It can get a little descriptive sometimes.

[Lillian Thorne]

I've gone pretty violent in my RPs, it is mostly just sexual words and situations that cause us trouble with the ad-revenue people. So violence is fine.

[Vilageidiotx]

It does become something of a sticking point. Now, we haven't done a lot of sex scenes, but when they have a place we haven't shied away from them (crotch-headbutting notwithstanding). In truth, it is rare for a full-blown sex scene to happen, but there is plenty of sexual language, nudity, implied sex, vivid violence, cussing, and the like. I would hate to make our RP's PM threads, because they are awesome.

Would it be possible to simply mark our RP's as R rated as a warning for those who might be sensitive?

[Lillian Thorne]

Can you PM me an example? It is one of those gray areas, this question of what is too much. We are pretty laid back but the site owner has had ad revenue revoked twice and we aim to not have that happen again so he doesn't have to pay out of pocket. So labeling it as R won't help with the Google ad-revenue bots.

What you list, seems fine. The key is not to be graphic or lewd or obvious about it.

That is probably what you can expect. This isn't the norm for most of what we do. In truth, only a small number of us really go that far. I don't find myself very skilled at writing direct sex scenes without them being silly, so I don't so much. Most of what we will bring is violence, suggestive language, and a liberal amount of cussing.

[Lillian Thorne]

I think you are fine, the violence wasn't bad at all and the sex wasn't too much. I'm going to run it by the other mods but I honestly think you are good to go. I'll let you know what the final say is.

[Vilageidiotx]

We should be good then. =)

[Lillian Thorne]

You should be, we are pretty laid back here. I just put links an stuff up for other eyes to see and I will get back to you.

[Pepperm1nts]

That's what we're looking for, really. And I'm liking things so far. I look forward to seeing what the other moderators think.

[eyesonlyhacker]

What kind of RP community is yours anyways Pepper? Or was what Idiot up there posted it.
