New RP Category.

I propose we include a novice or intermediate level roleplay forum to hold what we currently label "High Casual." In my opinion, a novice section could fill the gap between advanced and casual where people don't want to commit to the restrictions, rules, and standards of the advanced board and where people seek middle-ground to improve upon their skills with other people of similar capabilities. On the downside, a new novice section could initially be empty, inactive, and excessive. Thoughts?

The likelihood that our labels are going a makeover is slim. The general idea is that we have a good system of expectations outlined and should a GM need to personally tweak it for his/her RP, they're free to do so. Free, Casual and Advanced have a noticeable gap to figure out where someone is. The idea of "High Casual" may just stir up debates as it has in the past with people trying to find a middle ground between the three we have now. If we kept changing them, it might only confuse people and cause more bias between writers. ("High Free/High Casual" etc. is used by some now, but adding it may just make more issues)

I agree with all of what Genkai said. The current system is fine as is. Sure, it would be interesting to have more than the three, but I think that, and again as Genkai said, bringing up such a subject would only cause much unneeded arguments for those for pro-High Casual and those on the anti-High Casual sides.
