How patient is patient?

Don't misunderstand me; I'm not suggesting that every single role-player you'll ever encounter lacks the devotion to stick through 'til the end, but the vast majority of them likely will. This is why I mentioned using the OOC, and a general gauge of the participants' personality, as a good way to work out if they should be accepted into a role-play.

You could make the argument that, as a writer, I am in fact role-player with myself since I get into the minds of each character when write their part of the narrative... That being said; I don't think you should completely give up on finding people who are worth investing what you have in mind into, since they do exist and are simply difficult to find. So long as they're not inherently a whimsical person and life doesn't get in the way you should be fine so long as they were genuinely interested in the idea from the beginning.

The problem with me is that I just don't have faith in people. The sheer amount of bullshit a single person is capable of makes me leery of other people from the start; and in my roleplay experience I've only found a dozen roleplayers I can truly say stuck to... I can't say the end, the group never made it to completion, but it did last a long time. The shorter roleplays I've done that actually have been completed are ranked higher than those that I've had great aspirations for. The feeling I get for completing a roleplay, however small, is much more worth my time investment than developing a world where I can't get a single story done in.

Will I completely tell humanity to fuck off? Well, I don't think caves give me brownies, and since I like my semi-daily brownies I can't say that much, but I do reserve any degree of real trust for those who earn it over an extended period of time. It is those people that I start to have a little trust in for getting things done.

How patient is patient?

All depends on the roleplay. Fast paced ones, a couple days could be the sound of nuclear war incoming. To other roleplays, "Woah mate, way too fast there". It depends on the established feel and pace of a roleplay; if you can accurately judge what the pace is and be able to describe it as well as point out how it is in action, there's something right going on.

Doesn't mean I'll get to use all those ideas since (as I just said) role-plays die all the time due to many role-players having no conviction.

@Shoryu Magami

Which is the key reason why canons i believe I have mentioned to you never come out. On one hand, I don't feel like truly investing in things for them to die.

On the other hand, that would mean I would roleplay with myself... and if society has taught me anything, it's that there's something wrong when you only roleplay with yourself...

Hi all!

Ey! It ain't spam if it's in a can.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for even looking at that new discord thingamajig that's going around.

Hi all!

Welcome to the guild. All the best.

@ArenaSnow
Once again, I see what you did there... You cannot escape my all-seeing eyes.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for not becoming a mod in my roleplay for brutally killing spambots before they return the favor.

An Near Future, Post Presidential MiniRP

2020

Roleplayerguild has fallen.

The conquering armies of spambots have unleashed an attack never seen before upon the internet, and especially upon the fields of the guild. Hank, Kangaroo, the others have fallen in battle, barely able to stash away a small portion of their remaining nuclear arsenal. Terminal, for his walls of deep overwhelming lore, has been overrun. Precipice of War has been conquered. Dynamo Frokane has become old. The Twelve Labours have become The Twelve Casinos, and even Myyt, Bela and the old crew of Guild spammers have been mauled with kitchen sinks and bedframes. Mahz, driven from his own command room, can do nothing to stop it.

All that remains are the New Mods, those recruited after 2017 who were out... being very productive when all this went down. Back on the guild, they have come to see a war-torn wasteland without hope.

But damn if they will fall without a fight. Armed with banhammers, shotguns and an assortment of moderator weapons, they will return in full swing, facing the enemy with courage, honour, and not a little insanity.

This is guildFORSAKEN. The war has begun.

Alright, here we are. Apocalypse, cameos from our favorite gents, spambot invasion, all that. This will run through the rest of this month to the end of December - if this is not complete by then, (IC)Mahz will pull the plug and the Guild will be lost forever. So lets get started.

You're a mod. You have banhammers, shotguns (post deletion), and an assortment of tools to aid you short of the nuclear arsenal that obliterates individual bots and all their spawn. You came on the staff team some time from 2017 up to 2020 as cheap labor to take out the rising quantity of spambots, and by now you're pretty good at it. Not "charge in the room and kill everyone solo" good, but you can fight a dozen spawn and a couple bots to force them at a stalemate. This will be a mixed fantasy (hammers, melee equipment) and modern (shotguns, explosives, nukes) mix set in one setting, the Guild, with an assortment of rooms (size based on existing forums and extra bits based off navigation tabs). There's even a discord pool out back.

This is just the general concept thus far, so details and a CS will come later on. You'll be named as... yourself (something different, perhaps, if you made an alt and became mod with that at some point in the future). In the nill chance that a real mod comes in, half your CS is done for you, and you can in fact fight a room full of spambots at once. Win, another question, but you can fight in the battle. Spambots will attack with everything they got - kitchens, bedframes, entire beds, cars, playground equipment... they'll be many and they'll have stuff that is painful to be hit with. Your appearance? Make one up or be your avatar.

The tags are rather weird. There wasn't much to actually describe this, so I went with a modern fantasy apocalyptic RP with some anime logic on the side. Small group here is really more like 3-8 people + any cameos in the background.

I mentioned the names of some more well known guild faces, do tell me if you want zero mention. There will be some cameos, though they will be done with permission (feel free to request to become one and I'll hook you up at whatever point) and you can say "wtf? go away arenasnow" if you like as well.

Anyone going to feed my insanity bite?
