Current Star Wars Persistent World, that was a thing that was sort of a thing. Kind of.

If you feel like you need help no shame in going out there and getting it. Take care of yourself.

I think you can develop a flair. A personal style. Words and phrases you like. That's why I don't get using Grammarly for word suggestions.

Maybe we can play something fun though.

Closing Time maybe?

WAP? Get it, because the boats sinking. So we're all wet.

I kill me.
And I have asked Mahz, two years ago, but he basically just acknowledged the problems I brought up, said he'd ask folks to do better, and said he's got it the way he wants it and he's not going to change it. And then disappeared again. Which takes us up to current date.

Although really that only highlights how right you are, TGM, in both paragraphs.

The changes needed will not be made, so the best any users can do is try not to contribute to the problem and try to be a positive influence, or if not an influence at least make a positive contribution. It's not a very good option but it is the best we can expect here.

I'm mentioning you because I forget how to Reply and can't be asked to figure it out.

@TGM

A reminder to back up your shit, a bitter remind but a reminder.

I'm forever grateful to the folks who backed up part of the old old ass Bethesda Fallout/Elder Scrolls Fan Fiction Forums.

Good fun to see shit I wrote like 15-16 years ago. Sometimes I cringe and sometimes I feel just a little proud.
Staffing is still the primary issue.

The same people that have run it into the ground are still running it into the ground. Same folks that let certain people do whatever in the Discord are still doing that. Mahz is the biggest problem not because he is mostly absent, but because he is entirely absent.

The foundation is corrupted. It's rotting. Every attempt to fix it has failed because it is like building on top of that failing foundation.

An influx of new users helps, but there is a fairly constant influx. The problem is not so much getting people in but retaining them. That should be done via the forum and Discord, but due to the mismanagement identified here and in a thousand other places a thousand times in the past that is neigh impossible.

There's a leak that Mahz isn't around to plug and no one who is here who can plug it is willing to.

Every time someone says this place is dying the same people say "it's not dying though Smiley Face Emoji, we just got 45 new users today" but in a few months half of those users are gone forever. Half check in every few months to see how active it is. Maybe Five folks actually stick around, but 3 of them are just on the Discord and the last 2 are doing eRP in DMs.

Dion is partly right. There's still plenty of moderation on the Discord, about that he's off. But While we likely disagree on the solution we likely largely agree on the problem and we agree that it will not likely be fixed today, tomorrow, or at any point in the foreseeable future.




Hello,

I'm taking part in an Arena Tournament on another Discord and having quite a bit of fun with it. I want to see who else might be interested in participating in one.

The idea is 1 on 1 fights in varied arenas with judges to determine who wins. This means it is more important to write well, respect your opponents choices, and generally be entertaining than it is to out try-hard your opponent.

If I manage to get interest I'd also be trying to drum up some judges. The tournament I'm in has maybe 20 participants but I'm not sure if they'd all be interested in participating/able to participate in a forum Arena thread.

We have an Arena section but it is essentially dead so I figured I'd do a general check.

To give you an idea, I'm currently in an Arena RP thread which is similar to what happens in the tournament. In the tournament itself one round I was fighting a sort of Plague Goblin guy named Junk-Fist in a world run by essentially Looney Tunes rules. In Round 2 I got into a Rap Battle with that guy from Malibu's Most Wanted. He turned out to be my son and we both tried to knock each other out with one big punch.

Both those rounds went to a judges decision.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me here or in DMs. If you're in that Discord I'd be particularly happy to hear from you
@Sir Lurksalot

Ruby currently has an X-Men based RP. Not strictly X-Men or even canon characters.

It has a Discord too.
