[Idea] User-run Worlds

Just do the custom tab thing, it will allow people to govern 'multiple threads' easy enough, or not if they don't want to. Slap the CSS editor onto it and you got the exact same thing, except contained in a thread instead of a forum. It'll look a lot nicer than having a graveyard of worlds. The only function the worlds tab has over it is being able to support a large scale world, but honestly... If a PW was going to be succesful on this board, it would've happened by now.

Well, turns out that´s not working out for him ;p I'll move Clayman along when I get the opportunity.

Thankfully, nothing could possibly go wrong on Here cometh the wolves, I mean: I totally didn't transform into a werewolf infront of a bunch of strangers.

I can think of numerous things that could've impacted something bigger ;p

GM-RPer Relations

Rule of thumb for player input; ideas and questions are great, but pushing is not.

For example, I run an RP with quite a lot of fantastical elements, but it's a setting with only humans as and where castes don't matter. I've had people who wanted to create elves or nobility. I didn't want to deal with race balancing (running a stat-system makes attracting players hard enough, so it's kept as simple as possible) or characters being viewed as more important because of their birth (would bring in an unwanted social dynamic between players.) Some people managed to work around that, like having a summonable spirit with elvish features. I even had a player whose family brainwashed itself thinking their family name meant shit in the world (but OOC acknowledged it didn't.) ie, adapting an idea to fit with the pre-enstablished borders was fine. I've also had players who kept pushing for elves and nobles after telling them why they couldn't. Those were outright declined, because they didn't want to fit an idea into a setting, they wanted to force an unwanted change in the entire RP.

I have a tonne of questions. I think.

Sure. Just detail it as such so that people know what's going on.

A question about Gender and Identity.

I've become less and less careful with this over the years. I genuinely don't care about gender identification, as far as I'm concerned you're human and that's the base on which you're going to be treated. If you want to be called by a different pronoun, sure just tell me, no big deal, but I'll only do that because you asked me as a person. If you want me to put you on a pedestal for something that's about as important to me as being blonde or brunette... Well, you're probably not going to like me anyway. If on the other hand, we can hang out and have enjoy our selves, what could it possibly matter to me whether you identify as XX or XY?

Strangely enough, though, there's more than enough people who take offence to this mindset.

I'm pretty sure it's Marrow's turn, anyway.

Also, I probably won't kill Bishop, but I'll get Brovo's chars to background until he is able to post more consistently. I'm just not sure on how to do that for Bishop atm...

Oh and tirgesfu should be posting this week for Clayman.
