For A Better Roleplay Experience (RP Creation, Discussion)

[The New Greek Republic]

Hello, fellow RPers of PTTM!

I've been looking around for a RP that really interests me, and well most I've seen , to put it bluntly, suck! What I really, and most importantly, want of a RP, is activity, immersiveness , and quality. I want enough people to keep things going, and to keep them going for a long time. I want to literally feel like I am the person I am portraying, whether person or president. And for it to make to be of top tier quality.

I would really like for the RPers of PTTM to come together, and form one of the best RPs ever seen. I would appreciate it very greatly, if we could work on this project and formulate something amazing. Thank you for the time, guys!

I try to maje a Character nation hybrid rp.If succed,i'll call it ChaNat.

Well, Good Luck! I have a 1946 Cold War RP that hasn't really gotten on its feet yet. That's why I made this so we can create a long, immersive, and good RP to enjoy.

I've never seen a nation-based RP that ever went anywhere very interesting in terms of story. 99.9% of them are absolute throwaway godmod garbage anyway that tread over the same ground every single time. I cannot tell you how many generic nation-based WW2 play-a-nation-from-1938 RP wankfests I've seen.
Char-based RPs, even though a lot of them are boring or throwaway too, are at least almost as a rule more interesting and have a far better chance of telling a good story.

I am part of several excellent RPs. At least, in my opinion. It's true that many are pretty terrible, and WW2 are especially bad, because despite anyone's efforts to keep them running well, they always manage to scrape up all the newbies and bad RPers.

Although I should point out that good WW2 RPs are not at all impossible.

And many Nation RP's get new player who don't understand how to RP right, or they have bad grammar. In my 1946 RP, I may have a biased opinion but I think I formulated a good backstory but I think people were to lazy to read it, considering it was very long. And many character RP's have great potential but they die quickly.

Nation RPs are also almost by a rule easier to do as well, in my opinion. Less writing required.

The solution to char RPs is persistence. Really, if you care about them and they die, keep pushing. Excalibur Squadron has nearly died out from in activity twice in its history, both in the early stages. Had I left it there, it would've died around September, but I kept going with it. Now, it's more active that it's ever been. I'm very grateful for that.
Really, if your RP goes inactive, my advice to you, if you really care about it, is to keep bumping it and TGing people. You may be more successful in keeping it alive than you think.

t
yeah. I made one about a hypothetical situation where the Parthians collapsed, the Kushans were weakened, and China and Rome expanded into the void, accidentally going to war with each other. It could've been great, but it got 30 pages on the first day, 10 on the next, 5 on the next, then about a page a day after that for a week or two, and then died.

Nation-based RP's. While it is easy to spoil them with poor players, there is far more strategic action and chess-board like aspects.

Character-based RP's everyone only cares about backstory and interaction and nobody seems to pay attention to tactics or actually fighting any wars.

So true. Character RPs eventually revolve around a good storyline, and although that's good, it's not always fun.

I totally agree. Nation based RP's interest me more because you can take leadership of a country, (and isn't that why we all joined NS?) and lead them how YOU want to lead them.

While character RPs let you step into the shoes of another person, I find them to often die when they are on a cliffhanger, and when your interest is at the peak, but most RP's do that.

So what do you think think a RP needs to be a lengthy, and good RP?

Yeah, i am in 2 of the RPs he is in, actually. Both are WW2 RP, and one got screwed up. And the other one is gonna screw up, too, i think.

If you're playing an RP to win you're already doing something wrong in my opinion.

Winning in RPing is telling the best story you can.
If you have any other definition, you really should be off playing Hearts of Iron or COD or something.

But if you're playing not to win, you are doing something wrong too.

Yeah, best to do that on threads you're not already active on, else it may constitute gravedig. On which note I suggest avoiding this thread.
