You can make it, it just won't be endorsed.

We're not saying you can't make one, we're saying we won't post it on the thread and give you the rights to call it a "Pub RP".

Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

You guys don't endorse anime RPs, right?

Would you endorse the hypothetical Spongebob RP?

While I agree that a lot of Academy RP's are pretty bad I don't think we should blacklist them entirely. I'd trust an RP by Anowa regardless of content, within reason of course. I think it's not so much the genre but the OP and people involved that make or break any RP.

I think the last one I participated in was either in September or August, which was Corrian's, because there was nothing going on either in P2TM or my region, and I wanted to keep my writing active. Aside from that I can't remember the last time I actively participated in one. I think that it was back in 2015, probably even earlier. Regarding what I don't like about them, if I tell you, I would be indirectly insulting you and everyone who enjoys them, which, if I believe correctly, is directly in violation of the Pub's rules, and so I won't do so. If you're really curious about why I don't like them, you can telegram me and ask me there. But I would implore you a) to not take it personally and b) not to drag the issue back onto the Pub.

I strongly disagree with the former sentiment. The latter sentiment is irrelevant because the people an RP like that will attract is inevitably the undesirables.

There are also reports of racism towards Vietnamese students

Undesirables can be attracted to any RP, though I'll relent that some genres are more likely to draw a bad crowd than others. Even Outbreak had its fair share of bad before finding it's footing. That being said I don't think any genre is inherently bad if it can be handled properly, after which it comes down to personal tastes. Some RP's I've seen had a good concept but I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole given the people involved. I know Anowa and would give his a chance.

I have a slightly dumb idea for a new RP that I won't be able to really jump into until my exams are over.

But it would have to do with a sort of a Medieval Period Mouse Kingdom embroiled in the middle of a civil war between the ruling Monarch family and a collection of various cities and noble families who are upset with them over some reason (I'm leaning towards there being multiple Mouse Kingdoms, and the current monarch family has done little to protect their borders against their neighbours). As a result, this collection of cities and families have risen up against the monarchs in order to overthrow them and establish a democracy.

Players would control individuals, either nobles, soldiers/mercenaries or civilians during this, most likely harsh war. I plan to establish first, the kingdom that this whole conflict is taking place in (including lore, a map and culture) before expanding to look at the other kingdoms in this universe (as well as any other species that come into conflict with the mice).

Probably be medieval fantasy with some elements of magic incorporated (nothing too much though).

Yeah but they also defeat Bei's point about any genre being tolerable with good enough writing.

Perhaps I should reiterate then, you can re-purpose the garbage of the worse RP genres into something decent.

But MLP RPs? You can't re-purpose afterbirth and and literal shit.
