Hardcore RP is, of course, password protected. Those of you who desire the password, I will begin giving it out at the end of the month to those who I think are well adjusted and adequately skilled members of these RP forums. If you think I forgot you when I send out the password (on March 31), PM me and I'll see what I can do. (And NO, hardcore RP is not for "hardcore RPs" I know what some of you were thinking. Even there, keep it PG-13 EDIT: Fixed. For reference, original message was: Elite RP Elite RP is, of course, password protected. Those of you who desire the password, I will begin giving it out at the end of the month to those who I think are the elites of these RP forums. That is all.

This may end up turning against you Lee. Those whom you invite into the secret place will, of corse, love you. But those who aren't are gonna be pretty pissed at being classified as second rate. You might want to think twice about this.

I would say the same thing as Prime. It is hard to say who is elite, and who isn't. Like, my Rp'ing would sound better, if I didn' t try and compare myself, to some of the sizes of the posts you people make. So, it depends, on your opinion who gets the password or not, and you can have voting sessions to let people in and crap like that.

Yeah, I was talking to Yagei about this a few nights ago.
=/
I don't mind playing with new-er roleplayers (not Pokeschool-wise, but exp-wise) ,and I think if all the experienced players went Elite, then we couldn't set examples for the newbies.
And no, none of you are newbies. I'm referring to those who have yet to roleplay but are interested... maybe they can't get the hang of it, or can't use half-ass decent grammar or whatnot...
So yeah, I'd rather not rp with the 'Elite', as the idea itself seems rather superficial.
It would cause a prejudice, even if unintended.

I think that I may have had trouble communicating this earlier. Anybody who has spoken with me on the subject knows that really, I actually enjoy working with newer RPers. Their inexperience can add a welcome mood change, and often they bring a host of new ideas. The function of the Elite forums is twofold. Atmosphere and goal setting.
First of all, there are RPs that one would want to be rather formal and serious. You know, the sort where you plan on doing a very big and important plot. Generally, you'll want this to be well written by all and taken as more of a serious endeavor, and less of a "just for kicks" deal. Thus, Elite RP is where your really treasured plans can be protected. I have no problem with beginners, but generally it's best when they don't go and learn how to RP all over somebody's magnum opus. (sp?)
Secondly, giving the beginners something concrete. Vethood is a very loose term, and caused a few arguements about who was a veteran, and who was not. If there is a symbol of one having transcended their beginnings, it gives a much more concrete goal to work towards.
BTW, I plan on giving every current member, just with the stipulation that they go and use spell check. It's very likely that as soon as somebody surpasses Treynor level skills (in other words, can RP without halting us by way of writing problem), then I'd give them the password if PMed about it. In fact, I think I'll go and change the name now to reflect that.

Ok, maybe not sure a hugely idiotic idea. Good one Lee.

(And NO, hardcore RP is not for "hardcore RPs" I know what some of you were thinking. Even there, keep it PG-13 Bastid. I can't unleash my full RP potential without the hawt secks, drug and alcohol abuse, and lack of the F word more than once in a topic. Especially the sex. UNF *dry humps Lee in a totally G rated way* Anyways, on a more serious track, I'd say wait at least until the new RPer is a month old. A month also demonstrates that they do in fact care and that they aren't just here for a week for scats and giggles. It also gives you an escape from "OMFG, y did he get hc status b4 i did?!?!? tihs forum f'ing sux0rz!!!!111one" because you can then plainly state the time of arrival. Just my two millicents

Nope, they're already here. *stares intently and drools* Sounds like a perfect place to do one little plot I've been wanting to do... Not revealing what it is though....

Hey, why can't we curse and drink and screw our characters brains out? This is Lee's site, after all, and most of the anime's we're screwing around with have more than a little of those features, especially the japanese virsions. The Sailor Scouts were all lesbian lovers in japan, you know. I bet the had a hell of a time cleaning up that shit.
I say, if you know the words and you got the will to use em, come on in! Why the hell not? We're not in SCHOOL!!! And I am against anything that makes it seem like school. Power to the RPers!!!

For starters a lot of the RPers are young and it's against the law to subject them to such material Also I don't want to RP in a topic which is full of swearing and sex. As much as I enjoy both it just doesn't make for comfortable Roleplay plus it doesn't exactly take much imagination to type a few swear words and the various words for parts of the female anatomy. I personally prefer something that takes a little thought.

I still want to be able to cuss loudly and satisfyingly when one of my character's is pissed off.

I beg to differ on the topic of the Sailor Scouts...there were only two lesbians in that show.

Basically, sex is forbidden due to the fact that it leads into a very wrong kind of crowd showing up. There's two kinds of people on the web. Those that socialize, and those that porn-out. Basically, I don't want those whackos coming in here. That's why no sex. Generally, you can say almost anything here. I think only a few words are prohibited, and they're all sexual terms and racial slurs, IIRC. Yes, even the F-Bomb can be used, as Andurin will prove by posting a post consisting only of F-Bombs as soon as I suggest that idea. Language is cool in moderation. Violence? Cut loose, man. We don't need to have a graphic description of spurting entrails, but otherwise, go ahead.

Anyway, is this thing even going to launch?

As one of the porn-whacko's, I'd like to defend us by saying that we socialize. Well, except I gave up porn for lent, but that's NOT the point. However, Lee made me do this: cc f cc f U cccc U Kk FUCK kK fFUCKk ffFUCKkk ffFUCKkk ffFUCKkk fFUCKf FU
It's an F-Bomb. Get it? I'm so mature

As said, I'll be handing out the password for Hardcore RP to all members who are RPers and joined before the end of the month.

Heylo Lee~ Did you mean before the end of March or April?

Well, I meant end of March, but lost computer until Tuesday night at best, thus I'll take until then to get the passwords out.
