Consolidated Discussion of RPG Mechanics

[Rem-13]

Are you honestly going to write even if these changes are implemented? I thought not.

Way to completely sidestep the logic of my statement and go for ad hominem. Can you go through a single discussion without attacking people? Nope. Difference is what I say might actually help the RPG, while you'll just go on being a dick for sake of being a dick.

Now, I reassert, who are these changes for if not those who are not roleplaying? If 'just write' was viable everyone'd be cranking out 5,000 word rps regularly. Unfortunately there are innumerable factors that go into the equation that decides whether a person feels like writing. I'm sure you are aware, if one does not feel like writing then they aren't going to enjoy writing, and if they don't enjoy it then what's the point? What this thread is attempting to do is create an environment that is most conductive to enjoyable writing as possible.

To this end I think activity begets activity, and I think that new members with youthful vigor will bring out the life in our more venerable roleplayers over the long term, but I completely agree that short term adjustments are needed to get things rolling right now.

Now following this, I think that either canon members are needed to draw in those new members, or else we need to reach out to a different branch and become a different RPG entirely. I haven't heard a better solution to the new member problem.
