Oh, my bad, I wasn't aware there was already a place for this. But there is a distinction. Unlike STRYH, this thread doesn't have a no hassle, troll, etc. Rule. Everything that complies with WTFRPG rules goes.

If you feel this distinction is not sufficient justification to have this thread going however, I guess I can just go there instead.

I guess I see where you're going with this. Alright, I'll go to SPTRYH for now.

Well, sometimes people just want to go a little crazy without any real harm intended. Still, I see your earlier point in regards to the lack of a need for two hangout threads and I won't insist.
WTFRPG actually doesn't have any forum rules that prohibit repeat threads. If you'd like to promote conversation here and have an alternate hangout, then that is perfectly fine. You're more than allowed to create your own thread for yourself and your friends. Everyone is always welcome to create their own space. :)
While we are still a small community and it's always nice to keep certain threads as active as possible, we still want to grow and expand! Two threads could potentially divide a conversation, but it could also potentially double our conversations! So post here, post over in Somewhere to Rest Your Head, or post in both. S'all cool.
Well, since you're an administrator I have no reason to question your judgement. I'll recommend this thread to other people and post in SPTRYH when it gets more active.
This community will surely grow to blossom into a wonderful one, I mean... there's been at least ten people who joined since I did and that was only two months ago. With some luck and continuous activity, those numbers can grow exponentially.
We're slowly gaining momentum over here. This site isn't set up with a lot of flash-and-bang, so we don't gain a huge number of casual newbies, but that just means that many of our members are invested in quality roleplaying and interaction. We'll get lots of new members in time. It's just a matter of chugging along and making sure that all newcomers feel welcome.
It may have been a big pain, but the spam bots that have posted on the forums are actually a testament to how well our site's advertisements are doing. If those people can find us, then so can a lot of legitimate users! :rolleyes:
True enough, true enough. I like that the administrators of this website are so modest. "We're hosting a small but dedicated RP site which we hope will become successful and is already on the climb there" as opposed to "I am the god of this realm, bask upon my shiny turd!" Something which, sadly, has happened too often in the past for me. I enjoy being able to talk to the admins as equals.
I mean, of course, administrators have to uphold the rules and have a certain degree of strict behavior to them, but that doesn't mean they have to be completely out of reach, right?
-raises hand meekly-
I'm just glad that the coding here works fine... ; v ; some of the other sites I've been on..I cannot okay guys the coding there I was facepalmdesking multiple times//crai
Pfft, I am God here. Why state the obvious, right?
But I hope that you guys always see me as accessible. I may not be as active a roleplayer as some users, but I've been here since the very beginning and have always loved reading through the storylines that you guys create. If you ever need something or have a question, just give a shout!
I appreciate that.
And Sunny, I'm happy you've found a place to call home. I haven't been here long but I like... no, I love it here so far.
*rolls around the thread*
Ahhh, much better. Now it smells more like me.
WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.
Something is missing....

Now it's Xavi-approved! B|
Haha, nice going there. How's it going?
I try. :p
And it's good. I'm extremely bored at the time being though and I have nothing better to do than look up gifs of Tony. >.>
http://25.media.tumblr.com/e8c40fbe3...4mt8o1_500.gif
Okay so technically I do but looking up Tony is far more entertaining. XD So what's up with you? Anything new and exciting happening? :3
Not much really, I've got a few RPs going on, watching some batman beyond (just found out about the series) and reading a manuscript for work, though I've got 'til tomorrow afternoon so I'm slacking ._.'
Woo! Another slacker. We should form a club: Slackers of WTF. B|
And roleplays. Hmmm... anything new and exciting that might be worth joining? Right now my group ones aren't active and my onexones are pretty slow too. So I'm kinda on the market for something new and fresh.
Well, I have a few RPs in mind but it really depends on what you like. I've made an RP called hell games not too far back with 3 members (including myself, sadly) so far. It's pretty much in stasis at the moment as we'd need 4 players to get anything going, but the game's style can be somewhat complex to some and I can understand why many are reticent to join. Still, worth checking out.
Then there's power struggle made by Ophelia, if you're into superhero RPs.
Those are the two main ones I'm pushing at the moment because they've got virtually no activity so far, but if you are into something different just let me know, I have other suggestions.

That said, I'm always looking for an active 1x1 to post in, especially when my group RPs are slowing down. If you're up for it, of course.
ETOHJWIAHRGIOHERHGQ
SUPER HEROS?!
*looks at avatar, signature, and previously posted pictures*
Nope, I'm not obsessed with them. >.>
*sneaks on over to thread*
Have fun :)
And imma join it. Just need to tweak my character. >:]
I look forward to seeing it. I'll let Ophelia know to expect a new member soon 'cause she doesn't log on nearly as often as she wish she did ._.' Lazy roommate :P
Bwah ha ha. Nice. And my character is done. Currently a villain but I see him turning into a hero at some point. >.> Might make another (and by make I mean use one of my previously made characters because I miss playing them). XD
You should check out the new things on the front page when you have the chance, that's how I find the latest RPs, sometimes there's a good one or two.

I think that'd definitely be cool. No rule against multiple characters XD
I look forward to RPing with you. Gonna have to give the approval an hour or two though, sorry for the delay but it can't be helped apparently :P
:3 Oh man, I cannot wait to roleplay with you too! I AM SO EXCITED. *glomps you*
Oh and I read over Hell Games! I just need to read the character part and start working on a character. I do believe I get the general gist of things. It sounds like a challenge and I like it! :D
I'm glad you're interested :D Thank you so much!
I'm bringing some life back to this with...
http://data.whicdn.com/images/487415...3az8_large.gif
Yup. I'm just full of random Renner/RDJ gifs these days. B|
That face is simply hilarious.
I would marry him just for that face.
(Fun fact, my boyfriend has that face. I am dating him for that face)
Okay, I have to ask because it becomes increasingly difficult to be certain these days. Are you a girl, or gay? I'm not judging, I just want to be clear on the matter. Hope I'm not offending you by asking ^^'
I'm a chick~! Here's teh proof! But most people mistake me for a guy. Probably doesn't help that I have a dude for an avatar and I really only roleplay male characters.
Only reason I play male so often is because so few women can. I've gotten so used to writing as a guy, I just always default to it. Side note, most of my friends are male. So I'm constantly surrounded by them and I usually pull personalities from them. I think I have a long way to go still before I master the art of being a man but I'm waaaay better than most people who try to pull off a dude. XD

Oh and no offense! Like you said, in this day and age it's hard to tell who's male and who's female. (Although my asking of the girl SPACE friend should have indicated woman. We women love our romance gossip :3)
Oh that is bullshit, so many women can play males well, that saying so many can't is the most overstated rumor in all of the RP community.
On Mene, that's the case. Or at least it was three years ago. WTF definitely has the most well-rounded roleplayers. Not sure how Gaia or any other sites are. I really only use WTF. Why go elsewhere when the players here are so superb?
It's not like writing a gender is something magical or takes any skill Xavirne.
Eh, I think it takes skill. If you want to come across as a believable character, you need to have some know-how on the gender you're going to portray. Some people are better than others. Some people can just dive right in whereas others like to do some "research," if you will. And then it always comes down to personal preference. Some people just like what's natural for them and others don't mind flipping things up.
But that's just me. I've roleplayed with people who cannot pull off the opposite sex. Seeing them struggle definitely makes me believe there needs to be some skill involved. Heck, roleplaying in and of itself involves skill. Granted, that level of skill is 100-percent in the eye of the beholder. It really all comes down to, like I said, preference.
EDIT: What I am saying is . . .
If my male character identifies as male and does thing that are normally considered feminine or out of the socially acceptable norm for a male. He is still male and that does not remove from my ability to play him properly. Saying I can't play a male, because my character does things you think aren't "male/masculine enough" doesn't remove from my characters masculinity or the fact that he still self identifies as male.
Playing a male isn't something magical or hard or skill based. Portraying a consistent character on the other hand takes practice. Saying I am unskilled, because my character isn't some cookie cutter standard male template doesn't mean I'm playing a male badly.
As I stated, it's all up to personal preference. What I like and look for will always differ from everyone else, that's common knowledge. And that doesn't make me "rude." People know going into a game what I'm looking for (assuming I'm requesting someone else to play the male). If I don't like how it's coming out, I say something and we change it. Or I just roll with it. I can be picky when I want to but I can also be flexible. I have plenty of girly men characters (friends too) so I know the male spectrum is just as far and wide as the woman one. I think that's pretty obvious, in and out of the roleplay realm. Just look at all the people around us. It's what makes roleplaying fun and interesting. You do get to see other people's interpretations. Some I prefer more than others.
I feel like I need to clear this up:
Can and will. When a roleplayer specifically states, "Sorry, I can't play male," they are letting people know they won't play that gender. There are a lot of people that say that. Or apologize up front with "Sorry, my males don't always come out all that well." Some people are just self-conscious when playing the opposite gender. We all idolize different men so it's hard to know if you're giving your requested male character justice.Quote:

And my waaaaay better comment. It's regarding my Mene days. Back when I was on there, people would come to me to play males because I was one of a few active females who could play a wide range of male characters. If someone wanted a dick, I could play a dick. If someone wanted a whiny emo kid, I could pull that off. Some people can only play one male stereotype. Others can handle more.
You may want to edit your reply, because I removed that and reworded myself better.
