Any ideas to improve the Roleplaying Games forum?

[Oblivion]

Don't forget Flaze, and Feliciano is currently taking part in one of 'em.

Well, the ones just listed on this actual sub-section. Flaze is a very active RPer, no dought. But I havent seen Empoleon Dynomite or Chocolate Bones ever participate in my 6 months so far.

Hmm ... I have an idea, but it'd be more of a perk than anything. Just a fun contest, such as Roleplayer of the Month.

Seeing as no one in their right mind would have time to read every single active roleplay on the site, it'd work off of nominations. Five nominations total for voting, given who got the most posts towards that user name. Then set up the poll, give people a week to vote, and there you go. Winner and honorable mentions (2nd and 3rd).

There would naturally be wiggle room as that's just an idea, but it could be fun and encourage higher quality posts.

We are currently having a Christmas RP contest that just started. And I suppose we could consider some sort of recurring contest type thing.

Where is the contest?

[Mako]

Erm... I thought it was up already. Shit, my bad. It'll be up soon.

Someone needs to make an RP-ing tutorial and get it stickied. I'd do it, but I have very little experience.

I've written one on how to RP an Undead character, on the World of Warcraft Forums. It was received fairly well, so I like to think I have experience with these things, if we're allowed to post such a thing.

I'm working on one right now.

Seriously guys - if anyone has a problem, feel free to PM me. The sheer size of the RPG section means that, even with all of us here, we're bound to miss something. But if you've got a problem, don't hesitate to let me or any of the other mods know. That is, after all, what we're here for.

I think that now that Christmas has come and gone, we should have a look at this again. It'd motivate people to try harder, give newbies examples to look at, and reward people who contribute a lot to games they join.

Once again, I think we should honestly look at this once again. It could be a fin thing to introduce.

Maybe instead of just "Roleplayer of the Month" there are things like Roleplay of the Month, Character of the Month and such just to promote different ideas and deeper characters.

[Heroic Sociopath]

Why not all three?

[Mako]

Hmmm, this sounds good on paper, but there's a lot of questions about it.

Do mods choose or do the users? (that's just one thing we'd have to iron out though).

Not making a commitment to yes, we'll do this, but I'll definitely be glad to listen to discussion.

[Heroic Sociopath]

Actually, let's just do it ourselves. Don't take this the wrong way, but I doubt we need the help of mods for this. I'll just set up a thread in the Metronome Forum.
