What's wrong, RD? Having trouble enforcing your own rules? =P

-Ri

Not my rules! Blame Morph for that! XP

But yes, they make nothing but Naruto characters. Sure, some of our members make characters from other animes and what-not, but due to the nature their just replicas, not the real thing, and it's not that bad.

But those two just keep making Naruto, and it makes me gag.

A piece of advice; unless something is listed fully in the rules, you won't have much luck enforcing it. Also... sad to say, but you can't be afraid to decline character sheets. If you want to run something well, you've gotta be a little picky.

Also, I went up to take a look at your forum, and it seems a bit disorganized to me. Your rules on character creation are scattered about in different topics, and there were some things, such as the character classes mentioned on one topic, that I never found a full listing of at all. You need to make things clean and clearcut and easy to find. It's honestly hard enough to get people to read the rules- heck, some of my members are too lazy to even read both the rules and the front page news- that it's unlikely that most people will actually hunt for things. Since yours appears to be both a forum and an RP board, I would recommend having one rule posting dedicated to the forum rules, and one for anything to do with the RP, including rules on character creation and RP posting and such.

Well, let's just hope the new restrictions work, I've already sent a PM to the others concerning what we're to do with our narutards...

Here's some examples of stupidity:

If you don't want to approve it, than don't approve it, lol. Also, if you have trouble with someone making too many similar characters then make it clear in the rules that if they're going to have more than one character, then they have to be diverse in both ability and personality.

*bows to Sensei Ri's wisdom*

lol, Mega X, you're making me really miss doing tabletop RPG's now, since that sounds so much like the stuff I used to play... lol.

Anyway, yeah, on my forum, I don't have a limit to the amount of characters people play provided they're all individuals and not clones of each other. I myself play seven; Rioni, Harpuia, Jonathan, Kine, Matutinus, Menolly, and Dragon. It's pretty easy to judge by their character sheets how different they are, up on the site. The idea is for people to really be able to get into the plot without centering too much on any one thing, like combat, or romance, and if having several characters helps to further that plot, that's fine. But I'm a little elitist, too... It seems to turn down more applications than not lately. Way I figure, it's more important for the members who are there and following the rules to keep having fun, even if there's not a lot of members, total.

Dranzer, I thought you've learned better from me. Smack them around a bit, deny them their bright orange ninja gear and gaudy metal bandanas.

...isn't that a Megaman RP anyway? Or..what?

So... it's basically a .Hack ripoff?

-Ri

Man...and here I thought our idea was original, eh?

Oh well, and for those who complain about seven year olds and rpers and such. I feel bad for you. Having to experience things such as that can be a bit...gruesome. But as Rioni said, have rules and find the right people. The right people being smart for one.

Smart don't mean jack.

They also have to not be stubborn jackasses that are serious about everything and fly off the handle at the tiniest miscalculation.

..yeah, I've only had bad experiences. Har har.

Well, Flare, since I see you checked out my site, I'll have to check out yours. =P I just hope I can figure out what to read in what order. XD I have this habit of closing topics that are officially over on my site so no one makes the mistake of posting on an event that's officially moved on, lol.

So yeah, I've never been a huge Battlenetwork fan, but if I don't have to really know what's happened in the shows, and just know the idea behind it (I did watch part of the first season) then maybe I'll give it a shot. ^^

Edit: Yo, Flare, it says I can't sign up right now. =P Also, you should try making your rules open to the public to read, rather than forcing people to sign up to read them, lol

Ah, I get it now. Yeah, I can understand that. On my board (but you know this since you signed up there, lol) registration IS the character sheet, and you don't get the account until I hit that nice little "approve" button. :3 It's handy. But then, there's other things about the site that I don't like as much, like I can't customize and use images or skins unless I pay for the domain. =/ Poop on that. You guys will just have to suffice with boring old colors.

Hmm... I'm coming in a lil late here but oh well. I'm currently at a Zelda RPG, Halo RPG, and Project Epsilon. I have been in a Naruto and a Harry Potter based one as well. And also a real life RPG.. that one was interesting.

The only Rpg based i been in was a FF one. It was fun,but after a while, the topic would shut down after 10-30 posts. The only topic that stayed was a bar based one. I got "imported", so i dont go on it anymore. I dont even know what it means by imported anyway....
