Board Thread:Suggestion Box/@comment-4199666-20140416064914

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the new roleplaying wiki that a bunch of users from here have been working on, you should probably have a look at how that works if some of this doesn't make sense to you.

Anyway, the point of this isn't to advertise that wiki, but it totally worked anyway. The point is, back when that wiki was being built up, a certain user said to me that she liked the idea of open roleplaying and wished we could implement that over here on Lumblr, and this is a suggestion to do that.

But how does it work?

You ask. Simple, really. It's really good for when you want to start a roleplay with your character but have no idea who you want to roleplay with. All you do is start a thread with your character doing something.

For example, ''//Juliette was wandering around the library, searching underneath a bunch of books to try and find her misplaced iPod. She eventually sees it, right between the feet of someone else in the library.//''

Then in the topics (which you should all know how to use by now. You're all big kids) you add your characters name, the location and then we make a separate board for Open Roleplaying, and you whack it on there.

Anyone with a character can then reply to that. Obviously, if you write a description of where they are, it makes it easier for someone else to reply. (I highly doubt it would be Lian in the Barfield High School library. etc.)  They add their character to the topics and then move the thread to the Roleplaying board.

Simple.

'''Well on the other wiki there's an Open Roleplays and a Closed Roleplays board. I like having it as the Roleplaying board.'''

That's not really a question, yet you ask it anyway.

That's the other wiki. On this one, we can leave the main roleplaying board as Board:Roleplaying, then just create a second board for open roleplaying. Pretty simple stuff.

Why does my cat look like it's trying to kill me?

You're on the wrong forum, but this might be helpful to you.

What if I don't want to use Open Roleplaying?

Well, as I say to anyone who is against gay marriage or abortion, "If you don't like it, don't do it. Don't stop other people." Simple as that.

Are you kinda forcing us to accept Open Roleplaying into our lives?

Um...idk. That last comment sounded a bit forceful.

Sorry.

What if two people try to reply at the same time?

Then that'll be fun for you guys to sort out. You're smart. I'm sure you can work something out.

Are there other uses for Open Roleplaying?

Well, I'm glad you asked. If you guys remember a while back, we had a Dmikat thread where the whole purpose was to have everyone interrupt them whenever they tried to get close to a bedroom at a party. If you don't remember, yeah, that happened. It was funny. Lexi threw up everywhere. The point is, if you have a thread where you want lots of people to interrupt, you know where people go to find threads they can interrupt?

The answer is Open Roleplaying board if you're wondering.

'''Well, I'm convinced. That's a great opinion you put forward. I support that.'''

Cool. Reply to the thread and say that you support it.

'''I was kidding. I hate this idea. I hate you. You're fat.'''

Harsh, but yeah. You should reply to the thread too. Maybe give a reason why too, so people can look at it and go "ahh, yes, that does make sense. I hate this idea too."

'''I think my ideas are way better than this. Why are you making this thread when my ideas for Open Roleplaying are better?'''

Well, take it away my friend. I'd love to hear your ideas.

I'm not your friend.

Take it away, my....person.

'''I'm a highly informed female canine. I take offense to your accusation that only humans can talk.'''

Whatever, bitch.

That's not an insult. I physically am a bitch.

Shut up. People are sick of watching me argue with myself in bold and unbolded font.

So yeah, let me know whatever you guys think.

I'm finishing this.

No you're not. lol.
