Suggestion: New Subforum - Acolyte - 04-29-2014
Hello!
After pondering my own crisis in roleplay (in the midst of finals; probably not the best time), I came to what I thought could be a conclusion if anyone would like to chip in here.
So I'm sure we've all experienced it before: you have an awesome RP idea, but you don't really know anybody who would fit the job. You've already talked to all your friends on Skype about how pumped you are, but the downside is that they have all the spoilers so - what fun would that be? Or there are those folks who you know would powerplay and say, "AND THEN I HAVE AN ATOM BOMB!" and you're left flat out of luck.
Well!
What if we made a sub-forum for people seeking 'teammates' for different scenarios. This thought was prompted by this thread which, in reading, I thought "Man, that's nifty, he has somebody he can do this with. They could probably write an awesome story." I then reflected on my own lack of friends who still remain at Disco and realized that I was at a loss for any such cooperative roleplay.
So basically, could we make a subforum for roleplay classified ads? People who post could give a very brief synopsis of the circumstances, and if anybody has a character that would be appropriate, they could post in response. Then they'd start a comm thread/story thread/whichever would work best. I think this would increase forum roleplay cooperation where it currently does not exist between different parties (i.e. somebody who mainly plays a Hessian and somebody who mainly plays KNF) and, thereby, increase server roleplay by allowing interaction/events/etc. between the two people that started the forum roleplay.
That sort of thing.
Just a thought. What are yours?

How I find interactions:
1. Log into the server, launch character, roleplay with people.

I mean for grander narratives than the chatbox's two and a half lines can get you.

Is not that simple if when you can log there are only 15 random traders avoiding everything that moves. See this last report? http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=96975&page=3
I did it because I was tired of have nothing to do. I could create a pirate an start hunting this traders yeah but seriously, hunting someone for half hour for 2 min of bad roleplay? Already try it. There is more fun playing minesweeper.
