Idea: The Kudos For Good RP Thread

[GhothaAyala]

Uh....do we really need more than one Kudos Thread?

That one is already closer to Flood than any thread outside of Flood.

I must have missed that thread, it is indeed overflowing and it is mainly just praising people. My idea includes that but is mainly about matchmaking, contact and awareness.

You could try making a thread where people share logs of RP they saw as fun, great or simply innovative. That'd be different enough in purpose from the kudos thread to work alright.

That is a better idea than mines, we could also add an impression of the character we RPed with, which might help others.

I.e.

Name: Ghotha Ayala
Occupation: Lawful Trader From Crete

[And here a tiny summary of the RP, no need for many details, the fact that it is features in the thread should be enough for people to get ideas.]

A few days ago, someone suggested making a new 'Kudos' forum where people could praise other people for good RP, keeping their cool in a frustrating situation, or whatever.

The already existing Kudos thread clearly states in the OP what it's original intentions was. If people wanna give kudos every damn time they've had some pewpew with somebody, then there should be a separate thread for that instead. Giving kudos as soon as there's been some pewpew is almost like giving kudos to someone for logging his char.

This is more about the RP than the pew, and more about the matchmaking than the Kudos. Someone suggested a good idea which changes the intent of this proposed thread, see next point.

I like OP's idea but this actually makes more sense. Call it the "Good RP Pastebin" or something, and link to Pastebin for people to upload logs.

I for one would be very interested in reading and contributing to a thread like that.

That would also be a fine addition to this idea, a place to find the in game interactions of players that we don't see on the forums. I know I had many adventures that no one will ever know about. A compendium of RP logs, summaries and screens.

Many people I have met but given the nature of the RP, we could not congratulate each other or exchange contact info to RP again some other time.

For example, tonight I was 'selling insurance' in New London when a Kusari Dessie showed up along with a Bretonian VHF and a Freelancer VHF. After minutes of bluffing, stalling and trying to talk out way out a K'Hara Cap appeared and that was our que to bail.

Until my mouse ran out of Batteries and I got summarily blown up. :/

I'd like to play with these good folk again, assuming I will ever find them. We usually exchange contact info with people we 'cooperated' with and make inRP friends. We also need antagonists and rivals, I think this is a more cordial way of doing that.

@Narcotic

You've pointed to a few resources/threads that partially include what I am looking for.

Just to recap, the goals in a vague hierarchy of importance are:

1. I'm looking for a way to contact players we RPed with.
   
2. Making people aware that good RPers are active and what they can provide, In terms of RP.
   
3. A compendium of in game RP logs and screens or at least brief summaries.
   
4. Pat the good RPers in the back.
   

Can you point me in the right direction for that?
