Idea: The Kudos For Good RP Thread

[GhothaAyala]

I've often found people that provide small snippets of good RP here and there but given the size of Sirius and the restrictions our chars have on movement I don't always run into them.

Sometimes our chars are simply on opposite sides and there is no good RP excuse for us to... Well... RP.

And even if we do match, maybe the heat of the moment or some other happenings make us forget to ask for forum info and the such for future RP.

So I wonder if a thread like this would be any sort of useful

• Give praises and kudos where kudos are due, just calling it how it is.
  
• Post the in game name of the person we played with in hopes that they will see it and get back at you, giving both the chance to keep in touch for more RP adventures.
  
• Give others a way to find possible good RP if you and the person you played with happen to be on oposite sides and can't really RP with each other.
  

Bad idea? Good Idea? Let me know.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I thought we have 'message dumps' for that?

considering the current kudos thread features a lot of pew kudos, perhaps separate them into two threads?
a pew kudos thread and an RP kudos thread.

PvP = RP.

Also, one is allowed to post pastebin links into the current kudos thread. One is also allowed to kudos people for the roleplay/pew only. I doubt that there's a need for more kudos threads. There also exist feedback threads by the way.

Everything the OP has mentioned makes perfect sense.
But yeah the current Kudos thread is the perfect place for it.

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.

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.]

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.

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?
