Thread: Please can we get some sort of system for TYPE of RP?

HeyThereLittleBear said You can lead horses to water but you can't make them drink. No, people are not considerate to others as a whole and when in the role-play world, specifically in the sexual role-play world, are looking for as little hassle as possible. The point of the request thread is to put what you're looking for and if someone can't even put the effort forth into putting pertinent information into the thread, it is not the staff's responsibility to force him to put it. At the end of the day, if there was a possibility of adding more things to the profile such as what you're asking for, I'm sure the staff would have said something about it by now to you. Since they haven't, it's safe to assume it's something that they either cannot do, or have discussed and decided against for whatever reason. This site -- or any site -- will never be perfect for everyone. There will always be issues or things that someone is unhappy with. It is up to you to make the best of it and take the suggestions you've been given to optimize your own experience. Click to expand... Nowhere at any point did I say anything about forcing people to do anything. I said putting this in the welcome threads and promoting it, would encourage its use which it would. No, not all people are selfish and even in so much as they are - being clearer about what they want IS in their self-interest. It is very tiresome to PM six or seven people because you don't know if they play in first person or third and have to ask. This would make the site better for all users and is minimal effort to try. Instead, I see a series of replies saying don't try.

Oh, like this document that is being given to every newbie when they start? This document already details out the best way to create a request thread and the document was formulated by the staff members who worked hard to make sure it had everything a newbie could need. So what you're suggesting is already in place, so honestly there is nothing more that a staff member could do to make people do this. I understand that you're frustrated by it, and I get the irritation, but frankly what is being said is not don't try. What is being said by the staff, who work extremely hard to make sure this site runs smoothly, is that they have already done everything they can short of forcing people. So you aren't outright saying it. But you are. All you're doing now is being rude and combative against the reasonable suggestions that have been given to you.

Thread: Please can we get some sort of system for TYPE of RP?

BMR does not force any member to adhere to a certain template when creating their Request Threads. Some people write in 1st 3rd, some write in only one or the other. Some people play Male, Female or Trans only, while others will play all of the above. It is nice to have an informative title and equally as nice to have an informative intro, but each RT belongs to the OP. They own it and are free to craft it however they see fit. Some of the things that matter to you simply don't matter to other writers, so they don't list it. It isn't meant to be a slight to you in any way, but it just doesn't factor to them. We've placed threads out there to offer suggestions, but at the end of the day, your RT is yours. All I can suggest is if you are uncertain about a potential partner's writing style, either check their posting history to see if they have an RP thread viewable to the public -or- message them with a cookie cutter, I'm potentially interested in writing with you. Do you write in 1st 2nd or 3rd person? Do you RP over thread or PM? Do you... and list out the things that you want to know that they have left out before moving forward.
Thread: Please can we get some sort of system for TYPE of RP?

I do care for the posting system and the style of writing as my thread states among other things. Does that mean that everyone should care? No. Does that mean that everyone should format their RT same as I do? No. What's important in a game for some of us is of no consequence for others. Yes, we do like having nice RTs, as nice RTs help finding nice partners and having nice games. But the shape or form of the request thread besides being something intimately personal it's just a manifestation of the main ingredient needed for a successful game Communication. And even if some tags could help I won't even slide down the slippery slope on how many tags my threads should have to be faithful to their content in the end it's a remember personal introduction so people can have a nice first impression. That's not little, but it's nowhere near the last step. You overestimate the usefulness of a cold and barely descriptive system that leaves other things to the side, like past or present tense, for example above putting just some care and effort in both reading and making request threads and having a healthy OOC communication. No amount of tags are going to replace or ease the need for that.

No amount of tags are going to replace or ease the need for that. Click to expand... Nothing I've suggested makes a thread cold. Nothing I've suggested means anyone would remove anything they're currently putting. As to leaving other things to the side, I've focused on the three common and divisive play style issues. I've not noticed past present coming up as a common issue. FP almost always correlates with present tense and TP less strongly but typically correlates with past tense. It's counter-productive to try and list everything. Hence, the three. As to overestimating I don't think you're in a position to know that. Even a partial take-up of the standard would allow us to rapidly pick out threads that we are a match for and avoid PMing people we are no. You can talk about care and effort in reading threads but feel free to browse through the forty something on the first page right now. You will find that almost none of them are clear on all three categories and the only thing that might manage around 50 is rt PbP which you can somewhat infer by people talking about posting frequency. So no, care and effort in reading threads cannot produce information which is not there. A few lines in the welcome thread and a little promotion could solve this.
Thread: Please can we get some sort of system for TYPE of RP?

That certain things are a hard noyes straight out from the request thread title it's your take on it. Maybe certain tags would help you have to put less effort in separating what you are interested into, but wouldn't help others. I may play on 3rd person, past tense in threads, but if I see something interesting enough on a thread on other aspects I may go against one or several of those personal preferences of mine. I have done it in the past and will certainly do it in the future for sure, that's why I have remember once more, despite wanting to intrude on it, completely personal request threads that reflect my tastes and anyone can check, even when it's me the one that reaches them after seeing their request thread. I insist, no matter how much do you pretend that certain characteristics you care about in games and that are absent from many people's request threads are universally and objectively important. Request threads are for the umpteenth time personal, so each one reflects their owner and can be reached for a first impression. If you want to expedite finding partners, perhaps you should put some work on a request thread of your own. That doesn't mean that you must, of course. Since it's a personal choice.

They are certainly hard noyes for some people. And it's overwhelmingly unlikely that I am the one person on these forums that has such preferences. I picked these out because they seem to be common dividers. And again, this odd notion that putting them up there has to introduce force or prevent people making choices. If, as in your example, someone wants to say I'm okay playing by post because I really like this idea, then they can do that. The only difference between having the three letters PbP in the thread title is that they can make that decision up front, rather than have to find out it's required after starting to work out the details. There's no restriction, only clearer communication of desires. Which is what a Request Thread should be about.
Thread: Please can we get some sort of system for TYPE of RP?

There certainly seems to be some kind of miscommunication in here since the point doesn't seem to get across. Any information on a thread title can both bring attention to the thread but also send people away. For every piece of information about your game put there that brings someone to the thread, you also are as well scaring away people uninterested. That's why every person has different priorities for Request Threads, be it the visual appeal, the information therein, etc. Forcing people to put in the title something they don't care about and could hinder their games is counter intuitive. If you pretend that such people won't lose possible partners because interested ones will read the thread despite the title, then your proposed intrusion in the titling policies makes even less sense. And since each person cares for different things in different degrees, forcing such a policy for everyone would be negative. Also, you somehow seem to have a quite clear idea about what a Request Thread should have for being someone without one. I hope that it's clear this time that RTs are PERSONAL and that a selfish measure such as yours wouldn't come without a cost for others.

If they're uninterested, then they're not being scared away. They're making an informed choice. Something they can't do without the information. With the information they're still free to contact or not as they wish. You're arguing against a request thread having information about what people want at this point. On a related note, can we also get Discord names added to the profile page? I suggested this earlier and it seems to have been ignored. There are sections for YIM and AIM but not Discord. YIM went to crap some time ago and AIM doesn't even exist anymore. AOL discontinued it last year.

At this point, as Prose mentioned that things were going in circles and that they continue to do so, I'm officially closing this thread. If you want to raise a point about discord and an option being added to user's profiles, please make a separate thread concerning this issue as it's separate from the one you initially introduced. Thank you.
Thread: The Stars Do Not Dream of You (Alvis & AlluringEnigma)

Alexia Novan loved her work. It was hard. It was fulfilling. It was merciless. There was no room for error. Nova lived and died by all of that. She loved competition, she loved pressure, and she thrived in adverse conditions. She had risen through the Federation ranks with ease, and now she was one of the higher captains in their system. Which is why she had been given the job she was currently on. A space pirate captain named Kale had been terrorizing Federation space for years, and he had worn out his welcome. That said, he was a smart little bastard, and made sure to avoid direct confrontations. He didn't parade through space inviting trouble like most of his idiot peers. Instead, he laid in ambush, picking off ships quietly. Which is why Alexia was now on board a Federation science vessel. The ship itself was poorly equipped for space combat, but that wasn't what Kale would engage in anyway. He had to board his victims, lest he waste a good bit of valuable plunder. What Kale didn't know, however, was how well equipped the ship was internally. There were actually about 32 marines on board, and more than 10 well-equipped security drones for Kale to deal with. The pirate captain was in for a surprise. Captain Alexia Novan smiled wickedly as his voice crackled over the intercoms. She had him right where she wanted him. She picked up her own speaker and began to retort. Oh, but you see, Captain Kale, you've wandered right into the Federation's trap. It was too late for him to disengage. The ships were locked together, and Alexia had made sure to equip the vessel with a mechanism that made forceful disengaging a time-consuming process. Kale would have to fight his way out to escape her. You see, this isn't a research vessel. This is a hunting vehicle, one with the sole purpose of killing you. I bet you walked in here expecting maybe a dozen marines and a bunch of helpless scientists. You poor man. I hope there's enough left of your body to show to my superiors she mused, as she lay the intercom down. Her men were positioned perfectly. About half of them were lined up in the hallway leading to the engineering room, in heavy cover no less, waiting expectantly for the Pirate Captain. Alexia smiled as she heard gunfire break loose.
Thread: The Stars Do Not Dream of You (Alvis & AlluringEnigma)

Captain Alexia banged her fist against the console, frustrated as she watched her men get eaten alive by the mutated and modified dogs. Fucking bastard. I'll personally tear you limb from limb when I get ahold of you. There will be no court date. Just a room with you tied to a chair and me with a pair of pliers. Alexia growled and cut her voice from the comm link, returning to the situation at hand. They had breached engineering with the fiendish beasts. Her marines had managed to kill a few of the pack, but half of them still remained, as well as Kale and his escort. Anyone still alive, fall back to the third line. She hadn't expected the hybrids or would have started her defenses at the third line. Instead, she now was down to about a dozen marines and a handful of automated defenses. That said, she still had a couple tricks up her sleeve. Is everyone at the third line? Yes Captain. came the reply over comms. Activate the gas she ordered grimly. Suddenly, the whole of engineering was engulfed in toxic gases gathered from their voyages. It was a little trick the Federation had discovered when dealing with borders, and it would help even the odds for Alexia once more. She watched with a grin as the remaining mastiffs began choking for air, scurrying around the room like massive insects about to be crushed. The whole ship moved downwards when they finally collapsed. Unfortunately, due to Kale's power armor, neither he nor his other men in power armor were affected. That said, she had certainly given her marines a much better chance of holding. The third line itself was much stronger than any of the other choke points of the ship. It wasn't her last resort, but it was her strongest. It was a long and narrow, fortified hallway that led to the bridge designed specifically to deal with boarders. Tow machine turrets flanked either side, and heavy fortification decorated the room. Kale would need one hell of a trick to bust through it, even if he was in powered armor. She returned to the comm links. What's taking so long? I was expecting you'd be here by now. Did your poor little hounds get all tuckered out? I'd tell you there's no shame in turning back, but I'd be lying if I said you'd leave this alive. Lay down your weapons now and I'll kill you quickly. Otherwise, I'll make you pay personally for each and every one of my men. The fortified corridor lay silent as the comm went dead. It was Kale's move, so to speak.
Thread: The Stars Do Not Dream of You (Alvis & AlluringEnigma)

The bridge of the starship was alight with panic and distress. Red lights danced across the metallic exterior as the anteroom to the Bridge was breached and neutralized. The squad leader of her marines radioed over to describe the situation for the anxious captain. Alexia tapped her foot anxiously as she heard the news, the sound of gunfire and chaos pouring over the frequency. Captain! He's taken out the first turret! We're sitting ducks in zero gravity! The second turret is down! They're coming in! Captain! Oh f-! The transmission cut out suddenly and Alexia paced the bridge in a panic. This couldn't be happening. She had planned for him so carefully. She had neutralized his expensive mutants. She had nearly 50 well-trained and well-armed Federation marines. And yet a simple pirate had made his way to the Bridge in what felt like no time at all. Alexia steeled herself. She sure as heck wasn't going down without kicking and screaming all the way to hell. She started barking orders around the Bridge. Turn the tables over! Everyone with a firearm get behind them. Everyone else get the fuck out of the way. I want everyone here to hold their fire until you can see them fully. We're not going to lie down for these pirate bastards. Alexia crouched beneath the table and waited with bated breath as the ringing sound of the door being rammed resonated throughout the ship. DING DING DING Then, the door caved in without warning and the remaining pirates flooded in. OPEN FIRE! she shouted at the top of her lungs, a barrage of small arms fire hailing down on the pirates. The first few into the bridge collapsed as their armor failed and their wounds became too many, but there were simply too many pirates and the Bridge Crew was not particularly well-armed. Alexia continued her assault as her friends were picked off one by one - until she remained alone. The young star fleet captain did her best to fend off her attackers, but there were too many angles for one person to cover, and one managed to flank his way around and sneak up on her. Without warning, he punched her in the back of the head. Alexia went flying in one direction - her gun the other. Her head swam for a few moments, until she slowly started to stand up, her dazed vision making her movements slow and predictable. Before she could stand, however, she felt the a boot dig into her back, pushing her stomach flat against the deck. The battle was over. She had lost.

I'll play whatever character is required to flesh out the group. A sniper, medic, officer, CQC expert, etc. Also, when it comes to smut v. story, I like a hell of a lot of smut. Over 60-70 in relation to story. My scenarios will typically involve something to get the players either close to one another or riled up.
