I've heard back from one person, Raggedleaf, about the below story. I'm not even sure if any of you actually read my blogs... sometimes it just feels like I'm writing to no one, wasting my time, so it's good to know at least one of you does. But I digress. Well, Ragged said that she agrees with what I said; my RPs are really in need of more freedom. She mentioned that that's why Tess is off doing her own thing. I know I've never specifically stated it, but that's completely fine with me if you want to do something like that, as long as you don't actually get in the way of anything that I have planned. But that isn't the point. My roleplays need more freedom, and something has to be done about that. But what is there to do? I really couldn't make BV a free for all RP all of the sudden... that would sort of defeat its purpose. But if I closed it entirely, everyone would probably unhappy, including myself. I think the plot I planned for it has some potential, and it shouldn't remain unshared. But if I did nothing about it, everyone would still have to suffer under 'my rule'. So it looks like the only two options for BV are to leave it be (but I don't want to have to put you guys through all of the suffering) or to close it (but then no one would get to hear about my plot). Wait... didn't I just say that? Gah, sorry, I'm tired >.> Getting back on task... I need opinions. If BV is put to an end, I do have an idea for a free for all RP. But what's the sense of having a plot for a free for all RP? If there was a plot, then everyone would have to monotonously follow it. But if there is no plot, the RP usually tends to lack organization, and ultimately dies. And RPs without plots are typically n00b infested. However, APR, which had no real plot, was very successful and lasted quite a long time. It did attract quite a few n00bs *cough cough* Fish-n00b *cough*, but otherwise, it was all good.
I believe I posted this once before, but it never received any feedback. My idea for a free for all RP would consist of two Explorers of So-and-so style guilds; one would be similar to Wigglytuff's, the other made up entirely out of thieves. The two guilds would fight constantly, as well as accomplishing various tasks (thought up by me as well as other RPers) within their own guild. I'm not sure exactly how it would work out, but it's worth a try, no? I want to restore the glory of APR to the forums... I'm not sure if these guilds would be able to accomplish just that. I can easily see the guilds falling under my wrath like BV and TNG. I'd also need someone other than myself to run one of the guilds; most likely the regular one. Methinks things would get a bit chaotic if I had to lead both, especially with the way I run things... Or perhaps I could have two other people leading each of the RPs. All of our major RPs after APR have been ruled by me... I don't think that's fair to you guys. Scratch that... instead of having you run the RPs I thought up, perhaps you could create AND lead your own RPs? Now, I don't know if you have any ideas, but... I really think you should step up. I feel like an evil queen inflicting her wrath upon a monarchy of RPs... Well, not really, but ya get the point.
