In regards to your first post, I am getting no problems: It could have been a temporary blip in either the server here or your internet connection. In terms of Places in your roleplay, I now see two; both with pictures attached to them. At least in terms of images within the roleplay system, it is a...

@Tea: The Roleplay Academy isn't for finding people to roleplay with. It's a place to hone your skills as a writer and roleplayer.

See, to me the solution is simple. You said you can roleplay in third person, right? If you see a roleplay you like, contact the GM and ask if posting in first-person is fine. If it is, win. If it isn't, just join and write in third person, you still win because you get to roleplay. Alternatively, m...

Honestly, to suggest that the roleplay system is the cause of apparent drops in the quality of roleplays here is hugely misguided at best. The site-wide general decrease in roleplay quality has been happening since way before the roleplay system was implemented or (quite possibly) considered. Marion...

Yes, unfortunately, the system relies on users tagging their roleplays correctly. However, this is both a blessing and a curse. As a blessing, it means the admins and coders can concentrate on more important things (and won't get bugged by the inevitable requests to add more and more 'general' tags)...

Subscriptions work just fine - the little tick you see at the top of every post is just the icon used on the board. Be sure to click the Subscribe link if you want to subscribe. Also, if you reply using the 'Post Reply' button rather than the quick box at the bottom of the page you can choose to be ...

@TornZero: We already have a filtering system in place. You can choose which tags to ignore, which will help reduce the number of roleplays displayed in a search to only those you might be interested in. You can also highlight certain tags. The tags become, like you said, 'options' to search for onl...

Well, if you're looking to brush up on your roleplaying skills, we have the Roleplay Academy forum where you can ask for specific guidance. The RPG Design forum also has some interesting discussions on GMing and RP creation that might be of use to you.

Lord Saladin

While we encourage advertisement of other roleplaying sites, the correct (and only) place to do so is in the RPG Directory. Please make your advertisements there.

Lord Saladin

I don't think there is a 'display name' as such, just your account name. Just PM one of the admins (Tiko or Jag) with your request and they will get 'round to changing your username for you.

(Note: Changing usernames also changes your log-in name)

Okay, so I was reminded of the million-post wooden spoon awards earlier today and I figured, hey, we could make this a regular thing. Yearly or twice-yearly, I figure. The Awards will take a slightly different format to what they did a couple of years ago. Instead of people nominating both the award...

Lord Saladin

I don't really believe in minimum word counts in roleplays. Ones ability to write a thousand words isn't indicative of being able to write well; I'm a firm believe of quality > quantity. However, I would say that three paragraphs is a reasonable guideline for forum roleplay. Why? So that a post can ...

Lord Saladin

WateryHeart, I think that before any useful help can be given, you need to clarify a little. Your topic says characterisation and then you say you want tips on writing action. Actions can be used for characterisation, but that doesn't necessarily mean the same as 'action'. If you can tell us exactly...

Lord Saladin

While we may well have made some astonishing cultural and technological advances in recent years, it is difficult to say that everything is a positive as a blanket statement. Rulke certainly has an argument that we seem to be heading towards some kind of dystopia. The specific points he made that I ...

Lord Saladin

Yeah, as TheFinalOne mentioned, the post limit for sending PMs is a mechanic put in place to avoid spam accounts (whether a real person or a bot) from filling up people's inboxes with spam. As such, it is far from ridiculous, and works a lot more effectively than things like captchas - it'd be more ...

Lord Saladin

I could help you get your writing back up to scratch. After all, it is what I do. :)

Lord Saladin

Unless email providers have added Gateway to their spam filters, that shouldn't make any difference. In terms of delays, the fact they are delayed but still arrives hints at a problem on this end. Changing email address also wouldn't prevent duplicate emails, as they are sent from here, not from our...

Lord Saladin

Hm. I have had issues lately with emails - most notable PM notifications... I received a PM the other day but didn't get the email through until much later, I then received a second email for the same PM the next morning. So there might be some errors in the system.

Lord Saladin

Hm. I wasn't going to comment on this thread, but I've changed my mind after deciding to read a couple of the blog posts linked to at the beginning of the thread. As such some of my points will address the things written in those posts. Firstly, I am both aware and acceptant of Autism, having a brot...

Lord Saladin

Hello there. Just as a quick tip for you, questions that you have about site features and functionality (such as adding co-GMs, font usage, etc) should be posted in the Help forum. The Roleplay Academy is specifically for questions related to roleplaying (ie, collaboratively writing a story). Cheers...
