Whatever happened to the days of random storylines being woven out of nothing? For those of you who remember AM and our "Fighter's Corner", these spontaneous RPs were crucial to our activity. The Kakera Sisters, The Ultimates, Remy's Bar - all of these are memories we've held dear for quite some time. I say that it is time we forge new and equivalently memorable stories, bring back the age of unscripted (for the most part) roleplay. Let's stir up this stagnant beehive that is our chat, show these IRC kids what it's all about.

And yes, I'm fully aware of most of our changed interests and busy schedules. If you stay with me until the end, we can get the ball rolling with only minor sacrifices, and start something that we can be proud of - as I'm sure it'll snowball once people see how it's done.

I attempted to start something like this called Justicating Light with Arcus, but Kyoshiro barrelled through, and I had to stop him afterwards to try and save the momentum. Unfortunately, it looks like it stopped dead in the water, as Kyoshiro hasn't carried it on. We'll need to come up with some fairly original ideas to get people interested and not so hell-bent on fighting and killing anything that's unique to them.

Who's with me?

Well, roleplay isn't DEAD, it's just way overscripted, and only happens when sanctioned, in certain rooms, on certain forums, and isn't quite the way it should be. I suppose I'm trying to bring back the spontanaeity of it all, rather than bolstering the roleplay community. We already have a good community, both here on the forums and in the chat. Unfortunately, the chat RP happens at very random times with four or maybe five people, and then nobody hears about it. Each is often tied to a specific storyline - nothing against that - and requires that certain people be present, etc. I'd love for a summary of what happens in these RPs to be posted here on the forums, so people who have conflicting schedules can enjoy them as well, and perhaps have more of a chance of participating.

Absolutely. And hey, it's up to you guys now to continue the action, as Arcus is dead, and as per usual, Master is apathetic.

Everyone - please, feel free to go into chat, stir up some dust and contribute to the storyline, then go to that topic to post the advancement.

I agree with Juno, for sure.

Let's take an active interest in what newcomers do. Go out of our way to nurture them.
