RPG Forum Brainstorm Session

[Moogles]

Well, here's the thing. To my knowledge there have been two completed RPGs (that I'm aware about). It's sort of silly to make a sub section that isn't going to be used very often. You've sort of already laid out your answer. RPGs do take much more work to complete and there's a lot of factors going into that, the most obvious being that it's a group activity which means that when one person leaves it could have a potentially crippling affect on the RPG itself. It's a lot more practical and used for fanfics because they get completed a lot more. Also this idea has probably been suggested enough times and the answer has always been no.

Could I make a suggestion? A nice little points system. Each completed RP will be rated (by a mod or RPing "veteran"). Each person will then be rated individually and whatever their score is, that is the number of points they get. I'm still trying to think of the benefits you'd get to be high-level RPer. Maybe it could help with Kamotz' problem about Newbies. You would need more points to enter RPs that would be designated "complicated".

It would give Newbies the ability to slowly improve their RPing skills.

Just a thought.

By the way, this idea stems from an RPing forum on Gts+ forums. It's on a similar plane to Fizzy Bubbles, I do believe. Each person has their trainer and you level up your Pokemon using your mark. I thought a similar system here might help.

in other forums you aren't a mod... SO A MOD OF ONE FORUM IS A NORMAL MEMBER IN ALL THE OTHERS! XD!
(i know that doesn't mean you can be nice to them when they are in the forum they are a mod in but be an a** to them in all the others (I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT A STUPID IDIOT *****! ))

You know what I think would be a good idea is to have a "Completed RPGs" section. Basically when a RPG reaches it's end (I mean it doesn't die out but actually finish), the owner of the RPG can ask a mod to close thier RPG and lock it in the Completed RPGs section. I can see two very beneficial things from this:

1. If the owner makes a sequel or a related RPG, having this would make finding the older RPG much easier, if necessary.

2. It'd be a great place to look at older RPGs and use some ideas to make your own RPG. Of course, as long as it isn't blatant plagerism.

It also will also probably never get cluttered, since most RPGs don't actually make it to the end.
So, what do you guys think?

I think that's a good idea. It's helpful for the role plays that do finish, and it can give someone a good story to be read when they're boredd.

How about this: Team Plasma has achieved their goal, and common, ordinary people are no longer allowed to train Pokemon. The government itself controls all the tamed Pokemon. Then the Pokemon Rangers use wild Pokemon to overthrow Plasma. It's a light summary, but we can go more in-depth if anyone wants to do it.
