True RPing is really long.

Forum RPing is really hard to do as well, because of time differences and when people log on. I mean i'm sure many people would want to RP together when everyone's online and such.

Take D&D, it takes hours on end just to get to level 2 lol. Plus, let's say you want to pokemon rp, how do you find out if someone misses or hits? (needs a dice in real RP games or a random number generator) Text RP games are usually hard to do without a roll function. Now, if there's a roll function for forums, that would help alot. (like /roll and the # appears in the upper left of the post or something and the post can't be edited.) but that won't happen lol.

plus the person in charge needs to know exactly how to be the "RP master" (DM in D&D) aka the guy who does the story and sets up the bad guys and such.

Besides, RP doesn't only mean "adventure" it means "Role-Playing" as in playing a role. Anything is possible really lol

yeah the forum isnt really well equipped enough for it
people keep doing things like writing like a playscript, or breaking the fourth wall, or not being online enough
Big RPs need a forum to do RPs in, not just a board in a forum which has other stuff keeping people occupied

XD Well there has to be an rp that people would enjoy all together and not leave. Have the dedication and willingness to write a whole paragraph and more for just one post.

yeah
when people post a small reply in an rp, a lot of the time, you have to post a small reply back cos there isnt much to reply too! oi vei Tongue
but yes, if an rp could be done so well, it would be so great
its why RPs with just 2 people go so well cos its monitored so well cos of just two people Tongue

no i was just saying, that when just two people RP together with noone else, its easier to handle cos there is less trouble like the trouble everyone has been talking about on this page xD
so yeah, getting a big proper rp is gonna be hard to do, cos of all teh people

Well, someone can try that.

The problem is that those private rps people will be picky on who to pick and if they dont get picked, the person will lose their interest in rping or such. Kind of a bad side.

Yeah, but you got to admit, there are some times where you can be on a forum RP for like an hour.  Like in the PWRPs.  We were active on that thing till like, 3 people went to sleep (There were four people in the RP XD).  Plus, this is a little off topic but I love your new Sig Aryeh XD!

thanks ^_^ I knew you'd like my sig
anywayzz.... Pokemon War is probably the best RP we have because it hasnt broken the fourth wall yet.  We need to have proper RPs (which will be hard to keep going), and we have to keep War RP as it's the only thing keeping the RP board alive atm
