I am just curious as to how you all feel about mass guided roleplays? I am thinking about adding a section for it, but I would like to know your opinions first, for it would require a lot of work. This is the style of roleplaying most boards have where the general, over-all theme and setting is selected for you.
The free RP would still remain as is.
So, what do you all think?

It would mainly depend on how it was run. For my opinion, I don't have a problem with them (and maybe I might FINALLY join a group, as I haven't really done yet, just haven't found an interesting enough one yet (no offense)

What would be an acceptable way of running it in your opinion? And also, what does an RP need to have in order to interest you? I really appreciate the input, btw.

Mass guided RPs are normally run from accepted profiles. Not a free for all who wants to jump in when ever. And they are planned more to the point of where they are heading to. So if you want to make another fourm or section I would say you need an 'accepted profile' section for it.
I personally do not have a problem at all with mass guided rps because those are normally what I am apart of haha.

So, blueroan, do you prefer massive guided roleplays over say what we offer here? I sense maybe a little dissatisfaction from your "free for all" comment, and that is the last thing I want.

Could've sworn I had posted it somewhere or had it in my YIM archives....
Anyway, the idea I had was of a race of anthros whose homeworld has been attacked by a race of lizard like ( think a combonation of ALIENS and gila monsters [hell idk exactly what they look like, I just thought that sounds cool]) who call them selves the Isbanni. Now the Isbanni are known to be ruthless, and have enslaved/destroyed otherwords in thier quest already, but thier attack on Arean has been stalled by the ones known as the guardians. Put simply, the six of these guardians have increadible abilities, and it is those that have stopped the Isbanni. What most of the Areans do not know is that the guardians are actually the members of the Arean defense force, specifically a spec ops unit, that was thrown back in time, centuries into Areans past. This will focus on that idea, of the mission that resulted in them going back, and how they became those famed "guardians"
That's a general gist of it. While I haven't worked out everything yet, that's the basic idea.

I like the idea of a mass guided roleplay  But I also love the free roleplay which is offered here - it gives the chance to be more creative and flexible, although it depends on my mood as to which I prefer overall. Steeljaw I think your idea is awesomee I could really enjoy a roleplay like that  |

Pretty much yes. The overall plot and major events and such HAVE been determined, however, going about getting there and what goes on inbetween is up to the individual rp'ers (least that's how the couple i've been in worked. anyway...)

Sounds good. I think we should have a separate part of the forum dedicated to that |
