Count me in. I may be working on my own RP but I think I can handle another one.
I can't respond to both you and Magus (damn iPad) but I would appreciate both of your help pm me whenever you can.

It would seem even the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1367306-the-editorial-initiative/ is more organised than us.

Coming up with a plot that will keep people interested. I have seen many rps where members just quit after two weeks.

Maybe not so much just creation, but keeping people interested past their OP's is a challenge.

EDIT: Basically what she said ^^^^

*Looks at Darkfall...* Checkmate
Anyway for those who don't know what Darkfall was it was an RP that fell apart (run my me...) before the RP even truly began

I remember it. The style of it was like A divided province but it took place in a crude version of Cyrodiil created by the Deadra.

Not really, I joined yours one month later, I just kind of stopped RPing for like two weeks (then I left Valton due to my just plain hatred of my character...)

Question for ya'll, out of curiosity. What was the most interesting, and entertaining RP you have ever been in, and why?

I miss the days when I was so inexperienced that I had no clue what to do and had no idea how to write a decent post that was longer then a sentence (haven't improved much since then) and was surrounded by people who were just as bad. Every crappy RP full of one-line posts was awesome back then, but I don't think I could ever go back to being that bad, because it would be impossible to enjoy writing that horribly and RPing alongside equally godawful people. All RPs then were tremendously entertaining because my standards were so low.

It's like being deflowered in a brothel in the bad part of town, and then trying something less seedy, and knowing you could never enjoy the brothel again, no matter how fondly you enjoyed it before.

The Mad University and The Imperial Order. Both of them died out because people gradually stopped posting. Made me a sad panda :(

I think it was called the Nine Fruits of Discord or something along those lines. It was pretty much an adventure roleplay bent around two Consuls, the North and the South. One was a veteran General who protected the people and was loyal to the council, while the other was a tyrant who crushed a small rebellion in Black Marsh by lacing arrows in Pyroil tar and creating permanent flames that ate the marshes of Argonia. It was so fun for me because I played the villainous consulate who attempted to kill the other one as well as the group he traveled with. So it was a memorable adventure roleplay that told the tale from those that traveled on the run with the good consul, and then told the tale from my point of view and my evil henchmen the Iron Fist (awesome boss type characters),

There was also a cannibalistic spellsword who was an absolute genius and the best villain I had ever seen roleplayed, we dubbed him the Butcher and man was he awesome. His dialogue was great. I believe the guy roleplayed him was named RIstaag. Another point of view interwoven with the events from the main story were those who were affected by the butcher and hunted him or fended him off, eventually tying in with the main story because the butcher ended up selling his services to the series main villain.

No idea why that one ended up dying out, it was truly a blast.

For me, it was a RP called The Expedition to Saarthal. I think it's the longest running non-IBT RP I've ever been in (Went from before Skyrim was announced to last March, and 5 threads, I believe). I made my favorite character ever in that RP, Cordus Leon. I think it worked because we had a good group of RPers who all got along, and thus our characters interacted well. I really learned how to RP well in that one, and I really do miss it, especially because the core group of people from that I don't really see around here anymore.

I also really enjoyed the character I made for the extremely short lived Aegis of Man Rp. The RP itself had potential, but I especially liked my character and hw the destiny I was given for her would affect her development. Essientally, the character was the only optimistic and Pollyanna-like character in it, but her desitiny would of had her been recaptured by the Ayleids (because the RP was about the fall of the Ayleids, and our characters were slaves) and get tortured and broken. I was really looking forward to that, but, alas, it was not to be.

My favorite was the Amulet of Daedra's Call. It was so spontaneous, and none of us knew what the hell we were doing.

heldwyn's Second Age RP who's name escapes me. It was either End of the Second Age or End of an Era but thinking about it, I'm pretty sure the latter was an entirely different RP altogether. Anyways, it was the only real military RP I've been in that did things well.

Verlox's The Expedition of Saarthal was one of favorite adventure RP's. evil_pigeon had a good island RP based off of creating your own little tribe, incorporating town-building and war-making with a neat system. And there was another island-based RP of survivors of a ship-wreck which was fun despite us spending a half-dozen threads just faffing about on the beach.
