You guys need to lay off the RP's. Seriously.

There's too many of these things.

I have to agree with him Wooly, especially since you were one of those advocating a "better RP'ing time" ;)

More RP's can only hurt if those going off to create them stop posting in the RP's they were already in. Sometimes you just gotta let the nestling leave home and fly to their own paths... Or something like that.

I agree. You should shut yours down.

huh. Now i'm considering playing a Psijjic or some old elf guy who knows all that lore and DOES talk about Vehk-ships and C0DA in the next RPG i'm in.

Well then, perhaps you should me a pm my friend. The IB timeline is working hard to make our next roleplay a smash hit masterpiece at the box office that outsells Harry potter. I've seen a Psijicc done as an advisor in a timeline rp, and my character being a King, could use some of that cryptic wisdom and power.

Also, to any wishing to join a roleplay dedicated to the lore of TES while also expanding on whats simply not said than please do check the timeline, send me a pm or Immortalblood and we'd be glad to have you. Rather than force the character you want into a role made just for the rp, please feel free to make the concept you wish to rp and we'd form the story to cater to the specific individual,

Im glad theres more RP's out again. i have been in hibernation on these forums waiting for the time the winter of nothingness to end and bring back the Rping community i have missed to much :dance:

I agree that multiple Rps in such a small community can affect other ones already in motion, but wouldn't we want those who are new to be able to improve themselves? Remember a few years ago when these forums were mainly RPs? we saw quite a few promising storywriters and Rpers appear because someone took a chance to make their own, there were so many good ideas from that time EoaE started small and went on for quite some time, and the immortalblood timeline wont be forgotten for quite a while (hell i dont think its going to die). There were quite a few more great ones but i just cant think of them right now. (if someone could refresh my memory that would be great)

Sometimes a good idea from a new RPer can manifest itself into something so interesting and different that it takes a life of its own, and I hope to see one such RP appear this year as well. So i guess what im trying to say is dont be afraid to bring an idea to the surface, but if you are in an RP as well dont abandon it because you want your own, because sometimes that can kill both.

Speaking of RPs.. if i ever find the one i started creating on my computer and polish it off i may bring one out by the end of the year if the community continues to regrow as it has been of late.

I completely disagree about there being "Too many RP's". Roleplays that don't succeed is practice. If people don't get practice, experimenting with different types of roleplay, different characters, etc. How are we to develop? In the 5 years (I think) I've been roleplaying, I've only ever finished 2 Rps. And trust me, back in the day I used to be in 10+ so the chances for success were pretty high.

People should create roleplays because they want to experience what it is like to lead a roleplay. It's completely different from joining one and the very act of leading helps you appreciate it when someone else is leading.

Perhaps this will lead to people leaving, but no one is under contract to finish your RP, nor are we to put them at gun point and control their actions through the forums. But as far as I'm concerned the vast majority of RP's never make it through their first 3 weeks, at which time, those that left - Will probably join again.

Continue posting your RP's, they're creative and it's what this board is all about. The idea that you cannot do something because well.. The people that have been here slightly longer than you said so is very, very stupid. (That was my problem with IN's guide) Post them, if people like them they'll join. If people prefer their RP's over yours, they'll join. If you're disapointed, you'll just have to get over it. =/

Any ideas for a good RP now? I was hoping for that "Life in Tamriel" story to go into a necromancer plot. But sadly, we all know what happened. No one ever Rped in Valenwood right? I mean from the time that I was here, I saw no one RP there. I would love to use my long haired-native indian/tarzan/barbarian/former slave dude in one of those.

Check out Golden Dawn i honestly feel it has great potential. Also we are going to need loads of help as far as lore goes and critics are ok too! The Dwemer are making an appearance and im sure many people will want to be involved.

Thats more or less the point i wanted to get across, but it went off in a weird tangent xD.

I remember the first Role Play i ever created on these boards. Yes my first character was some uber assassin/warrior/demon possessed thing, yet the Rp went on for ra long time because of the way the community reacted to a new idea. Many from that one over 5 years ago had let me meet new pwople who were new also and i have been Rping with them since (right Uglius? :P)

We all were green to these forums at one point or another so by all means the more practise for the new guys the better. Because for ever 5 or so RPs that die, there will be one that will be around for a long time (or never actually stop), and even if they do the people you meet along the way can allow you to build a solid rping base that will increase the chances of success

I understand that, lore wise, the Dwemeri disappearance is never fully explained, but it's almost certain they weren't trapped in realm. First of all, Yagrum definatley would have been snagged from whatever 'outer realm' he was visiting and brought into Azura's realm. Further, If Azura trapped them for trying to empower a god with Shor's spirit, why didn't she do something much worse (besides make their skin darker) to the Dunmer, who actually did make four (the tribunal and Dagoth Ur) Gods out of his power.

And don't say it's because these were Gods capable of sticking Muatra in her mouth in public at Hogithum Hall; I'm sure that all the non-godly dunmer could have been taken.



I personally subscribe to the theory that the dwemer became the material Numidium was made out of. It goes with my theory on the walking ways that number (i forget which one) is when a lot of souls combine into a larger soul, and thus the larger soul is a god as it is of a higher subgradient than just a single soul. They left Yagrum because, being a tonal architect, he should have know how to turn Numidium on

i could argue your point all day about this but this is the story we are going with as it is a RP and they could have been trapped in Azuras realm wether she put them there or their own tampering with the heart. i personally like this theory the most. I say this with the utmost respect. Also as far as being an Interesting RP i think it works better

its possible that what you say is true, but no one knows, so its fun to speculate about it. This is a "oh! what if this happened? sounds fun to play out in an RP." and thats what we did. We are not doing this for lore's sake

but we are going to work with lore though lol. the dwemer are not going to sprout wings and becoming besties with dragons lol. as for the dwemer's coming back well that is my favorite theory and most likely the best theory for a RP it is in the lore as a possibility so we are following it as closely as we can but with just enough wiggle room to through a lil flare into it to make it fun! :intergalactic:
