My god we need to fix our character sheets ASAP. Wall of text has absolutely nothing on the horror I witnessed going in there.

They are suppose to be doing something for the coding in a few weeks, so mostly hoping to hold out until that is done. If they don't do much... it just means I'll have to make brand new sheets completely to copy over the info for... hopefully with as much customization as BBC code allowed. ^^:;

I am not looking forward to that... At all. Nope, no sir-er mam-ee. I wonder if this is at all readable. o- o

If I copy the text I can read it but yeah hard to reach otherwise.
Really hoping they have a clean way of the code fix though... please... please do... I don't wanna have to redo all the code and all that, specially if its stuck with the functions it has now given how clunky they are. T.T

When your feeling it, feel free to post next day reactions. As before the update, your free to head straight to the meeting location, otherwise dabble around with someone else for a bit.
Honestly, given the new format you guys are free to have 1 on 1 interactions here (or more then that really) without interupting the general flow of the game which is a nice benefit so you can play out something that happened a little in the past before where the IC is taking place.

I have no clue how to do that honestly and plus, I don't think anybody would want to interact w/ Thadeus. I also have to figure out this damn site again. It was going good for four years and then this. =n =

Should be easy enough to just click to start new topic in the roleplay area of these forums. ^^ You don't need to of course, its just an option for anyone who wants to use it at any point. Site wise its not too far off from a regular forum, though the extra stuff on it can be a bit weird. I know code formatting wise its kidn of kerput. >.<
@LB58
Um... mind clearing up what you are trying to say there? ^^;; lol

Not permitted, must be enthused! ENTHUSED! I mean Icould start fresh here with it starting after and being a prequel (which it basically was ) but that would more so just be pretending its something new.

Alright... its been a bit to quiet. The site move i do know disrupted a lot of general play on the site, but the RP did seem to slow down quite a bit beforehand as well. Serious talk time, how is everyone feeling about the roleplay and direction? I'm looking for general feedback. I don't want to be the one using a bucket to try to stop a sinking ship when its not addressing the problem. Be up front and don't be afraid to criticize mio or the direction. I do still have interest in a bleach RP after all. ^^
I see a few potential options here and I want to get your input on it. If you like an option a lot just say so and a little input why If you don't mind (though just saying you like it is enough). Feel free to mix and match elements as well since i'm sure no single option is perfect.
Whew... sorry if that was a lot (if you look into each one more in depth. Again, I don't want to just drop the roleplay. There isn't really much as far as bleach roleplays go and i do think as far as a world concept goes its an interesting one that doesn't get explored enough. Any input can really contribute. In the end I am keeping the roleplay Detailed (which they should have as a prefix still *cough* rpnation *cough*) and will be trying to find that right mix that can help generate interest and allow for a thriving bleach RP kept open for anyone willing to throw a little effort in to join.

1.) Keep the Roleplay as is with the same Forum
Simply put, having the roleplay continue in its current form. Naturally this is what is happening now, although there is a lack of enthusiasm it seems with less then half the people actually posting. This would require you guys to start really posting things up though and helping to move it along. Of course, suggestions for this you think might help it move ahead can be applied here too. Do note I do still accept new people... although I haven't quite gotten around to the character sheets yet (seeing how everyone needs to adjust it and I was hoping more work would be done on the coding part to make nicely organized character sheets.
2.) Start fresh with a New Forum looking for new interest.
Pretty much the same idea as the first, however focused more on adapting to the new forum. I would keep the story as it is, although starting off with a new forum. It would require moving character sheets over to a new format (which probably will need to be done anyways) but I can touch things up and attempt to make things a little more formal.
3.) Adapt the story/lore to be more in line with the series while keeping 'character progression'.
Instead of adapting it into an Au, I would basically redo the roleplay being more based off the series. While I won't do a 1 for 1 copy of everything, it would follow the same general format. To be fair,my story was sort of vaguely following this line, though I did obviously mix my own story and try and pace it a bit differently. In this side I'd probably be more open with characters allowing non humans in. I would still be actively promoting the character growth in strength alongside the development of character. Players can play Shinigami or the various versions of enhanced humans (Fullbringer, Quincy, ect.) not needing to nessisarily be freshly established though still not being up to the strength of say captain level or what not.
4.) Shift events to after the End of the Bleach Series
With the Bleach Series being finally over, I could easily have the roleplay take place after the events of the series end. I would push it out some time after making nearly all cannon characters nonexistant (as I said, not a fan of using canon) although it could play off the story in bleach with what happened and even more directly tie into it. I'd likely be more open to people picking any sort of character so there wouldn't be a restriction on power (although I WILL not simply hand wave anything in and I will be more stingy on judging characters). This means Arrancar might be around form the start with other players and captain level players. Still, a 'fresh start' could very much be applied and as such if you like this option if you rather the focus on all relatively new start ups going out and making their place we can go down that route.
5.) Remain fully AU, but more open ended.
Basically, I'd turn the thread more open ended giving a general flow for things but allowing people to play whatever they want (in reason). I'd more so act as a guide and ensure nothing to crazy is happening and help to give direction. While characters can start pretty new in the fighting business, it likely would lean more to somewhat established characters. that said if the idea of the focus being on the 'little ones' comes off appealing this can easily be adapted to give that push with myself just acting to guide it along more keeping it open ended yet giving that story push to hopefully drive the party in the right direction.

Do you hear it? The screams of Gacha salt?
The issue is that people have pretty much jumped ship.
Don't matter if they are here in the ooc, if they ain't in the IC they jumped.
I've been here bridging on three years now, how many roleplays do you think I've joined? How many of those do you think are still running? How many of those got trashed because no one was god damn doing anything? How many of those people do you think gave the same excuses? How many times do you think I have heard "writer's block" or something of the sort.
I can count the people I'd trust to bring into into roleplay on my two hands, trust to bloody damn well stay and talk with others about the cool things they'd do and character interactions and stick around to bloody do them!
Everytime I see a thread I can now instantly, god damn instantly tell if it's gona flop. I've had my fair share of times that I simply didn't want to continue a roleplay, and I made it known, I bowed out, wished them luck, that's it.
Want to know why I made it known instead of disappearing? Because people will still be waiting on you, a lifeless character that's dragged around on a chain expected to do something. But it Isn't, and with that you bog down action, bowing out, giving the character to another or retconning it, don't let your discarded trash ruin somebody else's fun.
This rant has been building up for a year now, and I'm god damn fucking tired of seeing folk's ideas get squandered because somebody doesn't have the foresite to think ahead or see that they might not like the roleplay or perhaps simply they have something coming up that PREVENT'S them from continuing.
So many ideas, all left to the way side.
So many 2D characters plugged into an enviroment only to bog everything down...
I just want to roleplay, make a story with people, have fun.
But here I am, staring at my phone's screen, ranting and talking shit...
I'm gona go have a fucking shower.

Ah >.< Yeah... it can be frustrating for sure. Honestly I've pretty much been doing the roleplay thing for... well... probably nearing half of my entire life. Granted I was pretty young when I started it was something i've seen and i've had a lot of stuff fumble after so long.
It can be upsetting but in part I am less dragged down by it even if it does upset me still. Its probably why I am so stubborn to try and keep things moving. I know what its like which is why I try my best to overcome it. In the end I find people though even if something falls apart that show dedication and finding one person like that in a game that burns up to me is still a win at least... even more so when you get enough people you can keep a roleplay moving from the brink for several years.

So, lets make an interest check, fill the blank slots and lets keep moving.

I legitimately forget, myself. Idc if you believe me or not. I have ADHD and a very terrible memory. I've forgotten to reply to things I have tabs up for :/.
That said, I'd be interested in continuing. It would likely be best to use option 2 so we can get more players. I honestly sort of expected my own to die from the shift but it didn't, infact it gained players ._.
But, yeah. Option 2 would be best.
Unless I'm counted in Oriyanko's rant in which case just ignore me because apparently it's all excuses. *shrug*
