      What you're doing in my opinion, is saying that a character isn't a character unless it has a bio. Any time a person plays as someone else that isn't them is what I call "in character" yes using a bio would be in character but using a name that isn't your's and a personality that isn't your's is "in character" as well. Tavern Style rp is where you are yourself and you just talk stuff like.

      Hey what's up?

      *Walks into the Tavern*
      Where the person refers to himself as "I" and "me"

      What in character rp is, is something like this.

      *Sado walks into the building, he brushes his hair to the side and then looks on towards the other people.*

      Sado: Hey guys
      Where the person refers to himself as "he" and by name.

      Then, at the very least, a sub-forum connected to the Ninja World RP should be created. I can't do dialogue-based RP in a battle forum. Why? Because it's made for battle RP.

      Konoha Town is as Zero Kelvin put it the Goldshire of Narutobase. It's the beginning, when someone starts out they need a place to get used to something in WoW on the ally side this is Goldshire the first town you come to where you learn everything that starts you off. That's what Konoha Town was, it was the place where new rp'ers could learn to rp. They could rp as themselves which made it much easier to catch and grasp the concepts of rp. Not everyone wants to be a Ninja and not everyone wants a bio, to make Konoha Town a bio only area would ruin this entire process of learning to rp. Yes they'd be able to rp as a bio, but they wouldn't be able to do anything. They'd have to wait for training to learn and they'd have to train to gain skills. (Isn't that what Ninja World is for?) [/QUOTE]

      But new 'RPers' don't learn anything realistic in here Whatever you do in Konoha Town, you can't do in the Battle Arena. I'm okay with LOL-RP, but it shouldn't mingle with serious RP and it certainly shouldn't be considered a 'place of learning'.
      Your analogy of Goldshire fits very well, but consider that Goldshire is the only place for dialogue-based RP. How can I do awesome scenarios when the ERP'ers are smexing each other and popping up wherever I go?

      Well there's really a lot of in character stuff now days. When I started it was just one thread for character rp and that was the castle. Now it seems that style has expanded pretty well. Theres actually more in character threads than out of character threads. Or at least more people that do in character rp than out of character RP. Which I think it's nice to be able to switch between the two whenever similar to how we do in the battle RP, we can fight as let's say, someone like Sasuke, yet let our own personality show when we want it to. Switching back and forth. However, most of the time they are in character than out of character.

      http://www.narutobase.net/forums/sho...d.php?t=127887
      First page of that is a clean example of ooc RP while RP'ing to the current area of the thread. Just doing what you yourself would do in that area with your friends. However, I think that when we all make an NB account, our username is it's own character, we aren't all our true selves online. So our character is already in our username. So in ooc RP, we are still really in character to how we want ourselves to be seen online.

      A sub forum for Ninja World wherein the bios can be used is a wonderful idea. However like I said I personally believe that the only problem with Konoha Town is the spam as this is and has been the sub forum header for well ever.

      General Naruto roleplay not involving battling or training can be done here.
      I too feel the sexting is to much and should be taken to pms or somewhere else because it doesn't have a place in KHT.

      Maybe they don't want to learn anything realistic. Like I said some people don't want a bio and don't want to be a violent rapist murdering Kumogakure nin.

      That's what makes it fun to others. Just relaxed RP. There should be a section for well thought out serious RP, but then again, not many people will want to type 300 words per post and be able to stay active in that style of RP unless they enjoy the Fanfiction section as well xD

      The one line dialogue RP, is still RP, just relaxed.

      Also, this section helped me to be more literate in the RP, it helped me write my ff's that I soon got 1st place for. So it does teach by giving you experience in the basics of RP and I mean the very basics of typing in RP style.

      I never once said that you need a bio, or 'persona' in this case would be a better word, to roleplay. Just makes the experience more enjoyable.

      Tavern Style RP is still in character, it's just a beginner's attempt at roleplaying where a persona and more technical stuff like that hasn't yet been established, and I'm all for that. I'm just saying it would be better to have a place for other more seasoned roleplayers to make their own scenarios and characters to roleplay with.

      Just for future reference if people don't understand:
      In Character means roleplaying, regardless of how it's done. Any type of roleplaying is considered in character.
      Out of Character is pertaining to a roleplay, but isn't playing the role specifically. I'll use the tavern RP style as a reference.
      btw, my character is an aggressive guy

      Re: ## Remodeling Konoha Town ##

      Just a side note: Konoha town is connected to the RP and you can only RP with a bio. The purpose of konoha town was to use your bio or bios and RP without envolving a battle or training. It was like that in the early stages. Then it became a place to simply RP or chat along as your own persona and not that of your bio. Then, around 18 months ago it began to be nothing more than a spam area with nothing to do regarding RP in general.

      Konoha town is a place to Role-play inside the NB RPG. Thats why the RPG bio section is inside Konoha town. Because they are logically connected. Or should be.

      To those who say its not broken I say its beyond salvation as it is. And it will be changed. I already have a small broad overview of what I'll suggest for it but it will be changed. As it is it can't be managed. And it can't be managed because no one reports rule breaking in it, no one helps keep it organized and clean and we simply can't have the section as it is now. It lacks purpose and organization. And a section without purpose already exists: chatterbox. And this isn't it.

      Exactly.
      Everybody want to be a Magical Vampire Princes. Everybody want to be the Heroic Protagonist or the 'Feared' Antagonist.
      I played a role; you could respect that, if nothing else.
      If you want to use playwright-style, control the environment and use auto-hit styles of writing, then by all means do so. You should not, however, try to pass it off as 'learning', or 'relaxing'. It's bad, it's sloppy and it's for those who can't actually make a charcter and follow that character.
      If everyone constantly bite and tear at each other's throats for the 'honor' of being the Protagonist; the plot won't move.
      So yes, let's seperate these roleplays. Keep controlling other people's characters. Keep the taverns. Keep the ERP and the LOL-RP.
      I'm not saying you need a bio to participate, but one-liners and smashing through the roof is just retarded. By all means; enjoy yourselves, but keep it down.

      But as for opinions, if it wasn't really a defined term in the RP dictionary then there could be opinions on what it really is.

      I wanna be a magical vampire princess! :D

      But as for the bolded, I disagree with you there. You have to start somewhere with roleplaying and this sloppy, half-assed attempts may be a window to the complicated roleplay you see today. You can't expect someone new to roleplaying to write these masterpieces with perfectly defined characters, a vocabulary which raises your IQ by 28 points and so on. It's a gradual process, to learning how to input more and more detail as you roleplay from something simple.

      Re: ## Remodeling Konoha Town ##

      guys...no need to make this turn into a heated discussion. So relax please.

      And howard, it will be fixed because its broken. Doesn't mean you can't help us fix it. Saying that the only problem is spam when everyone partakes in it and no one RPs is not helpfull. And when I say fix I don't mean that it will be made into a forum game section where members can't make threads or that it will be turned into anything other than an RP section. But it will change. Thats a given. How will it change? Well, thats what I'm trying to get your help and input to do. If I didn't really care about your opinions I'd simply pitch my own idea of things to Nexus and wouldn't even bother listening to what you guys say. So chill...

      I RPed in Konoha town with you guys, I was there. I remember the Konoha Spa, Konoha Clube, Konoha beach, etc etc. I was there with Sexy Tsunade, Toku, AiMi, AMystery, Kidkisame, KenpachiZaraki, etc etc. I know how and what is free tavern-like RP. And its ok. Problem is that that is long lost and the members aren't being directed for it because all they see is senseless spam and all they "copy" is then senseless spam.

      Explain to me what's broken then? I'm not seeing it, if you agree that what was done before was fine and that now what they're doing isn't then you agree that KHT as a section isn't broken. It's the people not the section correct?

      Like I said earlier it seems that you want to install a new motor for a shot spark plug.

      Sytem needs to adapt to the members. If the current system doesn't make sure the members are capable of using it correctly, the system needs to change to make sure the members can only use it in the correct way. Its easier to change the section than to correct the behavior of 250 daily posters. Specially when it was left like this for so long. Konoha Town isn't working as it is right now. Simple. Its not. And the problem (lack of RP and spam festing) are so deeply rooted that you can't correct it without revamping the system into something more functional.

Then, around 18 months ago it began to be nothing more than a spam area with nothing to do regarding RP in general.

      Konoha town is a place to Role-play inside the NB RPG. Thats why the RPG bio section is inside Konoha town. Because they are logically connected. Or should be.

      To those who say its not broken I say its beyond salvation as it is. And it will be changed. I already have a small broad overview of what I'll suggest for it but it will be changed. As it is it can't be managed. And it can't be managed because no one reports rule breaking in it, no one helps keep it organized and clean and we simply can't have the section as it is now. It lacks purpose and organization. And a section without purpose already exists: chatterbox. And this isn't it.
      Because no one is there to enforce the rules on it. You talked in this thread about duplicate threads. I reported one a few weeks back, you justified it saying duplicate threads have been made a lot, the one I reported is slightly different etc and that even my high school is a duplicate of something that has been made before. Then now you say duplicates are bad and the spamming of them and spam posts are what is driving you to this decision. Since it can't be managed. I've actually gave warning to those I've caught breaking nb rules. But I am not a mod, nor does one ever post in this section to alert others of a rule they're breaking. Show people what they're doing is bad. Make a thread in this section about common rules that are broken and sticky it. But trusting people to read the rules when most people on the site don't is going to have this kind of thing happen where sections become unmanageable. This new generation of RP'ers in this section have really abused it, I am not justifying that at all. They have taken what was already a little abused and multiplied it greatly. Some for their own benefit in post count and some unknowingly because it's just a side effect of the RP they've gotten into from watching others. However, if you divide the two styles of RP here, it will be more manageable. If a mod posts more often in this section, or even rp'es a little like the rest once in a while, the members will go "We probably shouldn't do anything that's out of line or that mod will see." Even if just once a week. Fear can bring people to doing things that are good. That's how religions are made after all. But the point being, if you let a section run loose, it will be a mess, look at forum games. No moderator, there doesn't really need to be one for the most part in that section, but we can all agree it is out of control some times. There is a lot of rule breaking in that section. A big one would be rep buttering. People that have joined a few months ago are now legend in rep and one person that joined in April is now narutobase addicted. When I joined, it took a lot to get even one bar of rep. I had to make several FFs and then draw 5 pieces of Art for one bar. Yet people get them every other day now. But that's beside the point here, if a mod would have made a thread and stickied it giving the rp'ers here fair warning among many other things that could have been done to prevent this change, it would have been more manageable. I already watch the Art section daily, I have a lot of free time on my hands and this place is like my home in nb. I wouldn't have mine looking through threads and reporting what is rule breaking and posting to warn others. However, the section isn't broken, the people in it just need to be guided and shown right from wrong, a few catch on and they warn others doing a lot of the work for you in a domino effect. This change wasn't needed. And also, I've read threads from 2009 and up, complete RP threads in this section from boredom because I had no life and nothing better to do. 90% of the people posting then, didn't have a bio. You are wanting to connect this section to ninja world yet ninja world wasn't even made when this section was out. The rp here has adapted because there is a ninja world now for people to do all the stuff you mentioned with their bios. What you are asking, is already done and any further adaptation would just be more suitable for a sub section in ninja world.

      I can understand spam. But lack of RP?
      "Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously."
      Nearly every post that goes into this section daily is RP. There isn't a level of RP but there is genre. Just like Music. What you want is to destroy everything in this section and make it something completely different in every way.

      First: What i said to you was that if i was to close or trash the high scholl thread you reported i would have to do so to all taverns, beaches, cafes, clubs, and all other similar and duplicate nonsene that exists his in Konoha Town. To apply something to someone it needs to be applied to everyone. Simple. And you reported that only because it was a ducplicate of your thread. What about one word replies? what about meme only replies? what about spam? what about insults? Do you report those? Nope. Because they don't affect you. The reason you reported that was either because you noticed it or becuase it affected you. The section is unamanageable as it is. And some changes will be done. They can go from making a set of rules to deleting threads to restricting thread amking to cleaning the section to dividing it, etc etc. It can be a myriad of things. Thats not figured out. Thus this thread.

      As for the rep, do you report it? Nope. And the rest is just ranting.

      The section isn't viable as it is and evryone let it come to this so it will now be changed. The change can be something small as a unique set of rules to something bigger like separating the free RP section from the naruto bound section. Regardless of that, change is needed. How it will be processed depends on the viable ideas presented and found.

      So you simply justified it just as I said you did. Not enforcing any rules, but justified it which let others think it was okay to do the same. And yes, I did report it for it being similar to my thread. I'm not a moderator, it isn't my job to go through threads and see which ones are duplicates. However, any thread that's over a month old cannot be posted in. Therefore others make new threads. When I made the high school, all threads before it were inactive for over a month.

      To the rest..

      Meme only replies? Do you even browse this section scorps? 98% of the people that post in this section have a character that they RP in. That character doesn't use memes. Thinking of forum games bro.

      As for the rep Honestly scorps what can I do to prove rep whoring? I'm not an admin, I can't view their userCP. Oh but guess what? This counts as me reporting it to you, saying that a lot of people in that section rep whore and it should be monitored, but you call it just ranting.

      Everyone let it come to this? More like certain staff members didn't enforce rules on it when given opportunity.
      Theres already a naruto bound section, it's called ninja world.

      Go ahead scorps, delete two years of my history from this site along with everyone else that RP'ed here. Trash every last thread in this section on something you say is broken when really rules only need to be enforced. Turn konoha town into something completely different and piss off the 20-25 people that RP here weekly. I am fighting for this section because of how great it was. Because it has potential to be that way again. Look, I just don't want to see this place go. We all had good times there, and from what you said on it's changes, it sounds like it will be changed completely. I know we all had fun then, so please just try to keep that same level of rp there.
      I'm not trying to argue with you, it's just that seeing all of this being let go just isn't deserving to how things were then. I don't want to not be able to have any fun like we all used to back when we were all friends. You know what howard and I are saying better than anyone else when we talk about it.

      Re: ## Remodeling Konoha Town ##

      You all seem to think or take as certain that We'll delete the section and simply make soemthing else. While possible, its not our plan. Its not our intention.

      Konoha is a mess and needs to be changed. But like I said, that change can go from a set of rules to a couple of new sub sections or something else. It all depends. Never once was it said that it was going to be deleted. It will change though. Because it doesn't work like this.

      Also, don't make this about you Matt. Its not. And no one in this staff in any revamp has trashed a section all together. Not even the also spammed Ninja World. It a change is made you won't lose anything. And its not a target to you. Its making the system better and more manageable.

      I Didn't reply to you because when you get in this "self targetting mode", you an't be reasoned with. And then nothing good comes from the discussion.

      I know I get like that but this is because it's something I really do care about man. That's memories, it's nice to go back and re-read it sometimes. I just don't want to see it all go away especially after two years =/
      I'm not trying to make it about me, but on some parts it just can't be helped. Even tho I know it just creates false reasoning. I just am wanting to have more times like those before, and I agree that with spam it has made it harder to do that. This section has fallen, and I know you're just trying to pick it back up, and if theres anyone I can rely on to do it right, it's someone that knows how to have fun here like you. I just didn't want it to change too much.

      All my opinion is, is that konoha town is changed it happens. I dont mind but I am concerned on some threads. Will some threads be taken off/closed? What will happen after konoha town is changed? These two are just basic questions scorps. If you can, please answer them and explain and what will happen. Thank you
