Tacitus Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 So this is exactly what it sounds like. Ideally, we will be able to logically decide, based on various factors, how to create a perfect RP. First, factors that determine a RP's success: Chronological length (How long it lives), Thread length (how long the thread gets [excluding any specifically meant to just be long]), and overall enjoyment of the RP. Factors I can think of that would affect a RP's success: Idea origination (Someone else's, or original) How and how well the idea was 'pitched' Control (basically Dm'd-/-Free action) Number of RP'ers What we'll do is suggest more factors that would affect an RP's success in the thread, and then, the long grind, assessing, if not every, many RP's, judging their success, and using that to see what causes a RP to be successful. Then, we test the theory and try to create the perfect RP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensation Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yeah, that doesn't sound... possible. But if it ends up with a solid solution, I'll totally join! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channelknight Fadran Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 So... I think a good RP should have a decent post-to-quality ratio. Obviously you can’t and even shouldn’t make super elaborate posts for everything, but you also don’t want to go back and forth with boring, pointless dialogue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla of Colors Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think a good RP has some sort of plot (and hopefully someone to help us stay pointed in the right direction.) It has a purpose, our characters have a goal or quest. Even just a string of little quests would make a good RP, especially if there's a big quest/problem to fix that we don't necessarily know about and that's the hidden goal of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 However, the best RP I’ve ever played (Siren’s Call) didn’t have an initial plot: just a world. Same with Fellowship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Fellowship Which makes it so that people can create their own plots. So you can start with a plot and a world then let people add characters, or you can start with a world and let people add plot and characters. Right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
