a little advice.
-first
 give a list of the characters, and open them up to people who want to join. otherwise its not much of a rp if you play all the characters.
 second, be patient. rps can last for years, with days or even weeks passing between posts.  spamming posts to try and draw intest will only result in you getting tossed.
3 be more descriptive. Why do they change?  how will their changes affect their personality? and so on.

What is the purpose of this? What plot will this lead into? You say that you see this as a long roleplay, but really, so far all you've mentioned is that they constantly change each day somehow. I don't think the mechanism is explained, so it feels like it's just happening just cause. And honestly, I don't see much story potential with what you described so far. It just sounds like the entire story amounts to "Littlefoot and his friends experience some changes. They return to normal. The end."

But what about conflict? What are they going to do each day? Are their parents going to recognize them? How are they going to react? What else did you have in mind for this roleplay outside of them just changing? And again, what is the meaning of the changes?

To explain, I'll bring up another roleplay. The change in species one that hasnt' been continued in a while, where the gang become sharpteeth. The purpose here was to explore what would happen if Littlefoot and his friends were suddenly on the opposite side of the food chain, and how their folks would react. This already bring about plenty of potential for story telling as it could go in several directions, and has already brought forth the well-recieved fanfic, The Seven Hunters, which was inspired by the roleplay.

But so far, you have only explained that these characters change, but you haven't reallly given a reason as to why. You haven't given a potential conflict. It's almost like your idea is just them interacting like they normally do, their parents interacting with them like they normally do, with the only thing changing being what they are. This does not make for a very interesting story.

There is potential, however. Like... let's say that, when they change into different species, their personalities are altered to suit that species. Cera becoming a bit more skittish and ready to fly off when she's a flyer, or laidback Spike turning into an aggressive fighter when he becomes a threehorn. Stuff like that. And having their parents actually react to the changes. Perhaps refusing to acknowledge that the 'colored like my child but a different species' child is their own. Like Cera's dad honest-to-gawd refusing to see a longneck Cera as his daughter.

These ideas could help spread out the roleplay and make it longer.

I'd rather it be  'a change in species' and build from there. its not  the title of the rp thats at issue, its lack of conflict. And where will the rp be put? if it involves magic, it goes in random roleplay. Also your response gave them their heights, which is frankly irrelevant. how tall they are doesnt matter, its their personalities that matter. you also need to refrain from double and triple posting. if you have extra stuff to say, edit an existing post and add it in.

sure, i'll help you. i'm the admin for the roleplay section, after all. however, part of changing into different species, also requires that their voices change. this will create conflict between them and their parents. it will also provide an opportunity to explore outside of the great valley. And further instead of each change lasting a single day, the changes should last a week each. otherwise the changes arent long enough for them to adjust to them, and get used to being in that form or gender.

Basically and honest I wanted to see the gang as a different kind of species.
The parents will recongnize them by voice and color. Im sorry for disturbance.
Also the somewhat (not sure exactly) nice the gang will experience new things in the form of
Different dinosaur species. Like if littlefoot was turn into a swimmer and he started swimming for the first time. Im sorry for hurting you members. Please forgive me.
Wanting to see the gang as different species is a start, an initial inspiration which isn't bad. But it's not enough to get a story going. You need to build it more; a story cannot stand around just one idea.

Also, realistically I don't think their parents would recognize him by color and voice alone. I can more easily see them thinking that they just happen to have similar colors and voices to their children, but it wouldn't be enough to identify them. I feel that there would be some potential conflict, and thus some interesting plot development if the adults didn't recognize their children as they change.

part of a rp, is adjusting to the other  rpers, as well as where the story is headed.  you have to be flexible. being happy , mad etc, are not personalities, they are feelings. being mad isnt a personality. you need to also add things like relationships in. for instance, say little foot likes Ali, or Cera likes Ducky.   you need conflict, and you need relationships between the characters. changing the species allows for changes in relationships, and changes within the characters themselves. Maybe Cera likes being a boy, for instance.

well, no. the changes cant just be one-offs. theres no conflict if they change into them once, and never again afterwards. rps require that  things stay interesting as well. if they kids only change once, then they forget that it ever happened after awhile. that week has to be memorable.  perhaps each charactes likes a different form. saypetrie likes being a long neck, while Spike likes being a threehorn.
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: Nick22 on January 15, 2017, 12:40:00 AM
no, you have to mix it up.  say one week, all the characters are girls, next week  all boys. the week after that a mix.   keeping their genders the same is limiting.

this should be a general discussion thread, for when rps get ideas, have questions, or just want to comment out of character, or OOC. you keep OOC stuff out of the rp, because it slows the rp down otherwisde. further. you should only pick 1-2 characters, sio that each rper has a shot to play as a character they like.
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: Nick22 on January 15, 2017, 12:44:44 AM
well if others are rping, they may want genders to switch. a rp requires that other people have imput, it cant just all be coming from one person. you may want things one way, but othes maay disagree.

well, i was thinking we wait a few days before starting
 you need to get interest in a story first, before starting it. normally you want 4-5 rpers involved in a story. the more posters, the more likely stuff will go on in the rp.

I know but let's just start it out a little
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: Nick22 on January 15, 2017, 12:52:51 AM
well, no. you don';t start until you have enough players to pull it off. while you can do a rp with just 2 people, it requires both people to be very active. and folks do have lives outside of the GOF.
 also, as an aside/ you should post a welcome thread in the Welcome center introducing yourself, since you are new here. name, where you are from, how old you are, interests, and so on. why you joined GOF, etc.

No they will keep their genders thats how I think of the roleplay
As Nick22 said earlier, you need to be flexible and willing to listen to others' ideas and input, and be willing to adjust. You do not have 100% control over the roleplay. It's a group effort. The starter of the roleplay does get the initial concept down, but they do not maintain absolute control as other members will put in their ideas and the original idea can be bent and molded in new directions.

If you insist on keeping the roleplay how you see it and not let anyone else bring in new ideas and mold the story in unexpected ways, then it would get a little boring. It would become less of a group effort and more just...writing out what you want and going on this strict predetermined path.

My suggestion would be what Nick22 said earlier. Allow for flexibility. Just because you see the roleplay going one way doesn't mean that others can't bring in new ideas and can't mold it themselves. The point of a roleplay is that everyone contributes. This makes a roleplay exciting; you never know the exact direction it will go.

To not confuse members, the gang of 7 will turn into the same type of species as they are

1st week-longnecks (Apatosaurus)
2nd week-threehorns (Triceratops)
3rd week-swimmers (Saurolophus)
4th week-flyers (Pteradactyle)
5th week-spiketails (Stegosaurus)
6th week-fast runners (Oviraptor)
7th and final week-Sharpteeth (Tyranosaurus Rex)

and they will be the kid sizes and also will remember everything from this

you need to stop posting so much LBT. you need to alklow other people to post and have their opinions. constantly posting doesnt help wghen it comes to other people having interest. also in rps, you have to have details ion posts. one liners don;t really work in telling a story.

Title: Species stay the same
Post by: Nick22 on January 16, 2017, 12:54:07 AM
first, you have to have length to your posts, as stated before. second you cannot control everything that goes on in the rp. for instance if i play cera and i have her want to stay as a boy, you cant change it so she goes back to normal. Third, you have to be patient, and allow for time to elapse while others decide wghen to post. constantly posting stuff ' like its your turn' or ' why arent you posting?' will kill a rp pretty darn quick. Not to mention folks dont like an attention hog, which is what posting several times in a row is. Say what you have to say, then let others have the chance to respond. We wont be doing a synopsis tonight, because we need to get other posters in first. And my time is limited, as I am involved with several ongoing rps, and this rp will be at the bottom of the pecking order. I'll post when I can., but I make no guarantees/
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: LBT90321 on January 16, 2017, 12:59:49 AM
I understand
But if you play Cera she has to still be her girl threehorn self in the beginning
And after the first midnight species magic spell she will turn into a male orange Longneck
and I'll let you come up with a name for male Cera
I'll play littlefoot
The others can choose.
And I'd like to here what you may think of Petrie being a longneck. You asked me that early.
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: Nick22 on January 16, 2017, 01:04:53 AM
see thats the thing, if she is my character I decide what color she turns into , and how she reacts to it.  You cant say " Oh, she'll turn into this, or act this way', because shes not your character, shes my character, and its up to me how things turn out. You can only control your characters and the plot to a limited degree. As for Petrie, he'll only be a long neck for a week. he might enjoy it, being like littlefoot, or he might like being his normal self better. Hard to say.
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: LBT90321 on January 16, 2017, 01:18:37 AM
Petrie may like or enjoy being a longneck for a week because of 1 reason
SIZE
Throughout the series he is the smallest of the gang. Although in some scenes he is the same size as Ducky. In episode 14 he is seen being the same height as Spike.
I'll play littlefoot
In the first week he'll still be his normal self but for the next 6 weeks one each he will be experiencing a new body form of a brown Threehorn, Swimmer, Flyer, Spiketail, Fast runner, and even a Sharptooth.
Littlefoot will also learn and do things that he couldn't do as a longneck.
Swim, fly, and roar
Like to here respons

Update:
Ducky may also like being a longneck because she is small like Petrie

And the others will do new things in new bodys. Not just littlefoot

2nd update
I want to hear you're thoughts on Ducky being a longneck for a week.
What would she say? What would she think? How will her mother react?
Whould she be happy to be a longneck for week because she would be bigger than a young swimmer?
Title: Species stay the same
Post by: Nick22 on January 16, 2017, 01:22:21 AM
size may be a factor, but then theres also liking who you already are, and a new apprecuation for it. at any event i think that is enough on the subject for tonight. i'm headed to bed. i say we need at least 2 more posters before starting the story, and we need more detai;ls on the plot anyway.

I'm keeping an eye on your RP thread but you're trying to be boss and that's repelling me because I would like to be creative about the character(s) that I play if I were to join (unlikely at this point unless there's a good storyline to follow but I do not see any right now)

I'm also repelled by your constant begging. If you are already acting like this before the RP has started, I don't think I want to see it started because all you'd do - or so I imagine, would be asking people to post faster. That's not how a RP works, honestly. Some of the non-LBT RPs have a pretty constant posting rate of a few posts a week but LBT RPs tend to go slower here. Just thought I should mention that.

Either way, I've seen my fair share of members who made a rough start here during the 4 years I've been here. I still have hope that you can learn how to behave properly on here, so please try to listen to the things others tell you. Nick is a very experienced Rper, if he says something doesn't work the way you want it to, you can believe him that this is going to be the case, trust me.

From Rhombus: No problem.  But for further reference you can edit your previous posts to add things to your old post (like I am doing here) instead of double-posting.  If you have any questions about how to do this then let us know and we can lead you through the process.  :)

Title: Species stay the same

Correct.  You go to the edit button on your previous post (if you wish to add to it) and then it will allow you to modify that previous post.  Please note that we do not want people deleting old posts in this way, but if you wish to add an update then that is okay.  For example, I often update my posts with something like this:

Update: Here is an example.

I do this by clicking on the bold button and then the underline button, and then I put in the text 'update', and then I click on the "close all tags" button, and then I add my updated text.  Feel free to try it in your previous post to see if you can get the hang of it.

1.BACKGROUND HISTORY PRODUCTION
-The roleplay was started by LBT90321. LBT90321 has been a fan of Land Before Time since childhood. In 2015, he found The Gang Of Five forum online. He became interested in the GOF. He checked some roleplays made by other members like Nick22 and Threehorn. After looking through some roleplays about members changing into dinosaurs, LBT90321 had thoughts of a new roleplay that other members didn't think of:the gang being turn into the same types of dinosaurs there are.

LBT90321 joined GOF on January 13,2017 and announced the roleplay. The title was different. At first there was "Species stay the same" and "new species for a week" but the title was change because LBT90321 thought it would confuse people. Also it was going to be a week where they are the same type for each day, but it was change to 7 weeks because nick22 said if LBT90321 wanted it to be a long roleplay, it would have to be weeks instead of days. LBT90321 plans to do it with 15  members online, including himself.

2.SYNTHOSIS
The gang of seven will experience new changes.

3.PLOT SUMMARY
Once every 100 years, the Rainbow Faces choose a group of young dinosaurs to be the same type for a week. One day they choose Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Ruby, and Chomper to do this. They say to them that for the next 7 weeks they will turn into the same but different types of dinosaurs of the first character. They also say that it begins at the end of the week at midnight that they will turn into 7 different types of dinosaur kids and that at the end of the 7th week they will turn back to normal. They 7 kids will try to adapt to their bodys for the next 7 weeks and learn new things in their new bodys. (Basically a week from Sunday to Saturday)

4.SPECIES CHANGE TYPES FOR CHARACTERS
At the end of the week(Saturday) midnight they will change into new types of dinosaurs and will still keep their colors
On the 1st week they will be longnecks.
On the 2nd week they will be Threehorns
On the 3rd week they will be Swimmers
On the 4th week they will be Flyers
On the 5th week they will be Spiketails
On the 6th week they will be Fast-Runners
On the 7th week they will be Sharpteeth

5.MEMBERS JOINING
so far LBT90321, Ducky123, and Nick22 have join. The roleplay is still open for others.

6.POSTING RELEASE
The roleplay is scheduled to be release in early 2017

7.RECEPTION
A sudden change in species currently has a 0% because it hasn't been made yet. Reviews will be posted after the roleplay is finished.

8.CONTROVERSALY
The roleplay may have disagreements from members because of personality change and reaction to the kid's parents

Ok dude, not trying to be rude here but I been over this thread and just wanted to post my two cents.

Firstly you seem to be bit too controlling, roleplaying is meant to help express peoples storytelling from the view of their assigned character what happens to that character and their reactions is up to the person playing them to decicde.

Also you do realise sometimes it can be days, weeks or even months between posts? You can't expect for a week in the RP to be a week in real time. Some RPS I been in on other sites a day in the RP lasts a month in real time. Not because we are purposely making it slow but because members can't just sit and post all day.

You can't expect everything to go 100% your way, roleplaying is a group effort everyone adds to the story in their own way. You cannot decide what other peoples characters do.

If you really want this to go in a certain way, maybe you're better off writing a fanfiction then you can do whatever you want and not worry about others changing characters a bit.

Also 'A Sudden Change in Species' is way to close to 'A Sudden Change of Species' which would just get confusing. Maybe, "Through New Eyes"? Since they'll be seeing the world through the eyes of a different species.

It's meant to be new not just for me but others too.
Also it sounds and feels like role playing than fanfiction

Hey, sorry for not replying sooner, I was busy.

Anyway, as I've told you in my PM, I am trying to help you get this RP started, okay? However, I'm not so sure if your introductionary post up there is working. Let me try, okay?

At least leave the plot summary and types of changes for characters please
It wasn't easy making this Wikipedia like page

look, LBt you cannot be too controlling, either for ideas in the rp, or the plot. otherwise its not really a rp if you direct how everything goes.   You do that, and well its not a rpoleplay if only one person posts, its a fanfiction

Post by: LBT90321 on January 20, 2017, 06:02:11 PM
Im sorry. I'll be less controlling
But I been patient for a week and nobody has join yet
I want to be better than this

Due to complaints and rejections from members, "A sudden change in species" is cancelled
And will not be made as roleplay
Im sorry
LBT90321

Rhombus: What are you talking about, LBT90321?  You cannot cancel a RP that you are not a member of.  The "A sudden change in species" RP has been dormant for a long time, but it has never been officially canceled. Are you actually talking about your idea for a RP in this post?

it can take awhile for people to join a roleplay. unfortunately, some times a rp simply doesnt take off. either folks are too busy, or they don't like the plot, or well theres dozens of possible reasons why  they dont join.  in addition to changing of the species, they should also travel to different areas- after all theres only so much you can do in the great valley

Yeah, there could be an epic adventure while they try to resolve their change. It's those things that make the difference between "just some story" and an "epic story" The RP could be really good if we come up with a great plot and I'm sure more people would show their interest then. I think, so far, you've rather scared them away. Took me a while to see the potential of the idea if carried out well.

Really I would scare them if I said their monsters, but their not.
It's just that when there Longnecks, Threehorns, Swimmers, Flyers, spiketails, Fast runners, and sharpteeth they will experience adventures for 7 weeks

You did seem kinda bossy and that would of put many people off.

If you want to lead a RP you'll have to learn to listen to others input and ideas.

I may join, may if the plot gets explored more.

What kind of adventures?
What  obstacles will that face?
What is the point of the the changing?
Why were they the chosen ones?

Just having it 'oh they change and have adventures' isn't really putting out there very much. You want to draw people in.

Be patient, you're just turning people right now.

You'll have to let others help you, and not be so controlling. A RP leader only has control up to a point but they cannot control every single line otherwise you just have a bunch of people writing a fanfiction for you. Roleplay is about freedom.

I know freedom. I want it as much as everyone does. I can't control all lines. Only the other members can control.

To answer the questions this is it
1.the adventures will include getting lost, finding new caves, metting old friends, encounter red claw, and making it back home with courage and friendship.

2.the obstacles include streatching necks for reaching, hitting heads on rocks, swimming in rapids, flying, running fast away from enemies, and doing a loud roar.

3.the point of changing is for them to experience what would happen if they were different dinosaur species

4.they were chosen by the rainbow faces for change because once every 100 years the 2 choose a group of kids to go through the same kind of dinosaur types. The 7 kids are their choice.

I think at this point it's pretty safe to say that not enough people are interested.  :sducky
