The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I've always wanted to try this out... how would members of different races be able to found a city, when there is magic involved, too? We would have to work on the details, of course, and there would have to be some sort of order worked out...

A rule of thumb noname is not have so many rps going on at once that you neglect some of them.. it is better to finish some then start a new rp.. that start one and become so caught up in running that rp, that you forget the others you've already started.

It may seem exciting to run an rp, but best to not run to many at once.  Up to you.  It could be an interesting idea.  & if you'd want folks to suggest ideas and such that would take time, plenty of time to get the fantasy rp finished and maybe a sequel started, and or finished.

This is just a preliminary idea page; I have no plans to actually START this one... not for a long time.

I think you mean "Well, then, that's different." I'm not sure as to what the setting is. Keep in mind that it won't be running for months, in all likelihood, or at least, weeks.

I already knew that rule of thumb; which is why I am talking about it here rather than posting it on the actual roleplaying section, but thanks for the advice anyway.

Not really; I intend for this to be a "spin-off" more than anything... maybe when a story arc IN the fantasy RP is complete...

I don't know yet; I was planning for that to be part of the RP itself.

The idea is that the founders of the city would pick it... which will happen in the RP... which will begin at a later date.

Indeed. Still, a few details may be worked out ahead of time.

That makes sense; although I was thinking that, if they are going to build a city, they would have to have civilian jobs as well, such as carpenter, blacksmith, teacher, mason, etc.

So more like a day in the life instead of a team of adventurers?

Also would you prefer folks to do a lot of posting like the other fantasy rp thread, or have it be slower more limited number of posts ?
