Alright guys, I just want to see the number of active RP'ers we have here! Think of it as a roll call. I'm planning a few projects and I just want to see how much we've grown (or shrunk).
Post your name. Include any pertinent information on how active you are or will be, etc. etc.

Hi, my name's N(t)D, I like long walks on the beach, I'm fairly new at rping, but I do try.
Hey BI, you know me! But for the hell of it...
Data-file accessed...
Name: iHawk
Rank: RPer, occasional GM, occasional Co-GM
Interests: Good writing, sucker for internal conflicts. Prefers new ideas over "based on" RPs.
Availibility: Low; School takes up most of available time, but will hopefully become more managable.
Notes: Will make time if the RP is good enough. Willing to help other RPers with brain-storming, writing and ideas. Can be reached on IRC from When-I-Log-On - When I Log Off. Alternatively Messages can be left via PM.
Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for but I didn't have enough time to post in an RP but I needed to let off some writing steam.
Black.Ice
10-21-2006, 2:21 AM
Yeah, that's fine.
I just wanted people to post saying if they're available or not. Any additional details are a plus.
Hi I'm ceaser. I'm about 6 mounths in to role playing. Can't stop thinking of role play idea but 95 percent will never be. My grammer sucks on the fly (Ask Kong and sparten) but if I take my time and do't rush my post are decent.
Avaiblity: High. Always lookig for new stuff. I can keep about 5 RP's going and love them.

Hey I'm Biohazard60, I'd say I'm fairly known, at least to the RPers, and the occasional non-rper like WK and TinyDancer (<3). Um I am really into Fantasy, somewhat into Sci-Fi depending on my mood, not so much into modern though. Im usually available unless I have rehearsal for a play or musical, which will be starting up soon so time will become more stressed. When I get home from school my computer time starts as this: Checking e-mail, myspace, then warboards. So Ill be up-to-date most of the time.

Hi, my name is Lord Quimbley.
Things that make me go Mmmmm are long walks on radioactive beaches. tormenting small cildren and eating small cats. Elderly people falling down gives me a good laugh.
I am eternal, married and cursed to listen to dribble and drabble from the many minnions that travel the world.
O' and every one here hates me and has something against my RP's

Name: kongurous
Rank: RPer, semi-frequent GM
Interests: Good writing, epic storylines, plot twists, and major characters dying in a good way. I like sci-fi and fantasy, mostly.
Availibility: Most of my RP interest is divided between the Warhammer 40k forum I help run and here. I sometimes have a good idea for this place, but as of late, my participation has been low to null.
Notes: I'm more than willing to brainstorm ideas or to help plan out aspects of the gameplay and/or story of anyone who needs the help. I can't stand modern RPs, however, cus there is no sense of anything new or unknown, so please don't come to me with an idea for one.

i rp when ever i see a good story. im active all threw the week and weekends
I'll put myself here to say I am willing to join in on 40k, StarCraft or humourous rps. I don't join many, but I stick with any that I do join as far as possible.

I'm here off and on. Haven't been able to RP much lately - school and people and shit - but yeah. I'll still lurk around, so you can most likely count on me.

This thread title reminds me of an old slim shady song.
Down to buisness, I'm an on and off Rper on the boards. Glad to see a couple of the older faces around here though I see many have joined in my absence. It's been several months since my last visit but I'm back with a new RP that I hope will take off.

I joined two rp's but they both died, which was fairly depressing. The few posts I did put on were probably of a fairly high quality, though I don't want to speak too highly about my own stuff.
If anyone starts a Starship Troopers rp I'll join it - so long as we have powered armour. :D
I'm at college currently so my availibility is variable. But I'm usually able to get online most days of the week.
Edit: If anyone else has read the Revelation Space books by Alastair Reynolds and is interested in coming up with an rp based on them, PM me. The idea I had at the moment was Ultranaught crews...

Hola.
I am fully willing to be devoted to any RP. I havent been in many lately, but BI, if you make an RP, I will certainly join.

I love to write. I also am capable of GMing. I like quirky and interesting RPs, not run of the mill sci-fi/fantasty types. I'm in a foreign country and party a lot, so I can't be a really active RPer, but I still have time for the occasional post.
Black.Ice
10-23-2006, 4:58 PM
Just a general FYI about this thread: I'm going to be leaving it open for about another week or so.
Name: Derek Blechinger (A.K.A.: BIGDB)
I browse around warboards a lot, but don't (generally) post unless I feel as though I can genuinly contribute to the thread. So I guess you can brand me either as far as activity goes. Also, if an RP is dying, I don't make it a priority to keep the damned thing alive... It is the GM's responsibility. And if they choose to cease moving the plot forward, and don't hold people accountable to posting regularly, then I say let it die. Either the GM's heart is in it, or it isn't.
Pet Peeve's: I MUST read every post in an RP thread before I post anything. I can't stand people who ignore other's posts, or are ignorant of the storyline and subplots. I hate it when people pick on the new kids. ^_^ People won't ever mature by someone screaming "Learn damn you!" all the time... As long as the individual is willing to learn, and is actively attempting to get better at writing and roleplaying, I'm fine.
I originally came to warboards was actually because of the roleplay PvR. I travelled to like three different sites, following the storyline the whole way. I've read almost every post of that roleplay, and didn't realize it was/had been dead until I came here. But I found the roleplaying community very open and fun, so I stayed.
Strongpoints: Post-Apocalyptic, Abstract-Reality, and Epic roleplays.
I know that's a fair bit of information. It may not all be necessary, but I felt it was all important enough to include.
Black.Ice
10-23-2006, 5:19 PM
That's the cool thing about RP'ers when it comes to writing -- you ask them to simply write if they're active, and they give you their life history, reasoning of why they are not active, when they will be active, what will make them active, and their pet-peeves I love it. :)
Anyways, here's a count for those of you who are to lazy to do it yourselves: 19 semi-active / active members.
Not bad at all.
Nickodemus
10-24-2006, 8:26 AM
you know my pet peve is i put work into RP's. mine are usually based for character drama and human interaction, but people don't seem to get that and/or want to do it. but sign up for them anyways? <shrug> sometimes i don't get this place. And then My new one has got lots of thought, is better written i think than my others and it gets hardly nothing.
a side note: Ice, shouldn't your logo name be Black snake on a schwitz?
Calibur
10-24-2006, 2:34 PM
Well you can't always make people write just the way you want them to LQ.
On a side note- I've noticed not alot of RPs have been very succesful lately. I'm intrigued as to the exact reason why.
Black.Ice
10-24-2006, 2:46 PM
I don't think so Calibur. Looking at the front page, you can see there's not a single thread that has over 100 posts. Back a year ago at the exact time, there's 5.
The RP forum hasn't been doing too great.
Oh, and LQ, it's not a snake on Schwitzer, it's a stick figure of me... :P

There haven't been any original interesting RPs lately with a STORYLINE that makes me want to join. I'll see a new RP open, read the backstory and be like 'neat!' and then its like 'this is a free form rp' and I just close the window.

Ender, your metaphors are magical.
I really try to RP but this show coming up is gonna hit me hard, since I have the lead (w00t)
Ender
10-24-2006, 10:32 PM
What show are you doing? I'm a theater freak, too. In 35 years of shows, my John Proctor was the best performance ever at my high school, according to my director and the Detroit News, haha.
And that was a simile, by the way. And it should be Roleplay Forum Law.
Biohazard
10-24-2006, 10:43 PM
Well we are putting/put on 4 shows this school year. The first show (which is already over) was Radio TBS (Trailorpark Broadcasting Scandals). The second show which we are rehearsing now (Im asst. choral director) is Nuncrackers. The third which is Fame (I got the lead and rehearsals start next week). The fourth is Imaginary Invalid (I doubt I'll audition, it depends).
And the "Metaphors are magical" is a quote from Employee of the Month, that Dane Cook is a silly bitch!

For some reason, I've had a bad case of the "I don't give a fuck" syndrome lately, and every RP I post a charrie in I can never write more than 2 or 3 posts (Hence is why Dragon Wars hasn't gone anywhere, not to mention I have a bunch of shit I have to worry about atm, so yeah...)
I know exactly what you mean, my man.

I would, but I also have 3 College Application Essays to finish (By the 2nd of next month, if I remember correctly) AND a scholarship thinger to fill out which is due by Halloween.
So, no time to try and figure out a post for the next few WEEKS (Cause after the above, I have ACT AND SAT to study for, both of which are in December)
Life is good.

I've haven't RPed much. The only one I've done was with SkyScrapers Earth Bound, but he hasn't been back and school sucks (gr12) and I don't have much time for stuff. But definatly, if I find a worthy RP or something that even has potential to be good, I'll join. I like writting when I get the time, so Rping is just the thing for me. Only problem I have is that I usually don't have enough to write let alone edit my work. Hopefully after graduating things will quiet down for a bit, but not likely.
Joker365
10-28-2006, 6:51 AM
exams and stuff r coming up, so rping is quite low ony my priorities list. but in a week or 2 once everything is over i should be able to rp a whole lot more.
uhh...the main rp's i've been in is Veegers starcraft rp The Terran Legion and Prtosschick and Ender's The Prophecy of Masomethingsomething. Pity those 2 died, cos they were really awesome.
i guess starcraft and fantasy rp's r the only 2 i'm fairly good at, but i'm willing to try out others if the story is interesting.

Thanks for all your responses guys. This was just to count how many active (semi-active / interested) members we have in the RP forum. We have twenty-three members, which is kinda cool.
I've organized a list in alphabetical order, however, I didn't include people with <100 posts. Sorry if you're one of them, but I wanted to include only people who've been around for a while.
