@moonprincess what usually goes on in the RP? Just outa curiosity..
-
@pony Um...RPing? And spammers. We get absolutely bombed with spammers.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 08:44:00 UTC from web-
@moonprincess hmm.. interesting. I mean like what sort of RP goes on? Is is adventure, slice of life, romance, something else?
-
@pony Most of it falls under slice of life, but there are romance RPs, ponies go on adventures, sometimes things happen that are O NO. I dunno, it's fun. @abigpony No it isn't.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 08:48:25 UTC from web-
@moonprincess yeah it is. You just #ooc the place to death
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 08:50:11 UTC from web-
@abigpony No.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 08:50:42 UTC from web-
@moonprincess Yes
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:01:59 UTC from web-
@abigpony -insert big no here-

@moonprincess -insert mediocre yes here-

@moonprincess interesting. What do you do if/when somepony drops out of the RP or is absent for a long time? Thanks for letting me pick your brain.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:19:26 UTC from web-
@pony Hrm. Well, if it's a character that's been around for AGES and has made ties with loads of characters, it's incredibly difficult to deal with. We had a scare when one of the oldest RPers left for a bit, but he came back. With minor-er characters there's usually the excuse of "left Equestria" or "ded".
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:20:32 UTC from web-
@moonprincess oh cool! So that's how that works.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:21:38 UTC from web-
@pony Yeah. A lot of people left a while ago so it's like "...yep. They left without saying anything."
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:22:43 UTC from web-
@moonprincess I love to think that they're still doing what they were doing before they left. For example, Charlie's still asleep in Fial's house. For like 10 months.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:24:41 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin You know, probably so. And he hasn't noticed. That's a Fial thing to do.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:25:01 UTC from web -
@thelastgherkin lulz

@moonprincess xP That's mostly what keeps me from joining I think. I'm afraid I'll get involved, burn out, then leave disappointed compadres behind.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:25:07 UTC from web-
@pony Well, you can always take a break without flat-out leaving.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:26:21 UTC from web-
@moonprincess true. It's tempting to try. Have you ever tried other pony RP places just to compare?
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:27:53 UTC from web-
@pony Yeah - I'm tempted as well :)
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:28:27 UTC from web-
@hakupony ^_^ I don't know which OC I'd use.. or whether I might make a new one or adopt a background pony.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:29:39 UTC from web-
@pony I'd use Starseer, the only problem could be that he is a professional scout and therefore would know about some things I as the player would not.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:32:14 UTC from web-
@hakupony ah yeah. That'd be tricky. I guess you can always learn new things and "fake it til you make it"
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:33:57 UTC from web-
@pony I think, I will use the "not sure if I am allowed to talk about this" excuse.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:36:42 UTC from web-
@hakupony that works xD

@pony I joined the Canterlot RP but I've been too nervous to actually post there. It's intimidating.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:29:05 UTC from web-
@moonprincess In how far intimitating?
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:29:45 UTC from web -
@moonprincess really? why's it intimidating?
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:30:00 UTC from web-
@pony @hakupony It's ginormous and everyone looks better than me. And they have lots of rules so I'm scared of doing something wrong.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:30:54 UTC from web-
@moonprincess ah I see

@moonprincess what happens if a mane character becomes inactive? Are there rules to allow somepony else to take over?
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:31:03 UTC from web-
@pony Any canon characters have to be RPed at least once every two weeks - the first time you don't (without proper explanation, like bad news or a vacation), it's a warning, the second time the character is no longer yours and can be auditioned for.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:34:31 UTC from web-
@moonprincess o.o that seems like a good system
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:35:25 UTC from web-
@pony Yeah. It's frustrating to have a canon or background character go inactive that you want to RP with or want to RP, and can't do anything about it. Or have a character being RPed by someone that sucks.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:36:18 UTC from web-
@moonprincess That would be a little frustrating yeah
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:36:54 UTC from web-
@pony So..tada! New system!
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:37:25 UTC from web-
@moonprincess I'm thinking it might be nice to try a more intimate RP environment, so perhaps Canterlot RP isn't for me.. at least not for starters. I got an invitation once from somepony to join an RP site that he highly recommended.. I don't know which site it was anymore though..
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:40:21 UTC from web-
@pony I'd even like Canterlot RP - strict rules and good roleplaying don't intimitate me. The problem is that I most likely will struggle with the first post for every play - and then it is better if you may know some of the players before...
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:42:44 UTC from web-
@hakupony Yes. Me too. I actually prefer strict clear rules as long as they don't stifle creativity too much. I just would rather not be lost in a sea of players.

Velvet's design is more complex than it seems at first glance. Blergh.

@moonprincess I'm a fan of slice of life stuff and romance personally. Is the RP site held to the same SFW standards as this place?
-
@pony It's PG-13. I'm not sure what the SFW standards are on mane, but..yeah.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 08:55:45 UTC from web-
@moonprincess it's probably the same then. Lately there's been some stricter moderation here though.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:08:10 UTC from web-
@pony We don't really need strict modding over there, except when people fill up everything with OOC.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:09:18 UTC from web-
@moonprincess Oh that makes sense I guess since, if you're trying to be true to the show, you wouldn't deviate too far. If that a concern over there? Do many like to go far from canon?
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:11:24 UTC from web-
@pony Er...well...it already takes place five years ahead of the end of the show, and canon deviations happened naturally. I.E., Discord happened before season 2 and wasn't a draconequus; Cadance doesn't exist and she and Shining Armour never married; there are "higher powers" that aren't defined by the show...
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:13:09 UTC from web-
@moonprincess I see. How about the general nature of the characters and stories? Would you say they're more or less in line with the tone of the show?
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:15:33 UTC from web-
@pony For the mane six, Twilight's kind of different, but the others are pretty much the same. Luna, who I play, has deviated since I had to basically construct her character on my own before season 2, but I do enjoy working with the creepy aspect of her. @hakupony It used to be more adventurous.
Thursday, 19-Jul-12 09:17:11 UTC from web

-
@moonprincess The thing I don't get - how do such epic deviations happen when it mostly is slice of life?
