That or start some forum RP... then we can bitch about the quality of RP on the forums.

I imagine the complaints would diverge from RP and go to lack of proper models or some such thing just like the game complaints. Silly RPer, the RP will fix itself once all of the mechanics tell you what to do.

These forums are more active than the game haha
I be lurkin' in the shadows of Ojaveda. Come by, I'll rob ya for free.  ;D
Only if you count people talking to each other since the game now has more players logged in than people lurking the forums, and if I wanted to pay someone to take my money, I'd go find a new bank instead. :P

Actually forum rap can be a lot of fun once you have the feel for it. Best of all, you only need one other writer.

I started RP by using message boards and forums. It's actually really fun, though the norms are slightly different - for example it's generally okay to post what your character is thinking to pad your post's word count there, as one-line posts aren't usually appreciated on them.

Quite true. Also, its less of a game and more focused on story creation. You're not really competing with a fellow writer but cooperating with them to create an awesome story. It does take time to get used to...

Err yeah.... I don't think I would like forum RPing as much. I prefer to know what is going on in a scene fairly quickly and I don't need a detailed description of the surrounding unless it is actually relevant to the incident. Nevertheless, I do have an idea for a funny forum RP.

I was going to let the "rap" bit go but I see Irishman couldn't. ;)

Nice thing is, its common to pre-arrange the scene. Two writers may agree on a framework for a plot or general direction in advance and either stick to it, dance around it, or just ad-lib freely without a story arc at all. Personally, I prefer to agree in advance on a loose framework and go from there as without it, stories tend to drift into limbo. With forum RP, its far more efficient time-wise so one can easily juggle a large number of stories simultaneously whereas with an mmorpg you're a bit more limited to the number of instances you can load and juggle at once. One can easily run seven to ten completely different stories at a time if you post a few paragraphs to each one daily or weekly. Just sayin...
