Krazoa has suggested we create a species board; is that needed?
You'll be able to post/make your own species.
-
Eh kinda pointless cause like you can pretty much make ur own species anywhere. Like in rp stuff people have made what their own species are so i gotta say no :c
-
I'm gonna say yes because lots of people love to share there species ^.^
-
They do but they can do that anywhere other just in one thread, like i said lol. It'd be nice for a thread just for that i guess but still kinda eh... so its a yes / no for me
-
Oh most certainly! I was wondering where it was!
-
I'd have to say no aswell. Not sure I get the point of it.
-
I said yes! It would be rather fun!
-
I say yes we need a species board. :) To be able to have our threads on history, description, applications and all that.
-
I'm gonna say yes, not that I'd use it, but I like to read those sometimes x).
-
Yes, creating and sharing species has always been pretty popular, and I love looking at other people's species and seeing what they're like :3
-
Thing I thought about though, is that some are very protective of what they "come up with" so even if there are several ways to edit a character. It might happen that people would go around accusing someone for being a species they came up with and then refer to the species board as a backup arguement. That others are not being creative enough. Maybe even Tell them to look different?
I know, this accuse part could happen inside the game without a species board anyway. But then it would be words against words atleast.
Maybe it wont happen, but I just don't like the idea right now. Maybe I have something more to it. But arrp.
-
I Say yes.
My Reasons:
1. For Fun, People love to make Species and Just Show around. What about Rules also, on the Species (ex. Have to have one picture, needs to be 2 Paragraph long)
2. The Imaginary Rises, When People look at other species, they Will get Ideas.
3. People Get to know How you think and See Things better. Getting to know ya.
Yet, as some reasons Said, It not much of a worry, More Reason I think?
1. Arguments, Like Red said (Ex. YOU STOLE MY BLOOD LINE ADEA! /Rage&Stupidstuff)
2. Spam, Such as, People hardly Telling you How they Look, act Etc etc.
3. ..I forget LMAO
-
I say yes, too.
-
Yes. Otherwise the boards are gonna be messy and stuff with people not knowing where to post it, plus as most have stated, imagination and creativity.
-
Yes for me. It would be a good way for creativity, though I can see issues forming with people yelling: "You stole me idea!"
-
I have seen many people with creative signatures with many nice species, so I'm gonna say yes. I do get Red's point though [it's weird to say that, 'cause Red is my nickname o.o'] so I might eventually switch opinions...
-
Oh yes! I never put my species down mainly because I was waiting for this site to pop up. Though I doubt anyone would bother with mine it would still be fun to post up a reff sheet and then make th post all pretty <3~.
-
i think its a good idea although the occasional spammer but spammers can be dealt right? so im voting for yes :]
-
I think that making a species board would be fun. Creative folks on this forum can show off their creations and how they think as well as see the way others think and create things. :D
-
I think that some kind of documentation of species should exist, but i don't know if a open forum is the right thing.
-
@Emerald: Yeah, that was what I was thinking too ... at some point the "Presets" suboard could prove enough... I think..
-
Yes! :D
-
I'm not exactly crazy on the idea, but I guess so. :-\
As long as no one accuses & argues, and all that junk.
-
I was also thinking the same thing (From one of you X3)
Why create new species, though, when you have presets to show off? x3
-
Cub says yes. I have this idea for a species that's about half-feline, half-canine, but not a hybrid. I'd really like to share this idea, but I don't know where to put it.
-
Yes :]
-
I fully agree with the species section. As a few others have said above, without a board designated for everybody's species threads, the roleplay section would definitely get cluttered. Pride threads would mingle with species threads, people would lose their threads amongst others, etcetera etcetera.
As for Red's statement concerning accusations toward others, yes, that's quite possible. If one were to post their species thread, and someone sees it that just happens to have a character who resembles said species, a quarrel could possibly brew and lead to some unnecessary drama. Same thing goes for someone who aims to create their own species; they could accuse another person for "stealing" their idea, when in reality it's kind of first-come-first-serve.
Despite all of that, though, it's nothing that a simple, tranquil, "Will you please edit your character/species a bit to prevent confusion~?" couldn't fix, or an administrator taking action depending on how out-of-hand a situation may be. People should know what actions are appropriate and inappropriate in a forum community, and if they don't, then they should simply be taught.
So, overall, I have no problem with a species thread, nor do I think the risks outweigh the benefits. It'd be necessary in my case, as well as most people here, as there's a good chance we all have species we'd like to share with the public.
-
I agree with a species section.
Many because I have so many different species I need to sort out xD
-
I gotta say yes, people love sharing their creations to others and hearing their opinions. X3

Couldn't agree more. Next time you know it, you'll be accused of stealing a WhateverFeline species and be asked to change your char's look. I mean. The editor only lets you do so much when it comes to body shape and whatnot. You can't copyright a certain look and tell people not to use it because it's your own creation made from limited body shapes. I have my own made up species and all that, but they are unique and cannot be created at all in the character edito.
I just hope people won't b*tch about this.
-
Sure, why not. If no one posts in it then might as well remove it; but if people flood it then keep it.
-
Hurry up and make one xD
My Species want to get good Members LOL.
-
Since i'm sorting out boards now, I shall make one due to the vote results!
It'll be a child board in General Roleplay.
