Title: Group idea/opinion thing
Post by: Lupus116 on November 09, 2016, 01:29:30 am
Okay, I think this is gonna be long so let me brace myself........

Okay I'm ready, where to start... Okay, so this idea also involves loner and rogue characters (characters not in a group/not involved or not for rp). What would it be like if groups all acknowledged each other. I have a lot of rpless characters, and when I go to other groups 99.99% of them don't care. They don't give a pickle some random rogue is in their territory. Now I'm not trying to stay everyone should territory claim, I'm saying, everyone should be acknowledged.

Think if all groups thought of all groups existing, it would create a lot more realistic drama to make a creative spark in role playing. Example time, in case some people aren't following.

One time, I was in a warrior cats group, and a pack has taken over. I alert the clan OOC, and they don't care at all, they say just ignore them block them. But where's the fun in that?!? All my character had to do in that group was go insane over winter, literally that was it. Nothing should be easy, there should be constant fighting and interactions between groups, from a small cat clan, to big dragon group. We all exist, and all want a chance to rp. Well not all, but think, what if everyday was like FHORD. Everyone was constantly rping with each other, even small new groups. And not to mention all the fights. Living in the wild isn't easy, fights should be happening so much, you can't even count em' in your bios!

If all the groups interacted with each other, and didn't pretened something 'didn't happen'. We would have a much more interesting environment to immerse yourself into. Like mentioned, this includes everyone, rogues, loners, small new groups, big old groups, all species, all sizes, even neons. Yes everyone has the right to decline a rp, but I'm saying this should be rare, or at least uncommon. If you think about it, would an animal with a large family to keep safe, just ignore a freaking pack taking over?!?! Of course you OOC, you should be kind and always not force people to rp, but IC, someone should always be ready to defend themself, or their entire family.

Don't ignore anything that happens, even if it happened outside of the 'main rp'. Seriously, when I was in a pack, a pack came and ambushed me and my friend, we were pups. They took my tail, and when the leader got on, she was like just pretend it didn't happen and remove it. SERIOUSLY! I went through 2 hours of rp, stayed on longer than I should have, I could've gotten in trouble. And you want me to say it never happened? Come on! Where's the fun in that?

I think role playing should be thought of like a book, or a large grand story, with no main characters, just groups. If role plays were a book, and you were in a pack, and another group, cats, badgers, etc whatever. In a book, would that pack just pretend those animals or creatures or robot things didn't exist? Heck no, why bring up things you don't react to. Same with role playing, don't ignore anyone. Try to engage role play with a random person not in a group. Make role play like a grand story, with everyone involved and not ignored, no matter what animal or thing they're. No matter how crazy the group is, engage with others, make role playing in feral heart world wide. Make everyday like FHORD.

Wow this is long, I don't think anyone is going to be able to read through my gibberish. If you do understand I will give you a cookie.

Also, I'd like to see what any of you think, if you understand.

Hmmm...this is an interesting idea. Although honestly, group interactions are up to the group leaders themselves. They decide whether they allow other groups to interact or not. Some groups would rather just not get involved with other rps to avoid conflicts.

As Arctic said, it really is up to whoever puts the group together. I really like your ideas. I'm sure there's groups out there that understand where you're coming from with this. I guess it's just a matter of finding the right ones :)

That's the thing I'm ranting about, not meant to be offensive though. It was hard for me to understand my own rant.
I'm also not saying everybody has to stop ignoring, I'm just saying I would like it to be like a book where no one ignored each other.
(at ArcticGalaxy btw)

You didn't come off as offensive to me c:
And yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately it's really up to the other players :/
I've often found that there are two types of roleplay groups. The ones that intermingle with each others and the ones that would rather remain secluded to themselves. Both of them serve a purpose in my opinion. Just wish there was more of the ones that intermingled to balance it out

Same, I'm not going to get in a rant again. But I just wish, everyone acknowledged each other, if you want to be left out that's fine. But for those who do want to rp, don't shut them out.

from what i've seen, that generally would be a bad idea if everyone acknowledged each other. plots and such, etc..
but if someone were to make a side-community with its' own maps and allowed groups to join and would make maps 'territories' including territory skirmishes; battles; and territory take-overs. of course, not in the public maps. i'm all ears.

It's more of an opinion actually, it's somewhat of an idea because simply it seems like one. And I know groups have plots, I'm not saying everyone has to start rping with someone. I'm saying if the person or group is willing and the other group or person is willing, why not rp with one another willing to.

Also, it's funny. When you said if there was a map maybe people would do it, and I have been planning to make a large public map. Now it might have a purpose, thank you for the idea.

I'll move this over to the game discussion board as this appears to be more of an rp/group suggestion/discussion thread rather than an idea for the game itself c:

But aye, I like what you're saying, it would certainly make rp more interesting for everyone. However, some people may find issues with keeping their rp on track with a plot and others may just feel uncomfortable roleplaying with random people etc

I actually agree with you 100%, this is also why I like getting unmapped or public mapped groups. Interactions with other groups to me are pretty fun, I'm not sure why more people don't participate in that mindset but I'm sure there's groups out there that see it like you do.

Even though I like a nice private map, there's no real interactions with outside packs/clans unless they're part of the plot. Which is completely understandable that groups do this to keep things organized.

I guess my point is, maybe mention your opinion to your leader - if they don't want to then you can't really help that I guess. It's just a matter of finding interactive groups I suppose!

They're very rare, but thankfully one group I was in, did let me keep the wound. And it's good to see someone who sees what I'm seeing.
