This has always bothered me so i might as well say it, Why can/do people write on boards that should be hidden or in places other than where their own citizenship is? i think that worthless post should not be allowed in places such as the Knights of Kallahorn board when the writer is of Varshikar, Trollsbane, or Silverbrand the boards are not for whoever wishes to write on them are they? there not all where everyone can post as they wish are they? I know that i have done it also but its in times of war and i post threats or many other things. posts like this

preaty well piss me off because they have no meaning and are in many ways worthless. when RPing most would roleplay that they have a limited ammount of wall space and things like this would not be tolerated. I may be wrong but i am posting but i would like to hear other opinions.
I think the whole concept of having a wall to write on is stupid, but thats just me. There are lots of free php boards you can create if you don't want it veiwable/repliable by everyone.
thats not the point of Rping, the game doesnt say anywhere just because people cant be stoped from typeing anywhere that its alright to do it anywhere and it also dosent say that you have to make your own website to keep others from looking at it...looking is a totally different thing, posting is what i am talking about.
true, but there are ALOT of senseless posts that should be PMs, like moathias post for example
Most of the posts on the guilds forum is for guild discussion, little comments like moathias ((sorry to beat up on this, but its already thrown out there)) would be a hell of alot more convinient as a PM. It's irritating to see pointless comments like that which have no real meaning.
Where is your blackboard ingame? is it in trolls bane? in varshikar? hidden somewhere? as long as there is no comment at the beginning it is at a place where you can read it, and write messages.
you use it to announce messages. so it is viewable for everyone. so everyone may write something to it too.
well we all know nothing will stop hadrian abela from posting nonsense
and about people posting on guild forums, the way i see it, is that its rude to post on THEIR space, but its completely fine to post their, it just shows the personality of the poster
you to are compleaty missing the point...Galim if i went arround posting on Silverbrands board punishment IG would happen, you may or may not be involved in Silverbrand but i know you used to be.
Gro'bul like i said in times of war i post threats and i do disagree with my and all the other Knights postings but worthless post in threads that the player has nothing to do with are not needed and in my opinion bad RP, as are all other post that are not in the proper threads, the Guilds board to me is a place where Guilds talk with out being IG all at the same time, RPG thread is where all threats and other nonsence post should be, i know i cannot change people but i want to bring to somes atention about this.
This Topic is about proclamations of the 'Kingdom of Silverbrand'.
This is no place for discussions about the posts in here.
This Topic is entirly IC.
This is no Guild, so dont ask if you can join, apply for Citizenship at the Town InGame.
Before you post anything here, please consider the option to send me a PM. Please do not spam this topic.
Thanks for respecting these Points
this is at the first post in the silverbrandboard or thread. i see nothing like that in the kallahornthread, so it is free for everyone.
there shouldn't have to be OOC for people to realize that its not for them! it not that freeking hard to get. if your not involved in any way dont post its very very simple. in RL do you have some one controing you telling you "nope thats the government's property cant go there" or "oh i can butt in on the governments plans/ideas/convorsation and no one be ticked" its very simple, just dont post on something that you have nothing to do with.
The entire concept is stupid. A Bulleitin Board would have been used to post Notices like "Guild meeting tommorow at" or "Reward for the finding of a golden rings, Contact Amilia Applebottem" not the idol chitter chatter its used for now. I admit though I've used it for just the reasons I was against.
I have a much larger problem with these storys on the roleplaying board, I just don't get why they are there. No one not involved should even be allowed to read them because it will simply effect their Roleplay for OOC reasons.

Because sometimes people need to play 2 of their characters in one scene, or they need to RP something with someone out of their timezone.
It is simply Rumors. If someone is massicured infront of the town square, would not a single soul go without word of it in real life? And sometimes the RPG board is used for OOC reasons. Say a person was in the hospital, they couldent make the date set for an event. but with the help of the RPG boards they can put their character in the scene, and react in the aftermath.
Everyone desreves a fair slice of the RP. And real life cant get in the way with the help of the RPG board.
I wanted people to be able to reply on the Knighthood of Kallahorn guild page as it does add roleplay. But I do regret that fact that random people can write senseless things, never to be caught (even when stephen should be able to recognize their handwritings).
But if it does continue ill have to make it member only can reply there. I dont mind if you have something senseful to write on it, something more then some anoynmous threat, then i am happy you wrote, but if it is just some "your knighthood is stupid, evil and good are not real, i really cant complain properly why this is but i believe so,
signed your murderer"
then i will make it so only members can write on it.
Looking at the first line posted on the alledged thread:
The Knighthood of Kallahorn would like to introduce itself to the peoples of the island who are unfamiliar with it.
I think it's no mystery whether the messages on this thread were posted on an open board to the public or a private one. Since the format of the first post of any thread is significant to how it's used and viewed, that is where using a dislcaimer might come in handy, even though it doesn't stop someone from forcefully pinning a public message on top of your public message, and why a seperate private board is still the only sure way to have member-only communication.
To the notion of people posting messages after messages to each other like a conversation on an rped board: Yes, that would be an unlikely and not highly realistic istuation. However, where this decreases "roleplay" quality in one way, it also takes a long and somewhat complex route and comes back to faciliate roleplay for a resulting high net gain that justifies its usage. I found this to be also true for a lot of things that might've have seemed bad for Illarion at preliminary glance.
preaty well piss me off because they have no meaning and are in many ways worthless.

Oh yes, except that Moathia ((Moathia, not PO Moathia, remember that)) put it there on purpose, it's actually part of role play. Also Salathe like I said in reply to the midly offensive pm you sent me, it's one red line though the names not a scribble thorugh them.

As Dyluck wrote, there is the possibility to put a disclaimer in the first post at the guild-board. If there is a disclaimer and someone missused the topic, I will delete this post as moderator (after sending me a PM with the wish for deletion [it is impossible to keep all different disclaimers in mind]).
i still think its perfectly fine to post on any post in the guilds forum, but its still THEIR space, so its rude to post there, it just shows your chars personality when they do waste the space

If you dont want to erad an RPG Post, then dont read them.
Topics to avoid:
Diarys,
anything that wouldent sound like it would be put on a scroll,
and if you even open the topic, dont read if it is in itallic.
Heh... That doesn't susprise me.
"Topics to avoid", pffff.
And this is why I still remember you saying you wanted to find on the Web some tips for a better roleplaying while these tips and hints are all here. But, yeah, someone just made those posts so they could be avoided, right?
I lied accualy. I was trying to find a game with people on my stadart of roleplay at the time
But, i dont read your diary simply becuase of mass size, and my characters wouldent read it anyways. I dont quite get why you would make a Diary to be honest, but i could mabey say it was for background purposes.
Your roleplay isn't bad, Ziel. The only problem with it, at least in the past, was you trying to become a famous hero in one day. And since Olar isn't like that, I think you are developing, so... no need to find another name.
And about Kamik's diary... well, I wasn't complaining about you reading or not, but you creating a rule to which post read.
And as for my "rule" i was simply suggesting if he didnt like the post then dont read them. nothing more. Also, you proboly know there are TWO diarys now, so nothing was directed at you.
But, this isnt about me or you. This is about the RP post.

First of all i dont make useless post in, or even read, threads that have nothing to do with me. And you seriously dont have to. My account could care less about the poeple joining and leaving Kallahorn, or some united carpenter guild. Or even the burial of Galim. And on that note, have you ever seen me post in one of those threads?
No. I havent.
And if you dont know what im saying, ill put it in a one line summary:
"Dont care? Dont post."

You, the PO, may not care. But in an island currently in crisis and disaster, I think the people would like some information from the only place they can get instead the mouth-to-mouth. These parchments.
But anyway... that is just what I am thinking and someone already said I am thinking too much today.
