As you can read in the title, I want to suggest these things. In the past time, there were several instances where I didnt know where to post certain things.
Things like that (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=8475.msg73075#new) or things like that (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=1609.0)could be placed there. Alsoplustoo, maybe it could benefit the feel of a "community" if we could also discuss things here, about the general fallout canon. Yeah Yeah, I know there is NMA and DaC, but I would like to keep things straight to one community.
I have more then 4 thread ideas in mind for a start if this gets real. :)
Also, a roleplaying board could REALLY benefit the game and the forum. For an example, just look at the awesome Forum Roleplay Board the german Site "FalloutNow" (http://www.falloutnow.de/forum/index.php) has. Thousands of quality posts provided by a rather small community. Also, things started with roleplaying could be played again in FOnline if the story is real fleshed out and the forum/text gamemaster is really good. I would suggest myself as a Game Master for Forum based Roleplaying, but there are others too I would think they could push it to a better level.
Of course, just suggestions. Just wanted to hear about the general acceptance of the people dwelling here. :)

God, I would squirt off in my pants if we would have a roleplay forum. :o
-
Yeah, in fact it is very suprising there is no roleplay forum yet. It could be also used for annoucing player made events which have something to do with RP at least a bit...
-
I supremely like a RP subforum. It would let me write there instead of having to post things to General discussions, which it... really isn't. I put thought into what I write, and having it lost beneath whine threads is... irksome. Not everyone would have an interest of course, though it would be nice if those who did could look a little easier at finding such things. Not to mention, I enjoy RP (though probably not forum stuff. I has a distaste for non-realtime RP, i.e. chat).
Any superiors read this, like and maybe implement this, I definitely want in. 8)
-
YES YES YES i love this idea!
I was starting to think i should make one but you just made my day.
I would say a totally big yes, and if i can help in anything just let me know.
-
YES, YES, YES, YES! Want it! Give it to me!!!

While we are suggesting additional sub forums:
A flaming board (unmoderated) could REALLY benefit the game and the forum. For an example, just look at the awesome Forum Fight Club Board the english Site "AzureL2 (http://forums.azuregaming.net/forumdisplay.php?f=145)" has. Thousands of quality posts provided by a rather small community. Also, things started with flaming could be played again in FOnline if the flame is real heated and the forum PvPer is really hardcore.
Ok, jokes aside, now the serious part of why I am suggesting this, and I really do believe it will benefit the community (at least those involved in PvP and who don't take the internet seriously):
Currently, Gang Issues, is being used for anything but what it was intended for (Just take a look for yourself at a couple of threads). I primarily believe this has to due with the strictness of moderation in the sub-forum. I am also puzzled as to why allow people to get mad if threads with minimal flaming get locked. Instead of Gang Issues, I suggest it gets replaced with an unmoderated sub-forum like Flame Section, or maybe "The Hole" if you really want to get creative; with post count being disabled, viewable by only registered users and of course nothing illegal can be posted.
Potentially, this would benefit the community in two ways: First, it allows a healthy venue for the community to act "silly" and joke around without repercussions; allowing the community to become more animated.
Second, less nonsense and flaming in other sections, such as recruitment or general (We all remember threads like "OMG! this guy kill me"), which would relieve stress on the moderators and focus the corresponding sections on what they are suppose to achieve.
-
This is a really bad suggestion.
People arent supposed to flame there like little 4year old kids. One doesnt need bad words and insults to settle down things
-
Yeah I agree some kind of flame allowed subforum would be beneficial. After all these kind of threads are quite entertaining.
Maybe just don't lock the threads in junk section...
-

This is true, in fact, you just need time to settle down, however I fail to see why this would make my suggestion bad. Primarily, I suggested this out of entertainment and for people to have a jolly time. The people who would act as 4 year olds, as you say, will only make themselves the laughing stock of the community (Remember Xoen?). Flame forums aren't only about insults and bad words (flaming), it is also about expression of the wit. If someone feels like their blood pressure will go up, just shouldn't visit this part of the forum. The words Flame Section, would probably be a misnomer (as I just explained), therefore calling it The Hole, would be more suitable.

You mean another thread moderate by police ?
A like this idea, subforums for different things like RP and etc, but not under control by someone as you ...
-
Thanks Hololasima. We understood your personal crusade about this evil, bad german dude, but please now either you settle down this using PMs or either you calm down. I don't want to read other posts that make me feel I'm reading a 13-years-old-teenager's diary (fock the police, fock surf solar he is GM, etc).

There was my opinion about this idea ... A like this idea, subforums for different things like RP and etc
And btw : Its not about that he is GM, it doesnt matter for me. He is moderator, its worst ...
-
There can never be an unmoderated forum, imho. This is the internet. Do not trust people. Due to the content of the internet, I would not feel right leaving an area unmoderated. You want to flame? Make your own flame-chat somewhere and invite people. There is no reason to have more than what is present in that regard on this forum.
Edit: Also, lets get back on topic. This was about an original RP subforum. You want a flame area, create your own thread and lets keep the discussion there and out of this, please.

Yeah, i like the role play. But i hope role play support will not stop by creating role play subforum. I have in my mind story, kind of quest that could be ingame created without NPCs, only by players. Problem is dual log rule, because i will need 2 computers for most actions of that.

maybe got some friends... omg

Another troll post: you dont understand it, i will not explain details of my idea :P, but for some parts of my idea one player have to use 2 computer. In general!, it is because of overview of this player made quest process, if the process should not fail.
But it is only one example of role play support from developers (GM). Another example: one our member needed robe for some kind of social experiment in the game. It had to supercede the absence of devs made content.. the result = no support, even that project had more than 30 members.
So idea about role play subforum is nice, but without anytnig more it could be usefull like condom machine in Vaticane.

I am sure you heard about voice communication and cooperation with other players... if it can be used for PvP, I am sure it will work for RP the same way... dont look for excuses, try to figure out way how to do it...

You dont get it. Absolutely. But because you did not tried to create something like this, you dont have to apologize for your smallness :P

If you need more then one player character in a certain quest ( like the valves in the tanker quest) or want to roleplay more then one character then grab a friend and do it. ::)
This discussion has btw nothing to do with the topic, please return to the original one.
-
Uh yeah. Guys like you are surely welcome at the roleplay section. 8)
I hope Surf Solar or someone else will elect who has access to the section and who has not. If we ever get such a section...

Solar, Izual, this suggestion thread is useless because there is no real reason, why not open another 2 subforums (and ask players, who have minimal rights to make a choice in 2238)
Example of quest mechanics i need 2 computers:
Imagine stituation, than NPc chars are replaced by players = PC. There is classic quest system: you go to PC 1., some chat, questions,.. then you go to PC 2.,... . I need 2 computers for reason, that i need to control, if every players who are talking to PC2 were already talking to PC1.. Imagine situation, that there will be 20,50,100 players names, you will have to ask again and again. Also there are russian nicks...
And many more, if you did not tried this kind of content replace, you dont see the problems and you say, use friend. It is not possible. Howgh. So your llimiting antialting have side effect in this ways.

I openend this thread to see if there is a niche for this interest and if enough people are interested, nothing more.
And at your "special excuse" todual log - all you need is a friend and some outsource communication program. Nothing more. Did such things countless times and never needed alting/dual logging. And now stop derailing the thread.

Russian nicks? No way. And there is a lot of another ones i did not explain. If i wll have time to realize it, i wil ljust log 2 computers and hope that i will have enough speech to succeed with this quest.

We should also have "settlers 2238" (crafting) and "PvE" subforums. Would be great actually
-
rp sub forum sounds great :D
-
this sugestion sounds great!!!
-
Great idea, especially for improving RPG experience in game, which honestly I will say doesn't exist. Maybe this will encourage players to RPG projects
-
Maybe it will be the best way to find people interested in roleplay on this server. So i vote for "yes" :)

Resurrecting this topic as we're considering to maybe open one right now. Rereading the post here again, it has come to my attention, that some people maybe got a wrong idea what will/could happen in that certain subforum. It is not meant to be a place where you post your roleplay projects you are leading ingame, it is kind of a "storyboard". Usually in most fora's roleplaying boards, there are 1-2 gamemasters, a thread to pin all the participants character sheets in, and GM controlled 1-2 threads were the actual story takes place. The GM provides the story, the enviroment, the players post incharacter in said topics, where everything can happen etc. An english example may be the NMA RP Boards (http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4), however they have many different threads/stories at the same time going on and lack Game Masters as far as I can tell. Now, I'd like to know, if some people still would be interested in said forum over here, or not. If interest isn't too high - then it's ok too - it's an experiment after all and an alternative for people who may have a hard time to do proper Roleplaying in the game.

i agree with Surf example.
There should be a posibility of do RP in-game, it isnt impossible, you can RP in all places, you only need imagination, stuff like 20 guys in the Maltese Falcon typing ".edrinks" sounds weird.
what about a ghoul pk wich is killing near NCR and is talking about his history to his victims?
and if there is a hidden treasure in the wastes and the instrucctions to get there are hide in a Holotape left in some hide place, or in some merchant?
Holotapes are good to tell storyes, we dont need superprojects to RP, we only need imagination, and players interested, AND DONT SACRIFICE THE NORMAL PLAYING IN PRO OF RP. you can be RP and be killer, pk, apk, suicide bomber, etc. exept pwnzor obviously.
Anyway that is not what Surf says, but his proposition sounds nice to me, it maybe is a waste of time, or maybe is a good RP project (at last), but there is only one way to know it.
-
I support this idea.
-
Good idea is good idea.
Or is there hole in my logic? :P
-
yes!
