I was thinking more along the lines of NPC type characters that the Moderators can use or not.
Example:
Joey Miller: Weapons dealer
Mikey Nicholson: Missions
Doc Carrington: Medical attention and yearly checkups
Something like that. I know main characters come and go like the breeze. But in a place like Vegas especially where the Virus is almost non-existent it could serve as a hub of missions for new characters and members to get acclimated to the site and meet other members. Kinda like a actual game with a starting place. LOL I'm just rambling on here.

My idea is a bit more for those that are new to rping, I noticed on a few sites when people don't understand how to make a character or don't understand the rules on a site they quit, so what if some people around the site could like donate some time into pre-made characters. All the "new to rp person" has to do is fill in the personality, history, etc.
This would be great for more people to come and not leave in a few seconds. Maybe after roaming around the new person could make their own character.

Shakku, the big problem we have around here as far as characters go....is people failing at character history, personality, and appearance.

We already do that, Shakku. With Basic characters. Not much info is needed. My 13 year old cousin figured it out. Literally spent 10 minutes on the character, accepted, and roleplay. Right from the getgo.
But thanks for the input, that was a problem. Shouldnt be anymore, however. And if your having that issue, then you should read the character guidelines about Basic characters.

We most definitely do the whole NPC Mission shiz. But, the problem with that is that people tend to get pushy and the majority of our time is then dedicated to that of 'Progressing' a story with someone that doesn't quite catch the grip.
I for one have tried it when Marlboro was made for Tricell people.
But, people should be able to team up and make their own story.

Gonna sound hard to believe, but it was all me. It took me awhile, too, because I had a hard time finding the admin controls to do so. But yeah, it is a good idea, for sure. Now they can stay there for as long as they need to be, without cluttering up the actual character page.
If anybody has anymore suggestions or comments, please let us know.

I was thinking,and this would be for fun nothing else to do purposes,that the staff could create a thread in the "In Character" board for people characters to do holiday related things.For example during christmas people could use ONE character of their choosing for an "Office Party" type scene.They could talk to other people's characters and party or whatever without it interfering with the characters actual current rp.However the celebration of whatever holiday would need to actually be on that date.It would also be fun to make something like this without the holiday,like peoples characters could just hang out.

Throwing this out there. The cbox might operate better at the top of the site, beneath the main banner, rather than the bottom. Members won't need to scroll through the whole forum in order to reach it and it's closer to the non-RPing sections of the site, hopefully inciting more conversational energy into the boards and their threads.

Lets give it a shot, and just see if people like it. Since its gonna be IMPOSSIBLE for everybody to vote on it, I know how much active members actually read these threads.

There should still be some advertisement removal tokens left in the admin dashboard too, if you want to get rid of that ugly advert banner up the top of the page.

Perhaps include a arcade on the site? A Writers/Artwork section for stuff that isn't related to Resident Evil. I was looking for a section so I could post but the forum didn't have one.. *SAD FACE*
Also maybe a forum awards/badges system.

Theres plenty of those threads already, post up your stuff in the Off Topic section, just make a new thread. But if its a drawing you did, you can post it in the thread for that. You already know about it, posted in there before. You can use that.
As for a badge system, we kinda had it. People do things, special things, and I can go in and give them special titles. Notice the use of the word special, lmfao. I could give you a title once you make a name for yourself here, and get a little role. Like Big Boss is easily the sites... whatever it is he does everytime he opens his mouth. Miles is the cartoonist. We gave titles away for christmas events and stuff, but like, im sure we could work something out. Ill give people titles after theyve shown that theyre going to be active and not leave after a few weeks.

Oh alright I will just post my poems in the off topic section and I hope that I do get a special title in the future. Edit: * Lie To Me - you post 3 things about yourself, people guess which is the lie. I got some ideas for forum games * Describe the poster above you * The Rhyming Game - each poster gets one line, must rhyme with the above. A new sentence = a new rhyme * Screening Movies - post pics of screengrabs from a film, people have to guess which film * 3 word story - each poster gets 3 words to add to a story * The Actor Role Movie Challenge - name one actor and the character they play in a movie and the movie its self.

Well, we already have a gazillion forum games, some of which you posted are already used. But I like the Lie To Me one, lets make that.
