A suggestion.. O__O

[Kismet]

Works for me.

When you say reset, does that mean you'll start the original plot all over or are you planning on coming up with another plotline? Do you know how long that will take?

[obekant]

The latter, and if the RP staff ever stop dragging there asses and get me in, I'll personally make sure that we get a main RP up and running ASAP.

Because saying shit like that will make us want to put you in RP staff as soon as possible.

Also, iffy on the idea. For one thing, the people who RPed in earlier days lose out on all their memories, all their experiences. Our friends sacrificed their lives to help the world. If we redo it, half that can't happen. Bob can't say his final goodbye. Geo, smashbro, and steele can't group together again. All we've got of those people are the memories. And if we reset, we lose those too.

For the other side, this could be good for us. Most of the RPers today weren't here until like, RP4. As they say in Court, Majority rules. And it'd be easy to just delete the RP over. We could have an "actual plot" and "start out fresh" Though, if it sucks, I'm gonna kill people.

Consider me 60-40 on this, but still undecided for now.

[obekant]

Considering that Bob and Steele left, and that smashbro and Geo are barely active, I don't think that will be a problem. Besides that, I think smashbro and Geo wouldn't mind altering their characters to suit the changes.

Then again, that's just an observation of mine, I can't say that for sure.

You don't know geo like i do, he hated the fact that he had to re do his Geo application, what would make you think he would want to re start the entire thing? There is a reason why he dosent come on here anymore. Everything he has known has changed, the people, the attitude, the way we RP. Hell he still dose script writing and you know what, he dosent care that he dose, but the fact that there will and are people who criticize how he RPs. The past RPGs we had, we didn't have these restrictions, nor any guidelines, we weren't 10 year veterans at different forums or successful writers, we were just people who wanted to have some fun. Smashbro started the RPG, with the help of jukan, who didn't like how smashbro, someone who was new at RPGs in jukans eyes did not know what he was doing. Now Jukan was at a different type of forum, one where there rules and guidelines were the total opposite of what we had. Our RPG wasnt a game with numbers and stats, it was a story that we all helped do. Now the funny thing is, is who is right in all of this?

Was Jukans way the right way to RP? He knew what he was talking about right? No RP should have long stories, immortal Gods, overpowered creatures, it should have stats, a god damned Final Fantasy Game. Or Was smashbros way the right way? He had no idea what he was doing, but what we had was a bunch of people who didn't either, who created something from the heart, we had our imagination, we didn't have rules that was Yes or No, we could have immortality, Gods, good and evil, and we could all do it in a story, and one that had been successful for 2 years we have 4 full complete RPGs. Are we an RPG? Are we a story? Are we basing ourselves off someone else s expectations of what we should be because they don't see it right?

Why should I give up something I had, that i worked for for 2 years to have taken away from me because they weren't around for what I had? Now i may be sounding greedy, but im also upset at the fact that It has come to this. People come in here complaining about, oh i dont know what is going on in the story and oh its so confusing, TAKE THE FUCKING TIME TO READ WHAT THE HELL WE HAVE DONE! There is a god damn RPG there for you to look at, if you didn't have a clue by then after you read something, then ask someone like me, and I could have helped you in on this. But nope, they dont bother and here we are today.

I cant win, Im not Kismet or Devaux, I cant use my insane logic to convince you, im not angel, I cant get attention like she can, im not anyone but myself. And Right now, Im just the last of my Kind still standing.

[kunekune]

Maybe we can have the characters that were in the old RP retain their memories, sort of like flashbacks they can use to help them in the new RP. I'm not a fan of just scrapping everything but it seems like a fresh start is needed.

The characters can have memories of the life they had before (BB your character can keep all of his memories, so in a sense it would be the same guy, no need to modify an application again). It's not the best solution, but it's an idea :/

Now that right there is a thing o' beauty. I'm giving up my position to stand by you. As a storyteller and a friend, we stand for what we stand for our past, present, and future. A bunch of pointless maniacs who don't know what the hell there doing is what a REAL RP is. There's a difference between an RP and an RPG, by my view. An RPG should be full of stats, guidelines, limits, and a straight story. But an RP? Nope! An RP is more of a story. Role Playing is acting in the shoes of another, doing whatever the hell you think is right. An RPG is putting yourself in another's shoes and following what the builder of the straight road. You steer off the road, you're dead. You steer off the road in an R and .... WTF you're flying! RP's are from the purest part of each human being for what they think and will do. Godly characters is all the fun of an RP. People use common sense and NOBODY dies, really. How the hell did Mario beat everybody in all of his games? He's a godmodder! He's "unstoppable". Link? Best godmod swordsman there is! Samus, godmodding bounty hunter. We're surrounded by godmodding game characters and they're in the RP. They never really die.... they get respawned and crap...whats wrong with us doing that? Kin, I stand by you.

[Kismet]

Let's just put it to a vote.

[Mariomasher]

MM votes keep old RP

[Angel]

Okay.

Number one, what does looking back on the past RP's mean? It means looking back at the epic adventures, the history, etc. If we made a new storyline, would this stop people from being able to look back? No.

If we keep the RP the way it is, will that change anything for the bad? Either way, Bob Snicket left the RP. You can look back at it as the ending of RP4, a terrific ending a that. The departing of friends, the conquering of evil and the retaking of their world.. and make a new storyline, still remembering the last, or we could limit ourselves and create a future storyline that is broken, troublesome, and etc. But either way Bob Snicket isn't going to be in the RP. That's just a given. The things that were gone, like SLE mentioned are gone and left. We aren't DELETING what happened. Carrying on a baggage of weight is not a suitable remembrance of the past adventures. Looking back at it fondly is not dependent on carrying on the story.

Because honestly, there is like, one, two approved characters that even were around when they were around. In the story, this is no one TO remember them. The people remembering them are us, and we can remember them just the same either way.

Anyone who actually looks at the actual pro's and cons of this can see that the pro's of restarting the storyline is the most beneifical of the two choices.

AND FOR THAT ONE PERSON WHO DOES GET A BENEIFIT, I OFFER YOU THIS.

So many characters come from other universes, other lands, and etc. Why not make Kin, from THIS LAND, traveling to the new one? IF you want the Kin that remembers the SSS, remembers all of that, that's fine! Your character can be from this land, but there is no reason why we need to actually keep it. It's just like my Angel that came from Earth. Your Kin came from this Smash Universe to the new one. That way, you can keep your character, his history, his heart, his memories and bring it to a new RP. You can tell the tales of the land you knew, the friends you made in a new world with new friends. Because that what this is.

Angel would love to hear them. I would, my character would. But we are a new forum, we are a new bunch of people.. and a new world is fitting. A new world born from the ashes of the last one, and Big Boss, the one person still dedicated from the old world, joining the new world to fight along with the new people, but carrying on the spirts of the old people.

I think it's fitting. More than that, I think it's beautiful.

Would that be acceptable?
