Let's ignore who owns what thread. It's not important. Since we all agree the rewards system isn't happening, for now, let's stop focusing on that.

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING REWARDS SYSTEM! lol Really. It's not going to happen, that's already been stated. Enough of it. xP Then stop bringing it up. Simple. Except that there are many threads based on interaction alone. Please don't go assuming character here just wants to knife everyone they meet.

Then stop bringing it up. Simple. Same to you. But I thought everyone assumed that of Krystal.

I didn't bring it up. You did. =)
Yes, this is a board based on interaction. I'm just remembering the last Ymaggion board that was nothing but people blowing each other up because they were bored with the conversation. What I'm saying is that it's just another means of exploring creativity out of character, and creating more relationships and interacting with more well rounded characters.

Then stop bringing it up. Simple. Same to you. Okay. She prefers her fists. Pshaw. I didn't bring it up. You did. =) And I was quoting you, who was bringing it up. Considering your generalization here, I highly doubt you even much looked around the original board. There were atleast a chunk of topics dedicated to relashionships. And not to mention the board was based on an online game, and thus battles are to be expected at some point. Please, don't compare this to that, especially since this is more based on Drysnia than anything.

I don't think Drysnia's something Risk's familiar with. But yes, right now the site has already made leaps and bounds on the interpersonal relationships of characters department from what Epsilon was.

It's funny how you've stopped talking about the subject at hand and started telling me how difficult I'm being. Perhaps you would care to provide more of your opinion on the board and less on my opinions of the last site? Seeing as I was only there for a month before we moved here, and the only threads that were active at that point were about killing each other, I'd say you guys were kind of plummeting into that kind of a setting. But regardless, the more chance characters here have for interaction, and the more interesting places there are for that interaction to take place, the more activity we'll see if you ask me.
Hey look. You brought it up again! =D

on second thought, though, I do see the logic behind considering that level of specification to be excessive.
being TOO organized will make several boards feel empty, as the post count in them will be unnaturally thin. too many options and several people will feel intimidated.
it also ends up just as cluttered in a different way, or could give the impression that the board is managed in an OCD manner if things are split up too much.
in short, simplification is just as important as specialization, and while I can work out an idea to make it work, it still seems excessive to dedicate an entire board to something that should be an element of a story, or a genre of a story that could fit in somewhere else.

So you're nullifying your own idea then. Fine, then I'll take it up as my own. =D
I really do think that a board dedicated to employment setting could be very progressive and substantial in the growth of this forum, even just with the few members we do have.

If its okay with everyone else, we can attempt a trial run for such a board to see if it works. But as I said before, Risk, it's up to you to make the description sheet for it.

I think advertising is a more pressuring concern, or at least, having people to test it on, but there's nothing wrong with preparation.
it's just that this experiment doesn't have enough people for a study.

It's funny how you've stopped talking about the subject at hand and started telling me how difficult I'm being. Because that also has to do with the topic at hand. You've been shoving yourself into the matters at hand. By pointing out how your logic isn't working, it also helps to demote your ideas. So basically you're saying you brought up an out of place opinion on your own accord despite not even being close to having enough experience there to begin with? Bringing something up and then trying to shove it on others doesn't work. Yes, but I doubt the job apps for money is a good way to go about it. Plus, action is as important as dialogue in this place. Quoted for irony.

Agreed there, but I'm willing to give it a chance in the meantime. Or at least implement it when more people are back from the clusterfuck of life.
On another RP site Ribitta and I were on, Song of Storms, a similar dilemma was apparent. A lack of activity. People thought up ways to try and interest people and getting activity up, but another new member pointed out the only real way of getting activity up in our level was for people to actually post and participate.

I'm just better at coming up with ideas than I am at creating plots. if it's not logically working something out, I'm not that good at it.
then again, I have been thinking about doing D&D, or some PbP. currently signed up for a M&M group with a digimon theme over at the spoony experiment.
