[OOC] Are we gonna roleplay or not??
Okay, it seems that we've been talking about roleplaying, making characters for roleplaying, making fun of roleplaying, & planning on roleplaying... but are we gonna get around to actually roleplaying or not????
I MUST KNOW!
Seriously, we've had this board for long enough that we should have something started!
And if we're not going to roleplay, then what's the point of having this board?
I say we plan something out, even if it's a crappy little crossover anime rp...

Re: [OOC] Are we gonna roleplay or not??
Well, maybe we should roleplay as one of the hundreds of anonymous students lining the halls of the school? Not a Duellist, not a Black Rose Duellist, not Akio, Mikage, Utena or Anthy, but just plain "zombie students?"
Read the fanfic Scenes From an Elevator at http://www.dreiser.net/utena.html if you want to know about zombie students.

Re: [OOC] Are we gonna roleplay or not??
I am currently waiting for Yasha and J to send me their characters. Once I have those we can get started. So... spork them into action.
Life is short: break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

Re: [OOC] Are we gonna roleplay or not??
I must spork Yasha then. And _J_. Hehe, spork.
Actually, I have to add in the extra points you gave us for our quote.
I'm very eager to get to roleplaying. Spork, spork.

Re: [OOC] Are we gonna roleplay or not??
Um. Hi. 
I no speak roleplayingese, but I was thinking, with the maturity level around here as high as it is, it might be interesting to just let everyone loose in the school. Design yourself a character or whatever as a personality and just go at it, don't even tell us their personality, after all, no one knows that stuff when they first meet. As for interacting with specific characters, if everyone agrees on a couple basic ground rules, why just write them on our own as we go along?
I have no idea what I'm thinking of or how it would work, but it looks to me like everyone's tied up in the planning stage. Why not toss the planning stage and just see where we take ourselves just running with things?
Seems like it would work to me if everyone is mature about it and devoted to making an interesting story, as opposed to, say, raping their favorite character repeatedly. (Unless we're talking about Touga, who is entirely in character screwing the new girl in class.)
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

I think that sounds like a great idea!
And I'm not even a Touga fan!

Sounds like a sound plan, good Gio. We should be trying it out sometime. Maybe I'll write up a RP thread similar to what you described. Thanks for the inspiration!

Re: [OOC] Are we gonna roleplay or not??
Well, folks...I'm gonna go forth and make an RP thread. I'll post the rules inside, and give some starter info to help everybody understand the storyline. It will help if you've seen at least the first seven episodes or done some serious research in order to get the full plotline.
Look for "The Faceless Masses," coming soon to the Roleplaying Forum!
