Hey folks,

Has anyone besides me considered doing this? The only place I ever really sucessfully roleplayed was here on BYOND, Tara'ka more specifically.

I was considering turning this account, or possibly grabbing another key and paying for a membership for it to put together a guild, but I don't know if anyone else would be too horribly interested?

Vote, wee.
I believe there's a BYOND RPG guild. Sounds to me like the guild your planning on making is the same as this guild here.
I've made a roleplaying guild. Check my members page.
Well, the "BYOND RPG" guild is more or less dedicated to listing/promoting the games on BYOND that fit into the RPG category (as each of the official BYOND guilds serve this purpose for their respective categories)...

It sounds like this proposed guild might be more focused on the actual art of roleplaying itself, which might be enough to distinguish it...
I think the word 'RPG', in the sense the that BYOND RPG guild uses it, more implies a game with level or stat-based progression. Something like Final Fantasy or any number of other games where you pick between Fighter, Mage, etc. and kill monsters to gain experience and level up.

Roleplaying's an entirely different beast, aimed more at creating interesting character concepts and playing out stories and dialogue between them. Oftentime the two intertwine, but one doesn't necessarily imply the other.
Well, in either case, we do need a RP guild. Mine's not exactly the best way to go, seeing as how I'm using my key for it.

If we raise enough money, sure.

What she said.
I tried to make a key entitled BYOND Roleplay, but BYOND is a reserved keyword.

What should the key be named, then?

Money?
For the membership. Again, what should the key for the guild be?
Role Players Guild, perhaps? Not BYOND RP guild.
I think "RPG" stands for "Rapid Point Gain," as that's the main point of most of those games. :P
I'd be fine with covering the membership cost, $15 for a year isn't an issue, Roleplayers Guild or something similar to that would work as a key.
Well, sure, go ahead and make it. I have one request though...

Let me post on the blog n stuff?

I roleplay alot, and I like to organize events and such.
Mmkay, well, key created. This Thursday I'll drop $50 into my paypal or something and get the membership going. Thanks for voting folks.
Wewt!

Dragon Ball Z Ahoy!
Aud is right.
A guild actually dedicated to full-on role-playing would definitely have a place. Why not go for it?
Because we've already decided to. K'ros is making this guild within the next 24 hours, supposedly.
