No not really, at least not anymore.

Unless someone brings it up.

I mean yeah, on Seesaw day you may or may not be free game but most of the time no one really gives a shit.

But the tension or feelings of resentment are still there, just like the way everyone feels that RP/RPOT is always biased no matter how nice the people there try to be.

I'm just throwing it out that insults are still made regardless of the situation, and I don't see the point in this feud except for being annoyed at how everyone's always flaming each other about it. ._.;

So wait, you're using Seesaw Day as an excuse to flame as well? Isn't it enough you're going to be spamming up the place?

Well now you are complaining about the feud, and not RPOT itself.

This really isn't a discussion for here, nor does it pretain to the situation at hand.

I will say however that in your specific case, there is a reason that the OTers don't take to you. But I'm a nice person so I won't say anymore than that.

If you don't expect to be called an Emo on Seesaw day, then you haven't been here that long.

Oh, my mistake. I thought you meant actual insulting.

I still stand by my "complete separation of original and non-original" characters suggestion. That way, you get a more flexible forum for those who want to act out like their favorite characters, and a forum for strict originality and quality role-playing. People currently like to use original characters, and I assume that they'll continue to do so- with "Casual RP" and "Hardcore RP" boards, neither would die. They would each serve their own specific purpose.

Well, the problem is, it's the same people posting the same kind of topics in RPOT over and over again, continuing some kind of long plot, like others said before, by the "elitists". It makes it harder for newer or older members to get into the flow of RPOT, because they're pretty much getting ignored because they want to roleplay about something else. Please don't tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about, because I've actually TRIED to roleplay in RPOT. And don't say that I didn't try much either, most of the time I didn't know what to post because I got ignored most of the time. I don't think there is any way to fix this problem immediatly, what goes on in RPOT is like a never-ending cycle, the same plots, the same people, the same characters, the same shit. Nothing ever changes. I think the solution is to get rid of RPOT for about a month, and maybe clear out all the topics. After a month, when it's brought back, hopefully it will give other people a chance to have some fun in RPOT.
Note; I never said anything about OT being better, and I don't think that OT is better. I'm more of a C-box person, so I'm slightly neutral on this so called "RPOT vs OT war". If you really want my opinion on OT, I can tell you that I don't think it's perfect, but it's been a lot better since the removal of the IUOS. If you think all they do there is bash RPOT, you really need to open your eyes and read OT for once. It definetely has changed, but it's not perfect either.

The fact is there is no RPOT war because the people in the OT just use the forum like it's a *crag* forum.

The RPOT people are the only one's who complain about it, and most of it is just me because I started the Seesaws and I'm still slightly sour from how much everyone was a complete asshole about it.

I could make more points, but everyone would jump on me for them anyway, so there's no point.

How do you enforce the separation of original and non-original characters?

Here's what I was thinking of.

Essentially, there would be a "Character Approval" forum, where there is a set "character sheet" (Similar to the one in the "Original Character List" thread I made) that members would have to fill out when posting their original character. There would be an RP "Council," composed of the most experienced RPers, to review the original character and either approve it or point out what needs improvement, based upon the quality put in to the creation of the original character. If the character is approved, it would be added to a "Character List," and a member could use that character in a stricter and far more traditional RPing forum, for original plots and characters only.

Since people still like to RP as videogame-related characters and the like, there would be a more flexible RP forum where there is no criteria for character approval- alts can come and go as members see fit. That way, you have a place for the serious RPer looking for creativity and originality, and a place where members can bring their favorite games/movies/comics to life.

That is what we had before, and no one used the Role Playing forum. I had to convert RP into a much less stricter version to get people to use it at all.

You have a point; it may cause more harm than good. But, then again, (And correct me if I'm wrong) this was a long, long time ago, in the early days of the site, right? Maybe things have changed since then- RPing is now popular no matter what the case, and it is evident that some people will go to great extents to develop their original characters- if they care so much about their original characters now, they may care about them enough to put them in front of a couple of RP mods to approve or deny, and take them into intense story-driven role-playing.

Another reason why I think we should have a far more stricter RP board to balance out a more casual one is because distinguishing RP and RPOT- making them appear to have a huge difference, far more than the gap they currently have- would probably help generate the notion that each truly is a different board among users, and possibly give them more reason to go in to both boards, instead of one.

Pre-RPOT was a joke.

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO

You have RP and RP Other

RP Other is for RPing with liscensed properties and is flexible.

RP is for original characters and is less flexible due to an approval forum.

This way works, I've seen it work, and it works well.
