Hello PharonLorise,

This is just a simple reminder, just in case you may not know, RP pertaining to the anime Bleach in the anime's universe isn't accepted in our boards EXCEPT for Personal Messages or the Behind The Scenes and For RP Unrelated to Bleach sections.

This is to keep the rp-universe separate from the cannon universe, as to not confuse the two.

If you were already aware of this, awesome!
I just wanted to make sure so that way no unnecessary warnings would need to be given.

Thank you for your time.

I ment for this roleplay to be partaken in a branching website so as to have quicker replys and to not violate policy, but thank you for your friendly reminder.

No problem, thanks for clearing that up!

So... are you saying, this is an Alternate-Universe (AU) Bleach, and Canon Characters do not exist in the RP?

Because...we have a Kenpachi, an Ichigo, a Hitsugaya, etc. in-game, and if they, or any of the other blatantly Canon-playing Players want to RP, they'd have a tough time doing so.

If this is a rule, we might want to impose a Naming Convention that prohibits people 'playing' Canon characters in-game, especially if it's forbidden on the boards.

If it's really all that important to you, you can keep everything canon about them if you know how to get around the loop holes. For example, an Ichigo COULD exist in this universe (AU- correct by the way) but he wouldn't have had the same past, exact same abilities and so on. If this is a problem, then keep the cannon rp in pm's. Originality is the goal here.

This has always been a very blatant rule and expectation, and just because you share the name of a cannon character doesn't mean you have to rp as that specific character of that same dimension. Work with the AU if you can, it's quite easy really.

Sounds good. I would kind of like to meet the WoB-AU Canons (and the OCs too, of course) as soon as I can. I hope we can get as much hype and interest in the Roleplaying aspect of WoB as it takes to get this thing in full swing!

Thank you for your words of encouragement, and helpful feedback.

Currently, AU cannons haven't been made outside of the ones you and your friends have made. I do request that each of you make an application and post it if you intend to bring the rp in boards just to make sure that the AU's still hold some sort of originality.

Other then that have fun and pm me if you need to know anything else!

This isn't a jail stray, let them RP what they want. It's not like only you ans Seto RP. As long as it doesn't interfere with the RP you guys have established, let them have their cookies..


Well, she is an RP MOD but they totally can't edit or delete posts.... Like Setoku is doing too mine as we speak.... OMG!

Golly, would'ya look at dat!

[straywolf174]

Go crazy guys, she can't limit you; Not really, she can't edit or delete your posts. She can only stop you if you let her.

I never told them not to rp what they want and I'm most certainly not "interfering" either. If anything, I'm keeping balance between originals and canons, and giving a gateway for canons in a primarily original based board.

Also, I have no right nor do I intend to randomly delete and edit posts, that's not the sort of person I am. I also don't intend to stop them from doing what they wish so long as it doesn't cross other people's boundaries. The rules were set in place for a reason, not for personal desires.

In short, please don't speak like all I'm doing is limiting someone when in reality I'm giving them loop holes and opportunity. Thank you Lust.


Edit: Also it would probably be a good idea to bring up that sort of subject in it's own topic, instead of discrediting a staff's judgment for your own opinions. If you have complaints, or feel that mods are not doing something you like, by all means- create a suggestion topic or pm us about it. It's the much more respectful route to take, don't you think?

I think all Straywolf174 was saying, is that we can RP Alternate-Universe, Non-Canon RP on the boards, but must direct any Canon-relevant Bleach RP to PMs/Non-Bleach RP/etc boards.

My impression is that this is a purely Original (no Canons), Freeform (No Stats/Dice), AU (different timeline/story than Canon) RP.


However his words may have come across, I (personally) think this was all Straywolf was trying to get across.

You got it boss man. Thanks for taking the time to read what I wrote. It really wasn't all that hard, right? :P

True 'nuff.

By the way, I just now noticed someone used the pronoun "She", I think in regards to you. I think I just (as most humans instinctively do) assumed you were my gender, and didn't actually take proper time, or invest proper thought, into your actual gender.

If I've used the incorrect pronouns in my posts to you, I want to apologize, and let you know that it was neither deliberate, nor malicious.

As far as I know you didn't, but my gender identity is actually Agender so I don't care what you call me. I'm female physically though, hence the she.

Ah, okay. Well, I guess, since I allegedly have X+Y Chromosomes, Societal norms suggest that I ought to identify as "Male", even though allegedly being male often excludes me from social opportunities involving females, due to this, that, and something else.... a rant for another time. xD

So long as I know who you're talking about, you can call me whichever. I am physically male, so I'm accustomed to the pronouns "He", "His", etc.

[Setoku]

And I'm Ggender. I prefer being referred to as "Kami" "God" "Super excellent most exalted one" ..... But a story for another time :p

What a magnificent gender that is.

[Setoku]

Just like me - Magnificent, undying, and beautiful. God.... I love me! Maybe more than I love my princess...

A Narcissist and a Sociopath...I wonder what the staff were thinking. XD

Why...hmm, okay. I gotta ask, as I am confused:

1. Why did you accept the RP Mod roles?
   
   
2. Did you ever, at any point, question whether you'd make a good RP Mod?
   
   
3. If the answer to #2 is "no", why don't you care that you were demoted?
   
   
4. What would you like to see, in an ideal world, happen with regards to WoB?
   

[straywolf174]

Why...hmm, okay. I gotta ask, as I am confused:

Why did you accept the RP Mod roles?

This is going to be a bit of a long answer, but to put it as shortly as possible, I personally found it to be a good opportunity for myself as a writer and roleplayer. If I could help others along with that - I saw no reason not to accept it. Besides, Setoku needed a writing buddy who could one-up him every now and again. :P

Did you ever, at any point, question whether you'd make a good RP Mod?

I think any staff in any position questions this. Before I was officially made a mod, I was already perceived as an experienced roleplayer. People who did roleplay asked me questions and I'd help them as much as I could both inside of and outside of the boards. I've taught people not only how to write effectively, but write inclusively and even tip-toe the lines of meta without breaking the rules or being an unhospitable writing partner. The point is - I already had an ample amount to give to the boards, and I was giving this to one other board at the time so I didn't question myself as much as say...a brand new staff member. I had time to settle long before I was promoted.

If the answer to #2 is "no", why don't you care that you were demoted?

I've said this before: I care that I was demoted for no fair reason, with no respectful trial, and with no true reason behind it other than "We got a report" and "The board doesn't need rp mods because A, B and C". Now, you've already proven why they were wrong. Since they cannot swallow their pride and at least explain to us their point of view instead of giving prepared scripts, then I see no reason why I should waste my compassion on a board or a position that meant nothing but having a pretty teal name.

I haven't "lost" anything, and I'd always had better with the roleplay forums and communities I had outside of WoB.

tiny rant:

I just happened to treasure what I built here with Setoku and the writers of the past. I cared about what was mine - and that position? It was just a temporary gift. I didn't own it so it wasn't mine to fight for in the first place.

I only care about the disrespect.

What would you like to see, in an ideal world, happen with regards to WoB?

I don't personally want to see anything. I'd be just as fine with it's current and future successes as I would be with it's possible failures. It's a game to waste my time on when I'm bored. Nothing more than that. Sure, in the past I may have answered differently...but it's been years, and I've matured beyond the point of sentiments and good intentions.

I think the important thing to understand, from my side, is that I'd been with WoB since it opened. I was around to see it get hacked, slandered, and populated with good intelligent people (...and Slicer clones). I was around to see it grow, have features added, and rank-hold for a month or more as all us top dogs waited for the new rank to come out. I was around to see staff come and go, to see Lsm almost leave WoB entirely, to see players revolt against the staff - I've been there and done all that. I don't see myself being able to contribute anything at this point, I've had my time - and I'm grateful for the experiences WoB has given me. Being a contributing member for a total of seven years, only having a temporary leave for one of them - that's a long time to watch, give, and grow. You can understand that right?

I can.

One of my first stomping grounds, a High Fantasy Medieval RPG, got its start on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) in 1998, and later had a spinoff made on a platform called "Talkcity" in 2003. I wasn't always a good writer (I've looked back and had my share of cringes :p), but the community - for all it's quirks - was HOME to me. I knew the players, they knew me. Some of us talked over MSN Messenger and AOL Messenger (back when those were 'things'), had each other as friends (using our IRL Accounts) on MySpace and a couple of places that used MySpace-style software for RPG Characters.  Some of us even talked over the phone, would schedule large-scale Storylines and Unofficial Events well in advance, and mark our calendars for when it was time to come in and play. Bluntly put, at that stage in our lives (we were, near all of us, adolescents at the time), our IRL was only secondary to our experience on that site.

It would take nearly as long to tell all the amazing/horrible/boring/exciting things me, my friends, and self-professed foes went through in this community, but over time, some of us became a little too big for the small pond that was our original stomping grounds. Unfortunately, as our Platform encompassed multiple forums and communities that were interconnected by the same software, the Owner of this site went to great lengths to sabotage, and eventually shut down all of the RPGs that were 'the competition' at the time. We would branch out (not thinking to go to an entirely different website), play somewhere else, have it crumble around us, then go running back to the former RPG. Over a period of time, this became an ingrained habit, and some are to this day stuck in that pattern, irreparably destined to continue their go-and-return process, perhaps until the end of time itself. :p

I went from being the Owner's pet (we had an illicit 'relationship' when I was a minor, and she was in her mid 40's, and married), to being psychologically abused by this woman, to being accused of some really psycho **** (which some gullible people ate up, some of them sadly I had thought were my BFFs), and I was practically EXCOMMUNICATED from this forum and it's chat.

Anyone found interacting with me, even on another forum, got banned from the former site. Any name bearing any similarities to "Max", "Maxim" or "Maximillion" were banned on sight. Heck, at one point, dropping my name became a form of Guerilla Warfare, as we would basically regress to the Salem Witch Trials, and people would accuse each other of being "Max under an alt" in order for people to get each other in trouble and banned.

Of course, just before this, I created a Medieval High Fantasy RPG (just before my ban, and the ensuing drama), and most of the players from the former site came to MY site to play, instead of elsewhere! To this day, I hold the record for the RPG Owner who withstood the most attacks and sabotage from that woman, before I too (inevitably) got framed for one of that RPG Owner's alts (by the name of "MaxIsGod") going and posting about 5 paragraphs of hate-speech (loaded with racial slurs). Because the IP registered from the same State as mine (The other RPG Owner lived 3 hours away from me, and had family in MD, probably using a laptop or something), all of my accounts, RPGs, and Blogs on that site was DELETED, and I was banned from Talkcity.

About 8-10 years after all of this (in 2014), that RPG Owner's prodigé (she was Admin before the former owner died of something) invited me - after some particularly calm, level-headed and revealing Podcasts I did, telling my story, and what I had been through - to return to the game's new Proboards forum. I returned, but much of the same anklebiting, backstabbing and manipulation was still in full effect, and about the time when my Clans/Houses/Characters were soaring ahead of other characters, and I was earning a great reputation for myself as an unofficial Event Host and Artist (and Music Composer, as I worked on a Soundtrack for the RPG)....

I was promptly banned from the RPG, with - like the RPG Owner before her - the most jarring and triggering excuses I think the Original Owner's Prodigé could muster ("Godmoding, OOC Threats & Harassment").

Well, most everyone knew better, knew that the Owner's (married) Cybersex partner and I were butting heads savagely around this time, and that it was no coincidence that this occurred just before I was re-banned.



I had a lot of conflicting emotions. By this point (2015), I had been ALL across the Net, played in a number of places, improved my skills in the Musical, Literary and Illustrating Arts, and had made a pretty impressive name for myself in those places (20% hated, 20% neutral, 60% liked). However, that RPG...it was the last remaining relic of my old stomping grounds, where I first got my start as an RPer.

Much of those events shaped me, negative and positive alike, into who I am today. My story, on other sites I Co-Administrated, Co-Moderated, and just Co-Roleplayed (:p) on, is more or less the same (minus the IRL Scandal lol), and I learned some useful things over the past 20 years (1998-to-2016).

• Staff are subject to the same human flaws as everyone else.
  
• Just because someone who annoys me is accused of something awful, doesn't make it true.
  
• When you are in a high-ranking position, people will agree with you, cheer on your decisions (only disagreeing enough to not make it obvious they're patronizing you), all in the hopes that they can ingratiate themselves to you, and be the first to enjoy benefits of being the Owner's/Admin's/Mod's buddy.
  
• Everyone deserves as much of the spotlight as everyone else.
  
• Everyone's character deserves the right to be as badass, epic and awesome as mine (or yours, etc).
  
• A site/RPG is never so good, that there isn't still room for improvement.
  

So...yeah. :p
