Tell me what you like to see in the Forum Roleplaying Section. What are your favorite type of RPs? What do you like to see in RPs? What do you like or dislike included in the Applications? Do you like to write a lot or a little? What kinds of stories do you like? Let's make an RP together guys.
Well now this is in the right quarter of the forum:
I like to see brief, but all encompassing apps without that moronic "other" part where the GM expects them to put a magic word which verifies where they read their same-as-always rules.
Like wise, I like to see a well engineered world where the players contribute in a well executed, and literate manner to its atmosphere, lore, sociology, and psychology. Characters with depth and amusement. And all in posts detailed out and written properly. None of that single-sentence crap.
RP that is about racing with every single thing capable of racing.
Cross country. While the world is falling apart.
"Welcome to the 1st Annual End of the Universe Cross Country Race! First contestant to make it from New York to LA without being sucked into a wormhole or transformed by an anomaly of physics will win a handy book of coupons and a sex romp through history made possible through the degradation of space-time!"

Yeh. I would join that rp.
And everyone is a teen werewolf attending magic highschool.
An RP where I can use this character- Name: Old Man Henderson Age: 72 Looks: Has a purple mohawk, a newspaper cape, white beard, wears sunglasses ALL the time, also wears a Hawaiian shirt with Khaki shorts, and has a rubber parrot on his shoulder named Rupert who he constantly asks for advice. Power: Can do epic things that nobody else can do and would probably be killed by. Other: Thinks he was in the Vietnam war when in reality he was 12 at the time, but due to being on drugs and marijuana his whole life believes that nobody else really exists except for him and Rupert. Has a 40K thousand dollar worth collection of Lawn Gnomes which he originally believed was stolen by Mormons, but he actually donated them to charity, got drunk, and forgot about it. Now he sets out to stop the CTHULHU CULTISTS who stole his lawn gnomes while accidentally killing all his teammates along the way!
Oh, well. I posted this in the Off-Topic section. Apparently that was the wrong section. I seem to get a lot more responses in this section. Well other than information that has been provided, does anyone have a take on whether or not they like RPs to be constantly updated with people always posting? I always found it hard to keep up with those kinds of RPs.
You see, I did an Interest check a while back on this idea.
Story: Over the past few weeks people all over the world have been getting sick by something that has been named black blood. Black blood has been found in several people and most have died from it. Doctor cannot seem to find a cure to it. The approximate time for a person with black blood to live is 1 month. The affects of black blood have been known to go beyond death though. The extents go as far as growing wings and claws. Once you are about a week and a half into it you start to feel blood hungry and if you don't get any you lose control of your body and become, what people are starting to call, a Mindless. Those who do get blood before they become a Mindless have been known to live longer than a month. They also don't have the wings and claws like the Mindless do. Those who have lived past a month are simply called the Black Bloods. The Black Bloods have formed an alliance to find a cure for the virus and to get blood for those in need of it. They are usually known to be wearing black. Guys usually always wear a black suit and women usually wear a black dress.
There is another alliance out there though. These people have seen the danger in letting Mindless and Black Bloods out on the streets and have come together to stop them. They say that the only way to cure this virus is to kill those with it. These people are in no way related to the police. They have, over time, built up a decent arsenal. They usually wear whatever they want, but they wear a badge to show they are apart of the Healers. They call themselves this because they believe they really are preventing a lot of deaths.

Any possible reasons it failed? I titled it Black Bloods. Is it the name that didn't attract others?
I've attempt to create navy RP thread back then, but it didn't attract any good Rpers. Probably doesn't like it or too much micro-managing (e.g weapon checks, ammunition, math calculations of trajectory, etc before even manage to engage).
Tried to do it simpler but still not succeed. It is a good one too but Rpers interest isn't come in this way.
Probably my option, they like to roleplay mostly RP characters than simple command and engage games. Or either I'm creating the RP navy wrongly or lack of descriptions/plots without any suggestion from experienced Rpers or let anyone getting false accusation without any reason that RP thread I was ever created in the first place.
That was too bad, 89% of RPers isn't interest in navies either in second hand Rpers checking thread (which is already sticky).
So, my option was there aren't much RPers who like naval warfare than just action RP (e.g heroes, mythic magical character that isn't exist, etc) which is was very common. Hoping there was at least unique RP threads like Airport RP, which you control a plane and drive or be a traffic controller.
But unfortunately, new RP threads tend to repeat itself (repetitive) like in older RP do. Like survival apocalypse RP, now goes in different approach like Bunker 29 and any other similar thread. It is the different plot but a similar applications and rules. I'm started to get bored very quickly because I can't find any good Rpers that will begin with or just unlucky because the RP thread isn't that attractive.

I'd like a slow-paced roleplay, if anything. I leave for a night to sleep and in the morning I find 5 pages worth of rping from the same 2-3 people who apparently don't sleep. Ever.

The Navy tends to be very slow paced, mostly consisting of cleaning, eating, and working twelve hour shifts doing stuff like pulling on ropes and driving computers. Then sleeping. A lot of boredom.
As for combat, it mostly consists of Tomahawking ships from over the horizon or sending some F-18s to blast them to bits. No actual naval war of a grand scale has been seen since the 1980s in Falkland. And even then it consisted of Exocets and jet planes. Naval warfare has changed: it's no longer the "broadsides battleships" as it was in WWII and prior.
Personally, I like unique RPs. Ones with original ideas. Plus, I always like it when the story doesn't go on forever. When it is over, just accept that it is over and don't try to keep it going.
I've never seen a Mass Effect RP before, nor one involving Dragon Age. I think I might have seen one involving Star Wars.
There was one, but It never really got off the ground.

Honestly, whether I would join a Star Wars RP really just depends on what timeline it's in. After RoTJ? I'm in. during the "Cold War" period? I'm in. In between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, or during movie events? Eh... not so much.
Personally, I like RP's where there is a constant flow of posts, but not where I leave for five minutes then come back and there are 30 new ones by the same people, or when I play a soccer game and come back with a whole new page. What I mean by this is people are checking the RP often to see if their character has been interacted with, asked a question, etc.

that sounds freaking epic. If you ever decide to restart it I would totally join.
