Experience

[Jemal]

Hey all, I'm interested in taking part in a campaign where everyone (by which I mean the Players) Is pretty experienced, and has been doing this kinda thing for a while. Now, online that means people who've been around the boards for over a year or so, have 1000 + posts, or something like that.

So what do the rest of the Vets say? Sound like fun? If so, we can try to work something out.

Have you been reading my entries in the 'oldest PbP game' thread? I've been thinking the same thing, but I don't feel I'm necessarily the best DM for the job. I'd love to play though. I'll have 1000 posts in no time.

 

[Jemal]

I must admit, I've never actually read that thread. Don't worry bout who's the best DM, though, we'll figure that out. A lot of these guys on here are great (And we musn't forget the female populace either, of course).

I actually have more posts that it looks like. I used to use the SN Isida Kep'Tukari on here, but one day the password refused to work and nothing I could do would resurrect the name. As I was in the middle of a PbP CoC game (my name was Ray Silver, M.D.) and I didn't want to have to wait for however long it would take for the web gurus to figure it out, I just made myself a new SN. My old SN had about 500 posts on it, and originally registered mid 2001.

Essentially what I'm trying to say is, I would be interested in such a game.

Jemal - I'm curious - what is it that you think the more experienced PbP will bring to the table?
What kind of playing style are you looking for in this game?

Because maybe someone who does have over 1000 posts might not have a play style you're wanting in this game....?

I don't think number of posts correlates well with roleplaying experience, if that's what you are looking for.

It might show how active one is on these very boards, tho!

Post count means monkeys.

 

[Manzanita]

While I agree that post count doesn't mean much in terms of quality of play, it does indicate a commitment to the boards. A game that is aimed at the high-post population would be one that was truely a campaign, and not just a one module shot. It would be game where the goals were long term and the DM wanted players who'd be much more likely to stick it out. I think it's a good idea. I think it would be a chance for a DM who had such a campaign in mind to set it into motion.

P.S. by the way, I had about 150 posts as Poto Knezer before switching to this ID, so I've actually got over 1000 as well.

Same here. I had over 750 posts as EarthsShadow, but that password also failed me, so I changed it to this one as you see now. Still, I don't know if having 1000 posts+ would be super fair. someone who just registerred might be awesome in any particular style of game you have in mind, and could be upset by being restricted over something some would see as trivial as post count.

This thread just screams my name.

I'm so in on whatever we do.
