I know well that the ninja world is a sandbox, I suggest that allowing users to make story threads that allow certain amount of people to take part in those created threads for story development. Those thread being tagged [Story Development] or something else as such.

Why?

I think this is because there's just not the vibe to involve others without the idea of "boom" another shinobi knocking the sand castle down^^ What I mean is that, I don't see much stories developing within the NW landmarks...

Let me know what you think about it. <.< Don't spite flamez o-o

Elaborate on too much, lad. Too much threads? Too much...work for moderating? Events are quite different from what I am saying, which is user to user character(bio) plot advising^^
The NW sandbox narrative gives RP'ers freedom to develop a story from their point of view, allowing them to spontaneous shape the NW story. They may have control of their point of view, but their actions still cause ripples that affect NW as a whole.

Your suggestion regulates that freedom and defines that NW story. You're basically controlling the narrative and ultimately controlling the NW. That power shouldn't be given to you, even just a little.

Now to your frustration, which I wholeheartedly agree with because stories in the NW are mediocre and substandard at best, however, that is not my place or anyone to speak it on.

Countering in 1...2...3, Go:

The idea comes from the very fact you can have battle threads in NW where permission is granted or required. If sandbox was fully implemented, then anyone would step in and change the fight without permission^^

Therefore, your claim that my suggestion regulates freedom is much like those battle thread fights^^

Intercepting regards to battle, which is a reasonable rule IMO. You're changing the order of Turn and tipping the scales of fighting power. Some may see this as a disadvantage if a random jumps in a fight without asking. It is also quite unwise as it destroys the teamwork collaboration for better communication and cooperation because they were not coordinating with their teammate and suddenly fought on their own. Who wants that headache each fight?

Not sure if this idea will fly here but I'm not totally against it. Mainly because of what I've seen throughout my time here. I actually do alot of RP'ing development in the NW. So far, when I'm doing such things I've been left alone, so battling is not my primary reason to do the NB RP. Battling and gaining abilities is more of a deterrent to the pricks of the world than anything else to be honest. LOL, People do RP kinda randomly on the base sometimes. Like their bio seems like this serious character and then they just randomly pop up in in an event with slight metagame tactics and make an excuse to fight you....

Ahem...I'M MAD! AHHH NO ONE CARES I'LL SHOW THEM *randomly attacks first person they see...or sink a mansion...you never know.*

But as I said before unless its a large event people usually leave alone.

I do enough RP in my battle and training threads to have enough of a background between my bio and the people I want in my story. Also if I want to RP a story that doesn't involve training or battling I do it similar to how we once did in jomae and what I do now in Ame LMs, Tavern, and skype chat. Proof of this is my current bio's history which will get longer with each update.

So you're accepting that fact that you'd need their permission to join the fight, right? Disregard that if you place the rules aside for battle engagement, you still need permission. o-o Have it be just for whatever reason (either support or simply intercepting both). I don't understand mate. Smh.

The NW used to be chaotic. Some rules in the NW are acceptable.

I don't need to rp in every landmark as I'm in a hurry to reach my destination. Now once I get to where I need to, then I rp to my hearts content. If the other person doesn't feel like rping then, like real life, you either tolerate it or do your best to exemplify what you want people to do so they do the same.

I don't know. I am tired and just got off work. z.z

Why are you rushing? You afraid you going to miss something?

All Rücken is saying is put a little bit more substance in your post. In this type of RP, that's standard. So no, there's no tolerating it or exemplifying it, everyone should be RP'ing that way.

Well considering it takes an hour to reach each landmark, time is of the essence. Once I am there though, I like spending extra time to make a worthwhile post. But not everyone is able to be on when I post so I can't hope for anything better so it's a mixed bag sometimes. Now if it happens within the village I am in, then I do take all the time I need for a good story as there is nothing rushing me to post nor any pressure from outside sources.

To be honest, if you want to make "story threads" you can do this in many ways or forms already. I personally (as a normal member) hosted many events such as the chuunin exams or the Konoha Civil war Rp, for a story form of RP, which many have included in their custom bios. It had a story to it, it wasn't official but it was only for the select few at a time.

We don't need any more sections than this. You can join a village and organise it from within, you can do it in konoha town, or even organise it between you and do it in the battle arena. Or meet up in the NW and make a separate thread for what's happening between you all as long as their is some form of fight atleast.

"Took a plane, only 12+ hours passed and am behind on the thread" lol. Ok back to topic:

Here's my analogy being that battle threads exists, why can't Story threads not exist on the same plane axis, eh? Have you ever fought in every landmark you so had happened to enter? I am suggesting the idea of choice not some obligation to roleplay o-o I wasn't clear perhaps, this has lead to the thread going the other way. Keep asking though, helps clear the idea. Thank you^^

He has a point, no need to rush lol. I don't fully-understand that sentence though, that it's standard of sorts to roleplay like that. o-o

I want to make story threads corresponding to Landmarks that I am in and just like Battle threads would be. So if your saying that it is pointless and not worth while to deplete, why? We already have battle arena for un/official fights, while at the same time we have battle threads in NW. Meet me half way here, you don't agree with this idea for the fact you can have un-official story threads in village or wherever else but not NW?

I don't understand why you say section. I am not asking for that, I am asking for the very level equal to this:
You must be registered for see images


Where instead of combat, it would say(anything similar to that) [Story] or [Story Development] Rucken & Perv
Like battle rules, permission would need to be granted^^

I looked around the net to know more about Role-play. It's all about creative writing and enjoyment, and playing a role that takes in your environment, and all that jeez.

@Deviation. "Time is of the essence"? Not really. But I can understand your impatientness.

Again, I can't really speak on it. Everyone enjoyes RP differently.

So what do you think of the idea?
