I don't find it cringeworthy. With roleplaying you can allow an outlet for your imagination, you can do things which you cannot possibly do in real life. People here act like the anime characters because of restrictions placed on certain abilities forcing you to choose a certain anime character to use certain ability. If you want you can make an RP Bio of yourself and roleplay with it as long as you are comfortable with sharing some personal information (Most people do not like doing that on forums though).
About NB Roleplay, I actually like the concept a lot but the training and ranking system really deter me from participating in the RP. So, I actually do agree with Dannie partially; If I am interested in the RP; it's mostly to get those village banners. :th:

More along the lines of tabletop gaming, then it is video games.
There are dozens of tabletop games it could be compared to, DnD would be the most prominent example but there are dozens of different out of the box tabletop games that have the same aspects of playing a character. I doubt anyone is going outside their house screaming about being a ninja, just like someone who plays DnD isn't running around yelling about how they're a Paladin.
We're all here on an anime site about a boy and his dream to be the fictional leader of his fictional hometown. Not really seeing how being more mature then the next guy matters here. To anyone on the outside looking in, this whole site will seem childish as hell.

You haven't exactly seen the NW RP then if you think it doesn't have a proper format, like with DnD it's a skill based set of rules and abilities. You're gaining skills, and techniques as you would a DnD campaign with Attribute Modifiers, Spells and Items. Unless you're referring to the Konoha Town RP, outside of the current wave of LoT rp there isn't much structure there but for the official rp there's about as much structure as any out of the box tabletop RPG or even DnD.
I'm not comparing it to DnD to make it look better, you're able to draw your own opinion about it. I'm comparing it to DnD to give an idea on why we like doing it. It's a game where you can play a character, the same way someone plays a Gnome Cleric or a Goliath Barbarian in DnD. It takes about as much imagination to do that, as it does to build a character for the NW RP. What does Scrabble have to do with anything? I'm referring to RPG tabletop games, it's the closest analogy for what any text based online RPG is. Sure there aren't dice deciding the fate of the character but instead what abilities you're able to accumulate and use but that doesn't remove the roleplaying aspect from either of them.
How is posting in the Naruto Discussion Section anymore glamorous? There's this whole air throughout this thread of "I'm better because I RP" or "I'm better because I don't sink low enough to RP." We're still all as I said once on a site about a boy and his dreams, it's like a pot calling a kettle black. You rationalize it anyway you'd like but you're still here, what's the difference between spending your time in any section on this site? You're still going to look the same as the people who spend their time in other sections, to anyone looking in from the outside.
How would you explain posting in NDS to someone? "I argue with people on a site about a boy and his dreams about what that boy can do with his fictitious powers in my free time. Sometimes I argue one female character is better than another because of traits she has."

RP mechanics aside, the core problem of Narutobase Roleplaying is its community, I'm not saying all RP'ers are bad because I'm friends with some of them, the problem lies with the general air of pride, avarice and greed that is prevalent among many active members in that section. Because in NDS even though a majority of them are just childish trolls having fun, there's really no element of genuine malice unlike in the RP section like one RP'er getting jealous and greedy over CJs, backbiting, lack of sportsmanship among certain members, complaining to the point of harassing the RP Admin over him copyrighting certain techniques, acting like a bunch of spoiled jealous brats, not to mention some rp'ers bullying other rp'ers so they would quit. It has become a very toxic community.

NDS is just as bad if not worse, the whole site can be at times. Numerous examples can be cited of people telling each other to kill themselves, calling each other names, degrading and bullying each other etc in NDS as well as the GDS. It's not often that you see a RP thread deleted for that kind of behavior but it happens regularly in the General Discussion Section and the Naruto Discussion section. Those sections have had limits on the kinds of threads that can be made because of the problems they cause. You can try and play it down as just trolling, but if threads and posts are being continuously removed from those sections someone has to be going too far. You put people with contrasting ideals, and differing opinions together in any section and you're going to get some kind of problems.
How many people get banned because they did or said something wrong in the RP section?
On a side note, you ended up looping this all back around to "My community is better than your community." Which was the whole thing I was pointing towards when I posted.
