Why I RP?
To have fun, look at Naruto from entirely different perspective and for many other reasons.
I am an enginnering student, currently working on many projects and hence RP is more like that break for me, when I can just sit, relax, have a cup of coffee, think about something and counter my opponent's challenge, or put a solid reply. For the few moments, I forget about all my worries, tensions, deadlines and try to be one with my characters, becoming one with their feelings and try to know how they would behave in a perticular situation.
I can also know what Sach and what character he is RPing has in common, because every character I RP with, has a little bit Sach in him/her.
Hence, it also about knowing about knowing myself in general.
Many other reasons are there, but oh well, it's midnight already.xD

I exist only to destroy. I have no friends, only Tumblr followers. I have no family, only the Uchiha Clan. I have no goals, only the next victory. I have no problems, only the next Dance Gavin Dance album. I am the thief. I come only to kill and steal and destroy
6 years already on the base... Had goals, achieved some and the others not but I still have goals myself which I want to achieve before fully leaving, not the community; probably never... But the RP.
I got pushed down by some people, because I sucked. I was horrible with the English language and I'm still trying to learn how to improve myself with it. Those from 2009 can pretty much know how I was.
I'm mostly on NB to proof something, at least TRY. For someone who once got perma banned, pushed down, bashed and many more I can proudly say that I'm still here. Others always told me that I would never achieve something, fail and eventually leave... Guess what? Still hanging like a cockroach, haha. Official sensei, official sage, kage, Custom Element... I've all been there. Was I the best at those things? No, but at least I've tried? Why? Just to improve myself as an RP'er but most importantly as an person.
Am I still trying to improve myself? Sure, everyone is, one is more developed than the other, but who cares? You're you, some will accept you and some will not. Am I still getting pushed down? Of course but keep trying to proof them wrong, in a POSITIVE way, some will judge, some not but that's how the internet is.
I can write a whole book of what I've been through here, but the most important thing that keeps me here is Iwa. They're amazing people each in their own different way, all and each one of them is considered as an friend, some even family. Everyone has their thing that keeps getting them back, hold on to that because it can suddenly be gone.

One accomplishment (idk I'd you can call it that, maybe a feat) of yours that I like is that I believe you're the only kage to leave his own village lmao. I mean just imagine Tsunade leaving one day and joining Kumo and no one knows what happened lmao
I came to my senses XD
I quit rping because well I just didn't see what others saw in it. I tried to force myself to like it but in the end I just really wasn't into it. I even quit the base later on but always find myself checking whats been going on with this alt account.
When I was somewhat active, I always asked myself "wtf am i doing wasting time doing this stuff." I mean it was fun being in a village, making bios, making customs, and having friends. Other than that I found everything else about rping really boring and somewhat time consuming.

i really dont understand RPing. But i think it's great.i would like to try it, if i don't have anything left to do
Teno, when I started out in 2011 you were one of the few people I looked up to. You were like a Big Brother to me in the RP and helped me have a lot fun despite being pressured to overachieve to at least be equal to the "oldies". The Ash Village (I think the second time around) was fun to be in and I always enjoyed your battles even though you made some mistakes. To follow in your footsteps I created the NB academy to help new rpers but I lacked your approach. I take things too seriously. xD
But if you ever do decide to come back, it would be nice to form a group and travel the ninja world. Cause some fun for the sake of RP (though I'll just get 1-shot). xD

My video answer(which earned me a ban *glares are Chris*) is the actual reason. There's always something else to learn. Something else to get in the RP. You can always improve, and that's why I continue to RP. I'm just not finished.

Ok, here goes this essay.
1 | Ninja Villages
I honestly see no purpose in them. That's one of the biggest issues in this RP. I've heard that there are village customs and techniques that no one ever uses and such, but alot of people on this site have told me that joining a village is really just a banner-perk. Sure, you could have village events or anything else, but it all seems like a discombobulated mess.
2 | Time
Mods recently went on a mass bio raid and approved/declined 2 pages of bios. TBH, that honestly gets annoying. New people can't even jump into the RP quickly because 1/2 of the time, nothing gets approved. That alone varies, but in standards from the past month, let's consider it two months.
Then, you have to get a sensei. In a rough estimate, there are really only two sensei's open for the basic 5 every month, and people flood their applications in a heartbeat. New ones just don't get a chance unless they're clinged to the training page every 15 minutes. Let's consider that a year to finish your basic 5 and spam enough to get a high PC.
THEN you have to get into the Ninja World stuff, which is just a whole 'nother process, and if you include stuff like bio tests and getting customs approved and... Oh lord...
3 | Mods & Sensei
No, I'm not going to bad mouth any mods or anything like that. This is an overall issue that effects everyone in the RP. Regardless of who it is or what they're doing, the RP tends to be slow because mods/sensei tend to be slow. If you want to take that offensively, that's on you, but you do have to understand that the basis of this entire RP is dependent on the activity of MODS & SENSEI, and if they're not doing their jobs, nothing gets done.
So why do I stay? I guess I'm just waiting for a change, really. I guess I'm just waiting for the day that every single person contributing to this RP just gets up and says "Hey, this could be better. We just need to put some time in, and it could be better." I guess I'm just waiting for every mod to have a meeting and revamp the NW and get active with approving/declining stuff and take more time with NB RP even though I personally think that the day that happens is far from today.
I stay, really, because I have a falcon scouting a road I don't think I want to walk down yet.

Honestly, I see where you are coming from, hell it took me over a year and a half to finish off the basic 9 (which I'm literally on the last jutsu to be done all of it) and trust it was a long road, of patience, timing, and luck. Being on at just the right moment as a Sensai opened their app. An endless search for a new Ninjutsu teacher after Prof. went inactive, waiting on bio's, long training waits occasionally but quick ones too, I've been there as well. My advice to someone would be if you don't have/are able to learn patience, then this isn't the "game" for you. I also understand that, if everyone was able to learn everything in a matter of a week (which is what it seems people want) the whole RP would have gotten very boring, very quick. Instead, you really have to work to get yourself stronger, work to learn to RP battle as well as dialogue, learn time frame thru trial and error, "Level up" so to speak when you first finish an element/ninjutsu and get to list it as a one sealed specialty. I found it gratifying to work towards these things and accomplish them, without causing a stink about how long it may have taken. It makes you feel like you accomplished more when you work hard for it, gives the "game" a meaning and a reason to play.

I see your point, and at the same time, I don't. The main thing here is that this RP doesn't have to be a doctor's visit. Sitting and waiting until you get your entrance before sitting and waiting again for what you need. I've encountered countless other RPs with the same complexity as this one (Which, in comparison, is not too complex to be challenging) that have overcome such basic issues. Waiting because of regulation is very different from waiting because of someone's elses inability to be active enough to get everything moving quickly. I love sensei like Edward and Detective L because you can tell that they care enough to go zooming through their work and keep your training really quick, but unfortunately, not every sensei is like that.
What I'm trying to say is, there's alot of waiting that honestly isn't necessary. I guess you could call me impatient, but think about it like this. On another RP website I got into over the fall, you can learn your techniques by yourself. You may be thinking "Lord, that site must be terrible", but it's actually a very regulated system. You can learn your own techniques, but you have to be descriptive in how you learn them, and you have to use a point system to 'buy' your moves. How do you get these points? By sitting down for 15 minutes and typing up a mission, or going strong for two long weeks in a battle between foes.
NB RP is good. There's a wonderful community and a lovely staff and everything is nice. But my bird of prey has been circling the path for a long time, and I can honestly say that the RP would be better with some changes. Yes, that sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a training session with a sensei is really something, but I know that with a small bit of effort, we can really make something 10 times more enjoyable. NB RP just needs that one person, you know?

I suppose another reason my own activity has plumited is because recently all my fights have ended with the other person not responding anymore. For example I was fighting this one guy for left sharingan for my obito bio after the first post the guy stops replying and the guy was still active too he just wouldn't answer any of my vms and ignored me blatantly and all I did in the move was set the forest around us on fire. :| I also see less of the people I used to rp with around here and that makes me feel less like rp'ing.
Also the ridiculous amount of time it takes just for a custom to get checked, then how hard it is to get it approved ( might just be me) ALl in all I still like the rp and would love to continue it but I feel like I maxed out after I got ice.
