It's not fair!
I can't understand why we can't RP more than one character in the RPG forums. We can do it in the live chat, so why not RPG forums? I, for one, enjoy the freedom of RPing whatever and whoever I want. If we can't do that in the RPG forums, then people won't participate as much. I can understand the necessity of rules and regulations, but sometimes I think this is going a bit too far.

I think we've had this little debate before, and I don't think there's a limit on RP characters anymore. So long as they're sensible, not godmoddy, and you can ropleplay them well then it shouldn't be an issue.

Re: It's not fair!
Its very hard to keep track of multiple characters, especially if more than one person is using multiple characters. Usually to keep the RP focused, you would only need one character in the current "scene". There shouldn't be many different scenes going on, and not all of them require you in it.
Re: It's not fair!
All I wanted was postings (I should of stated this to begin with before all the confustion) of the char that you majorly make use of in rps (Meaning the Char you offen play as more then others in the Rps.)
Re: It's not fair!
We were posting our character bios in the Bios under the RPG forums. It's just that perhaps we've all had some misunderstandings. There appears to be a certain number of people (myself included) who still don't understand everything about ToM.
Re: It's not fair!
Look all i wanted was a bio post of the char that best fits you, not a list of 5 or 10 charactors. I'm sorry I can't make that anymore clear.
Re: It's not fair!
some people here use more than just one character in RPs, Leon, so we need a place to post their descriptions. If you want to see what one character fits us best, then jus look in our ezboard profiles. The "RP Profiles" page is for all RP profiles, not limited to one. If you only want one profile per person in that topic, then start another topic so we can post the rest.
Re: It's not fair!
I agree with Zeph's proposal, we should have a secondary character thread where people can post desc's of all the other chars they might use. That way you can still refer to the official profile thread to check up the main character and use the secondary character thread as a reference when encountering a person's other characters. If needed, we can have people write all the secondary profiles ahead of time and post them all at once so that they are all grouped together for each person, like a thread categorization.

Re: It's not fair!
I agree that we should be allowed more than one character (I myself have two), but I have to agree with Leon on the grounds that some people just have too many chars to keep up with in one RP. One or two characters per roleplay is fine but when you get five or more, people get confused. (For example, and no offence intended: Ai has a lot of RP characters but she doesn't use all of them all the time, so she would just put the profiles up of perhaps Ai and Eve.)
Thats what I think what Leon means, to just write your MAIN characters profiles, the ones you use the most, then that way there won't be too many posts in the RP profiles.
if Ai only posts the profiles of Ai and Eve, what would happen when we run into one of her other characters? Sure, they might not be used ALL the time in the same RP, but if she's in more than one RP at a time, she might decide to use some of her other characters.
Re: It's not fair!
I love arguments they can be about the most random things...
Lawl
I think that all character profiles should be put in the original character profile thread,thats what its there for right? We don't need more threads for peoples "secondary" or "seventeenary" characters it'll clog up the whole forum.
Also.If a person has 10+ profiles it just takes seconds to scroll past...come on ya bums.
Re: It's not fair!
oh god, stop with the whining already, ok do what ever the hell you want in the RP profile topic, it is not like anyone is going to listen to me anyway, sence i'm the bad guy and all or at least that what you ppl make it seem like....
pfft Whatever... I thought it would be fun, just to see what Mewtwo Char you majorly use in RPs, And I know that is my fualt that I didn't spesafy that in rules of the Topic, and I should of,
S.O.R.R.Y,
ok get over it i'll just delete the rules so that lets you can do what ever you want in the topic...

Re: It's not fair!
Don't worry about it Leon, I think it was a good idea in theory not to have too many profiles, you just didn't really consider how many people would be 'annoyed' by your decision. Despite the fact that this whole idea was put up AGES ago, and for some reason someone decided to just now make a flame topic about it, which makes the whole arguement kinda redundant.
