So I find it kind of sad that outside of Obo, Dan Bennett and EBR, I am the only one giving advice to some of these people. Where are the people who have established themselves around here? I would say at least 50% of this place is full of newer people who are still raw. I remember when the WFWF had plenty of people willing to offer advice, and help people out. It is up to especially the owners to do this, which I see EBR doing this. So sad....

Not everyone replies before the deadline, myself included. I wait until after the deadline's up and read/reply in one big mass.

I just think it makes the place look poorly when appearance-wise one of the owners is fairly inactive until then. You have been here for a couple of years, which means you should have some insight by now on how to write an rp or ways to help out. It just looks better when the people running it look more involved. I am sure you are a busy guy, I just think that this place is a shell of what it once was, and would like to see it get back to where it was. I am hoping that when you do reply, it is with good constructive criticism that can help people than, "that was a good monologue".

Kyzer, please just shut the up. You are seriously telling me to shut the up when all I am trying to help this place improve. I guess maybe I shouldn't give you advice on how to improve with your rps too right? I know what I am talking about in all cases. I used to run this place, and I know how to write. I am not trying to start a fight, so grow up and don't just randomly tell someone that.

Kyzer, please just shut the up. Why would you tell someone to shut up who is helping everyone out? Someone that is using his own time to assist people, when I am pretty sure he could have better things to do. But he decided to try and help out people who need it. Now you shut up and appreciate the fact that someone is trying to be helpful.

I appreciate that you do though. Whether he realizes it or not, I am not personally attacking Horror, I just feel like people should expect certain things out of their owner. When I realized I couldn't fulfill those things, I stepped down. I didn't pull a flaps and hang on for months and drag things out for months. That doesn't do anyone any good. If you can't voice your opinion, what's the point of freedom of speech. It isn't like I am calling Horror names, I am only stating what an outside point of view sees, and a point of view of someone who has been in both positions in this particular place. Considering what I have accomplished here and my history here, I feel as if I have the right to state those things. Everything I have said is for the better of the WFWF as a whole.

I have no problem whatsoever with horror doing a mass reply to rps after deadline. Nothing wrong with that at all.
And bitching and going on about that is simply put annoying as hell.

so Horror replies after deadline. what's everyone else's excuse? most roleplays are only replied to by the owners and maybe one or two other people. I try to get to the roleplays weekly that I think could use my advice. No one will improve if they have no idea what they are doing wrong that's causing them to lose. Especially when they aren't reading the "top guys" roleplays around here to see what they are doing right.

I am going to voice my opinion. Apparently, you don't know who I am. Everyone who does, knows I will say what is on my mind. I am merely trying to motivate people to do more. How about you try it? I don't see you contributing anything here other than a couple of rps. You don't respond to anyone's rps. You aren't motivating anyone to do anything. This is about more than just replying to rps. You are new, so this WFWF is the only one you know. This place used to have more activity, more people rping, and more people motivated about well everything. That is what I am trying to do here. So smarten up son. And if you have a problem with what I say, ignore it.

Bro, I have no f*cking clue who you are and I STILL would rather you voice your opinion than keep quiet and let the people that need help suffer. I know that only applies to the first part of your post, but I'm too lazy to edit out the rest.

I decided the last show that I would personally try to drop a few replies to those that I knew what to say something to. I'm like Horror though, and wait until the deadline and do all of mine at once.

Yeah. I mean, before I became owner, I would reply to RPs here and there before the deadline. But now, since I have to judge, I prefer to read/reply all at once so they're all fresh in my mind at the time, and if I'm still unsure on a decision I'll reread and such.
And for the record, I don't mind critisism. It's what helps make me a better owner. My thing is when people continuiously harp on stuff, however long after the fact (no Avalon, I don't mean you) I get irritated. That's all. Just wanted to throw that out there, although I do appreciate you standing up for me, Nord, regardless.
And Kyzer, to answer your question at the top of the thread, yeah. I agree, replying makes it look a little more active here. But you know, that can only do so much. I'm loving seeing the GD seeing some activity right now. THAT'S what keeps the board alive more than anything. But the thing is, once this wave of activity dies (let's face it, E, you, me, Schneider and the Bennetts with the occasional other person..we can only discuss so much without it eventually dying) the board'll slow down again.
Sad, but true. What people may not know, but at least Nord and Thunder are aware, that aside from the rare one or two, I'm always in some kind of contact with most of the people here, but the newer guys in particular. I've worked with most all of them to help them develop new feuds and stuff, to keep their interest. Are they elaborate? Nah, the simple good vs. bad is generic, but it's a good way to get your feet wet. Typically I tell 'em to hash something out, and most of them have turned out decent. And for the new first week guys, I'll generally drop them a line asking them if they have any questions, and typically if they stick around a couple of weeks, we'll start hammering something out for them to do so their talent's not wasted. But on topic, I always mention the GD somewhere, saying that that's one of the keys of activity. Thing is, telling them only does so much if they don't actually do it.
See, I am useful for something. I may not be the best replier in the world, but I've tried my best to make up for what I may be lacking in by doing the things I'm aware that, presuming all parties are interested, I'm good at. I do make mistakes though, so I appologize for any that I make that may piss people off...but I am trying my best, and for the most part, I'd like to think that E and I have been/are doing a pretty solid job. We're not perfect though.
