Interactive Role Play, is an idea for a section in the Role Play Area that would play a major and important role in this website. All members of Convergence RP have shown that they like to use their own characters they've made to RP with others and do missions. Well, Interactive Role Play is the perfect solution for members of this site to create lore with their own characters involved within it that would then be able to be 'controlled' by other members. What I mean by controlled is that you would have a Poll along with the post having multiple choices of actions to choose from. This creates a sense of involvement and fun for the others who aren't apart of the RP thread. Members of the site at specific times during the RP would be able to choose what happens next with the poster's character. The choices however, would be made by the member who is posting. A timer for the days the Poll is open for depends on the member posting the thread. Once the timer is then done, the choice with the most votes shall then be made into an action that happens within the Role Play. The member posting this type of RP shall wait until the timer is finished so that all people can cast their votes on what they want to happen for the character so that way it's all balanced and fair.

This type of RP hasn't to my knowledge been created yet on any RP sites. It makes Role Playing go to an even higher level of intensity and choice choosing. Even though there's already tons of ways to RP on here, why not make another? There's never enough lore to go around considering the number of people visiting this site. Sometimes I feel so bored when I'm RP'ing and I actually love to RP, I found it quite strange. However, I came to my conclusion that were in so much control of what happens with our characters and others that it sometimes devalues the lore itself. Others on here might have considered in their lore that they made the wrong choice of action. That doesn't need to be a thing anymore, because you'll have others choosing for you. The only part a little difficult about this type of RP is making the multiple choice's you can choose from. Other then that, this idea seems bulletproof because not everyone probably want's to be in charge all the time. 

Members on this site want to feel involved with other members, that's why there is factions along with Open-Role Play where others can simply RP with any character and member they desire. This type of RP is the most sufficient when it comes to feeling involved. It basically puts you in the situation where the poster's character is in. There's a game console similar to this RP idea. It's called Oculus VR, that is a Virtual Reality system that puts you inside of the game as a character when you put on the head set. This is where I had got the idea from... By the way, this will be my final and last idea because of the constant "no's" I was getting for my other ideas. Call it "Topping On The Cake" if you will. I can see this type of RP becoming quite popular within this website. A lot of the members here seem to be active and love to create lore with others just like me. 

Interactive RP is the same when it comes to paragraph length and amount of posts. There's no extra needed when it comes to any of that so don't freight. The amount of EXP gained towards this type of RP would ONLY be judged/controlled by Sam. Of course, if you don't fully agree with the idea but maybe just half of it or singular parts of it, it's flexible. This type of thing will be able to have loop holes and gaps that can vary. Options within this RP type of setting can be changed and updated. I do not need to be affiliated with Interactive RP if you approve it to be on the website as a post-able forum. I can simply back down from it's control and let a staff member of this site to take control of it, if you feel that's necessary or best for it. Also, the multiple choices you can choose from should not be inappropriate/rude/lewd. If the member who posts this type of RP with those said things in it as choices then it should be handled by a Convergence staff member. 

There's already many types of RP that are fully controlled by the member/poster of the threads. Though, simply letting members take control of what you're character does or says at a specific time creates momentum and surprise. Choices are important in life so they should be in RP websites just as well. Wouldn't you want that feeling of playing a game through a forum on here? Interactive Role Play allows that to happen. You'd be able to choose things such as choosing whether their character goes left or goes right. You'd be able to choose between attacking and dodging, it all depends on the amount of votes and the specific multiple choices you get. This to me, since I currently play a lot of MMORPG games that are strategy based sounds quite exciting. 

Rules: Well, that's all going to be based on if Sam or another staff member want's to create them. I can create them easily but that's just if this idea get's approved or not which I highly think it will but oh well you know? 

OCC: My dad used to tell me, "You won't know until you try it" which means that taking chances and making choices were a very crucial thing in life. It made me think differently about the world and many other topics I discussed throughout my eight-teen years of living. 

Example Of An Interactive RP Threads Question And Choices: 

What should _____________ Do? 

A.  _____________ should hide under the bed.
B.  _____________ should run for help.
C.  _____________ should try and escape the building.
D.  _____________ should surrender. 


{I didn't know where to post this so you can move it to Codex or wherever if you'd like, just thought this was a good idea for the website. Please post down below if you have any problems/issues with this idea. P.S, OCC: I know you're lazy Sam but you've made this whole website a thing so don't just disapprove this ideal because it'll take a lot of time to create and take care of. If it's gonna be that big of a stress maker for you, I'd be very glad to control this type of RP. Please post carefully on this subject, try not to be so harsh towards me on ideas. Be open to ideas. Explain why it has a problem within it and explain how it can be solved. THEN, I'll reply to your response. Don't just go berserk mode in the reply going against the idea and not giving it a chance for fresh air. I'm open to various ways so that this can be a thing and if just can't ever be a thing then I at least gave it a great effort. Besides, who ever uses Polls anyways? Let's put good use to it since we have it}

im sorry but this seems like a really bad idea, if the other player only has a set choices of options to choose from, people could exploit that by having characters only be able to flee or surrender instead of fight back.

That's ONLY if those choices get voted for and I highly doubt that because every one on here seems to love action and battle scenes. But thanks for the feedback.
Highly noted.

First of all this whole thread is OOC, stop mixing IC and OOC.
Secondly, I don't appreciate being called Lazy, even though you acknowledge I built this site.
Finally, I don't make the decision on if suggestions get implemented. Everyone discusses it and then it goes to a full staff vote.

Now, I've been waiting awhile to actually get involved with your shit Lucifer, but I don't quite feel like waiting anymore. So one, I don't like this idea either, I agree with Rescue because only giving a player a set of options can very easily be exploited. Two, do you honestly think you'll get what you want by insulting staff and acting like your every idea and etc. should and will be implemented? Three you need to learn some respect, drawing back to point 2 here, being disrespectful and rude isn't how you get things done. Now this site is free for everyone and ideas are greatly welcome, but they are not always without flaws and the staff is here to moderate people and help people fix the flaws in their work. We are not here for you to boss around and insult. Good fucking day to you. Peace out.

To reiterate on what kitty said, you have consistently looked down upon and been disrespectful to not only staff, but other members of the site. Actions like that do not make you a very well liked person on the site, and those emotions kinda ran hot in Kitty. Some of what she says is right, but she delivered it in perhaps the worst possible way, making both of you equally in the wrong. Her response is immature and I feel the need to apologize for that.

On the other hand, your idea is heavily flawed primarily because it destroys the very heart of roleplay. The point of roleplaying is to create and become a character and dictate said character's actions through your posts. People are here to play their own characters and, as far as I can tell, have no interest in playing other people's characters. Of course, people can collaborate on what they plan to do later in a thread which influences the choices they make as their characters. It's all freedom from there. A system like that would fall into MMORPG territory which isn't truly in the spirit of the site. I am against implementing a system like this for those reasons.

I am unable to imagine or comprehend what may have been going through your mind when you wrote this post.

Not only did you attempt to introduce another terrible idea to the site (third time in a row, by my count), you subsequently insulted a the site's creator. Such behaviour warrants a complete rejection of your concept which was heavily flawed to begin with. I will not elaborate how as Elias has done that already.

You have been thoroughly warned time and time again. We have given you chances and have attempted to help you improve your behaviour.

Our tolerance is not infinite. Continue like this and your future on this site is very, very bleak.

...There's no way for me not to seem rude to you guys huh LOL 
I can put smiley faces in chat and still seem rude to you guys.
But whatever <3 I love you guys too.
And I don't how I'm insulting Staff, Sam said with his own words
that he's too lazy to do one of my ideas and it takes up too much time...
Therefore, it's just facts.

This will be archived.

Perhaps it's because your ideas are really terrible to begin with. Seriously, it's as if you don't even proof-read them or anything, or stop to think to yourself whether your ideas are actually good ideas.
