Hello, I am the new one  and I fear I have a load of questions for you  - When exactly does the RPG take place? The rules just kinda gave the synapsis of the Drama/the first episode. But with which episode are we starting I wonder. Like when I am writing Yuuta, how much do I know already? e.g. that Mizusawa is gay, that Satoshi is sick... etc.
Is there any list about what we know already and what not?- How good is the team atm? Are they really bad (ep.1), or alright (ep.3), or are they good (ep.5) or even at the top already (ep.11?).- Is there any rough plot going on atm, e.g. "The team is getting ready for a contest" or "The team is having a private Training Camp in the Mountains"?
Will there be such a certain plot for everyone?- Who is part of the Sakamori-Team? Are all the Yankee's in already?- In an other RPG I am in we have lists for every user in a special area that show their relationship to the other character. That could help maybe with the OC's on this page? Just an idea!
The list gets always expanded/changed during the play!
- Oh and I am insecure of my gender  Do I have to put MY gender.. or Yuuta's? ??? - Can I just join in, like in the bathhouse thread for example?Sorry for all those questions, but I always feel safer when I have a plan *Yuuta*  crossed = answered |

Hi, Suzume! Okay, I'll do my best to answer what I can! - When exactly does the RPG take place? The rules just kinda gave the synapsis of the Drama/the first episode. But with which episode are we starting I wonder. Like when I am writing Yuuta, how much do I know already? e.g. that Mizusawa is gay, that Satoshi is sick... etc.
Is there any list about what we know already and what not?The thing about the roleplay is that it takes place before, during, and after the actual drama. That is to say, we haven't really been posting in chronological order! Even though we have been trying to keep tabs on what is happening in each of our posts so that we don't run into contradictions later on, for the most part, we've just been writing whatever scenes we feel like writing. Some of those might be scenes from the show, some might be scenes we invented. (I think most of the posts on here are from scenes we invented, because there are also many subplots going). Does that make sense?
This way you have the freedom to post all kinds of stories that take place whenever you want (though for the most part, all of us have been sticking to scenes that will take place during the school year for the Tumbling characters). - How good is the team atm? Are they really bad (ep.1), or alright (ep.3), or are they good (ep.5) or even at the top already (ep.11?).Depending on what post you're doing, they might either be really good, average, or really bad. For instance, there is one post on the beach where the team is practicing! I think in that post, they might be at the "slightly bad" level. But then there's another post where the team goes to Australia to compete together, and I think they must be at a pretty good level in that post!
I hope that makes sense! >.< - Is there any rough plot going on atm, e.g. "The team is getting ready for a contest" or "The team is having a private Training Camp in the Mountains"?
Will there be such a certain plot for everyone?Actually, there are quite a few of those kinds of plots going on!!! I'm replying in a bit of a rush because I have to go to bed soon and want to reply to someone's thread on here, but I think the admin (or even I) could give you a list of the current plots going!!! I think Yuuta would fit in really easily with all of them--I feel like he's a big part! - Who is part of the Sakamori-Team? Are all the Yankee's in already?Yup! Yankees are in, though if any of the people playing Yankees wanted to roleplay a scene that takes place before the Yankees join the Tumbling Team, of course that is acceptable too!
In the case of the Sakamori Team....which do you mean? - In an other RPG I am in we have lists for every user in a special area that show their relationship to the other character. That could help maybe with the OC's on this page? Just an idea!
The list gets always expanded/changed during the play!I think this is a great idea!!! We currently have a "Relationships" board (which you can find right here), but I feel like an official relationships chart-typ thing would be kind of neat! - Oh and I am insecure of my gender Do I have to put MY gender.. or Yuuta's?  XD I understand this one....it bothers me seeing "Female" next to my character's name too! I think you can put whatever you feel happiest with, because of course we all chat in the cbox and will be able to tell each other's gender there.  - Can I just join in, like in the bathhouse thread for example?If a thread says "Open" or "O", I think for the most part that it's okay to hop in! I mean, you could always ask the roleplayers involved just to be safe, but I'm sure they will say its fine! Any threads that don't say Open (or list Karasumori Tumbling Team or something that would involve Yututa), you might wanna contact the roleplayers about in order to see if it's okay if you hop in!!! I hope I helped even a little! I'll leave the rest up to Miss Admin to explain (she'll do it way better than me ), but......well, the important thing is that you have fun!!! ^0^/ Enjoy! |

Wow! I didn't even see this post! >< I think it was blocked by all the others very quickly...I can't reply now, but I think Ryosuke has covered a lot of what is needed to be known! But I'll try to also add some input when I get back from my class! Talk to you in a bit! ^_^/

Thanks a lot to Ryosuke for all the explanations!
at 1) Would it be possible to make a kind of icon to go next to the name of the thread (I dunno what's possible though), being in a certain colour so everyone knows "Ohhh this is befors THIS point!" ?
There could be a thread listing the colours the Admin set for certain "milestones", e.g.
Blue - Before Wataru + the other joined
Yellow - After Wataru joined untill episode 6,etc
I am so sorry for being new and being so nerve-racking already xD It just came to my mind to make it easier to difer it!
- Relationship list:
I could offer a list we could use:
[center][font=georgia][size=6]R E L A T I O N S H I P S . O F[/size]
[size=4][color=salmon]NAME OF THE CHARA[/color][/size][/font][/center]
[b]A C Q U A I N T A N C E S [/b]
[b]F R I E N D S[/b]
friends
good friends
best friends
[b]F O E S[/b]
disliked persons
enemies
[b]L O V E . I N T E R E S T S[/b]
secretly in love
dating
one night stand
engaged
married
divorced
affair
New Question
How can I see if I've got a PM? *stupid* Ah, I am really sorry >___<
found it, as you noticed xD

Did Ryosuke's answers help you, or would you like more clarification? I certainly don't mind helping out either! ^_^ But as for the questions you left as unanswered... In an other RPG I am in we have lists for every user in a special area that show their relationship to the other character. That could help maybe with the OC's on this page? Just an idea!
The list gets always expanded/changed during the play!I see you posted an example of the type of list you are talking about! We have one for each character on the site, so his or her own personal list. Do you mean a list that's more general and is for every character? Otherwise, you are definitely welcome to make your own like everyone else, and then ask people to join it! - Oh and I am insecure of my gender Do I have to put MY gender.. or Yuuta's? It really doesn't matter, but whatever you'd like to do. I personally put "male" because of my character, but that's simple because when I post as Mizusawa, I get distracted if I see a pink"female" sign in the corner near his name. XD So, whatever you are more comfortable with is perfectly fine! ^_^v About your icon idea to show when posts are taking place, I think that's a good idea! Since I'm not sure how to add images to a title, maybe we could use symbols instead? For example, a ★ for if the post is before Wataru is on the team, a ♥ for before Mizusawa is found to be gay, etc. I can definitely do a master post with a list of those symbols, if it's easier! Let me know what you think! |

I certainly don't mind helping out either! ^_^ Thank you very much, but so far everything became clear ^^ Yes, but it was just an idea ^^ - I don't really understand those colourful things with songtext tbh ^^: what are they? ._. (this is my first English RPG). Or signs, yes ^^ That sounds great |

They're called plot pages, and they look more difficult than they actually are. All you really do to reply to one is copy the code on the plot thread of the character you're replying to, and fill it out accordingly with the relationships.
Buuuut, you could always just make your own plot page with the code you suggesed above, for Yuuta? That way, it'd be easier for you, and you'd also be unique in that yours in different XD
