Where did all the FreeStyle RPs go? Whats with all this Dice-Rolling?! The RP is not about numbers! its about creative stroy-telling and personality!
P.S. if im just out of it and there are a bunch of freestyles going on, tell me where one is!! ------------------
I know how to do this now, even if it took me a while to figure it out :-P

Who the fuck are you, and how dare you tell us how to RP? =P
In all seriousness--you're right and wrong at the same time. RPs are all about story and personalization, characters and plot. But that doesn't eliminate the occasion need for an objective judge so as to avoid a Cops and Robbers-esque "I hit you!" "no you didn't!" "I'm immune to fire!" situation.
Rules are a benefit, not a detriment.

You don't even need dice. If there's a big GM watching an RP, he can declare the results of any encounters. Of course, this realies on said GM being totally fair. |

Well, there are simple dice systems for online use. Windows is generally seen as the quickest and easiest way to arbitrate a game. |

And there still freestyle arpees. I'm GMing one myself. *shrug* Except that it's closed, and the rest you have to sign up for as they appear. Windowsys is also pretty loose and nicely adaptable, so find the link somewhere (check the second gen thread for it, I think) and it'll give you more information. |

Roughly one third to a half of our board RPs are freestyle, well over a half of our chat RPs are freestyle. I have no idea where you got the impression that we don't use it much.

We are still a large community.
However, few of us choose to respond.
Why?
Because most of us are used to eachother. We know we're competent GMs, and understand eachother. So if you just come up with all your freestyle RP ideas, not many people may nibble, as much from lack of interest as from not knowing you.
Advice? Stick around and maybe do a few RPs. Chat, board— either works, so people can figure you out and stuff. Use proper punctuation, grammar, spelling, etc. It tends to have people upgrade their opinion of your intelligence. Plus, it's hard to be a good GM if you're not a good RPer as well. |

If by "kinda stupid" you mean it enables an outside force to objectively make realistic decisions so people don't fight over who has the bigger penis won what, and possibly mean that it's beyond your ability to comprehend, then I agree!

...they're just more numerically based and objective. o.o
Of course, if you find attempting to quantify abilities stupid, whatever floats your boat.
