Thread: Roleplaying Organizations - Unfiltered

  1. #1

    Roleplaying Organizations - Unfiltered

    This list is a pared down version of Demenzia's old thread. I went through the entire list, looked up the orgs and their web sites and what remains are orgs which are known to be active and have leaders who have logged in pretty recently.

    If you click on an org's name, it will take you to the stats page for that org to view their number of members, average level, etc. I have also included links to the homepages of those orgs which have a web site.

    If your org does actually roleplay, please submit it here, and I'll update the list below as soon as possible.

    Omni-Tek



    Neutral



    Clan



    For a list of RP orgs (both player-based and fictional for stories purposes) and their descriptions, have a look at this thread.

    Note on org classifications: You probably have noticed letters behind the name of certain of the listed orgs. This is a project of 'classification', meant to help people in their choice of an org. All of us don't roleplay the same way, nor are looking for the same degree of RP involvement. So, hope this can help.

    Org type A

    An org where RP is casual but present. 'Regular' players and roleplayers are mixed. An org to join for a light experience of RP without getting too deeply involved into backgrounds and rules of conduct.

    Org type B
    An org where RP is common. All members are able to roleplay when they want to. A polyvalent org where all kinds of attitude can cohabit freely.

    Org type C
    An org where RP is required. Some stories can be prepared, members happily join roleplayed conversations, yet are also involved in other aspects of the game.

    Org type D
    An org where RP is very present. All players are ready to be involved into stories and roleplay naturally. In Char talk is applied, yet some liberties are allowed.

    Org type E
    An org where RP is everything. All members are experienced roleplayers or learning to be. Stories and backgrounds are what leads the org, other aspects of the game are secondary. Out Of Char talk is restricted.

    I would recommend you guys maybe discuss the best way the community would like to display a RP org listing (with restrictions or without I guess) as it isnt always helpful to have multiple lists flying around

    Whilst it is up to the community how you want to classify 'x,y or z' for a listing, I am not going to get into the middle of an arguement about which thread or listing is better and 'should be stickied', when it comes to how players want to list active orgs, When you guys can come to an agreement on how the community would like best to display the orgs, and have one thread, then we can add it as a sticky thread.

    I vote for this one (surprise!). I've included all RP orgs that I know of without putting any restrictions (like having a message board or web site) on who will and won't be listed. Also, I have linked each org's stats as well as their home pages (if they have one) for completeness.

    I agree there shouldn't be any restrictions. Doesn't matter if you have a site and/or forum or not.

    Nevver,

    Thanks for the unbiased post. The Black Companys website is http://theblackcompany.brizemedia.com

    Why we were left off of the other list is beyond me.

    My original plan was to link all Clan orgs to this site, but I had a change of heart.

    I updated The Black Company's entry with your web site.

    As a suggestion, perhaps it'd be better in the long run if a member of FC or the ARK Events Team maintained a thread like this? It'd solve two distinct problems: (A) It eliminates the need for any one individual from the game community to update such a thread, and (B) It removes any personal ties someone might have to creating the thread.

    For point A, it's obvious that certain ARKs and FC staff have edit permissions on the boards, so no matter who originates the thread from their end, someone later on can take over the duities if the original ARK/FC member leaves for whatever reason. In addition, it seems as though it might do the Events team some good to be familiar with exactly how many different RPing organizations are out there.

    On B... it's obvious that there are some individuals who would create and maintain a thread like this for personal glory and recognition. Having an official third-party take care of the duties eliminates the need for any needless complaining, egotistical issues, or other such personal conflicts erupting.

    Just my two cents, more than anything else, but I would fully support an Events team member maintaining a thread like this (following the same guidelines as used in Deminzia's thread) and using that as our *official* RPing org list.

    That works for me, Korrenth. I think it would be best if an ARK or moderator created and maintained the list as they'd be able to remove replies that had requests for additions and edits and such which would keep the thread clean.

    Thumbs up

Having an official third-party take care of the duties eliminates the need for any needless complaining, egotistical issues, or other such personal conflicts erupting.
    I'm not sure if I can completely agree with that part of your post Korrenth. I took the initiative when I noticed the original thread's poster no longer played AO thus the list would never get updated. Of course the little requirement I added to make sure the orgs were active caused a bit of a controversy and it is obvious who threw wood (or shall I say a gallon of gas) into the fire.

    To me there was no glory or recognition by making a new thread, it was just a practical issue. I roleplay and I myself would like to know which orgs are active I can roleplay with.

    If ARK or FC can update the thread any way they see fit, removing my name if they want, as long as it is updated, which is in the best interest of the RP Community.

    Demenzia's been gone for a year but had been updating it throughout 2005. But I guess I digress.

    #1 How else can you check that the org is active unless you start checking every single one on a regular basis...and that takes quite a bit of time away from my own game time to keep the list updated. Checking forums for activity would be a lot easier.

    #2 Noted

    #3 Point #1 is moot, since I removed that requirement and I will just hope people will let me know when their org is no longer active (which I'm really not counting on...but apparently I have no choice but yield to what most people want).

    I suppose I ought to have read both threads (re: #3 and mootness) before joining in the discussion as Sil recommended, but hey... since we're talking now, here's the last five cents I have on the issue. Promise. I'm poor.

    #1 This to me is a non-issue. I think why people want to have a list that doesn't discriminate between websiteless and websited orgs is... it's nobody's concern to keep an up-to-date list by checking if an org is active or not if that leads to some unforumed, websiteless orgs being left out. That's not fair. That's basically misinformation... although on the other side of the coin, not every RP org advertises.

    #3 42. Libations all around. Wooha. Read first paragraph. Then read #1 again. If the list has a few inactive names, it's not something the community will go RWAAAR RWAAAR over. The other way around? Oh, yes.


    And now I have no cents.

    Alms, alms for the poor!

    Bump for an unbiased list, and for FC/ARK to keep it updated, so we don't have to look at people's dirty underwear.

    It doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming to update the list. Here is how I narrowed it down:

    1) Is this an org that I just happen to see around on the boards, ingame or in the news? It was easy to say that RUR, NLF, The Black Company, my own org and several others are active. So, I don't even have to think about those.

    2) Does the link to their org stats still work? If I get an error page, the org no longer exists. These are checked with just one click.

    3) If I'm still not sure, I check Auno.org and check the last login date of the org's president. I think if the president hasn't logged within two months, there's a possibility that the org might be dead. But, sometimes people take breaks from the game so I checked the last login date of the officers. If the president nor any of the officers have logged in for several months, the org is probably dead.

    So, maintenance can be done just once per month or so. It's not like an org implodes every day and, when they do, we all sure hear about it.

    for your information Nevver.

    Since i am the only player with active in Twilight Night, and the org is dead, since my mains are in Forsaken/United White Knights i would ask you to drop Twilight Night from the list.
    I wish you could put United White Nights up there, cuz i do some rolepaying with the org, having my soldier as an advisor there
