Title: Which Would You Rather Join?
Description: please answer ^__^

I think I'm going to attempt to make a site tonight, but I want to see what some people think I should do it on. Sure, I could do the classic boring thing, but I want something of the above; in other words, something real life / based.
When you vote could you by any chance specify something about it, like a mini plotline or era {for HP}.
Thank you! Also if anyone wants to help {but you don't have to} you may post in here too, though this isn't a staff request topic. Just stating ^__^

Movie. I haven't seen a lot of movie rpgs except Eragon, X-Men and HP.

anyone going to post any suggestions as to what KIND of boarding school or movie / book / tv show based? xP
OnlyHappyWhenItRains - May 6, 2007 02:51 AM (GMT)
I voted for boarding school, but I have no idea what I could suggest for one.
I'd like to see one that I would enjoy ... but I never have started one because I couldn't think of a good enough plot. lol
The Hale-ster - May 6, 2007 02:55 AM (GMT)
yeah, I've started some, just they've never gotten off the ground.
I'm kind of leaning towards Boarding School at the moment because it's something that would be relatively easy to make xP.
Plus I don't think I'm going to have subplots and canons, so that will make the site a lot more open. ^___^

I voted for the first three.
Not too fond of the last two...bleh.
The Hale-ster - May 6, 2007 03:09 AM (GMT)
thanks for the votes, you guys!
I'm trying to think of stuff, but it's just not working xP
plus I'm really tired, sooo... </3

Well since I don't know what you like, I can't say what kind of movie/book/tv show you can run. It has to be something you like after all.
The Hale-ster - May 6, 2007 03:25 PM (GMT)
True, true... LOL
I think I'm actually going with boarding school, and more people can still vote if they wanna, because this might help other people...

I am pure Harry Potter Fan... so I would do Harry Potter. I am so addicted. :)
The Hale-ster - May 6, 2007 11:09 PM (GMT)
I'm so happy I'm getting this many replies! LOL I'm still debating a bit on what to make it... >.> I'd like some plot idea so that I could get something started.. for any of them. Gimme something you'd like to see!

Hmm, what about two seperate boarding schools - like one all girls, and one all boys? Which aren't officially allowed to mix? XD
The Hale-ster - May 6, 2007 11:55 PM (GMT)
Ohh, I like that, Matches. I like it a lot. Now, just some reasons WHY they couldn't mix? And have the first major site even be a joint like, homecoming dance? I love you now Matches xP
Any one else?
brea15 - May 10, 2007 12:54 AM (GMT)
Haha, so I pretty much couldn't really decide. So I picked just about all of them. I really like the Charmed RPGs, but I also have found I like the boarding school and high school ones alot too. Hmm, it's hard to choose.

What if one was very upper class and the other one was mostly scholarship? So the rich people maybe aren't officially barred, but it's looked down upon, and the other school maybe has a rule to save the students from 'getting hurt'.
Bladeshadow - May 10, 2007 02:55 AM (GMT)
I just put the school ones.
Personally, I'm not much for any of those, but I prefer my roleplays to be based on real real life if they're going to be based on anything. Book and movie roleplays are alright, but there's so much Harry Potter out there...I didn't even bother reading the books or watching the movies; they're just too popular, in my humble opinion :p
EbonySins - May 14, 2007 02:59 AM (GMT)
Harry Potter is a serious guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoy joining the sites and twisting everything around in a completely acceptable way and creating a ton of drama. It amuses me to no end.
The Hale-ster - May 14, 2007 11:11 PM (GMT)
Thank you all so much for all of the votes! Keep 'em coming, though!
As I think I stated before, I'm currently working on a boarding school site, and it kinda has a murder-ish basis.
I love that the 'based' ones are winning, but no one's posting based on WHAT! Oh well.. maybe someone will tell me? -cries-

I'm still wondering how any of those choices are out of the ordinary, as the majority of boards listed just on RPG-D are of those types. :\
Also, shouldn't you have an idea for a board, and not just want to start a board?
Sorry if I sound nasty, which I probably do....
The Hale-ster - May 14, 2007 11:43 PM (GMT)
You don't sound nasty; I completely understand where you're coming from.
See, I get a bunch of ideas and all, I just want to know what everyone else would like. I could probably come up with something for each of the things listed above, though I didn't post them.
Kind of like sampling all of the ice creams before ordering the quadrupal scoop of one you're not sure of ;)

I haven't seen any British Public school rpgs, but I suppose that's because so many players don't come from England.
It's a shame. The sexual tension that could drive a plot around Eaton or Harrow would be immense.
With regard to HP boards; because there are so many, in order for new ones to thrive the plots and ideas behind them must be fantastic. Good for the members, but not so for the admin.
I can't really say much for the canon-based boards, because films/books/TV shows I like seem to be unheard of beyond the boundaries of my bedroom, and those that people do know are done to death. What I want to know is, why has no one created a Rocky Horror Picture Show board yet?!

Harry Potter and boarding school are the ones that interest me most.
theocaddict_ - June 1, 2007 11:35 PM (GMT)
boarding school all the way.
it gets very interesting.
Penguiduck - June 2, 2007 01:28 AM (GMT)
I voted for boarding school/highschool... mainly because I think it'd be interesting, but I had trouble finding a good, literate RP. >.<
Everlasting Melody - June 2, 2007 06:30 PM (GMT)
I love boarding schools because it allows a lot of freedom, especially if the school is set up somewhere out of the ordinary.
Of course I love Harry Potter but it is hard to make the board stand out and become different with how many there are.
I will not join high school boards hardly at all. Too many are too clicheish from past experience. Also it is very hard to find a literate high school rp that is not all about --- Omgs the football player is in love with the punk girl and is dumping his head cheerleader girlfriend.
The Hale-ster - June 2, 2007 10:15 PM (GMT)
well, I have something you all might like... if you voted for boarding school, of course.
It's the site that about 6 admins have been working on and it's been up for a couple weeks and going strong. It's called Nothing But Heartache and it totally kicks ass. There isn't much about cliques in the sub-plots, but it's a damn good site {totally being non-biased, of course xP}
