Nice one, loved it. So, pugilists rock uh? Good to know. ^^
As for the forums needing to be broke up more though... I dunno. I mean them having multiple pages is either because people are talking a LOT in the thread or the thread's been derailed. Having more of them more spread out wouldn't change that.
And lolcats do help. They make people happy.
And uhm.. I hope not to bring the whole RP relationship debate here, but I just thought I'd explain...
RL relationships -have- emerged from RP relationships in the past and will likely continue to do so. You can put a limit between IC and OOC all you want, but you can't control your own heart. So that may be why people may be worried.
And finally... Epic news are epic!
And the Kefka server joke.. well.. it was a veeeeeeery long podcast and I may have been distracted hearing parts of it, so yeah. Might have missed the joke. Anyway Sephiroth will probly not be avoided.. it will be avoided by US but all the Sephifanboys and Sephifangirls will be there.
I till vote Golbez. He has this awesome organ theme.
But seriously, I think we should aim for Low Pop, because us all going there will make it Medium.
(Okay wishful thinking here.. Medium sounds fine)
I haven't been able to find any French RP communities yet. I think the RPC in and of itself should not go out of our way to get close to other languages RP communities. If it happens, it's cool, I know I'll RP with French RPers if I find any. But, yeah. It's not like -everyone- can do that.
We'll be delving deeper into RP relationships and RL relationships in a later episode. I think it's an interesting topic. I need to actually get through all of that thread when I have time. But we were more focused on whether or not our characters would be involved in relationships. The reasoning behind that for Jared and I had a lot to do with the races and personalities that we chose. I highly anticipate talking about this more when we do the relationship episode. I have a feeling my views won't be received well by some.
As far as breaking up the forum, I think it would help. I'd much rather read 6 2-page topics than a single 12-pager.
I agree with you on avoiding Sephiroth. I'm afraid I can't go along with Mason's reverse psychology strategy.
Reverse psychology only works if everyone is going in not-reverse.
And uhm... Even if I agree it would be easier to read 6 2-pages topics than a single 12-pages one... how would it be prevented from being like 1 12-page topic and 5 2-pages one.. or.. 6 12-pages ones!!
No matter how split the forums would be, if there's any one topic where a lot of people have a lot to say, pages will stack up in that topic. Unless the forum is mechanically designed to auto-lock after X pages, in which case people will start popping "[topic here] Continued" topics, which will then max out pages and so on.
That's why I ask.. how would it help?
I think it may be easier to get one person to check each topic then come up with a summary of the points to discuss, it'll help break up the work reading-wise.
Also, dunno how you are sell outs as its not like you are being paid
If you need any help going through any of the topics on the forums and getting the main points down let me know, I am on here a lot and have no life to speak of right now
Nice podcast
For the forums: I know it can be confusing, especially if you don't frequent them often, but what about, as Renaise sort of offered, get a few people to help with suggesting threads each week, because I know a lot of people (like myself) are way too active on the forum, and thus has a pretty good idea of what is going on and what might be interesting talking about
About relationships... It's really tricky not to take the debate here
I sort of disagree that RL relationships and OOC relationship has nothing to do with each other, as you mentioned yourself, you don't want to upset your partner, and no matter what you say, IC and OOC is NEVER completely separated. Of course it depends on your partner, but really, I don't see anything wrong with not wanting to play a relationship because you don't want to take the risk of upsetting your partner, or to mainly rp relationship with your actual partner, because you know that won't create drama.
And I speak a little German
But I agree, I feel it would be much more courteous to at least invite for instance German and Japanese roleplay communities to roll on the same server as us.. Or not invite, but... Suggest it
And it sounds great with your big news! Good luck with that! It will be awesome, reaching out to so many more people and giving them more insight of what roleplay is
And... Does that mean the spot as official RPC podcast will be open?

Thanks for the offers of help! We've said from the start that we will take as much suggestions, feedback, etc. as you'd be willing to give. So if you want us to discuss something you found interesting, make a note of it and send us an email! That's what the whole "Contact Us" announcements are all about hehe

Interesting... I am not sure! I suppose no one can stop you but I'd want to see what the community thinks. We'd be covering the same material (for the most part) if there were to be 2 RP podcasts. We'll be focused on the happenings of the RPC regardless of the move, so I am not sure if it's really needed. That being said, if people feel like they want other RP-related podcasts, by all means, have at it hoss :p

Hehe, well, it was partly a joke, though I do think it could be interesting. But you're right, if you guys continue to cover the RPC, it likely won't be needed. I was more thinking in the case that you guys "moved on to bigger waters" and started to cover the community as whole, it might be nice with something that focused on the RPC internally.
Besides we need some Estrogen all up in the podcasts.
Very true ^^ I thought every podcast was required to have at least one gamergirl for attention?
It should XD
I always wanted to do a comedic segment about RPing as girl. All the trip falls of having boobs in an MMO

That reminds me I need to get that "Girls of the RPC" calendar together
But yeah I think if we could come up with an angle to the show to make it different from the current podcast it might be an interesting addition. I wouldn't mind being counted in as a host in that case
Hey, we're still here! Have some respect! The body is barely in the ground! :p

We plan to cover the RPC as closely as possible although like I mentioned we might have a separate short episode for that. Keep in mind we will still remain extremely influenced by the RPC and what you guys contribute to the podcast. We still want to be very much grounded in the RP community even after the move to a different host. Barely anything will change from the excising style (unless we chose to change for some reason) so we'll still be asking for guest-hosts, community news, storyline updates, etc.
But anyway I'm sure this can be further discussed in a separate thread. What did you think of episode 5? hehe
