I don't think its unfair of me to say that anyone who is the self-proclaimed protagonist of the story is being very unreasonable and that they cannot expect to be taken seriously by other RPers. If you want to RP in a small group of your own then that is fine, but do not expect others (or me) to cater and adjust to what I know or think has happened just to suit every little snowflake version of particular events. True, not everyone can be catered to and there will be some exclusion but that will always be the case with RP scenarios.
We have a rather large community here. Surely a significant portion of us are open to the idea of following some significant chronicle of events, something that is consistent and that we can all play a part in to varying degrees? What I would like to see is something that was suggested before in another topic, a party of "heroes" that play an important role SIMILAR to that of the main story. They should not be Gods or capable of great things all on their lonesome. They should just be the ones credited to having significant participation in battle, leaderships and/or judgements and can influence the world's(that is everyone who agrees) populace. In addition to that, we could have "masters" and expert roleplayers of varying styles helping to form the foundation of everything that happens and keeping it all framed and tidy to ensure consistency just as Clover had suggested.
Now, even if people were to agree to this idea, I personally feel that I'd want specific types of people to play the important roles. This is not a matter of "Sorry, you're not a good enough rp'er" or anything, but rather something that is believable and fitting to the role they are supposed to handle. I'd hate, for instance, to see someone acting like slaying four or five people/beasts is as easy as breathing and loves to do crazy mad flips through the air and slicing & dicing everything in sight before their enemies have a chance to react. So with that, it'd be nice if we all had a vote on the candidates for certain roles. Not everyone should be nice or perfect or the pinnacle of perfection when it comes to fighting. Strengths could lie anywhere, I would just like something believable and people that I can honestly incorporate into my own roleplay even if I never meet them. That's just one term I think everyone who is open to this idea can agree on. It wouldn't be a vote on quality of RP, just a judgement on the potential your existing character would provide to such roles with everything taken into consideration.
Well anyways, that's all just my input, sorry if any of it sounds ridiculous.
