Kyoki Chudoku Forums and RMB discussion. Which do I prefer? The RMB. But why is that? I use forums as well sometimes, after all. I’ve been on communities which depend on forums to RP and haven’t had much issue there. I’ve also done Discord RP which is certainly a bit annoying to deal with when you’re as verbose as me and need to shovel multiple posts across. And I’ve done stuff on the NS forums too.
The RMB is insanely fast. Back in the early days of my presence here, things were are a lot slower. I can’t really keep up with a day’s worth of RP anymore even if I tried. Too much happens. So I’m a lot more quiet here. Banter isn’t common either- oh, yes! Let me explain that. It used to be quite common to do things like:
“Freedom is the right of all intelligent beings.”
“So not you, then.”
And so on. It was very quick but could be fun, a nice break from the longer posts and such. These days, that’s not so much a thing. I blame Discord, personally. Discord allows for such convenient communication that many RMB RPers find it a lot easier to do most of the talking there and basically use the RMB as a holiday destination where we actually send our RP. That means a lot of previous connectivity was lost to the place. At least, that’s my view.
I’ve got nothing against other media at all, but the RMB is where I got into things, and where my foundations lie. It’s hard to make my nation work well on forum environment and such. I think all platforms are capable of both incredible and atrocious RP. The RMB is going to be more casual, because people can get away with random chaos here. And really, if that’s what they want, who are we to force them into literary positions? But nonetheless, that does mean that the forums will have as a whole a higher barrier to entry (if only slightly).
Anyway, now I’m rambling. Whoops.
