there is some roleplay on the chaos server... as there is the race war function... and there are hidden ingame forums for each race... so there is a little roleplay left...


one reason there is less roleplay on main now, is that each race has too many members... too many to keep wars clean...

you need to talk with one of the misc mods for that... or an admin/supermod

In the beginning most people still picked their race because of what they were like on the show. Nowadays, people pick their race mostly for the advantages they give. And nearly all top players have an ascended race which pretty much removes all distinction between races. And like Zeratul said, there's too many players. Even with a large Goa'uld alliance it would be nearly impossible to gather even 1% of all Goa'uld players. If it was hard 2 years ago, nowadays it's just impossible.

but it would be fun if it came back...

even on chaos the races are too large, too many inactives...

Children of the Ori______Ancient_______Wraith______Furling______Re'tu ___Unas

1884_________________4244_________1565________1153_______704_____858

especially since many of those are inactive...

Well, I think today players can't be bothered with some "roleplaying"... too bad, but that's how things are.
(That does not change my eternal allegiance to the race of Tok'ra, right :P)

yes, we know you roleplay some Jenny :-D


I say us Tok`ra need to invade the Gou`ald fourm with RPG battles :D

Who cares if DaDigi says its spam, even the Gouald race mod has a post in his section talking bout the 'good ol days' of the race RPG aspect.

Yeah... ascension pretty much killed it, people saw some reason for it when there were actual advantages to the different races... rather that just being ascended and everything being the same :-), system lord/tollan... no real dif type thing.

Well, problem is, it can turn very spammy, especially with the concept you started on goa'uld forum...

I roleplay on other websites, and it's more like group of people writing one awesome story together. Everyone for their own character. So actually if you'd read it, you'd think you are reading some fan fiction, with one difference - the story is written by more than one person. The posts are mostly at least one A4 long, so no "cell phone texts" - that is what I call roleplaying... but I am not sure if people would be interested in such kind of roleplay here.

if there be some set rules for the roleplays, then it would be as easily seen as spam...

Usually on RP dedicated forums (the conclave comes to mind), one section is for the finished product - another for the OOC talk - It's up to the GM (thread started usually) to work out the rules, and to call down the mods when neccesary.

Of course, I can't see us becoming a dedicated RP forum... but I do miss the pro-replicator banter that used to fill the halls.
Silly snake-heads.

Ah well... I think i'm going to put 'Replicator' in my sig.

Maybe we could try to convert some goaulds to reps. What killed the single race alliance was that they were normally weaker than an all race alliance. An all replicator alliance used to work because you could actually sab all of a person's weapons back then.
