NRP = NFRP JUNIOR!!!!???

[Big Black Fish]

AHHH how lame. From behind the curtain, nrp was just simply disguised as NFRP!!

all i see is training.
training.
training.
training.

nrp was supposed to be rp based... not mindless, senseless, cavorting around with insubstantial posts of training and bull shit to expand your ability to fight crime (which inevitably becomes nonexistent after ceaseless amounts of training becomes the predominant factor within the site).

Bleh... this site is just another nfrp. how depressing.

[Comatose]

Roleplaying is always a game for dominance based on power for the most part with setups like these. That being so the majority of the time spent, similar to a an RPG of sorts is spent grinding. At least that is what is done on this type of forum where you don't start with whatever you feel like. NRP has so many other methods of getting stronger just training is useless.

However, I find your claim baseless and probably ignorant. Your last post was spent training, wrongfully so. Go find someone to RP with and stop training?

There are established methods of getting stronger without training and as so the result is that there is more RPing than training here. I have seen plenty of people RP with storylines and decent prose I found attractive. That group is much bigger than those who just train, I have never actually seen a thread that was nothing but training yet (save yours). Usually its some sensical combination of training, questing, and RPing with a buddy.

It's only because there is a training promotion this month that people are taking advantage of which will be over in a few days. Training on NRP is infinitely harder (intentionally so) than NFRP. Learning an S-rank would require 30 perfect posts--hardly anyone is going to take the time to do that shit. Roleplaying with others, doing missions, and doing events is and will always be the better way to advance a character.

Thank you for furthering proving my point. I absolutely detest training but the only semblance of RP to receive from this site (and any other) seems to be none other than... *DING DING DING, you guessed it: training. Further providing evidence that everyone, not just me, gets sucked in to a world of incessant training role play that simply yields its plot at the point of you exiting the thread. Training seems to be the only form of life that RP sites acquire these days. RP is supposed to go places and expand, not commit to a single thread and then never have any effect onto anyone else outside of that particular thread.

Bleh... I enjoy RPing too much to quit, and this site at least has people trying to enjoy the fruits of RP for the same reason as I do, but as of yet it seems to be going down a path of every other site I've encountered.

This new generation of RPer's are not focused solely upon interesting plot and some intelligent, colorful concepts but rather just having a dominant character that has more power than the one standing to his or her side. I hope this site will soon find intertwining plots from characters all over the nrpverse, as opposed to being confined in their little sect of meaningless plot.

TITS!

I honestly don't know what you're talking about, bro. I have seen very few training threads that are filled with people just training alone. I've seen training threads were people train each other, which right there by itself, makes the site different and better than NFRP. Also, unlike NFRP, exp can be gained from more than just training a technique. Missions, simple roleplaying with other people, engaging in combat, etc. If you ask most of the people here with their exp in the thousands, they won't tell you it was just from training, unless they were doing so with other people for the promotion of the month. So I truly see no point to your statement.

In addition to that statement, training is essential at certain times. You wanna say that RPs should be story driven. Well a story can't get very far if some motherfucker just decides to up and off you, and you have no power to defend yourself. Training is needed in RP for people to truly develop and grow strong enough to even have decent story lines. However I digress. Like I said before, exp is gained through more than just training.

I am speaking of RP that has longevity, my friend; NOT role play that persists only for one singular thread.

And what you just said made no sense. [paraphrasing] "there are other ways to get exp than through training... you need to train to get stronger."

Idk, that is an alleged paradox of sorts. Anyways, I'm not here to stir a hornets nest. I <3 this site in comparison to other sites. I am just apprehending an NFRP junior from the looks of it. Plot has managed to evaporate but I am going to desperately search for possible avenues for my character to subsist in a world where my plot will create a ripple effect, to affect other peoples plots [when they sprout] (and hopefully others will have that same effect on me?).

[Axcel]

Regardless, if excessive training were to become an issue like it was on NFRP (and I really, really don't think we're anywhere near there), the key difference between us and them is that it will be addressed. So I wouldn't worry too much.

NFRP has no plot. NRP is setting up villages through plot and NFRP started out with them already and just for starting this year that makes this site so much more different. I could say more but to be honest that is really all there is all I have to say when comparing here to there because there is absolutely nothing going on there. NOTHING. I could go on for ages about why this isn't that and why im right and you're wrong but its not worth it. You implying this site as NFRP junior is really an insult to all the people who came here to escape the mindless drone of an rp site, hell any rp site, that struggles on the use of training so to be honest you owe them an apology.

J-h-ust sayn. Yno.

[DAVID BOWE]

I'm pretty sure that we were roleplaying with a purposeful plot before that training thread we were forced into. Unless I was mistaken and you find it all just simple rp'ing with no induced plot behind the curtains. Granted I do believe kids roleplay on here with the only purpose in getting stronger to seem superior. To give their current I live under mommies basement lives some sense of gratification. I mean it's why I see "I'm the greatest" disguised in a shitload of comments in the cbox. When deep down, no one really gives a shit.

But as some have pointed out, you'll always get it in sites like these.

Oh you big old softie, you. I apologize for my comparison; I just had incredibly high hopes for this site in its initial preliminary stage as everyone seemed to be plot producing, now everything has leveled out if not declined. But; the eye of the future see's no boundary so until then... I will hold my tongue.

In the meantime, I will be attempting to prove myself wrong.

[King]

I don't train on this forum. All I do is roleplay (when I write). Your logic is flawed, whoever you are.

[Yami]

Tell you what, let's not bother arguing if this place is training or not. We're in the same village, let's see about some plot sometime (I'm actually seriously considering going on your Jounin exam just because it's good VILLAGE plot).

[marvolous.]

Uh, no.

[☆ F ☆]

As diago stood at the gates he saw the mist nin leave and diago thouhght it would be best to aleart the hokage about this but decided it was best to train some more to get stronger.

[Sayomi]

should I be concerned if Iv'e gotten all my exp through actual rp'ing?
