I decided to look through it for some nostalgia when I remembered that there was a plan to restart it.

Rule one of Uni days: you do not talk about Uni days

Rule two of Uni days: you do not restart Uni days.

I remember that idea, idk excactly what happened there. I still have the oc lists. All RPing kinda died with it, with the confusion that was the reset- a lot of us seemed to lose the desire to RP
if you miss it though, please join "Paradise island"- it is kinda simmilar

Well even I am back in the mix of rping just searching for the right one for me. Mainly post apocalyptic trotting dead style or survival type. But I am definitely up for another uni days. If anyone wants to start it back up go ahead and message me Ill be the first to post if need be.

So does anyone want to restart it or do they want me to or... Whats up here...

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind according to http://www.brohoof.c...234#entry548420 more ponies want it dead than alive. I guess the general herd wants it this way. 

 

MORE EDITS: And I feel that if we did revive it those that want it dead would kind of be assholes about it and be the cause of its death a second time. Dunno though maybe I'm out of line saying that.

that's their choice.

you should not restrict someone's roleplaying experience, no matter how much you hate uni days guys.

stop being d*cks and think about it from both sides. some of us want to keep the roleplay up, even if it keeps dying.

it's dead because there was no complications or excitement.

hopefully that will change. but if your not already involved in the current RP, then you realy don't get the choice. it's not a curse, and you all act like it is. what is so wrong with uni days? it's like the training ground for newbies, because it was exactly that for me.

if we do hopefully reset, there will be changes. changes consisting of setting most likely, and the limitation on absolute newbie posts, by helping them to plan through first.

and this time, there will be less jumping off buildings for me. wow i was a dumb noob back then. i never rped beforehand.

 

so there most likely will be some comotion in the uni days rp threads. but the big problem is that alot of people forget where and what they were doing last.

I don't think that was grounds to hide all of that, there was not that much hate-mongering there. We were stating our opinions as we're entitled to them, and hiding them because you want their opinion to be heard over ours is not nice. It's kinda disrespectful.

 

if you choose to not have this rp reset, that's your choice. but everyone else here has their own choice too, so don't bark it down, no matter how stupid it might sound.

 

I was in Uni days too and I didn't say I hated it, I just said there should be something new, not just "School rp, go to class, etc."

Agreed, I liked UniDays- but don't think a reboot would have much success.  Even the RP I'm running is questionable...

Uni days died in the first place because if the overhaul announcement. Not anything else. Now that the overhaul is finished, I feel like we could just give it a shot, there's no harm in trying to bring it back is there?

Eternal, if you want to, you can always make another RP like Uni Days. We won't stop you. However, if there's little interest for it, I doubt it'll take off. Your move.

i always think about being in this rp again.

we can start another rp like this

but i don't see the whole problem with rebooting it?

what was so wrong? at the end of it, it was still good. we had some stuff that made it all interesting, and we all got into it, and it was extremely fun, all working together to plan something.

If you put those ideas up in a new thread, I'll have a look over them and see what I think. I've just always thought school-type RPs were ridiculous, and I'm unlikely to change that opinion.

 

Also, just because something's popular doesn't mean it's great. I could give examples, but I'm sure you get my gist.

I've looked over at this RP. Despite never being in it, I can obviously tell by it that some improvements could be made. I also think it was a very good idea, just needs some... Refinement to be revived as a good idea.

I think the reason some people found it so 'bad' was because a lot of us are in school or college, so making an rp 'drama' (like reality tv) about a place already filled to the brim with drama that we live in pretty much 1/5 of our lives seemed a little off-putting for people. As in, we go to school and already have drama, so rp'ing about the drama we already have was just a way to remember how much drama there is. At least, that was the way I looked at it before I stopped.

i'd post an app but i still have to draw up my char..

then decide which one i want..

then wait and see if anybody else joins..

then feel bad because no one likes the rp.

 

well, let's see where this goes, eh?

I feel like if you don't make the rp appeal to people who aren't/weren't already in it, you're just spinning yourself in a huge circle and making the situation that happens here worse in the long run. It's cool if you guys want to privatize this rp, but heckling the others about it isn't doing yourself any favors.

 

It'd be a really good idea to give the thing a purpose. A story. A goal. A reason to join apart from 'post when you're bored because it's something to do and you can do whatever in a school setting you want to do.' I'm sure I've said it before somewhere, but it's just going to be the same people in the rp. The ones who were interested in just having no story, but it'll hardly be anything more than that unless you give some appeal to the people who want a story. I.e., the 'average' roleplayer. I mean, it's up to you, honestly, but changing nothing from before is basically going to be privatizing the roleplay. Izzy had a list of ideas, why don't you use them? She thought them up on her own time and it's a waste to not somehow work them up into an interesting story.

I'm actually not too sure of this myself. It seems like a huge burden to bear, considering its ancestor is the longest RP in the history of Brohoof.

As I've said, if this ends in tears, it's going to be a huge dent in its reputation.

Also, my OC's affiliation with the university was officially ended when the RP was put to sleep, and it'd be strange to create a new OC just to do everything I've done all over again.

As with Running's opinion, I too agree with the fact that unless it has something new to bring to the board, we aren't going to go nowhere.

Adding to that, all us former members will have huge gaps in our stories where the friends that our OC's made simply don't RP anymore, or have left for good, should we choose to rejoin where we left.

there is a very complicated nature to restarting the rp.

if all goes wrong, buzz me and i can do some stuff to remove, if necessary only.

 

ashamedly, with the overhaul (which no one needed to bail out of rping for...) most people finally took it as the end, forever.

i haven't seen many of the good roleplayers from my time on recently, which means we will have to figure out how to pass the complication of less roleplayers from before, and maybe new roleplayers now.

a new semester gives us some headspace, because we could say that many left uni for other things.

 

oh poor night. never got to know if she'd say yes.
