Calling all RP specialists, calling all RP specialists. 

Should the RPB be decommissioned and replaced by a roleplaying academy?

Wait, none of you self-studied?

I won't directly help the cretins, but I will gladly write guides for RPing.

Oh and:

I grew in ability without a mentor. Over time, as I began to read more novels and write creative stories, I had to enhance my abilities. I improved through not only this, but I also aged and matured.

Then they, the writers, were your mentors. People can learn quickly from example, but even quicker with specific, student oriented lessons.

True, but it is up to the student to learn.

That's why we allow students with open minds to learn from us. For example, Chaos_Fantazy, he "RPs" alot, but he's terrible at it. Someone like him would be willing to learn, i think :/

I'm for it.

I'd rather put my (rather dried up) skills to good use then keep this worthless title.



EDIT: Oooh, oooh! Can I get a thingy under my name that says "certified RP teacher"?

For one, if this passes, I'd at least would like the Pro-RPer group to be wiped clean and members re-admitted as needed.

That and please don't delete my RP.

What, and turn the Pro RPer group into a teaching group or something?

And of course I won't delete any of the RPs, silly.

If the idea succeeds, I don't see why not.

Honestly, you all may find this surprising, but I agree with this idea. The main flaw I see is most won't be willing to learn because they're "only RPing for fun" and won't ever bother to get better because of this, but this was already brought up. I would be willing to do one on one battle-esque roleplays with people that are willing to learn, though I can't say that I will be making them abundant, or even being active in them, as most already know.

Even if I'm just as bad as Geno at RPing, if not worse, I'd also be willing to help. I still have no clue why I'm in here by the way.

As I read through these posts, I realize that there aren't as many of us as there used to be.

Perhaps I could get Kerim back.

In conjunction with Zesper's suggestion, it would be fitting.
