We discussed it and we think that using the chat room for RPing is much easier and offers more upsides than not.
Chat Room Pros: You can easily keep up with everything that's going on instantly. If you need to discuss something with someone regarding the RP, you can do that instantly as well We don't need to set up a subboard if you just use the chat If you get bored RPing you all can just exit the subroom and hang out
Cons: If you're just coming in on an RP, it's harder to get caught up with what's happened
Subboard Pros: It's easier to keep up with the story in an RP since you can just go back anytime and read what happened You can set ground rules that apply to all RPing and keep everything more organized
Cons: It takes up alot of space It's alot slower than using the chat room It can get confusing with people racing to get the next post
As you can see, the Subboard Idea has not only more Cons than Pros, but has more Cons than the Chatroom idea and less pros than it. So I think the obviously more efficient choice would be to just use the Chat Room.
Now, if you want a Game-based RP thing like MMXVM had, that's a little different and we could discuss that, but as for general RPing, use the Chat room.

Roleplay just promotes spam.

But if they put it under the forum games thread it doesn't matter. Post count doesn't go up there and thats the whole point of a games thread: spam. We've got a game there called the double posting game, if that isn't spam I don't know what is.

well ive been in a foum called the MMTS and they had a separate section for RPing, the only real problem I've seen is that people are having problems being active, but it seems this forum is quite large, and active. We just need some ground rules and good moderators and we could have a better RP section than they do, and for quick stuff the chat is always an option
2 more Cons for chat: 1. Some members have parents that are protective/paranoid about the Internet and keep thier children away from ALL chat rooms.
2. I experienced this in the last underdog hero v. evil emporer battle, sometimes the Java Chat program is excessively laggy, i left for a second to reconnect because the lag was so horrible, then i try to get back in, and it never went to the log in screen!

MMXVM? What's that? A forum like ZV? Well....RP could be awesome too, but that brings a lot of hard work and time and space for ZV, i got a feeling RP and ZV won't have a big chance to combine...my opinion.

Chat lags and crashes sometimes. If you guys really want to RP then go make a thread for it under the forum games. So long as its a game thread nobody should complain about it.
