Some of you may have noticed the little coloured dots appearing after some usernames! These are trophies, and are held by the person with the most points in a specific activity criteria (ie: most post points, most thread points, most mentioned, etc) They will be transferred to the person with the most points in a criteria each day - we're still playing with them, and may move the positioning etc, but for now enjoy trying to get those trophies! If you hover over the spot with your mouse, you can see what a persons trophy is for.

Good to know, considering I just came back after....... a year or two?

Well, I finally got around to backdating the referral badges - as promised, if you had referrals already accrued before we brought out the badges, you have now been awarded the badges for them. <3

- for me, personally, I came here originally purely to RP. What kept me here and made this place a second home was the community, and the real and lasting friendships I've made here.

Agreed. Sure, RPA is primarily a RP site, but it's not just a RP site. Personally, I feel people who take the trouble to contribute to the other areas, post downtown and take part in the games do much to keep the site enjoyable.

If there is to be a weighting system (and G says it can't happen, but maybe some time in the future) then I think it would be good if newer members could get a slightly higher weight than more established people, to encourage them to take more part. Newer members are often a bit shy about taking part, and this could help I think.

Interesting suggestion @Sy23; we actually do have the ability to weight the points according to more specific criteria now, we'll take your suggestion into consideration.

How do I join or make an RP?

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

@Flower Child; you just find the section you'd like to RP in here, check out the Out of Character thread, fill out the GM's character creation sheet and submit a character to your desired roleplay! The GM wil review your character and then, if accepted, you can post in the games in character thread!

I am happy to return to the site and see that it seems to be just as active as when I had my slight hiatus.
I am not very active in other parts of the site however, I do appreciate all the time and effort you guys put in to make this a welcoming and active place to RP.
