[POLL] Roleplayer directory

Postby knotted » Thu Jul 28, 2016 11:16 am

I have a suggestion, inspired by the new stories directory...since there is a high number of people here which like to RP with another user, why not make a roleplaying directory where everyone willing to play can register? Up until now, people mostly posted in the 'TUG buddies' category, but I think it would be easier if there would be one central point to refer to instead of that.
Of course, there should be a certain template for registering. For example, like that:

<Name>
<Gender>
<Prefers to be: Tying up/Getting tied up>
<Partner should be: male/female/don't care>
<Level of intimacy: PG-17, non-sexual, etc.>
<Must-haves: Thing that SHOULD absolutely be included, this can double as a tag field for easy findings>
<No-Goes: What shouldn't be part of the RP>
<Prefered method of RP: Via PM, chatroom, etc>

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

The number of roleplayers here is extremely small compared to all other groups. This would be a REALLY niche subgroup.

Yea I think I'm also in disagreement. Role Plays aren't like stories, as they are done privately often and many aren't featured on the website. The catalogue for stories was meant for us writers to advertise our stories so everyone can find stories they would like much faster, and also hopefully increase reader viewership and feedback.

If anything, perhaps a sticky in the 'Games and Role Plays ' section where people can put up peer requests for roleplaying?

Not necessarily a bad idea for those who like to role play.

I should also point out that the amount of people who RP here is being GREATLY underestimated.

A LOT of people here RP through pms and instant messaging.
I get from 10-15 RP requests every week from different members and most of them are coming from members with less than five posts.

The truth is, a lot of people join up on here to find others to chat and RP with.

I have nothing against an RP directory, so I voted "Yes".
The directory could be of some use in promoting public RPing (on the forum boards).
While not all RPs are appropriate for the public boards, I've participated in a few myself and it proved to be great fun, not only for me but for the audience as well.

Something to consider...

The point is not that I don't want to message people, the point would be that you can see which roleplaying users share the same interests as you and then message them. It would make the process easier, that's all.

Are you really sure about that? Because the TUG buddies board has a lot of 'Looking for RP' topics, over 20 just on the first page. A central directory would also help in making the TUG buddies board more focused on real-life tie up buddies, its original use.

Also, the poll is pretty much on the 'Yes' side right now, although most comments here were negative. Maybe there are some users who don't comment much, but prefer a personal RP? I still think it would be great if this site would have a section or a directory for that. I also know that the focus of this forum are the stories - I mean, it's in the name - but I know that some roleplayers get inspiration from RP's with other people, so maybe it will help getting more stories posted. Just a thought though.

I voted against due to the fact that most of the Tug Buddies section - maybe four-fifths - is dedicated to simply people looking for role plays. A good site for role plays is, I think, thecleankinks.freeforums.org, as it is still going in that part of the site. Everything else has filtered out but there is a whole section dedicated to group and 1 to 1 role plays.

As I said, maybe just make a sticky thread in Games and Roleplays subsection with this.

So, what I see from this Poll here, is that the idea seems to be positively wanted - although most of the actual comments here tend to be against it.

This seems to be a good solution. So, ehm, how do I do it? Just make a thread in the TUG Buddies section and ask a mod to sticky it?

every so often I get random messages from people I've had no contact with messaging me to RP, no real introductions and some times not even asking me if I want to RP just a message that is the start of an RP. a list of people who would want to do random RP's wouldn't be a bad idea, me however will RP with people but only people I've have been chatting with and not randoms.

Yeah, I know that situation too. Some Rand guy messaging you, often wanting you to tie him up, but as soon as you say that you usually don't dom, they stop messaging
What are you looking at? Finally put a gag in my mouth and play with me!

I definitely agree. This would make things go alot more smoothly and less confusion within the members.

I like the idea of this as well. It would help, especially for those that are into role play. :)
