Battles and hunting?

[Deleted]

Hi, I'm Darkwhisper! I'm new to the site and I was curious about a couple of things.

1. Do you roll some sort of dice or whatever when battling another at or animal that determines the success and/or power of the move?
2. Do you do the same for hunting?

If not, I think that this would personally be a very good idea. However, it could easily be abused when someone cheats, so maybe you could add some sort of plugin or whatever at automatically posts whatever number you get. I know it sounds stupid, but ive said what I wanted to.

Also, no offense to staff, but why use post-based RP instead of shoutboxes, like mos  other sites? I mean, I understand that someone could spam and/or send short messages, but I dont think there's anything wrong with that so long as you add a filter to the amt of txts per minute or so. I mean, real time fighting (short messages like: *slashes at front paws* as battle moves) is something ive always anted to see on a WCRP site.

And, finally, I think that if you added shared boards that two clans could comment on, like a border between them, that could be kind of fun.

Anyways, thanks for reading! Kudos!

Please excuse any typos: I am typing this post on a phone and I think most of us can agree that phone typing is annoying to do and generally results in a ton of typos.

1 and 2 are both "no" because I feel that would be too irritating, complicated, and tedious. There's honestly no point I see in them.

If AWRP was a shoutbox RP, I think most of its members wouldn't have joined. I know that I personally hate shoutbox RP because it's too fast-paced and inconsistent. It doesn't give much time to think and I feel that people who have average or below acerage typing skills would be at a massive disadvantage. As someone who types an average of 70-100 words per minute, I know that a lot of people have a hard time keeping up with just me in the chatbox, let alone the others who type at about the same speed as I do. Shoutbox RP is also INCREDIBLY messy/disorganized from what I've seen. Besides, we've been around 3 years and have well over 100,000 posts, so me changing it now would only cause a gigantic loss of members, confusion, and arguments. Finallly, I wouldn't say "most" other RP sites use shoutbox roleplaying. That depends on where you go. Based on the fact that I hate shoutbox RPing, all I look for and go to are post-by-post RPs, so most of what I see are definitely not shoutbox RPs. Just because they're most of what you see does not mean that they make up the majority of roleplay forums.

As for the final board suggestion, all members are completely free to post in Clan boards that their characters don't belong to, which is half of the point of the main territory boards, so long as it makes sense that they'd be able to get there. For example, no leafClan cat is going to go through MidnightClan and swim through its river to reach StormClan, especially considering that most LeafClan cats cannot swim, but someone could post their LeafClan cat going over and trespassing in SunsetClan's territory. I just find it useless to add border boards when they are not necessary as anyone could simply post on the territory board of the desired Clan and claim they're at the border. However, I may further consider this one.

Thank you for the suggestions and I hope you understand the reasons behind my lack of budging on these matters.
