Novama, that intro was amazing!! Hahahaha!
1. I love it because there are so many RPs to be in, and there is a HUGE variety. What matters most to me are active, good RPers, a variety of interesting and well-developed role plays, and some sort of structure to it all.
2. I think that the subforums have some needless separations (like RP for Creatures, Supernaturals, Mythology is separated from Elementals, Magic, and Fantasy; or how RP for Martial Arts, Fighting, Tournament Battle, Duels is separated from its counterpart, RP for Action Packed / War, Spy, Hero), but I do appreciate that some genres are separate. Normally, I'm not so into the hang-out RPs or the romances, so I like having the die-hard hang-out RPers and romancers go to another subforum.
3. Most of them, yes. I think that some have an attitude problem and get upset if somebody sneezes, but they are trying to do their jobs and, for the most part, they are succeeding. Other than that, I don't care much about what the mods do. I just come in to role play.
4. Tough. The ideal is a large guild with quality moderators, but the people and the RPs are the biggest deals for me. I want many, quality RPs to choose from with good people (or people who want to learn), and then I'm happy.
Hope that answered your questions, Novama!

What do you think about the rpfla guild? It has a number of rp's and members, but is that all that matters to you in a guild?
A1: I love the guild. Though this is my first RP, I like the variety and structure that I've seen here in the guild. RPers are allowed freedom to do as they please, so long as they follow rules and set rules that shoud also be followed. The atmosphere is nice too (though, you might want to check on what's going on in the Romance classroom, some feelings may have been hurt). And I love that the moderators are taking so much concern and consideration into their jobs. They take their posts seriously, therefore they can be taken seriously, and that equals a reassuring security in my book. There are also a lot of other people here, making the guild very active and assuring me that if I contact someone, most likely they will respond in turn. And that matters to me.
Do the sub-forums seem a little cluttered and/or confusing? Does that matter to you?
A2: Well, I did lose one RP I was interested in, my first one. But it was my fault. I didn't remember the name and hadn't written it anywhere. Good thing I wasn't accepted (I had prepared my skeleton incorrectly). I've learned a valuable lesson, and haven't had it happen again. So everything is fine in that department, IMO.
Do the moderators appear to be doing their job and playing an active force in the guild? Does that matter to you?
A3: Yes, and a most definite YES! I consider myself an independent person, but I rely heavily upon the appearance of strong and capable authority figures that will handle problems if I need help or will make sure I don't get myself into trouble. Especially when I'm starting out at something. Once I get the ropes, I can handle myself for the most part. I think, though, that this is important to me (even then) because I don't like having to deal with people who want to impede upon rights, and I don't like impeding on the rights of other's unintentionally (sometimes I do on purpose, but only so if I know where the limits are). It saves a lot of trouble if everyone can interact without issue.
Would you rather be in a large guild with many rp's and members with inactive and poor quality moderators, or would you prefer a smaller guild with few rp's and rp'ers but high quality moderators who do their jobs and do things for and with the members? Does it not matter as long as you have a place to rp? A4: I always prefer small crowds over large (I'd rather eat in my uncomfortably hot car with a broken air conditioner than eat in a crowded cafeteria). That has just been my way. But online crowds aren't really a deal-or-die issue because no one is invading my personal space--though they may slow up my computer. But, like I've suggested before, moderators that are doing their job and doing it well is VERY important to me. There are many places to RP. A huge number. So finding a place to RP will never be a problem. But finding a place to go that feels comfortable to me? That is priceless. And good moderators, friendly atmosphere and active, interesting posts are all that I need to like a place.
@ Novama: Hope that answers your questions! I tried to take my answers very seriously and give reasons for my opinions, but I hope I didn't write too much. Also, I think it is very sad that many people don't like you. I don't know you so well, but you really stand out to me and I like that. You are strict with your principals and to the point with your comments and answers, which makes you very respectable and proves your dependability. You're like the police officer, keeping an eye on the party guests so things stay peaceable and don't get too rowdy. Please don't change. You are a shining example of what moderators should be. To me anyway. One more thing, the way you started the class in the RP was awesome! I had a nice piece I had written to follow it, but it was so long that by the time I was finished typing it, Angelique had beat me to the door and I had to type up something new. crying
@ Mikilala: I'm so flattered that you were excited to RP with me! xd I've been writing a lot over the years and that is why my sentences are as good as they are. I start a lot of projects, but never finish them. It's sad because I have so many ideas too! My character Aydrien is derived from a character I wanted to write about, but never started on. I changed his background a lot (and am still fixing it), but I already have a pretty detailed story behind him. It's in my head, though, but it sounds good and can introduce conflict into our RP if we ever need any. I'm taking your advice and trying to think of ways to make him interesting. And there is nothing more interesting than mystery (I wish I had read your bit about profile making before I RPed, then I might have left an interesting cliffhanger type sentence in mine too [or was that you? I read most of the classes listed confused ]).
*Phew, I think this is long enough now! 3nodding *

Thanks, Sara! I was excited to write that lesson, so I'm glad some people got some use of it. 3nodding
And Novama's right. Fighting doesn't have many restrictions beyond the god-modding rules that you can't auto-hit. It makes RP fighting a whole different medium than regular stories, but it's interesting when you have RPers that don't mind letting someone beat their character. (Others, well... They consider losing to another person a personal threat to their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and they respond accordingly. neutral )
You might say something like, "Billy ducked the flying rock and gaped at the hole it made in the tree. He staggered to his feet and ran, arming himself with a few nice, round rocks, and aimed them at his attackers to stave them off long enough to find a better weapon." That way, you've reacted, acted, and even given the other player a taste of what you're trying to do. The latter isn't required, but sometimes it'll give you enough relief from an attack to do something cool with your character. :]
