2. I LOVE that series. I can't find it anymore but I loved reading it so much. ;o;

3. Agreed. ♥

6. Mmm.

10. Kingdom Hearts as a center plot is kind of overused in multifandom rpgs, but if it's done well - it's done well. Though I've never seen one yet, I think.

Really? :o Where I live, you can find it readily. Just where in the store is the iffy part. Some stores stock it in the "young adult" section, others put it with the "popular series" section.

Also, there's going to be a manga spinoff dealing with Graystripe during the New Prophecy...except...well, it looks horrible. D: The art is completely laughable and the person who drew it looks like they had no idea on what the anatomy of a cat should be.

I used to be able to borrow it from the library, but I'm not too sure whether they still have it right now because I haven't been into the library for a long while~ And, unfortunately, the only bookstore relatively close doesn't stock it either - I think. But I want to reread it, so yes~! ♥

:O That is sad.

Me neither.

I'm curious. Is PAIXAO that bad, though? Admittedly, I've never really gone through it.

I think so. To me, it was your generic bad KH-centric RP, or at least it was (it may have changed), and filled with elitists. Others may not agree, and that's fine.

All of the elitists have left after they realized stealing the communities wouldn't work.

Well... as someone who RPs there... it depends on where you are.

If you're in the tight-knit clique, you'll have a blast, when the drama isn't suffocating you to death.

If you're not in the clique, you'll be pretty bored, when the people you're waiting on don't reply for weeks, so threads take literally months to do.

It was definitely great for a time, but... it's highly overrated, sputtering to death, and not going anywhere fast. I'd drop, but there's far too much pressure to stay, I guess.

Maybe it hasn't changed. :P

That's another problem with huge multifandom games: if you're not with the "in" group (or one of the cliques at least), you have nothing to do.

No, it used to go places. Logs would take a day, people used to get along. Since then, people have been dropping and picking up like crazy, leaving and coming back, STEALING THE COMMS, etc, etc. Ang is great, and so are a lot of others, but the creator can't run a game as perfectly as they could if the people don't co-operate.

The thing that bugs me is that these multifandom rps have pre-established cliques even before they open sometimes - like, say, [livejournal.com profile] metrocardcity. Nothing more annoying than an established BFF!!1 circle and that before you even get to play.

There isn't an in group in Paixao. There are people who are bitter and bitchy and don't join in when they're invited and spoken to in the chats and things.

It's not our problem if you're antisocial and emo. :///

There's nowhere to speak in that chat when it's all just mindless "LULZ PEN0RZ!!!1!1^_^" all the time.

Re: #10

(Anonymous) 2007-02-07 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
That was when the old clique was there. They left after the attempt to take Paixao.

And I am so glad they are gone because the penis shit was the most fucking annoying thing in the world.

If the chat was like that now, I wouldn't hang out there as much as I do.

Seconded.

The heck do you mean, "far too much pressure to stay"?! If you want to leave, you go to the OOC comm and tell everyone you're leaving! It's not hard!

The rest of what people are saying about Paixao, I can condone as varying opinions, but that one line is a LIE.
