Title: Emerius
Subtitle: A canon-divergent Dragon Age RP

Description: Itโ€™s been four years since the Mage-Templar ignited in Kirkwall, and the city is no better off for it. Crime lords ensnare these newly freed mages as they compete for territory. The disgraced knights of the Templar Order fight to contain the growing threat of forbidden magic. And the city government tries to conceal as much of the chaos as they canโ€”lest Kirkwallโ€™s powerful rivals encroach on what isnโ€™t theirs to take. Emerius is a site that responds to charactersโ€™ actions. Come tell stories with us.

There's definitely been sites in the distant bygone past where I could manifest 1k total posts across the board, if I combine the post count from all my characters. But those site are either deleted or locked, I'll never fully remember. I was also a student with no life and had all the time.

The one I'm still fond of was rlrp supernatural site that I was on from 2018-2020. I still have login access to this one. 341 posts total on my main, but combine that with the total amount of posts across my five characters it comes up to be... 844. I definitely was hitting a stride on there for some reason. Very much into the mysteries of the site.

After that, I joined a rlrp urban fantasy site that I was on from 2020-2023. That one I don't have login access, but it was roughly 600-ish posts total across six characters. My main had 310 posts.

For some reason with animanga sites I've only been able to maintain one character, and it's been a hit or miss whether if I post a lot or not. I'm not sure why that is...

i used to research about generative AI for my job and im begging everyone to like familiarize themselves with how the technology works before writing an opinion in here, please i am suffering so much. if you donโ€™t know what a โ€œdatasetโ€ or โ€œmachine learning modelโ€ is then please google some more before posting


edit: in case this isnโ€™t clear i mean that generative AI is a mass theft machine, not inherently creative

my stance on AI boils down to this

1. I won't allow it on sites that I personally run

2. I judge you less for it if you would feel no objection to me lifting your posts/application and frankensteining it into something totally different without credit or compensation

Can we talk about the devastating, heart-breaking moment when you find a beautiful piece of fanart of your face claim...

...only to discover it was AI-generated?

All-in-all this circles back to the 'proper sourcing/crediting' camp and while some folks can make the argument that roleplaying is more about the writing than the aesthetic, I agree with the points made about the animanga roleplaying experience is now packaged as a whole with equal parts writing/aesthetics/graphics and that's not something that's gonna change in a while, I feel. Also the exploitative nature of some anime/manga AI-generators have caused some artists I follow to put statements in their social media platforms to plead with others that their art isn't allowed to be used to train AI speaks volumes. Anyway that's my yackety-sax two-cents piece for this thread.



i agree with the strikeout text and iโ€™m in the camp of โ€œif you would be upset about your own writing lifted and bastardized without your consent then you should shy away from AI generators

anyhow this is why AI art is banned on my site and i have no intention of changing the rule ๐Ÿซก letโ€™s all normalize using credited art as hovers (pfps are commonly allowed by artists) rather than using generators

balancing a site is so stressful like what do you mean you don't know if all the disparate pieces work well together until you actually have people play in your sandbox. arrghhhhhh i just need to remember that i don't have to get everything correct in the first week but also: I Gotta
