I'll take a link!

I'd be interested in taking a look, but not sure if I could commit to finishing an app without seeing it.

The next three months are going to be rough. Trying to power through mental health issues is so exhausting, but I want to enjoy my hobbies.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun. I'm not a fan of school rps, but maybe a more contained setting like that would work. Maybe some sort of competition etc. etc.

yeah sure! feel free to dm me the details

Oh, how weird! It's less elegant, but you can also try reverting all the changes I told you to do and change the opening center tag to <center style="width:100%;">

I took a quick look at your site, and it's a super easy fix! The issue is with the <center> tags surrounding your forum. Remove that and then add margin:auto; to your board wrapper and it should center.

The highlighted part is where the margin auto needs to be applied, basically:

This was actually a super helpful response, thank you! Framing it like Pokemon actually put it in a perspective that really appeals to me, and custom signature skills are a great idea. I'll definitely take it into consideration.

One way to do "live" editing is to use the inspection tool in your browser to edit it on the forum. It's not a perfect solution because you have to remember all of the changes you made, but it does allow you to edit it without refreshing or saving the post, etc. There's not going to really be a site you can, because the issues you're likely running into are just CSS conflicts with the site itself.

Not having your hyper fixations line up with your friends suuucks. I'm shaking Boruto like a box of cat treats, but all they want to talk about is YGO! and Naruto. Sad days.*

*i like talking to them about naruto & ygo! and they listen to me ramble about boruto, but it's just not the same as being in the trenches together

I'm specifically interested within the context of a VRMMO RP, what do you think the pros and cons of a strict vs freeform system are? Is there a third system you prefer more? I've got the brainrot pretty bad and have been thinking about what my ideal VRMMO rp would be and the system is kind of foundational.

To clarify, I don't mean strict or freeform in the context of stats. Either way, I'm not a big fan of things that need to be heavily moderated. Either system would have the quests & battles based around character level and not much else. Maybe some light rolling, but something staff could be more hands off about. Partially because it's annoying to deal with, partially because it's been my experience that rolls end up being a huge bottleneck in progression and it's difficult to properly staff for.

In the simplest terms:

Strict would be creating set classes with pre-generated skills that need to be earned, and the possibility of class upgrades. Think .Hack or World of Warcraft.

Freeform would have the classes be: DPS, Tank, Support, with the sub-classes: physical, magical, or utility. Members would then craft their own ability/class. Possibly with some restrictions like outlining certain mechanics (poison, piercing, healing, etc) that exist in the world. I can't think of any media examples of this, but there was at least one forum with this sort of system at one point.

Now onto my opinions:

Strict appeals to me, because it's traditional and I enjoy the vibe of being able to release new classes, abilities, etc. Plus there's a more clear source of progression which scratche a certain itch. It does come with a higher barrier of entry, though, since it requires more prep work to design each class and make them unique (though borrowing from existing games would make it easier).

Freeform appeals to me, because it gives more narrative freedom on how to play a character, and it's interesting to see what other people come up with. It does come with a higher long term cost of needing to approve abiltiies and keep rulings consistent.

Maybe I'm totally off base and there's better formats, though. What do you think?

i'm this 🤏 close to just making a vrmmo rp myself

The worst part of a site failing is there being no way to know why. I would like to try again some other time, but I gotta wait for the self doubt to clear up first.
