I somehow find it's more common to see people who are nice (or at least overall decent) people who can RP pretty convincing asshole characters, than it is to see the reverse of people who are jerks being able to RP congenial and nice characters in a convincing manner.
Itโ€™s because theyโ€™re able to tap into all that malice that they typically suppress.

there's always something inherently sad about the day you finally close a site, even if you know it's for the best and you're just officially ending a slow death spiral :c
A sad day indeed. So much work and smiles gone in a blink. :(

and I am glad new sites are open...Some new places is great. I am loving the concept you made. It reminds me of Overlord tbh. The facts about the 'real' world that is. But I am wondering... Is there any site overall plot? Besides the world concept you posted above, that is?
Iโ€™ve got a general plot in the works but Iโ€™m hoping once we get a solid community going, they can take the reigns. At the moment my idea is that the world map places the players to start on a large island off the coast of a continent. Players would stay there training and leveling. Itโ€™s going to kinda be a tutorial area or newbie island, though there will be pockets of dangerous areas. Iโ€™m thinking that new countries/regions open every expansion. Which ideally would be every 6-8 months IRL time. Each expansion bringing new regions and threats but also new proficiencies and other cool features.

I donโ€™t think you really need it unless you need to keep track of posts or something. With Discord, I feel thatโ€™s taken the need for OOC accounts. Iโ€™m not super familiar with jcink sites but I canโ€™t see a real need on pb 
while they do work better on jcink because of how jcink handles subaccounts (read: like a champ because being able to post as any attached account without having to relog + being able to change authors on a post at will + getting all my alerts pushed to a single account for me to hang out on? massive quality of life update and the biggest thing i missed when i tried proboards again), they're still really useful on proboards as well.

it's a lot less messy to have all of the "staple posts" like plotters and trackers and member directories be on the ooc account (doubly so for proboards since y'all can't switch authors) - especially since it means no one has to repost everything just because they drop their first character. plus, if you're on jcink, having all those alerts pushed into one account is super useful for organization in terms of figuring out what replies you owe (since you can use your alerts page as a reply tracker by deleting the alerts as you reply to the corresponding thread).

it's also tons easier for communication as well. there's no guesswork required to figure out which account is the one someone sits on all day vs the other ones they only check when cycling through, which is amazingly useful for if i'm sending pending messages (because i can't stand using discord for Official Staff Business (tm) as a staffer or a member), and on jcink, i can lock character accounts out of the pm system entirely just to double down on that. (not to mention that, y'know, not everyone has / uses / prefers discord, so it's not exactly a bad thing to make the general user experience not The Worst (tm) for those members).

ooc accounts are always useful, and while it's not a dealbreaker if i can't have them on a site, i end up so much more disorganized as a result that it's a genuine quality of life change tbeh.
I guess, Iโ€™m not ever too bothered to switch accounts on pb and I like my notifications locked to that account so I donโ€™t get confused too often. But Iโ€™m also not the type that makes more than 2-3 characters a site bc then itโ€™s just too overwhelming for me. I still rather just know the personโ€™s discord rather than their ooc name as thatโ€™s the medium Iโ€™m contacting them through more often than not. Thatโ€™s why I love sites that have a field in their mini profiles for this or require players to place it in their signatures. Cause even if I know your ooc account thatโ€™s not going to help me have a timely and natural conversation that something like discord offers. I still use PMs but again Iโ€™d rather pm through the account in question. That way a persons not having to guess which of my characters Iโ€™m discussing with them. I see the pros and cons of it all. For me it just seems unnecessary unless your site is built in a manner that would require that.

i donโ€™t get the trend of not having ooc accounts, especially on jcink sites...
