Role-Playing on FAKKU
If a Role-playing sub-section was created, would you be interested?

What would it be a sub-section of?[font=Verdana]Probably Chat Games. It'll get a lot more attention there, and as no posts count to the post count, people won't be tempted just to spam posts.
Does that matter? Can't a new subsection just be set to where post don't count?
I think that a RP section would fit better in under the Writing Section. However, it would have the benefit on +1 moderators being under the IB section.
Well, if it were under the Writing section, then at least we could have a say in how literate the roleplaying should be. If it were under IB, I'd think that there would be a lot of "*walks into the room* Hi!" going on.

I want to be the guy. I will pick up Tegumi and we will ride off into the sunset on a white stallion. We will have 9 kids - only one is a girl. Also, I do no house work. Tegumi takes care of the kids, I watch the equivalent of that era's football all day.
Spousal abuse optional.
I'd read that.

I do think you're damn sexy and I was wondering if you ever had sex?

D&D? Sure, i'd participateProbably not. D&D is pretty combat focused and has little support for narrative elements and no support for giving players narrative powers, it's good for "live" sessions around a table (even if you're using IRC or Skype or whatever), but IMHO not so good for a play by post game.
That's why I keep arguing for using narrative games as those have built in mechanics for those issues and combat in them tends to be a lot faster (and abstract) so the play doesn't get bogged down in number crunching and back-and-forth combat move declarations.
We could still use a D&D setting or background, but I don't think core D&D mechanics would benefit this endeavor.
I'd still participate

Nah, the point of role-playing is to be something/someone you're not. So I've seen lots of people not role-play as their own gender and do quite well. As a writer you it's not feasible to make your own characters all one gender, role-play is good practice in writing from the perspective of the opposite gender. There's also different levels of role-play. from simple "Let's just chat and let whatever characters you make up do their thing," to "This is the set storyline, here are character parts to fill.". Also thread creators generally say what level it is, for example: Literate -> Means your character actually needs to do about 3 lines of stuff before your post is acceptable.
Roleplay really is a writing thing, but why not divide it into two categories? Serious roleplays with a full on set storylines and literate roleplays can go into writing. Where freeform roleplays can go into chat games.

Yeah, I was going to say that too. That's what makes me feel it belongs in the writing section - it will label the subsection as something more akin to roleplaying rather than just a chat where you pretend to be somebody else.

By my new book titled, Happily Ever After??(question marks intentional) It is in stores now.

To tell the truth, I am neutral on the issue of role-playing, but I am quite curious to see whether a new section catered to such an activity will add depth and dimension to the Fakku community.
As always, we can have a trial to gather results and as well as feedback from all parties. The various staff members can take turns monitoring the situation for further data collection.

It was interesting but since I don't have a single idea about how RP works I'd be a lurker for quite a time. Reading their posts is better I guess.

why would the gender matter? There would be a fairly strict no sexual content warning so unless you're talking about guys chasing the few girls to find role playing girlfriends (which is basically what we have now) I don't think it's going to be an issue. A sausage fest is alright when there's not chance for sexual romance, we can have threads about slaying dragons or aliens rather than romance.

How about moving Sexual moments in RPs to PMs?sure but then it's not rping, it's simply cybering; which is fine in private but I don't see how it can work in a rp sense.

You should actually write short stories of multiple paragraphs, isn't it? Not just single sentences - you could use IRC for that.
Anyway, there is a difference between a hint of a sexual act, and describing it in detail. I don't think the former can be considered "cybering". In this regard, and how I understood RPing, I see no conflict with the rules,

I think someone making reference to two character being intimate in the past/future is fine but it would be up to jacob/the moderator of the section if that was over the line. I'm simply telling you there wont be any detailed accounts of those moments, there is no debate.
