Aureity 3,055 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Hello MLP Forums members! I've got a request for you today, and it involves roleplayers and non-roleplayers alike. See that little banner up at top? There's a new addition to it now, the Roleplay World Survey. It's our effort to get feedback from you about the current state of Roleplay World, what could be fixed or improved, and your personal thoughts about the subforum. Do you live in the section? Did you hide it so you never have to see it again? Are you sitting here right now with a scowl on your face, thinking I really couldn't care less? Whatever your opinion of Roleplay World may be, we'd love to hear it - and it can only help us improve. Futhermore, this is an anonymous survey, so don't worry about us hunting you down with pitchforks. But please try to be honest in your answers all the same. With that said, we'll be collecting your input after a while and using that to decide our next courses of action. So if you have an idea for RP World that you think is amazingly fantastic, or want to vent something you think is absoutely horrible, this is your chance to make your voice heard! Tl;dr: Please take the RP World Survey. 16 A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurshy 708 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Done and done. I finished this early this morning (like 1:00 am 2:00 am). It was a pretty good survey, it covered a lot of topics. Including Arylett Dawnsborough's resignation. I answered all the questions as honestly as I could. [CLICK THE SIG FOR OC] (Signature created by Azura) Shinobu is best girl.

Crispy 5,563 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Also did it early this morning. It was a lot more... in-depth than I thought it was going to be, but I suppose not much would be gained by something simple. 1 GET IN THE PIT On 8/23/2012 at 1:54 AM, Djenty said: ON MLP 4UMS ERRYTHIN IS SRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,882 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 How come you get to make an announcement :c I wanna make an announcement. Tried to start it this morning but then work came along. Did it just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acoustic Cloud 2,202 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Just finished my survey. It did cover a lot of topics brought up within the role play community. Hopefully everyone partakes in this and helps improve or maintain the current stature of the role plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift 4,272 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Finished, it was quite fun. Talking about Arlly was a bit weird, as I was sad to see her even though we never interacted really. But cleverness great Survey! Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor XFizzle 8,670 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 Filled it out and like Crispy said was more in-depth than I was expecting lol. Also felt the Arylett questions were a little weird but I guess it's important to know how the previous regime worked.

Cherry Blossom 864 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 That was an interesting survey, but I feel that it was directed on more of the Roleplay World Staff. Still, this seems like a nicely put out survey Avatar made by Krystal and signature made by ~Chaotic Discord~.My OCs: Cherry Blossom, Octavinyl, and Apple Mint."It's not about how smart you are, but how thick your heart is." - Cherry Blossom.

Literally Snails 2,307 October 9, 2012 Share October 9, 2012 I wonder, is it strange that I deeply enjoy surveys like this? For some reason I find opinion polls to be fun. Please make more!

Marcato 2,143 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 That was a great survey. I completed it happily! I can't wait to see the results! *Bets 50% of the users will say/said their names in the survey at least once.* ~Relax and enJOY life.

Aureity 3,055 October 10, 2012 Author Share October 10, 2012 *Bets 50% of the users will say/said their names in the survey at least once.* You lose. You're the only one so far. Anyway, for the rest of you, you don't have to put your name or any other identifying characteristic in your survey answers...unless you just really want to. In fact, unnamed data might be for the best, so we can focus on what the data says rather than on who said what. 1 A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akemi Homura 7,681 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 Pretty straightforward survey, considering that I was a part of the staff not too long ago and I had a pretty good idea about what RP World was unfortunately like. I really hope moderating that place won't be so frustrating for you and Ice Storm, because it took a lot out of Arylett to at least decently manage it. Seriously... that place was just... I don't know how to say it, but I would not want to post in there if this were say, July. It was that bad, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkBuddy 586 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 Wow, I'm stuck on the survey because of one word I have never heard of in my life: perception. Can someone give me a definition of this so I can do the survey? -_- 1 I'm a Y2K Survivor™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,055 October 10, 2012 Author Share October 10, 2012 (edited) Wow, I'm stuck on the survey because of one word I have never heard of in my life: perception. Can someone give me a definition of this so I can do the survey? -_- Well, Wikipedia defines it as, "the organization, identification and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment." -_- Wikipedia isn't always that helpful. Bascically it means, "What's your view of X"? Edited October 10, 2012 by Aureity 1 A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilshy 5,090 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 Your perception of something is how you see it. In the context of a survey, it's how you think about something. Your opinion, basically. 1 Signature now 99% less edgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiliscael 3,960 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 Done and done. I will admit that it was a little creepy when the questions 'bout Arylett though I trust that you guys will use the information to actually help the forum. Good job, guys I tend to take the high road, get stoned, and fly low . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop 8,384 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 I will admit that it was a little creepy when the questions 'bout Arylett though I trust that you guys will use the information to actually help the forum. Also felt the Arylett questions were a little weird but I guess it's important to know how the previous regime worked. Actually, there's a pretty straight forward reason for why we were asking about her - she was the direct manager of the section. She set the policies, the rules, and all of that. As we move forward with the goal to improve upon Roleplay World and make it more widely used, we need to know what people's opinion of the former management was. What did folks like about the old regime? What did they dislike about it? Were there mistakes made in the past that we would do well to avoid repeating? Were there good things that we should attempt to emulate? In the coming months, we're going to be giving Roleplay World a great deal more attention than it has previously enjoyed, before we do so however, we need data on what sort of attention it needs in order for it to best meet our user's needs and desires. Before looking to the future, we'd like to learn a bit from the past. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franksta 41 October 10, 2012 Share October 10, 2012 (edited) done, kinda wish I wasn't so new and met Arylett Dawnsborough and Ice Storm :/ did that just give away my submission? feel bad for not being able to answer those questions :/ Edited October 10, 2012 by Franksta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaceon 793 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 I answered the survey. I did it as close to the truth as possible. Still sad to see another member go though.....

Nightfall 3,950 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Me too, I'm stuck on the first question because I don't understand what "Perception" really means. The definitions online just don't make sense. Perception is basically how one views things; as Evilshy said, it's your opinion. I took it. It did have a lot to do with the mods, but I'm assuming that this was so the mods abilities could be fine-tuned to make everyone happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedoraMemes 582 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Just filled this survey out now. I hope that you can gain some good advice on how to improve the section, as well as the forum itself! Also, I thought that the questions on the moderators were vey awkward, because I haven't seen much of them on the forums, so I couldn't say much. 2 The Anime Thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/20661-the-anime-thread/page__hl__the%20anime%20thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488 October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 Took and finished the survey! It was very time consuming for me, and I was late. but oh we'll, I helped the Forums, so it's not like it was the worst thing on earth to be late. Overall, though, it was nice! Finland is my favorite. All the other Hetalia characters can go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuniaC 52 October 16, 2012 Share October 16, 2012 (edited) Just finished, and now that this is relevant. I have some comments about the RP world that needs to be discussed. (I also wrote this in the survey but I want to know what you guys think of the idea,) so here it is. Even though I like RP, I think it is flawed. This is why. For example if somepony is role-playing and adds alot of events and responses to them. The next role-player has to jump back in "time" a bit to fill in what happened for him/her in those events. This gives an un-flowing RP. Here's my ideas on how to solve it. 1. Dramatically drop the character minimum for quick responses or reactions to events. to prevent spam maybe only people who role-play alot( XX times a week.) are allowed to do this "flowing RP". 2. Make a special RP page...Thingy for RPs with lower Character minimum. This allows action filled and eventful RPs.
