ONE PIECE ROLE-PLAY

ugh, I was afraid something like this would happen. there are a few different sorts of people who have the enthusiasm and conviction to make a big fan effort like an anime forum roleplay thing happen, and a lot of the time those traits overlap with inflexibility, monomania, flat-out paranoia, etc

I guess one of the things about building a world or adapting a setting or whatever is that it gets really tempting to start giving people hell for doing things the "wrong way"

and/or you get so wrapped up in your own self-insert mary sue that if there's the slightest possibility of someone else stealing the spotlight you wanna put the kibosh on that as soon as possible

tl;dr fuck nerds, go ahead and make a thing on this site, it's probably the course of action that will expose you to the least stupid nonsense

(true story, I had an awesome idea for a robot who ran on spicy food but when I asked for advice in the cbox I found out that I had entered a dimension made entirely of stupid "realism" arguments about a setting where not only is realism pretty damn loose but robots and cyborgs are already explicitly A Thing

(excuse the fuck out of me for not considering the logisitics of a curry robot, in this setting that contains a cyborg in a speedo who runs on fizzy drinks)

other sites are not worth the trouble because 70% of anime fans are monomaniacs and your small cell of reasonable people will run into an appreciable amount no matter where you go

good luck though

that mech is just making me want someone to make a Megaman Legends sort of thing

Scanning ability, kinda similiar to Chopper's one. Maybe that's the reason it was rejected. :)

I think that would call for some evidence of that time Oda said that thrown in their faces. Beat then at their own game, haha.

Of course that would happen. I just derive pleasure from having the last laugh.

I've dealt with the Sonic fandom before. I know how these kinds of people can be. There's a reason why though I still enjoy my digital roller coaster rides, I don't associate with those people anymore.

my only regret from this falling through is that I'll never be able to do this now.

hell, someone should make a Skies of Arcadia forum rp thing. the whole air pirates setting kind of rules.

I should warn you that despite your attempts to create a serious and heartfelt giant robot battle environment, I will not hesitate to drop this nonsense right in the midst of it.

the idea is something left over from a FATE Super Robot Wars-inspired game that I never got around to applying to -- basically, an experimental robot who serves as the power core and CPU of a much larger robot.

he has a prototype orgone crystal reactor in his chest which resonates with positive emotions to generate electricity -- and so he's literally powered by his own enthusiasm and how much his fans believe in him. to capitalize on this and generate as much power as possible, his designers made him pretty much into a character from a children's tokusatsu show. Machine Prince Robotman G-01, piloting Desperado King Impact G-02! the G stands for Gakutensoku, a not-so-subtle nod to a similarly ridiculous robot made in the 1920s.

oh, and he gets auxiliary power from eating spicy food. if a character gets shot down, I always salvage the parts.
