We all know how this event, should it be created, will work: some users will most certainly jump at the chance, both Wiki-Princess and actual mainspace editors. Next, a flood of Wiki Princesses will flock to the roleplay and edit just that, nothing else. This leaves a handful of users to edit the mainspace. Don't know about you guys, but I get pretty sick and tired of seeing the same handful of editors work their butts off while others simply use this place as a blog, social get together. Seriously, actual edtiors get surpassed in edits by WikiPrincess' edits to talkpages, irrelevant forums, blogs, etc. We've seen this happen many many times. Note: I'm not naming any names or singling out anyone, I believe we all know who lies where. | We all know how this event, should it be created, will work: some users will most certainly jump at the chance, both Wiki-Princess and actual mainspace editors.

That wasn't a plot at all. It was designed to have no plot. Like I said, it was based off of the scenario in PotC Online. And, like I said, it you could join ''an'' organization, not necissarily ''the'' organization. In addition, like I said, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this level of Nobody, so there wouldn't be 10,000 of them. {{The Inexistentsig}} 19:57, 9 June 2011 (EDT) | That wasn't a plot at all.

{{DTN|time=20:02, 9 June 2011 (EDT)|text=@TIN: Yes, I only mean that hosting it here will hurt both. You can go ahead and slap this thing over on the Wikia if their community agrees and approves. | |||
I'd prefer that you two not continue discussing a roleplay that, as it looks already from discussion, will likely not be hosted on this wiki here. If you wish to present the idea to KHWikia, please move the conversation there. You could also open up an IRC Channel or external chat program for this conversation. Thank you.}} | |||
I can agree with The Inexistent, upon having pointed out the WikiPrincessing draw that this would potentially create on being posted on this one, I see that it could be harmful, but I think that you fail to see exactly how a bit of social team building affects the end results of a project. There is no I in team as you'll often hear but a team who is closely knit understands one another better and works better together so as to get past one another's odd tendencies. An example is that if I wasn't a long-ish term member of the wiki I would have been offended by your statement, DTN, as it could be considered a personal attack, however I look past that to see that it is a stance in order to protect the long term life and quality of the wiki. It's alot of work that could possibly go down the drain should a large portion of wiki-princessing begin to rise here. I appreciate the enthusiasm and opinion of an experienced and really long time editor. I simply wanted to propose an idea that I thought perhaps beneficial to the members of the wiki on a more social level, more than chatting on IRC or talking on Facebook or whatnot. I wanted to open another avenue for the wiki. As a Kingdom Hearts fanatic I want to see this wiki succeed as well. I've trusted it for years when I needed info or explanation on the series, and I want to also help ensure that there is a large fact based website in which one can come for specific details on whatever it is their looking for. I simply did not realise the potential harm that an avenue creating wiki-princessing would bring to us, and I don't want to to happen so I would love to discuss a place in which this could occur, so that a wiki member can enjoy this avenue of team building without the harm of the wiki.{{User:Galexgan/sig}}20:12, 9 June 2011 (EDT) | |||
{{Maggosh|detroit=Novel idea, Galexgan.}} | |||
{{LapisScarab|time=20:37, 9 June 2011 (EDT)|text=An interesting idea<!--though not one I think I'd participate in-->, but, as has been said, it shouldn't be held ''here''. It has absolutely no place on this Wiki, but it seems right up the alley of the Wikia-Wiki. Move the discussion for this over there.}} | |||
In my humble opinion, I'd actually thought about opening one of these at the old adress. I think it would be beneficial to the fan-oriented community, so, Galexgan, please, do not be afraid to present it to the comunity. You'll have my support there at the wikia.--'''[[User:Dark-EnigmaXIII|<font color=black><big>Dark-En</big>]][[User talk:Dark-EnigmaXIII|<font color=gray><big>igmaXIII</big>]]</font></font> 20:48, 9 June 2011 (EDT) | |||
Cool cool. Noting the optimism I'll be heading over to the old wiki to give it a post. See what the ideas are, and just for members sake, report back the final whereabouts or status that the roleplay is going through here. Just to keep those who don't check the old wiki informed.

== The Roleplay Update== | |||
I have two things to report... | |||
1. I have not recieved any replies back from the Wikia wiki as for some odd reason my topic is posted but does not appear in the forums. I can find it by looking in the pages I'm following but looking in the regular forums it does not appear in the Gummi Garage on that site. Even after purging. That's atleast for me. And there are no responses anyway to it... Think I should try posting it in the Twilight Town forum? | |||

2. On the GaiaOnline site I had a dead guild I created a while back which I now tunred into a skin example for the roleplay and some set ideas I had previously. It remains mostly blank in order to remain open for ideas from others. Here is the URL... http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds-home/kingdom-hearts-wiki-s-the-keyblade-war-rp/g.343175/ | |||
