Boys and Girls, tomorrow we march into the depths of Hell.
A wallowing pit of despair crawling with annoying furries and shitty godmodders. A dead, rotting racehorse which writhes in a shallow grave, only alive by parasitic heartworms that coil around its intensities.
Maggots flock to the horse, beat to death and squeezed for all its mileage, earning meager sustenance off the undead corpse.
In its prime, this racehorse was strong. Fast. It ran to the top of the forum boards, and while not being filled with the greatest role players ever, it would foster them to make legendary characters and weave awe striking tales.
Now, the very existence of this horse today defiles it's very legacy. We must storm through the pound and put a cap in its head.
This horse is crudely branded as [b]The Dojo.[/b]
We do not do this in spite, but to preserve what The Dojo once was, not destroying its integrity any further.
Some of us are warped and sick, dead, spindly willow trees with dying roots of malice. Some are bright envoys of roleplay's future, brilliant as the sun. Some are grizzled, older members. Clamoring for something new and exciting.
In the retching heat of battle, our personality does not matter. Our race, creed, culture, RP style, quality? All irrelevant. In war, we are all equals under the long arm of death.
Tomorrow, we end a legendary thread and be revered as legends. Tales of our battles relished among reveling patrons of a hearth-lit bar, horrible tales told to the disobedient children of our mortal enemies.
We will be gods!
So, let us set aside our differences, raise our Mozambiques into the air and fight! Fight for a better future of RP!

Not really bearing a dead horse when we get 50k replies in four months....

The replies aren't the problem. You're losing steam currently because other threads are showing up. I think that's indicative of other people not enjoying the thread, but only taking part in it because it's the only thing left. Or rather - was, the only thing left.

Edited by Inflatablepants: 12/23/2016 1:13:52 AMI have been pretty loud in encouraging other RP's to show up. The dojo has been a success. However, I don't think you deserve to criticize it for that fact.

And I commend you for encouraging people to make other threads. Nor was this post to stir hate; it's an inspirational speech for the attackers to get their loins throbbing for a fight. My opinion? The New Dojo is a shadow of what it formerly was. It is a flagrant insult to the original. Other people are getting bored and it's time to end the thread. My personal beliefs are made a bloated idea in this post. And it is all for comedic effect. I do not think the thread is that bad. FN was certainly worse. But it's not as good as it's predecessor.

The middle dojo was the best. But it also had 100 less people. The original was not as good as you remember. Feel free to check it out. One liners, crap stories, Lenny spam. And remember kaneki, Sal and vex always going at it?
-
Yes, but that had some shred of integrity. That was where the great RPers that most of the community look up to were forged. This is part of the cycle, yes, but today's role players are too focused on story. Thematic element. Introduction. It's like raising a kid on soy milk instead of breastmilk. They're not gonna grow up to be that good if they're watered down by quality early on.

So you want more of a less edgy sort of thing and more of a fun adventure?
-
YES. Exactly.
-
Wait hold up isn't this invasion the exact opposite of a fun adventure?!

OH MY GOD IM DOWN. I've had one in the back of my head. But my major plot is going to be an epic.
