[invalid] #Roleplaying area in chat

Eh there would be conflicts among people wanting to roleplay different things. CDFA has a point about that. In other RP settings, there are multiple different chat areas to RP. There would only be one area for osu!RP.
I have a potential solution for that issue and other issues that are presented.
The same channel could be used for multiple RPs if the RPs were divided into groups on that channel. A user could enter a group via a command, and only members of that group can view messages. If someone would like to start a new RP, they could just create a temporary session and create a scenario via command. A member that is not part of any RP could show up in all chats by default, and members in a RP group can submit a message to the main chat by using a special OoC identifier such as !! or//
!rplist - Show all active RP sessions
!rplist -f -Show RP sessions with friends
!rpjoin <rpname> -Join RP session
!rpscenario -set -Set a message that defines information about the RP
!rpscenario -view -View current scenario (Will not be viewable to all by default)
!rpscenario -view -all -Display scanario in chat for all members of that rp group to see.
Only the RP host will be able to modify the scenario and set rp restrictiosn if any. Passing host can be done through command as well.
It's certainly a complicated idea, but it's possible. This idea will be easier to implement when clans/groups is added to the game if such an idea doesn't render this idea obsolete.

It looks nice but it seems WAAAY too complex for something that doesn't really have a huge demand ouo.TheVileOne wrote:

^I think the best chance for all this to happen is to support those "private chat channel" requests instead...
Every irc network ever lets anyone create any channel. Bancho is an outcast here. I can see no advantages in restricting this.
If we can have something like what TheVileOne suggested implemented, I would really like to see a roleplay channel. However, I think it would be too messy and unorganized without it.
Another solution, like what Otonashi Yuzuru suggested, is a more general channel (otaku). The channel could be used for discussion but users could also advertise roleplays in private rooms in this channel, much like you'd advertise a game in the lobby. You'd let people know what characters are available and the setting. Of course, the private chat channel would still be the ultimate solution.
Also, we have a roll function in the game. Has anyone ever thought of hosting a game of Dungeons and Dragons or something similar utilizing this?

Totally agree
Like wtf that would be just spammy and nonsense lol
Remember this is a rhythm game. I don't think there's a place here for this stuff.
If you want to roleplay, omegle is a good place for this or maybe find specific forums.
There's also skype etc etc.
Like, I know lots of people in #osu like to rp a lot (myself included), but making a dedicated channel for it would just promote people to take it that much further over the edge. Light roleplaying is fine in any channel imo, but it's rare that you see people completely taking on a different character. osu!irc was made for general conversations, and having an extra channel just for roleplaying will completely destroy that idea. The best thing to do right now in my opinion, is to just keep reminding people more frequently to keep the rping light, and people will eventually get the message (hopefully). Also, this is #osu we're talking about, so even if you try your hardest to take the rping out of it, then one, it'll still be retarded as hell and two, people will still be roleplaying;except instead of !faqs for stopping the rping, it'll just be !faqs for the roleplaying channel. And we all know how annoying redirect !faqs are.
...Dammit, I hadn't expected this to be such a long wall of text.
Or use the Off-Topic forum?
If forums were a good substitute for irc, my postcount would have 4 digits right now.

As long as it stays Safe for Work, I wouldn't see the problem.

i personally think an RP channel would be a fun idea, it doesnt even have to be like serious RP or anything, just people having fun with the /me command, at least it would keep most of it out of #osu
CDFA summed up my thoughts here.
We click circles, not roleplaying that we're Cookiezi and wanting to be the best at clicking circles. (I hope you get what I mean by this)

Negative support. CDFA makes very good points about how this would just be a bad idea.
/thread.
I approve (y)
I'd like it for the simple fact that I hate the chat to be invaded with nonsense phrases.
But I'm also aware of the risk this would mean.

Well It would be nice though since #filipino is turning into some #roleplay stuffs which is full of nonsense and it's bothering some filipino players even though we told them to stop it they won't anyway no supp 
since it would be a disaster just by imagining it

This is a circle clicking game, not a circle jerk game. Take your role playing to places where it belongs.
This thread is gayer than what my uncle used to do to me.
Commence /necro. We really need this, it's only getting worse and worse for the people that actually want to talk about osu! in #osu instead of just telling all the people abusing /me command to take it to private messages. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach sometimes reading the things people say in #osu and it's really not needed there at all.
To be honest, the OP's idea sounds kind of pointless and more likely to be a massive mess than anything. I'm one of those people that is really put off by some of the roleplay that goes on in #osu, but I don't think this is a solution that would work out for the better overall.
Pretty much what Amianki said above. There is no reason for a channel like that, it'd only move the "problem" with the high Roleplaying and would be a very annoying place to join.
