They are, but they do not show up when you click on one to find similar tagged rps.

Correction, they now do show up when you search via a tag, so that you can see the other tags that an rp is tagged with.

These are awesome! I also like the open/closed option.

May I request 'western' to add to the list?

Thanks! You're too fast, I was going to edit this in. :) What about 'Dystopian' and 'Drama'? Can't think of anything else. It seems well covered.

I actually just added "Alternate Universe". It could be substituted for "Dystopian", unless you've a reason that you see it as separate?

Also, we've added "Drama" as another tag!

I was actually going to ask about Dystopian myself.

I don't know about you, but I've always seen Dystopian and Alternate Universe separate.

Alternate Universe, as an example, would be like if the South won the Civil War instead of the North.

Dystopian is a bit more flexible, if that makes any sense, in that it isn't really limited. Like the show Jericho, if anyone has heard of it... Yeah, that probably makes no sense and sounds similar... I know what I mean though. I'm just no good at explaining.

Yeah that explanation did not really help....:P

But a Dystopian can be the same thing as Alternate universe, and when I did a good search that is how they came up, together.

You can say that something is an alternate universe and then explain further in the OOC or Interest check just how it is so, i.e that it would be Dystopian.

Personally I see them as two different things. I mean yes, Dystopian is technically alternate universe. However like Sounds I see Alternate Universe as a "what if" world. It's fairly broad too, and people may specifically want to search for Dystopian. Dystopian is a very popular genre, or subgenre, whatever you want to call it. So I think it should be it's own tag.

Though I personally don't see how it is separate, where Dystopian lends itself to the government not the entirety of the world, I've added it. Maybe it's my own language barrier, though, haha. Wouldn't be the first time.

But, yes, "Dystopian" has officially been added to the roster of tags.

I guess it's more about what we're used to. When I look up books, or think about works like 1984, Hunger Games, etc... I never think about them as Alternate Universe books. I think of them as Dystopias. I find it's so popular it's the term people use for those books the most (though I could be wrong). I guess it's because it's more specific than alternate universe. The only time I remember seeing Alternate Universe being used is for what Sounds described.

Anyways, no point in explaining as you added it, but yeah. :)

Dystopia has negative connotations; human misery and oppression. An Oppressive government could be a form of dystopia.

Alternative Universe does not necessarily have to lend itself to a negative environment. It could be a positive one free of misery and oppression. The example of Jericho is an alternate dystopian universe, but we could imagine a universe free of human misery right? If not, then even the universe we have, which is not alternate could be characterized as dystopian due to the presence of human misery.

Attitude | +
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. "

We've already added "Dystopian" just as we've added "Alternate Universe". Google had been as unhelpful to me as it was with Efer when we searched it, both coming up as the same.

But, where we've added them both, I'd like to keep this thread for future tags discussions and requests. If people are still interested in discussing the roles of Dystopian genre vs Alternate Universe, perhaps we could start another thread for such?

We have "Fanfic" as a tag already which is the same thing as "Fandom". I mean when you write something about a particular show/book/movie, etc, it becomes a work of Fanfic.

Fanfic, merely means a work of fiction based on a preexisting world that has a fan base of some kind. As you guys are writing it, the stories are fan fiction. These tags are only applied to the rp sections, so when they are used it is with the understanding it is for a rp. No single works of fiction can be tagged, so there should be no confusion. As for having multiple nations tags, that also does not make sense because there could be an infinite number of nations that would never end based on what people felt like making. The tags in and of themselves is just to help narrow down a search for a particular genre of rp. Once a person finds something they like, then they can read the details in the OOC to see just exactly the rp entails and how it relates to the tag that was used.

I have no suggestions at the moment, just wanted to drop a line to say I'm in love with the tag mod. I would marry it, but it wants to be just friends. Boo hoo.

But really, I love how you can have a clear idea what a thread is about just by glancing at the tags. :)

This just came to me, and I know it wouldn't be used much, but it could be cool if there was a tag like "Finished" or "Complete", that can be applied to roleplays that have reached their end? Then if people wanted to search by tag, they could find and read completed threads. =)
