I've been looking around for different types of sites that support this specific sort of thing. But one in particular keeps coming up... Anime sites. Little Invision Free ones, and those are easy to get members from.

You guys interested in an Anime support area in your Ziggurat? Might get some members for you, and you can just get rid of it if I don't have any luck.

It might help to get some people here to RPG, if you're interested in Pasidon's idea.

Sounds fine to me, excepting the fact that I know more or less nothing at all about animé or anything pertaining to it. I watched Death Note for a while then it got lame so I stopped...and that is my experience thereof :thumbsupsmiley:
But yeah, I see that as a minor issue so if someone can a) explain to me what the 'ZoD' in the title means 'cos I have no idea and b) actually find some support (enough to make it worth my while to make new forums - that takes like, 5 minutes!) then I'll go for it :rolleyes:
Of course I don't look busy; I did it right the first time.

Ziggurat of Doom

come on, it was you guys who decided on the name, you don't even recognise its acronym?

Anyway, i never watched any anime's. Well, thats a lie, of cause when i was a kid i watched stuff like pokemon, digimon, dragon ball z, etc. But those aren't quite the same as... 'proper anime'? do you know what i mean? not those more japanesey full on anime's. Anyway:

What is an 'anime support area'? what would it actually be?

It was Pasidon's idea, but maybe it would be a section where anime could be discussed, but also allow them to participate in our stuff as well.

Ah. Yeah, I should have figured that out :blink: Shush, it's late.
Anyway I imagine that, this being an RPG base, it would contain animé-based RPs yes? And, as with all RPs, these would inevitably spawn conversation topics in which to discuss whatever.
Of course I don't look busy; I did it right the first time.

So, you approve of this idea?

Maybe anime people would bring this place some spark again. :blink: And they might just be interested in other RPG stuff and vice versa.

Maybe. The good thing is that we would set up a small anime thing here and then get them here. Then maybe once they're here they'll become more interested in the rest of RPG. It's worth a try.

That's how I envisioned it. I agree, worth a try. Do we know anyone who's likely to be attracted by such a thing? Also, what subfora does anyone want? As stated earlier, I would have no idea where to start.

Well, there are plenty of anime sites to look and if we give them an option of anime here as well as some other RPG things then maybe it'll work.

I wonder if it would be wise to find some anime person willing to help us set something up here...that way it would be done correctly.

Didn't get any responses for a few days. Lost track.

Supporting anime would just be making a new category. Maybe in the anime category. But finding a fan to lead that department is easy... right Mirk?

Could be. I could post an ad there asking if anyone loves anime and would like to help get an amie thing started here. I'll do that now and see what happens.

I think it's my decision and if it helps out here then it's worth it. :D

What so bad about good old WoA, anyway? I like it there.

Oi. You knock off that hate on quality Japanese animation. :p

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation
