RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
RPEI, a new standard in Roleplay.

We are going to the standard of RPEI - Role Play Enforced Intensively.

We welcome anyone to join this standard who meet the following qualifications. These qualification have been shown in some circles to provide a higher standard in Role Play Intensity and Enforcement of quality roleplay in the genre:Join the RPEI standard by mailing our quality control team that will review your game and if warranted grant you the coveted RPEI stamp of quality roleplay.

For more information on the RPEI standard and certification, ask in this thread or mail the control team.

I don't mean to sound naive, but is this a joke or are you actually serious?

I'm pretty sure its a joke. If it isn't, I'm sorry for laughing out loud.

If so, it should be under MUD Humor.

Maybe it's not a joke.

New Worlds, you forgot to put in contact information. I'm interested in RPEI (pronounced ra-pay?) and am sad there is no one to tell me more.

It didn't read like a joke to me. I read through it because I like to keep up on things going on in the community. Knowing the new acronyms can be handy.

Our gaming world is planned to be more role-play then RPE, but less restrictive then an RPI, but many of the listed conditions in the OP's post would not fit our world.

I suppose we might have to fall under the RPEI2 conditions...

That's great, You create a newstardard not disimilar to RPI because you don't fit into the RPI catergory and then claim you're the Quailty Assurance Team.

RPEI it just sounds hilarous.

So this standard isn't about Roleplay or its merit but the features you have inplace that in your opinon enhance roleplay right?

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
I've submitted your request to the RPEI Team. Someone will contact you with information on how to have your game certified.

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
I'm creating a new standard called the USRPEI, which stands for "Ultra Sweet Roleplay Enforced Intensively!"

It's an improvement on the RPEI "standard" (sorry, I can't say that without chuckling a little) insofar as you can't allow in anyone under the age of 30, you're required to have at least 2000 levels, four flavors of ice cream in-game (no more, no less), and elves are strictly forbidden. Also, you must ban the Swiss from playing. Those neutral bastards can't be allowed to pollute the USRPEI standard. Let them go climb the Matterhorn and leave the MUDing to the rest of us.

The certification team is my dog Nixon. You send her a letter. She sniffs it. She barks once for "accepted" twice for "I smell a f-cking elf" and three times for "I have to pee now."

Once you've received the seal of approval, you will have the right to call yourself a USRPEI. Of course, nobody can stop you from calling your MUD a USRPEI anyway as, much like RPEI or RPI or RPG or MMO or MUD, it is not an actual standard, but you can pump up Nixon's ego by subscribing to it anyway (hint: soak your letter in beef broth before sending it for better chance of meaningless acceptance).

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
Might that not cause a lot of exciting barking leading you to believe your dog suffers from a urinary tract problem?

Mabus 03-13-2008 04:55 PM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
Rats! Only two flavors of ice cream...

Foiled again!

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
As it so happens, the USRPEI standards certification team provides a comprehensive package of design services to help you achieve and retain USRPEI certification. In this case, we would send out a team of consultants (there would be a cost associated with this of course) who would help you pick out exactly the right flavors of ice cream (2 in this case) to round out your current RPICI (Roleplay Ice Cream Index). We have one guy on board that does nothing but implement ice cream flavors into MUDs. You should see his Rocky Road implementation. It's delicious.

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
(Incidentally, I hope you don't take my joking around too personally, NewWorlds. It's just that a standard established by the staff of a single MUD is meaningless, particularly when it comes with such seemingly random, arbitrary requirements, many of which have nothing to do with what the standard implies it is concerned with - roleplaying in this case.)

Delerak 03-13-2008 06:18 PM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
I agree this is kind of silly. And you've deviated pretty far from what an RPI mud is. So it shouldn't even have RPI in the word.

Newworlds 03-13-2008 07:05 PM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
It is good to see you caught on.

Threshold 03-13-2008 09:50 PM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
Hahahahaha. This is a new low. Now someone cannot even have those 3 letters in an acronym - even if the three letters are not consecutive?

Does this mean non-RPIs cannot even call themselves "Not Role Play Intensive" since R P an I are in that phrase? Paradox!

You must work for the US Patent Office.

Delerak 03-13-2008 10:07 PM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
I'm not going to expect someone to understand my view on MUDs use of the RPI acronym. Especially one that probably doesn't play RPI's.

Delerak 03-13-2008 10:15 PM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
Also. You shouldn't jump to conclusions on a forum. I never said he couldn't use the RPI acronym, but he's an acryonym and pawning it off as a hybrid of an RPI mud. Honestly it's silly, either it's an RPI or it's a normal MUD.

Mabus 03-14-2008 01:11 AM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
Can you define "normal MUD"?

Delerak 03-14-2008 01:13 AM

Re: RPEI, The New RP Standard
 
Not an RPI mud.
