The fewer people who fling themselves at random passers-by the better. What meaning or significance could be derived from this menagerie? What does it do for plot advancement or character development? Aside from creating very inconvenient situations for other characters, it does not contribute to the overall progress of the story in any way.
Short of launching an indictment against anyone, I'm going to side with bowie on this one. For the sake of meaning, if nothing else, refrain from engaging in such silly antics. It's tolerated in animu and mango when it actually adds to the atmosphere or the story, or perhaps even the fanservice potential (ahem pantyflash ahem), but here it's a no go. If we wanted erotica, having a separate thread for that would be far more appropriate, using the word loosely.

Sorry, but I am of the opinion that erotica should not be allowed at all in this forum.
Mainly because I don't want to read IKEA erotica. After all, writing erotica without prior experience is a probable recipe for disaster.

That's not the point, anyway. As Raine says, there has to be a limit as to how intrusive any character can be in affecting any other character. Much has been messed up simply because some people seem to be unable to understand that in this environment, every event occurs because someone wishes it to be so - in other words, there should be meaning to every action, since it's crafted by a thinking being. (If you undertake such actions, knowing that they will not have a positive impact on the story in any way, there can be no other reaction but a facepalm.)
Having completely random and inconsequential asides such as the ones we are currently experiencing should be avoided as much as possible, inasmuch as they do not add any value to the experience of the players involved.

Thusfar I agree.
However, I think we should overlook this issue for now. It should be fine if used sporadically.
However, too much is of course inconducive to this roleplay.
I urge all NPC creators (aside from kim, you're doing fine) to go back, look over and correct your NPCs for this situation (i.e. give them character that isn't 1D), and for future creations to be well considered before finalisation.

Sorry for the erotica. I didn't realise C-cup was THAT big. I always tend to underestimate things, I guess.

Now I just need to craft an ingenious situation where Kris doesn't come out scarred from this. Then again, it would have happened eventually, seeing how 90% of the people have magick.

That is far from the only problem with your approach to the RP up to this point, burn. Having too many characters, all controlled by the same person, in a single interaction, makes it very awkward for other people to post. Please refrain from allowing these situations to occur in future.

I remember a slice-of-life RP that I used to be in (that died a horrible death). The reason it failed was because everyone kept on crowding around certain people. I was the admin there, so the obvious target was my character (stalkers ;_;). It would have been nicer if people had RPed in small groups (as in, their characters meet in smaller situations) than in one big confusing mob.
I think it would help to think like your character and act the way they would act. I know the situation sometimes molds the person, but they still are unique individuals.
Just a suggestion or two, I suppose.
[Edit] Though now that I think about it, I hope it doesn't make the RP confusing if everyone splits into their own groups (even if for a short time). As in--where does one event begin and another end? Are the events all occurring at the same time? Etc.
In my old forum, I tried organizing the topics by day, so newcomers wouldn't post in a past topic unknowingly. I also tried to make a super-mega time line of events, but I couldn't finish before the RP died. >_>

Provide enough description of the time frame, and it should be fine. Like, in my post at the lounge, it was clearly stated that the post took place during the corridorhoboing, and that Mao ordered a kebab at that time. So after the commotion, when people start to go down to the lounge, it should make sense that Mao has already eaten more than half of the kebab or something. actually, just forget everything and read this section: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisational_theatre#Improv_process

I'd assume that at least some degree of premeditation is required if the plot is to be directed anywhere.

y'know, judging by how many people use connections to get in, i wouldn't be surprised if ren'ai academy has a "list of top donors" or something.

lol. the moment i saw the title. "Ren'ai academy", i kinda get the feeling its like some private school for rich snobby kids. xD besides the uber scholars, or those enrolled in for experiments, or those who have no other schools to go to.
