When we started RPC some people had roleplay ideas that a simple thread alone was insufficient for. We coined the term "Epic Roleplay" to mean any roleplay that required several threads in order to adequately set itself up.
Once your rank advances from "Member" to the next level up at 100 posts, you are permitted to apply for an Epic Roleplay.
You do this by PM'ing myself with the name of your epic roleplay, a detailed description of the plot and a few lines that you want to be used as your board's description. If your Epic Roleplay is approved, it will be set-up post-haste. Below is an example of the sort of detail your request should contain:

Epic Roleplay Request - Slayer Trials
Board Description: An original roleplay set 50 years after the events of Buffy and Angel. The fate of the world lies in the hands of a small bunch of Resistance members as they attempt to take on the First and Its Armies of Darkness.
Plot: The year is 2050. 'Chosen' has failed-Willow's spell did not activate the Potentials and the Scooby Gang was defeated. Some survived- who will be revealed later-and founded the Resistance, a mixture of the Watchers Council and the Scooby Gang. The First became all powerful and coerced most of society into following its ways. Slayer Trials is mainly about struggling through dark times, and the strength of people working together to overcome those dark times.
America has become a war zone as it faced the brunt of the First's victory, though overseas is not much better. The Watcher's Council was reformed although it no longer held the prestige it once enjoyed, operating mainly undercover to train Watchers and Slayers.It's important to realize that the Watcher's Council now mostly consists of a bare fifty individuals who meet in secret, for little pay. The SiTs in America have not had Watchers because the Watcher's Council had their hands full training up new field operatives to go overseas.
In America, people who refused to bow to the First have regrouped have formed a Resistance for normal people and Potentials alike, who are banding together for protection with the Watcher's Council. All of the girls are being hunted because the First is eliminating the competition. They realize that somewhere out there, there's someone who very nearly defeated them. They now pursue every female to the death.
When we say war zone and Season Seven Buffy x10 - thats what we mean. The populace at large has no idea whats causing the current conditions-they blame gang turf fights, they blame youth violence, they blame political mind games, its your general he said-she said about whats happened.
The Resistance and the Watcher's Council alone know the truth. The Slayers Buffy and Faith fell - The First's minions overran the Earth. The areas it wanted, anyway. There are no legions of Bringers marching in Times Square at noon. There are no PTA meetings about how the vampires are leaving blood stains in the playgrounds.
The First is smart - the Bringers execute swift elimination of whomever threatens the Firsts plans. Teen aged girls, the Resistance, and Watchers Council falls under that description. Children still attend school-think of those bad schools in urban cities riddled with gang violence and you'll have the condition of Slayer Trials in Durham Springs. For the most part, life goes on as it always has. Evil just has nothing to stop it. That's where the Resistance comes in.
