Okay, so first of all, I feel like there have been a severe lack of actual stand fights recently. I mean, getting drunk and character development isn't necessarily bad, but I feel we're sort of moving away from what JoJo is all about. I know that there are certain moments of character development, but the main "meat" of JoJo are the stand fights. Every single chapter has some sort of stand fight, and in my opinion, we aren't encountering any sort of actual villains with stands.
Take CCR for example, did we have certain moments that weren't stand fights? Sure, but we almost always moved from one fight to the next, just like actual JoJo. What's the point in having all of these villains if we barely use them? That's also one of the main reasons I kind of stopped BMR, sure it was fun, but it didn't really feel like JoJo to me.
So basically all I'm saying is that I feel like there should be more stand fights, because that's what JoJo is mainly about.

You....are missing the point of JoJo.

Okay, what's your take on it?

It depends on the RP and the context, in my opinion. BMR, for example, would have less fights than LiL or PC, but LiL and PC both still have other aspects than just stand fights.

JoJo is about the 'Bizarre Adventure', obviously. It's in the title. Now, you could say the 'Bizarre Adventure' is based entirely around stand battles. But that's not really true. The stand battles are just a larger part of the story. The whole thing about JoJo is not weird magical battles, that's extremely common in anime/manga. It's about the bizareness of those fights, and the bizareness around those fights that make JoJo special. Saying, the 'meat' of JoJo is the stand battles is an insult to good writing and characterization. JoJo is not mainly about the stand fights in any way, its about how the characters live and exist in a world with actual punch ghosts, along with real ghosts, aliens, vampires, evil presidents, stone men, and beetle battles. Saying there's a stand battle every chapter is also wrong, considering JJL and SBR exist. Now, that is pretty much because of the transition from Shonen to Seinen, but still. What I'm trying to say is, the point of JoJo is not about the stand battles. Araki could get rid of stands tomorrow, and JoJo would be relatively unaffected. It's not about the stand battle, it's about the adventure around and including the stand battles.

Alright, I do get what your saying, and I do agree on some points, but not what you said about Araki getting rid of stands. If Araki got rid of stands in let's say, JoJolion. It wouldn't be JoJo anymore, because the paranormal (stands) aspect of it wouldn't be there anymore, it would just be a weird slice of life manga, ala Plastic Nee-San.

Alright, you're probably right about that. The point is, we already have had several fights in PC. It will be fine, we already have a good medium between fighting and development right now.

Just tossing this out there, but, what if we had designated days for each RP? Seeing as how we haven't double tasked like we did that first day that LiL started. I'm sure there's plenty of ups and downs to be considered with this, but people are ready to go for each RP exceptCCRfuckthat and since obviously not everyone is on every day, we could, say, designate a couple days in a row to one RP and then the next couple to another.
Again, just an idea.

That sounds good, but I really would like to finish CCR....

CCR was finished the moment ReqiumFest2k14 started up.
