Title: Charas : A Secret Obsession?
Post by: Dragonium on January 03, 2007, 07:23:47 PM
Well I needed a hard-hitting title, or no-one would be interested.

Anyways, I was thinking: Do your "friends" in "real life" (As in outside of Charas, nubs) know that you use Charas? Or is this something nobody knows about? :D

Me, people know I use Charas, just not as frequently as I do. :D If anyone remembers Jaded Rockstar, he's a friend of mine (He didn't stick around long, but he's still working on the game he posted as soon as he arrived).

Anyway. Discuss.

Haha! Very cool topic. I can honestly say no one really knows, cause none of my friends are into online communities. I've pointed this place out to a few of em (as well as RPG Maker) but they mostly run to the resource section. Of course there are other fun communities we all frequent, but Im the only charesian out of us.

Not mostly. I mean my wife sees me on the forums but she doesn't really know what it is other than it has to do with RPG Maker.
I wouldn't like.. tell people about it, and I never use my computer while I have people over since that's rude.

edit: Actually, some of my work friends use RPG Maker, so they use the generators and stuff..

Yeah, most, if not all of my friends, know I use rpg maker and sprite for it. A  lot of em know I'm on here, as well as a few other sites just cause there's no reason to hide it. Like that KuraiKitsune that was here a few days. She was a friend o' mine, just with massve computer restrictions.

I think I got Archem to join Charas.. My memory is a bit foggy though.

I don't really tell people about this place unless they're interested in RPG making.

One of my friends came here before, but he left not long after. He doesn't use RPG Maker. Maybe once in a great while just to screw around.

No, but I have mentioned I go to forums.

If I recall correctly, my friends don't know that I am a member here, but that isn't because it's a secret.  Hell, I've probably mentioned it, but it's not a big deal to them, so why remember?

They do know I sprite.  Afterall, I won a spriting contest on another forum and I was all like "Yay!"  Obviously I explained why I was in a good mood.

Why would someone keep this kind of place secret?  There's nothing forbidden or illegal.  Well, besides that it's formed around using an illegal program, but that's not important.

Yeah, I'm not hiding it, there's just no reason to tell people about it.

I brought a guy here, but he didnīt get to dig the thing...heīs not a forum guy...

Post by: Archem on January 03, 2007, 11:10:54 PM
Pretty much averyone knows. Why? Is it supposed to be some dirty secret? Like, is it on the same rails as going out to that one patch of the woods where all these men have anonymous gay sex? Because that kind of thing shouldn't be getting around, now should it?

Sure. Shame is a virtue, though.

I've got maybe two people who know about this place, and a few more who know I like RPG Maker. It just doesn't come up. It's not that fun to talk about unless they really like RPGs.

Eehh... I don't hide it per say. I just don't have that many people to tell.

I've shown it to a few friends, but I doubt they remember.

I have 2 friends who have used the gen while back.

They both know of Charas and also Trevlac uses it but he doesn't count.

Post by: Weregnome on January 04, 2007, 08:56:53 AM
My m8s know, but the only person I really discuss Charas with is Razor. So yer, if people hear us talking about it then yer, they know. Charas is just a forum. Its not like its a secret terrorist organisation....







.... or is it?

Dun dun dun...

nope, no terrorists here. Report back to base.

Indeed. We are not a terrorist organization. We are merely a group of individuals boming buildings and killing people in posession of the power crystals so that we can slay the evil that is known as the Organization of Random Peoples. There is a method to our random-slaying madness.

I've mentioned it to other people I know, but rarely by name.

I'm a terrorist....

Post by: Kinslayer on January 05, 2007, 01:25:16 AM
I've mentioned the fact that I'm in this forum to a couple of people, and very few know the name of "charas project", not many people around here are interested in RPG's or forums.

And yes, I'm a terrorist too.

Post by: Emerates on January 05, 2007, 01:59:56 AM
The only friend of mine that knows I come here is the one that showed me the website in the first place and got me a copy of RM2K3.  The ironic part is that I'm a registered forumer here and he isn't.

Other than that, this place remains classified.

My friend showed me the resourse site, but I logged into the forum myself. He goes by john6187 (see my legend of semathia topic in the junk bin.) He vanished from the scene ever since that incident. A warning about him. Don't expect any credit from him. He says you guys are not worth to credit. This only applies if he ever releases a game. Plus he tends to flame anyone who flames him.

Let's see, my brothers raid the complete resources.  They aren't my friends though.  I had one friend interested in working with RPG Maker, but in the end I ended up doing quite literally everything, so I convinced him that RPG Maker caused cancer.  Another friend used the complete resources for about a month.

Hijinks.  What a crazy word.

Post by: drenrin2120 on January 06, 2007, 06:22:13 AM
I don't tell anyone mainly for the same reason is About, it's just not as interesting talking about Charas or RPGMaker with someone that doesn't know the system. I told one of my friends once and all he had to say was, "Wow, those are like SNES graphics. I'd rather play WoW."

So, I'm not ashamed of Charas, even though it is the geeky side of me. Only a few people know that I go here and only one remembers. lol

5 of my friends have been charas members at some point. My games have been played by more people than that, though not many bothered to complete them.

One of the 5 was the person who introduced me to rm2k3, though I seem to remember finding this site on my own.

So yah.

Well, I've got a friend who I introduced to RPG Maker--he got onto Charas recently, I think. His name is The Mummyxxx, something like that.

But that's it.

Post by: Darrellito on January 09, 2007, 09:59:31 PM
Freinds? What freinds?


But yeah, the only person in this town that i know uses charas is Tmlunder. Me and him started using rpgmaker and wanted to look for a site with good resources, and this was the first one we found.

There are friends, enemies, aquaintances, rivals, adversaries, etc.

They are all brought here for one thing, Making rpgs.
