okay I have my answer no need for more discussion. Vote if you'd like but I require no more comment everyone is generally saying exactly what I expect in regards to dislikes.

I disagree with that. I find a post-based and more established formatting to be better both aesthetically and organizationally. I also find the ability to use things like tabs and different threads to be useful in a way that a document isn't.@Idea you don’t need an email to use Google Docs. And it can actually have the same or better organization than RPN.
And an email is only required for the individual who creates the documents initially. Everyone else just needs to follow a link. There is no sign in or email exchange required.
So you have to manually check them every day
My doc has the equivalent of tabs (links at the top of the doc like at the top of a thread on RPN). In document links (known as bookmarks) that help you navigate through the document. Outline side bar that helps you navigate the document via headers. It looks pretty and posts are clearly separated . . . not trying to change your mind or anything, but GDocs are as organized as RPN threads (if not easier because in the end you also have Drive where you see the folder with all the documents in it, which I guess is similar to the threadmark system on RPN? I haven't used that yet).I disagree with that. I find a post-based and more established formatting to be better both aesthetically and organizationally.

I guess I was wrong. Looking at that, RPN still seems plenty more organized, but again, that is to me.My doc has the equivalent of tabs (links at the top of the doc like at the top of a thread on RPN).

Here let me show you (blurred some stuff that has like actual info in the doc!)
While my documents page is white, you can actually make the page any color you like. Just incase you'd like to do that with your own documents.page itself will always be paper white
Yes I will venture a guess and say interest in the actual RP is key number one. Here is hoping my scifi idea is interesting enough. Never know till I try.It all really depends on how interested I am in the roleplay itself, so if I am absolutely in love with the idea I would definitely be open to using Google Docs.
For sure! There will definitely be people who wouldn't mind at all. The example screenshots you shared look quite neat and organized, I think I actually prefer that layout to most BBCoded posts.Yes I will venture a guess and say interest in the actual RP is key number one.

Though it is promising that the poll isn't 100% NO and there are some YES & MAYBE in there.
I'm curious as to how adding replies would work, however: Will people be editing the document directly and you can sort of see the process of everyone's posts, or is it a copy & paste sort of thing? I guess it could be up to the individual at the end of the day, but I'm wondering for consistency.
Understandable. I live on drive for so many different projects it's just part of my daily experience. But if it's not for you or others it makes sense it would be hard to integrate into a daily routine.For me, it's a no because it means one more app on my phone that I need to keep track. I barely even check my discord or LINE anymore. I want to keep my RP in one convenient place, so far RPN is able to provide me that.
True and untrue. You can share a edit link, but I'll be keeping my documents view only.
So I would require an email address to add users to the document and give them individual permission to edit. To keep the IC Document free of non-players posting.
EDIT: you may also REQUEST access too, but either way your email address is added to the document to give you personal access and ability to edit.
I am going to assume anyone willing to RP via Docs is somewhat aware of this . . . but I feel it is no different than checking RPN every day to see your notifications. Granted I think RPN has a setting that emails you notifications too, but then you're checking your email every day . . . so same soup different day.
ApfelSeine Not really understanding the correlation of speed and lacale. I am fairly certain you can RP fast or slow just about anywhere may it be a thread, instant messenger, email, pen and paper, I don't think there is any concrete evidence that says if you RP fast use location A and if you're slow use location B. My experience says fast or slow you can RP anywhere don't matter.
I am assuming like everyone else that notifications seems to be the big determining factor. But as I said to middleagedgeek, if you log into RPN or check your Email every day because you're invested in an RP making you actively seek out notifications / updates; that I would go out on a limb and say that you'd also then actively check your GDocs assuming you're invested enough to seek out any new content.
This is just me but I assume most people don't turn on or check websites they aren't active on, but when they are they make the conscientious effort to check it. Setting up a bookmark on their browser for easy access for example?
Not trying to change anyone's mind, just putting out there that notifications or not it's literally the same as actively checking a website to see there are updates. So I think setting up a bookmark isn't a far fetch or alien concept for anyone. Nor particularly unreasonable.
I would like to think people wouldn't instantly forget about their RP, regardless of where it is.
There is also a discord server for chatting, so people can post notification that they've made a post.
Same way you do in a thread.For me, personally, I don't have a clue as to how to roleplay over google docs.
