Although we aren’t planning to open our reserves fully until a few days before site open, we thought we’d give two members a chance at an early reserve each. 

Your first ask was never received, and we apologize if you felt we had brushed you off. Tumblr often “eats” asks, and the occasional ones inevitably go missing. 

In answer to your concerns: the staff greatly respects the struggles and conflicts suffered during the Second World War, and intends to be sure our members handle all subject matter with grace and dignity. As with any reconceptualization of a historical conflict, there is inevitably a certain question of where the line lies between honoring and trivializing; and, as with any (good) historical roleplay, the admins have taken care to err always on the side of the former.

Any subject-specific roleplay can (and will) be accused of trivializing its subject matter. All we can ask is that you give us a chance to prove that what we want to do here is honor the men and women who committed their lives to this fight, the soldiers and the brave citizens alike, the women who volunteered as agents to go behind enemy lines, the mothers who sat home and prayed for a letter every day. This is a beautiful era and it is one rich with characterization and the triumph of human spirit, and that fact is self-evident in how many very wonderful books, films, and plays have been made about the time period. 

what constitutes as ‘trivializing’ to you? is allowing people to rp nazis and slave owners not trivializing in and of itself? do the people choosing to rp these things understand the weight behind what they are choosing to rp? have they gone into in-depth research on the subject, are you policing how they are portraying these issues - do the admins themselves know every detail and what is okay and what isn’t to write in order to be able to dictate what is considered to be trivializing (especially to individuals who this effects)? separated entirely from the issue is that roleplays are generally not meant to be books, the rpers here are not shedding light, and they are certainly not performing the sort of in-depth research that is required to go into a historical based fictional novel. 

the fact of guernsey is that there were forced workers. this is not a slave plantation, nor are we encouraging any exploitation of any character role. the focus of the site is the rescue of those workers and the liberation of the island. nazis take villainous roles. good men fight against them.

for those of us who are deeply invested in this historical period, yes, we do take these roles seriously and we do take them to heart. some of our staff are jewish. some of those staff have direct ties to people who lost their lives in the death camps. this is not an endeavor in racism. this is an exploration of a very dark, very serious period of human history.

HISTORY IS UPON US.

15 years. That’s all the peace that Earth was afforded. Now, the kaiju are back, and they are bigger, badder, and stronger than ever before.

Six months ago, a Category 4 kaiju named Mizuchi rose out of the Pacific to ravage Japan once more. Precautionary measures long thought irrelevant saved most of the population, but the two days it took to bring Mizuchi down left their own casualties. As humankind prepares to battle its demons once more, many are left wondering how much longer will it be until all that is left are THE BONES BELOW.

THE BONES BELOW is a private Pacific Rim site soon to go public, and we are excited for you to join us in the world of New Tokyo and the Tokyo Shatterdome! FOLLOW US and track our tag #BONESBELOWRP for updates and inspiration.
