I have an idea, we should create a RP that everyone should join, At that time we will tell how is everyone doing by simply telling telling them what are they doing bad so that they can fix it. I'm just saying so that we can have some stuff clear around this forum.

it sounds good, but it also allows for criticism, from the supportive, to the negative kind. A better idea would be to compile a list of what people can take notes from, in order to be a better RP'er.


ideally, it would be this thread, but overall, helping people to improve will have to depend on an individual's willingness to correct his own mistakes.

I agree, I help many people to join in higher RP's before, at first they were doing this.

"And who are you?" ??? said

and when I helped them, they came to somewhere like this.

As he took a few more steps ahead, ??? began to hear some voices which appeared right behind his back. ??? turned his head slowly so he can see where is that voice coming from. When he notice where it came from he began to a have a small type of a confusing face "Who are you?" ??? asked the unknown person.

They can write more than that but thats all I want to say, I don't have a problem with people that write in lines but if you continue to Rp with someone like that and you always write in pargaghs you know you will get bored sooner or later because he doesn't add no information of his movement of his body, the way he acts etc.

Remember that I'm not saying nothing mean to no one here that writes in lines.

well yeah, sometimes a line or two is appropriate for a conversational scene, but if action is needed, there's definitely the need for something more.

All the things pointed out by me have been from 2 years of RP experience. (And I've been improving ever since! =P)

Color coding or bold texting is optional, and easy to find what they're saying

Using the combonation of color, or even bolding your leters whenever your character says something can easily let people take actions from words on somewhat confusing paragraphs and plotlines.

Example:

Walking down the streets, Cypher looked around and muttered to himself,
"Well, first thing's first; find the building."

I am also unsure about joining any role plays. I've been RPing [ forum, AIM, etc] for years now, and even though I'm a fair player, I tend to write descriptively - like a book. Not as long, but I do write paragraphs of information. I'm also selective on who I interact with, and tend to ignore people who "magically appear" or assume they know my character's name/origin/attributes, etc right away.

I'm also selective on the plots I take part in. I refuse to:

Be the main character.

Be plotted to die.

Be completely depended on, and supporting characters make small posts, leaving the details up to me.

Be challenged endlessly. I like adventurous RP, with SOME fighting. Not the other way around.


Okay, yeah, I'm picky. lol

I don't RP much anymore but I'm used to roleplaying on forums where they usually write at least a couple paragraphs of descriptive writing ;) I usually write about three lines of the same, which is pretty tame compared to everyone else XD But I manage! I also don't like characters who just jump in to the storyline. and say 'hi'...I like starting off somewhere a bit far from where everyone else is and usually end up overhearing everyone else talking or get hit by a robot or something, getting into some sort of trouble. One of my favourites is this one.
ButI hope you guys understand where I'm going. I'm still a bit of a newbie to the whole PBPRPG thing, everyone is so much better than me.

Coloured text blinds people. Also, skim-reading is taught in schools. Who needs coloured text? It's not like you're roleplaying with somebody with the attention span of a goldfish.

Well, i am using color text. Guess you have a point. But i am getting used to use those colors to distinguish who i am talking with as some mix with my caracters and that have happend more then once.

Still, i can see what you mean Gale. As some colors are eather to dark and doesn`t fit with skin at all. Still, what do we have colors if it is so hard to read.

Feel the wrath of who you seen in the mirror. Taking causal steps before tending to crush the glass into pieces lying on the ground. Tremble beneath my wrath and you will soon know your spot as my slave. Hold on, someone's calling me. Excuse me. "Yes. Yes who is this."

I am the Scandinavian Dragon that might confuse the brightest of them all. If you want a better description on what i just mentioned. Then send me a pm and i will take it slowly.

This is my RP Rank overall within the Organization XIII thread. And I am proud of it.

Ergrumble, I hate to ask, But I can NOT find it.

Do you have to post OC's before you RP with them? And if so what info does a character's profile need? *feels stupid*

Edit- I hope this question is in the right spot.

If you mean OC as Official Caracters, then i would say, you dont need any extra to point out, since this is a Sonic forum and many of us knows them, by their looks.

If you ment, your caracter profile. Then i belive you need name and sorta what is explained in the first post. Though i bet it this was about OC. If this is not what you ment, could you please tell me, i have enough knowledge to help out in any way i can.

No, you don't. Most of these RPs ask you to post your bio in the RP, and once everyone has posted their bios, then you start to RP, so there's no need to start a thread for your OC.

Good question, though. :]

OC as in "Orignal character", or I believe I read "made-ups" Somewhere.
Really sorry.. I didn't know OC meant anything else XD *feels like n00b*
