RP = Roleplaying

[Drakedragon]

Actually DG weren't you in one on this site before? I remember reading it. Wasn't it called Sega Genesis or something like that? I loved reading that rp. You, Will and that other guy did really good.

I'm in quite a few rps. One of them I'm getting very frustrated in. Mainly because the people in it won't slow down. Yesterday I finally got fed up and left. Now they're begging me to come back...well at least one of them is.

I agree with the whole mispelling and improper grammar thing. I hate the 'u' or 'o how r u?' thing. I can read it, but it just gets annoying. There's also the whole posting like so:

Neko: oh hey! *runs over to Sonnie*
Sonnie: Hey Neko!

That gets really annoying and really ruins the quality of the rp.

[DG-sama]

I have been in one or two. Genisis Eve was a good one. Everyone in it could RP really good! I wish there were more like it

God damn you signature WORK!

[Drakedragon]

I can usually get in at the very least a paragraph, but there are times when I'm just not feeling creative. There are the times when I have more than one character. Then I can get in at least two paragraphs per post most of the time. My rping skills still need alot of work sadly enough.

[Stratadrake]

I am involved in one RP thread myself. I created a character profile for one of my drawings completely on a whim, because I figured I should keep my writing in practice.

In other words, I'm treating it like a collaborative novel.

[Aomi_Armster]

i have not done anything RP-wise
in four years. :wacko:

[DragonicFlames]

::cough.:; Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmm.... Now it's time for Df's posti ng about rping here and there... :)

I am what you call a traditionalist. I started out with D&D since I was like.. four? And moved onto aol chat rping.

I was taught by the "masters" the elitests of that time about the novelistic type of roleplaying which many people seemed to hate. Meaning, more post = goodness. I have fought at a 50 -60 post enterance and action TB (turn base) fight before. It took me all night long too and the other guy quit.. the lazy ass.

So I try to make my posts as long as I possibly can. I have started doing it more so on here now that I am acustomed to rping here. See I started the playwrite, well not really the playwrite format that everyone seemed to be doing.

You know the whole:

Name:
Age:
Species:
Look:
Bio:

you know what I mean right?

Well with Ogrim_Doomhammer's latest rp (Kindom of... elmdash?) anyway name is not important.

I have decided to peacefully reject any and all playwrite format from now on. I will be posting only in the Novelistic ways that I was brought up in and thusly shalt I smite the world of rping in these forums with my justly.... never mind. You don't want to read all that do ya?


Now if your not a rper and you have a short attention span, your not going to want to read the next couple of posts I make, because you probably might die of details/rants on the rping forums.

:) Ok?

BTW: I am a [i]retired[/i] roleplayer from the aol chats. I retired in the summer of 2004 or was it 2003? dunno, but i retired none the less, because after all all there were were newbies..

err... let me start my new post(s)..

[DragonicFlames]

Alright then..

before I go on, let's play some ground rules that I live my. This is like my code of honor. :)

[b]DF's Code of Honor[/b]

Moding: Moding is when one character forces another character to take a hit. This hit will probably be something that was not warnted and was not issued in the correct path.

[u]For example:[/u]

[i]Character 1:[/i] ::slashes sword at character 2, hits and kills character 2.::

This is a HUGE... no let me put up something a little bigger..HUGE No. You do this in any aol chat... no you do this ANYWHERE and you are imediately labeled an asshole who doesn't know anything from s**t.

Now, say your character is in a fight, an actual agreed on fight with someone who has set terms and has placed a paragraph limit on forced hits. (Meaning that you have to go over the amount of posts in order to cause damage. ) These posts must include atleast some aiming, air/wind pressure, force of the hit (meaning how much weigh has been put on the blade in order to tell how far in the blade will go.), and the character's movements in order to cause the blade into the other character.

[u]For example:[/u]

Say that the post (meaning a paragraph of 5 lines if not more) limit is 4 and a half to allow a forced hit.

[i]Character 2 (character 1 will always be played as the "newbie"):[/i]

:: Character 2 holds his/her blade at the ready. The other man/woman was standing infront of Character 2. His/her breaths were cold and icy as he glared down upon the fighting partner. It was rather chilly, which would push air into Character 2's face as he judged the distance towards Character 1. With a sigh, he started calulating his next move.:: (post 1)

:: Character 2 moved to the right, causing Character 1's eyes to follow (this may be typed for the characters are in a fight and after all where else would character 1's eyes be looking?) character 2's movements. Character 2 could see the glint in Character 1's eyes. Character 1 was confident that character 2 would not be able to gather the strength, the energy, the will to fight him/her. Character 1 had made a very sad mistake upon his/her judgement of characrer 2. Again, another blast of the air caught character 2 to close his eyes.:: (post 2)

(it was probably preset in the other post [ sometimes TB posts will over lap each other] that character 1 will charge character 2, as in stated post, character 1 will slash at character 2)

:: In this brief instant, Character 1 started to charge straight for character 2. Steping back and to the side, character 2 caused Character 1's charge to be altered and slowed him down, just a fraction of an instant. Character 2 brought his/her own sword up and met Character 1's slash. Nearly having the blade crushed into his/her skull, placed character 2 into action mode. Character 2 bucked the blade of character 1's sword up, out of range of character 2's head.:: (post 3)

:: Character 2 thusly pushed the hilt of his sword into the exposed area of the chest of Character 1. Character 1 was pushed a few steps away from character 2. Having knocked some wind out of character 1. Character 2 Pulled his blade up infront of his chest, knowing too well that the next smack of Character 1's blade will be harder and full of rage. And so the next smack of character 1's blade nearly knocked character's 2 sword out of his/her hands. Nearly.:: (post 4)

:: Character 2 swung around and caught character 1 off guard to the right side. Cutting into the flesh, it was not very deep, but still enough to cause to bleeding. Character 2 was sure he nicked some of the muscle tissue there, which incased a series of important veins. If character 2 did not finished off character 1 quickly, character 1 would bleed to death. Character 2 pushed away and made sure that he was out of character 1's sword range.:: (Post 5)

See how that was much better than the first one? Interesting what you can do if you have some time and you actually thought about what the hell your doing.

----

Godmoding: Is when you are either immortal and/or when you sat that you cannot die when a serious wound is inflicked upon. Character def. When playing a "god" like character or even a god him/herself.

(character def. will pop up from time to time, when it relates to a spefic type of character)

[u]For Example:[/u]

[i]Character 1:[/i] :: Coughs, but looks up at character 2:: You think you can hurt me? I AM IMMORTAL! Imperivous (word will probably not be used in a newbie's post, but I like it.. ) to death from small wounds.

Character 1 is obvious short in the times. This is where Character 2's owner would pull out the "void" card. The void card take place when someone has not stated in an enterance post that he or she is in an immortal race. Now immortal races are only allow to fight when it is just a spar between friends to test their ablities and not an actually. This "void" card may be used when a forced hit (moding) of anytype happens if the moder (person who has moded) had not done a very good job of planting the forced hit. (meaning, just stated he hit the other person's character and that was that)

If character 1's owner does not accept the void card the match is ended. Because what is to stop character 1's owner from doing it again and again to let his character live. This means that character 2 has won, by default.

( let's say character 1's owner has accepted the "void" card)

----
Powerplaying: when an character (such as character 2) is rped by someone other than the character's owner with out permision.

[u]For example:[/u]

[i]Character 1:[/i] :: Character 2's blow affected him little, but would slow him down. So Character 1 smiled, trying to cover up his pain. Character 2 then lowered his weapon and stepped closer to character 1 offering a peace treaty. But little did character 2 know that character 1 was not about to accept such a thing. with a flash of the blade, character 2 fell to the ground, headless.

::tsk tsk tsk.:: Character 1's owner is a bad little boy. Character 2's owner now claims the victory. For when ever someone else uses your character to kill it, it is an instant win to you. Because powerplaying is outlawed in the rping world and has become punishable but death to the powerplayer's characters. all of them.

Character 1's owner decides to appolgize (which he wont in real life ) and starts up where he picked off, again for the second time.

[i]Character 1:[/i] :: Falls on the ground, not having the strength to live and thusly dies from injures that he has sustained.::


:) and we all live happily ever after right?


WRONG

Cont. on next post

(FYI, the reason I did this in playwrite format [ei: Character 1: <~~ ] was so that we understand whose post we are talking about. A good roleplayer would have followed that with out need for it, but since there are a few people who are here who aren't really that experienced, then I put that up there for their sake. )

[u]Thank You, Layz :heart:[/u]

[DragonicFlames]

Ghosting: Character def. when a character dies, a ghost may appear over the body, will sometimes haunt places or people.

[u]For Example:[/u]


[i]Character 1:[/i] :: He dies and turns into a ghost. This ghost hovers above his body. looking over to Character 2.::

The reason this is not allowed is:

1) Not everyone believes in ghosts.
2) It allows a character to live when it has been killed.
3) Defies the killer (not meant to be a bad term, but you know) the right to claim an actual victory, since the character is alive.

NOW there are characters that are ghosts. But they are like a species, rather than what every character goes through when they die. Ghost characters are used in particular instances that have nothing to really do with the death of another character (besides the ghost character).


----------
Magics

So Character 2's owner decides to cast the ghost character in heaven or hell which ever one it belong, by way of magics. <_< after all it, this basicly the only way a ghost can be destoryed.. well.. you know what I mean. :)

[u]For Example:[/u]

(Now as stated in previous posts there are rules that have been laid out in the fight. Which include magic. No healing (considered a magic) and no reviving/resurecting (which is why character 1's owner could not do such things.)

Often magics are placed under post limit. The post limit is 3 for this fight. this must include, if not more, the summoning of the power, the projecting of power, and the casting of the power.


[i]Character 2:[/i] :: He looked over the ghost, and calmly decided to put the restless spirit to ease. He was going to send the soul into heaven, that way it would rest in peace and not be an angry spirit. He sheathed his sword, for now it was no use to him. Steping forward with his left foot, firmly planted on the ground he started to chant. His fingers slowly begain to move in the rhythym of his chant.:: (post 1)

:: He started to build up his power. Pulling it from the energy reserves of his soul. Gathering it from other sources, such as the ground and the plants. He called unto the spirits in heaven to open it to allow entrance for one spirit. His eyes were shut, shut tightly, for one knows that one will be blinded from the sight of heaven's lights. His energy was bouncing around him like electricity. Pulling at his clothes and the air around him.:: (post 2)

:: The air around him was packed with energy as he moved his body to its rhythym. Calling out for the spirits of heaven to guide the lost one into heaven. Tilting his finger tips up, into the skies. He pushed his energy out, while in the same time capturing the lost spirit that had been trying to get away. It was wrapped in his power. He pushed the spirit into the skies, with an offering of his own spiritual energies. It was accepted and so was the spirit.:: (post 3)

:: He fell to the ground, his body drained. He thusly fell asleep on the soft grass..::

Awwww... so cute.

*Important*

Never assume you are more powerful than another person. After even one simple magic spell, your character is exasted. Unless you have split your character's energies into many spell in a rapid amount, there is no way you can recover fast, with out having a potion of some sort (which is also outlawed in most fights by default, for some potions grant the person powers, including some jewelry which will have to be accepted before hand.) :)

I hope I have helped some what.

:P

Strata is so cool... :wub: :wub: :wub:

D.F. all I can say is, your just plain old great. I agreed with every point you brought out back there about Rp's.

[azure-draco]

i used to RP alot back when i was about 12 years old. It's was fun.

my sister and I RP passing papers back and forth during church though...but those are stupid storylines that couldn't be taken very seriously.. :D

..unless you consider RPing in games. I do RP and act in-character while playing games like Neverwinter Nights...if that'd count.

[DragonicFlames]

xP

So many spelling errors. xD! what the hell I'm not going to correct them, you get the general drift.

Thanks Talin.

I feel like I am missing a couple pieces, but thats alright I covered most of it.

;)

BTW Azzy (some how I am thinking this is assy xD! ) RPG is the term your want to use.

RPG: A role playing game. Such as D&D and other consol games. Will accidently get confused with RP, which is a free write not based on anything or any particular plot.

[Jailcrow_of_Mandos]

Hey, I actually see your purpose with this now, Strata, lol. And rules are all well and good, but 'godmoding' is not a probelm here so far as I've seen. It's just bad role-players. I was in one of FAC, but we've recently moved it, along with any other we thought showed a shred of creativity. Now we can try them with writers we trust I'm now part of three, a Napoleonic rpg, First-Age Lord of the Rings, and a Harry Potter one. I finally came to terms with HP, realizing that it isn't JK Rowling's fault most of her fans are idiots and think HP came out before LotR.

In any case I can balance with thso ethree because I have no life. This is evident by my ability to write 3-5 developed and interesting paragraphs several sentences each for over 20 characters. What I find amusing is when RP-ers here try to pass it off as if they're better than anyone else by splitting one real paragraph into three tiny ones. Oooo, tricky.

[hikari0205]

i've never RP'ed before......but then again i don't think i will..it just doesn't seem like my type of thing...but other people like it so then it's good for them

[DragonicFlames]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! DF has ANOTHER rant and this one wont be as pleasant as the other one.


WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE LACK OF INTELIGENCE IN THE RPING FORUM? HAVE WE ALL COME TO SHITSVILLE ALREADY? HAS THE SPAWNS OF THE NEWBIES FROM THE AOL CHATS COME DOWN UPON US???????!!!!!

Yes, I feel the doom of the rping forum closing in upon us.


FIRST OF ALL LET'S GET SOME s**t CLEAR FOR ALL YOU NEWBIES!

OOC( Out of character): means I am talking to you, not my character do not include me in the rp as if I were a character.

IC (In character): means that I am playing as another character and not myself


Mun Bubbles/Mun Brackets: YOU USE THEM TO TALK IN OOC or to a person who is OOC. ( ) or [ ] are mun bubbles/brackets

(little dashes mean I am going to expand on this and probably rant on it too)
- WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! You can't f**king get it through you head that I am NOT f**king RPING when I am yelling at you with mun bubbles on? ARE YOU STUPID? CAN YOU NOT SEE THEM?! Are you BLIND BEYOND ALL REASON?! Goddamnit! If I see another person.. ONE ANOTHER PERSON, talk to me with out them and I am not IC THEN I AM GOING TO f**king BEAT THEIR CHARACTER (aka charries which I will be reffering to for the next few posts) ASSES UNTIL THEY PUKE UP AT THEIR f**king KEYBOARDS! I AM TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT! If I were a mod... and would so f**king edit their post until they f**king get the idea.. or give them warnings until they get it through their thick skulls that there is SUCH a thing as MUN BUBBLES! GODFUCKINGDAMNITJESUSFUCKINGBUDDAHONAFUCKINGCRACKER!

Lurkers: Are people who will walk into a rp and read it, might even chat in mun bubbles, but they do not enter a chat.


- HOW THE HELL CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THE f**k A LURKER IS?! Is there NO common sense any more. Hello! I mean duh, first thing that comes to mind when you see someone down at the little box underneath the posts and they have never ever entered your rp. Lurking! Why is that so hard to f**king understand?!

Newbies: people who have just started rping.

- IN YOUR RIGHT MIND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU STARTED A WEEK OR A MONTH AGO THAT YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD?! I know people who could do a complete 150+ post kick your charrie's ass into the next world and then back again fight in the next hour just beating the s**t out of your charrie . THERE IS NO WAY ON f**king EARTH THAT YOU ARE EVER GOING TO BE THAT GOOD IN A WEEK OR A MONTH (don't even play because I will embarass your ass when I bring on of them on here. Not a threat, a promise of death). I CAN'T STAND YOUR SNIPPY ADDITUDES ANY f**king LONGER! I am NOT going to KISS your ass just because you started brand new! It's probably already dirt anyway.

N00bs: are people who have been on long enough to know what they are doing but don't f**king do it because they think too f**king highly of themselves so they act like newbies to get other people pissed off.


- Why the hell would you do this anyway? I mean... just no!


SECOND THING:

YOU HAVE NO f**king IDEA HOW TO MAKE A f**king GOOD RP! What you think a little paragraph and some rules are a good plot for a rp?! No, you have to explain s**t, like the setting, time, powers, age limits (for charries and people like), what you're willing to take and what you're not.

Have some BRIGHT ideas for once! I mean there is no way that "TEEN TITANS" or "NINJA STORM, POWER RANGERS" is a good plot because you have set in characters that can not expand and ONTOP OF THAT you are using COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL WHICH CAN GET YOU ASS SUED.

- and on that note of copyrighted material. DO NOT USE CHARRIES THAT ARE PREMADE! Like "Jack Sparrow" or "Neo". WHAT THE HELL?! Do you lack ORGINALITY IN YOU MUNDANE LIFE SO YOU HAVE TO SNITCH ON COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL?! WTF!

How the hell is this a good plot:



On an island. People are mutated. They live to gather food and are trying to survive normally.

rules:

No godmoding
No Hijacking (meaning you can't use other people's charries) <~~ THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF WHEN I SEE THIS (not playing..>>; powtaz or anyone else)
No Romance
No fighting

Oh and:

Name:
Age:
Sex:
Looks:
Bio:

....

........

............................................................................


OH YEAH THAT'S SO f**king GOOD OF A PLOT RIGHT THERE! You know you explain how we got on the island and you explained if we have any injures and obviously we all must be women or men because there is no romance and don't you think if a group of people were alone on an island that they would f**k each other? I THINK SO! Oh and no fighting because we are all nice civilized people on this island we have neat clothes and TVs there too.


Oh and we are just trying to survive... from WHAT? it's not DESERT island where there is no plants or water or food? and we are obviously VERY close to a shore line that we could just hope right onto and get the rp over with..

yeah that's great. so awesome dude!
<_<



Third thing:

THE PLOT STAYS THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RP! There are NO twists NO changes, NO NOTHING! Just the same ol' same ol' WE DON'T WANT THAT. WE HAVE THAT ALREADY! It's about time we have some EXCITING damn rps that people with ACTUALLY WANT TO RP IN! DON'T YA THINK?


Fourth thing:

THE NEVER ENDING RP THAT DIES OUT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF PLAYING WITH IT! There's is NO ending we just get doing it over and over and over. ( i hate to be crude but) if you think that we humans who like things done fast, whose guys jack off every five minutes, don't you think that they would be a little pissed if they could never finish? HAVE A f**king HARD ON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE?! is that what a good rp is? we can't ever have A NICE or BAD ENDING?!

Are we doomed to sit there bored out of our minds, with out having some conclusion?! ????????












Obviously some little fucker by the first part of the s/n scorch has pissed me off, highly. So if you see him after reading this, flip him the bird, because i just want you too.

<_< <_<

[Fayore]

Wow, DF. Really passionate 'bout this, huh? Anyway, you = teh win. Although that was quite a bit of profanity. ^^; I couldn't agree with you more.

My opinion of RPing? I love it. I started out with a bit of D&D. Started forum RPing on Gaia, but then when that place turned out to be a bucket of n00b RPers who didn't know s**t about RPing, I stopped RPing in general.

I recently started RPing again in one of the threads in the RP section here. I like it because it's like writing a story.

[quote]Besides, I'm afraid that if I ever did role play I'd just ruin it by saying, "Um, what do you want to do?" *twittles thumbs*[/quote]

I used to think like that too, when I first started, but then one day I realized that if you're RPing with a good group and your "DM" knows what they're doing, you shouldn't have to worry because the other people will incorporate whatever you do into the story. ^_^

Something that kinda annoyed me in our RP forums here is that a lot of people have a habit of recycling old characters to use in new RPs. I know it's their choice, but honestly - is it so hard to create another character? Using the same character over and over again doesn't strike me as being very original. Also, some characters may be better suited for their own RP where they were created - trust me, using your "demon-angel cliche" character isn't going to tide over very well if you try to enter them into a sci-fi RP. Not only that, but, even if the "DM" says,"Yeah, you can be any race" doesn't mean that you have a good reason to recycle your character.

Not only that, but I find that a lot of people use the "same" character over again even if their character is a newly-built one - a lot of the RPers I see have "different" characters when all their characters actually have the same personality. =_=; It bothers me a little, y'know?
