RP Tips

[Virus]

So you people know, there are a few rules to RP'ing.

1) DO NOT control another persons character without permission. A quite of few of these I've seen. You want to post a conversation? Just PM the person... Have it just be sent back and forth. It'll also be MORE REALISTIC.

2) DO NOT make you're character unbeatable. Everyone is mortal. You CAN, however, have him barely escape something with his life. But if its an explosion, he better be hurt at least with burns.

3) Make sure what you do makes sense. No random stuff appearing.

4) You may know things your character doesn't. For example, you may read that someone else has a spy in your ranks. You know, but your characters don't. If they seem to know this is VERY VERY bad for your reputation as an RP'er!

5) And lastly, if you're posting just to post.... Don't. Generally, unless you have a good way in, it just seems random, pointless, and annoying to those already involved.

No offense, but this makes little sense:

he sneacks down to the planet surface and goes to find darkstar

when he finds him he walks up to him and hey talk

psyco killer-"reprting for duty waht do you want me to do sire"

You're in the middle of a battlefield... You just WALK UP to the commander of a dark army? You would be SHOT. I guarantee it. If not the AW, the Phantoms would. They don't all know you. Oh, and DarkStar wouldn't know you either unless you made an impression on one of his lords and they reported about you to him. Other than that *HE* would shoot you. That, or rip you into tiny, tiny, tiny, pieces.

" i think i ave just what you need i had to escape the cops and found an underground passage way leading to an abondin bunker follow me"

Where on New Tokyo would there be a random underground bunker? And where would there be an abandoned bunker in a major city?

There should probably be a sticky in this section telling EVERYONE the few rules of RP'ing. I don't like this "So-and-so: Should I go after him?" "So-and-so(higher-up): No, we're leaving." Unless so-and-so(higher-up) is an NPC, you should and control him. It could REALLY screw with what someone is planning.

If someone REALLY doesn't know if something makes sense, I read all the RP stories. That's right, every single post in 'em no matter how boring it is. PM your post to me, I'll tell you how it is. I guess, if need be, I can also help anyone with making it more... readable, and cleaner-looking.

And sorry for flooding in the thread. I thought it was necessary.

THIS MESSAGE WAS NOT MEANT TO BE OFFENSIVE. IF IT IS, BY CHANCE, TOO BAD. I PUT THIS HERE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO RP WITHOUT GETTING PEOPLE ANNOYED, IF NOT PISSED OFF, AT THEM.
