RPG General Discussion

[~Ozy~]

Ahhh, she deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame.

But yeah, it just takes practice... And a mind-space with no sense of order halps a lot. Ehehehe... ~

Hardest part? Braind-dead-ness, like RM said. It's a killer. Either that, or trying to make a post of decent length when it's at a part where that's nigh on impossible to do for one reason or another, e.g during character introductions.

[Chibi-chan]

I'm usually not braindead! I sometimes run out of interesting things to write into paragraphs. But then again, I just about started to RP!

[Raichu Master]

How long have you been rping?

Oh and it also helps if your ultimate goal is to become a writer. Wanting to become a fantasy writer, it works both ways, you want to rp good because most of the rping I do is fantasy, and if you do that good, it makes writing a novel that much easier. Well at least that's an easier way to explain it...ok...it was the only way I could find! XD

Maybe hall of fame, Jake...but as I said a guarenteed spot in PC History, meaning our names will come up in convos far from now. XD

[Kalylia]

Mine better, gal danget!!

*pokes RM again* Well, I DID just save your character from a broken neck... XP I think it deserves a little posty anyways.

The hardest part is DEFINATLY the brain-deadness. I hate it when I end up making a 3 line post. Bleh.

And yeah, it does help when you're an aspiring author. *writes more in current fantasy novel* I'm finally finalizing it. It should be ready for the sharks in a year or so!!

[Chibi-chan]

I've been Rping for about a month..I'm in advanced writing for school, so I prepared for RPin'! ^___^ how long have you been Rping?

[Raichu Master]

He climbed back up Quasak, Nat. He's bracing for dear life, but he's still holding on. *sigh* Sorry it was a bit complicated...I was trying to write a decent post...

*pokes Nat* MWAHAHAHA! Take that! I poke you too! (sorry! It's the ginnger ale talking!)

I've been rping for about 2 years. I still can't get to the level I'd like too! *snaps fingers* Just got to try harder...

[Kalylia]

It's NEVER just the ale talking with you, RM. ^-^

I've been RPing for... oh about a year and a half, 2 years. But, I've been writing since I was in Kindergarten. *laughs* I can honestly say that I'm much improved, but far from my desired levels. *curses Terry Goodkind for setting my standards so high*

[Raichu Master]

What's that supposed to mean! *downs a can of ginger ale* Just for that... *poke* MWAHAHAHAHA!

I just started getting into writing when Jake got me into R. A. Salvatore, when I read "Homeland" I immediately knew what I wanted to be.

[~Ozy~]

I started writing seriously (as in, for pleasure and such) in the seventh grade, after I began reading the Wheel of Time series (side note: don't get involved with these books). I've been RPing for two years now, I got started in a Princess Mononoke RP.

[Kalylia]

*laughs* I got started here, in a Pokemon Dance RP... *giggles and blushes* Which is also where I met Jake-chan.

[~Ozy~]

And me oh my, how the time has flown.

[Shadowfaith]

I have been RPGing for...about 2 years now, maybe more because I RPged at Pkmn. co.uk as well, but thatwas just script RPG (Oh mah Gawd!) and then I went to Serebii and started off in an RPG called, 'Pokemon survivor'...really I started out Script RPGing, then 1-2 line posts, then the rule for 4 lines or more was set, so I stuck to that and then...well...I just improved as you do

[Raichu Master]

It was the poor quality to my post...hardly any description, on the verge of powerplaying, always wanting to be the leader, always wanting to play the hero. Then I got wiser, now I have patients and I let other's lead, and my character is just one in a party. I guess I'm trying to say, the most important thing I've learned from my years of rping, is teamwork is a must with rping, and quality is as important as quantity and to make both as best I can.

Then I watch the noobs...and I get a sinking feeling in my chest because I know that was me at one point. It brings a tear to my eye to watch noobs grow into legends... *wipes tear from eye* XD

[~Ozy~]

Ah, I know that feeling. Both of them, in fact. Particularly if you had a hand in their development. Makes you proud, ne?

When I first started, probably my most major flaw was in mixing RP format and Story format. 'Twas a bit of an odd style, vaguely disturbing when I look back on it. I also had a tendency to powerplay, but that was back at the very, very beginning, I dropped that withing two pages of RPing.

[Raichu Master]

I made the mistake of rping on this really really hardcore rping website, it was a zelda rping forum. I got chewed up and spit out for powerplaying on my first ever rping post...needlesstosay I made sure not to do it again, or at least try.

Yeah, Jake, you even had a hand in helping me become what I am. I still look back at the old MaH rps, and I still get the sinking feeling, but it's worst because it WAS me who posted all that crap. I was actually impressed with the size of the post and the sentence structure, but when I stepped back and read the paragraphs, it left a bitter taste in my mouth because even though the grammar and everything was great...the content and what each sentence meant to the overall post was crap. As I said quantity as in detail. Needlesstosay I don't look back any farther than MaH years...I'm afraid of what I'd find.

I'm not perfect...but I'm definitely one of the better out there...

I wonder how R.A. Salvatore rps? I wonder what his email address is, and maybe I can coax him to rp with us. XD

[Kalylia]

*laughs* I remember my early RPing days... *shudders* 2 line posts... who makes a 2 LINE POST?! *shudders again*

Hey, what do you guys consider your best RPing moment? *giggles* I'm still super-fond of Nat's christmas present to Andrew in MaH... that took me FOREVER to do... But it was worth it!! ^-^

[Raichu Master]

Best Rping moment for me? I really don't have one...all my post have been a blur to me ever since Skye started rping with me. It's all just dasa-vu now...hopefully I can break out of that habit.

Can anyone say Quadruplets? That's right the next rp I sign up for...there will be four characters! MWAHAHAHA

Besides I want to break out of the cliche of "twins with opposite personalities" and all my other cliche characters! MWAHAHAHA!

A new breed of cliche is about to be born! MWAHAHAHAHA!

*gets struck by lightning*

*pokes Nat*

*gets struck by lightning again*

[~Ozy~]

Hmmm... My own best RPing? I'm rather hard-pressed. I'm rather fond of what I've done with Chaos, particularly in The Authors. Look it up if you're confused. It's not exactly pleasent, but... It was just so sickeningly evil that it was fun in an odd way.

[Kalylia]

*pokes RM mercilessly* Don't start with me, Ale Boy!!

*bounces around* I'm SO bored... I wish Skye was around so we could get farther into the Academy Rp...

[Raichu Master]

She's been on...but we're kind of busy with planning out a rp right now. We're almost through with it, hopefully then we can start getting further in the Academy rp.

*downs ginger ale and continues poking Nat* You started it! XD

[Kalylia]

*shoots RM with marshmallow fluff gun* And you're continuing it!!

Are you by change planning the Hogwarts RP?

[~Ozy~]

That's the one! I think...

[Raichu Master]

No hogwarts Rp...but a Harry Potter rp nonetheless. You'll see what I mean soon. Hopefully you like it!

Hopefully Skye doesn't mind me telling you guys before we get it out...I'm sure she doesn't seeing as how it's Nat and Jake! XD

*dodges marshmellows*

*downs ginger ale*

*pokes Nat and runs* Try to shoot me now! XD

[Kalylia]

*throws a marshmallow fluff net around RM* BUAHAHAHAH!

I'm sure I'll like ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with HP.

[Raichu Master]

*cries* NO HARRY WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND DO IT! WHY!!!!!!!!!!! *continues to cry*

Can someone tell me why Harry had to dump Ginny!?!?!?!?!

*gets caught by net* Dang...
