Question: How do I role-play?
Answer: Some of you might be new to the concept of Role-playing. Though we aren't really strict about how you format what you write or the grammar, it is frustrating for some members to understand what you are writing. Please do put speech between quotation marks though, otherwise it gets really tiring and annoying. Also use commas and fullstops.
If you ever need help for role-playing, an administrator or mod would be glad to help of course. We ask if you are unsure how to spell something to either use the spell check button or in brackets write sp.
Example: He walked and fell rowling (sp) down the street.
Get it? If you want people to take your writing seriously please do use the required quotation marks. If you do not know what a quotation mark is: " "
This is NOT what we want:
Edward sat down in the cafeteria and said I like this food to her best friend Lisa.
THIS is what we want:
Edward sat down in the cafeteria and turned towards her best friend, who was called Lisa. "I like this food," she said and then started eating the delicious rice and chicken.
Please use some description because it adds more depth to your character and creates a good role playing atmosphere.
Always write in third person or past tense because it makes it easier to differentiate your character from you (the writer). Of course you may write in first person or present tense in the C-box. Thank you.
If an administrator asks you to add quotation marks, please don't argue and just modify. It will help others role play with you.
If you have any questions please personal message the admin or mods.
