1. How To RP
Hello, I know there was a thread made how to role play but they did not exactly explain how to Role Play. Usually, well most Role Plays want at least 5 sentences. I've Role Played since I was little. I Role Played on WoW (Yes it is possible).

If you want to make a good Role Play Thread. Be sure to decorate it nicely and most likely anyone would join because you were creative.

I will be showing an example soon but in a new post.

Now, before you post your introduction and anything else. Make a table of Contexts. Now that will be a lot easier to find something in the thread so they don't have to go all over the thread.

This is what a Table of Context can look like.

ταβlє öƒ cöη†ącτ§

жIntroduction
жStory and Setting
ж Rules
ж Profile Skeleton
ж Accepted Profiles
ж Links
ж Reserved
ж Open


See it? You can decorate that as well but going to this thread and this thread can be helpful to decorate your post for your character. [x]

Now here's where I'm mostly seeing Errors in. The Rules.
Usually you hardly see anything in it. Some people don't even mention ToS.

Here's what a decorated and most needed rules.


яůℓэs

(( T o S )) ;; Please follow Gaia's ToS. There will be no cybering! If you must do it go to private messages.


(( PROFILES & ACTIVITY )) ;; Please send all profiles to Carnadhiel. I will put them in the Profile Thread. Title the message 'A Romance Tragedy'

Do not just join and not be active. You must be active at all times, unless of course the thread dies. But let's not let it die please and thank you! <3 Carnadhiel


(( L I T E R A C Y )) ;; You may post with 5 sentences but no shorter. You can go longer but please not too long like a story. Thank you! Please make sense people! Don't rant on s**t. Only third person allowed.
I would like if you decorated you posts a little. Like icons or a picture(not a giant picture) or maybe even a quote.

Please use proper grammar and spelling. If your really bad, try typing your paragraph in a spell checker.

Keep OOC talk to a minimum please. If you are leaving please tell us so the person you're roleplaying with doesn't sit there and wait forever for you to come back. Use [[]] {{}} or (()) for OOC and "" for talking. No -- or ** for actions.


(( Respect ));; Respect me and the people who are role playing. Don't just ignore someone who is trying to role play with you because you think they suck. Get to know them guys!

Do not come here and complain about someone else. If so I will have to be forced to remove you and kick you out of my Thread. Got it? Good

((Note: This is from my Role Play Thread in Forums.))

Usually that is what I see in Great Role Plays. The person knows what they are doing in their Role Play. They look almost pro at Role Play. :]

Now we move on to Profile Skeleton. Okay it is like the most easiest then on earth to make.
The type of Role Play I see has this

Name:
Age:
About:
Race:
(& etc.)

I don't like it! It was quickly done. It shows you were rushing! Don't rush give time to it!

Take some time and do decorations.

Example:
ΡяΦƒįĽέ §ќέĽέηΤøп

[align=center]((picture here!))
[size=15][color=mediumspringgreen]((Put Name here!))[/color][/size]
[size=9][color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-» My Strings Belong to:[/b][/color]
-gaian username here-
[color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-» Age:[/b][/color]
[color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-» I am a:[/b][/color]
-gender here-
[color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-»Sexuality:[/b][/color] Straight
[color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-» People see me as:[/b][/color]
-personality, at least a paragraph-
[color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-» My Lifes Story:[/b][/color]
-bio, atleat a paragraph-
[color=mediumspringgreen][b]•-» My Secrets:[/b][/color]
-anything else I need to know about your character here-[/size][/align]


If you do not know how to do the grey box. Message me or post in this thread.

Moving on... where I haven't seen around this guild.

You can do a Link
Make a pretty banner relating to your Role Play.

Examples:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
User Image

:] Now aren't those well decorated. "Hit me up on the Role Play Thread." That might attract people like me.

Now we're missing something important still.

Make a new thread in Barton OOC Be sure you write in title your name of your Role Play and saying Do Not Post.

:]
