This is for those who are new. Random things that will help you get better at RPing(Role Playing).

Section 1. Concerning apps(applications).

1. Read all the app guides there are to offer.

2. Read lots of accepted apps.

3. Make sure you capitilize, punctuize, use correct grammar, and spell correctly as much as you can (this applies not just to apps, but to RPing and posting.)

4. Do NOT try to mimic other people's apps. Mimic them in the wellness, but other than that, be creative.

5. Do NOT under any circumstances, make your person overpowered. If you make it so a 10-year-old can weild a sword, or something like that, your app shall not be accepted.

6. Always make your display name the same as the one you put in your app. Otherwise, what's the point of having that display name?



Section 2. Concerning RPing.

1. You cannoy roleplay until your app has been accepted.

2. Write all your RP posts in third person.

3. Be sure to read a couple of the posts before the one you do, to see what's happening (If it's raining, your post cannot make it sunny).

4. Be true to your character's personality. If your app says that your character is a happy person, do not make it so that they are constantly grumpy in thier posts.



Section 3. Everything else.

1. Do not spam. Spamming is where you post like you probably do on IM,
QUOTE
OMG, WTF, BRB, GTG, G2G, BBL, LOL
The admins do not like that, and niether do we common members. It makes everything diffucult to read.

2. CAPITALIZE! CAPITALIZE1 CAPITALIZE! I cannot stress this enough. Most of the new members now-a-days have thier names like this:
QUOTE

Exibit A:
dragono of trirule
Exibit B:
xternal wind dragon
Exibit C:
gord
Exibit D:
sonic
Exibit E:
metal hammer
Exibit F:
link43215
It makes it look like they don't really care about thier characters.

3. Do not ever name any of your characters afrer Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, etc.

4. Do not put numbers in your character's name.

5. Be creative! Do not take names from video games. Invent your own. Take words from diffrent languages. Ask for help.

6. Be patient. The admins have lives too, you know. They cannot be on every second of the day.

7. Do not double post. Double posting is considered spam's ugly cousin. Nobody likes a double-poster.

Admins - I implore you to post anything I've forgotten.

That's an incredible guide, but it may need some dumbing down for some people...
Atake
Well it might be a bit easier to read if you put some space between the sections and bolded the titles, other than that, awesome guide.
Morgath
And now they all come up and ask: ''Is this a game?''
Mira and Kria
Hang on... I'll edit it.

Edit: There. Done with editing.

Dose. Does. Same shit, different smell. Probably. But maybe I'm assuming things wrong again, I tend to do such.

These all look the same(except two were done by people with common sense and the other one done by someone who actually ment what he said) don't they? These all are what we are trying to get newbies not to do. People! Can't you read a guide before you post in the very same topic?

That felt good...
Kira
Kamilla, here's a little bit of advice for you:

Let the admins do their job. That includes chewing out new people.
Kallima
I shall. It was just asking to be typed.
Conroy
Though I wonder, why does he ask for help when he can figure it out? confused.gif
Morgath
And now what we need is insight in the human mind, or in this case, the idiot mind.....
Parsival
Guys, we're offtopic now. Get back to giving tips to new people.
Kallima

Yeah, I was wondering that myself. It's like saying 'Can you help me with this, even though I know how to do it?'.
Kira
Another tip:

Don't ignore admins when they say "Get back on topic people!" tounge.gif
Morgath
Tip:

Love me or die!!!!

er...
Don't unnecesarily open up new topics wich aren't about anything at all?
Collin
Just don't post when you have nothing to say. Nowadays it could get admins anoyed enough to get you a tempban! biggrin.gif

How's that sound to all of you, ey? Christmas' on me! tounge.gif
