Can we write Help Guides too?

[flo]

If so, can I write one on how to roleplay?

[Darkness]

Yes, but these are unofficial. You can also write questions you have on DS on this board as well.

Okay, then here's my unoffical guide on

Roleplaying!

Okay, so you submitted your bio, and it got accepted! Right now your'e proabley doing your victory dance when a thought comes to you- what next? Now, my suggestion would be to read this guide, but if your'e reading my suggestion, you're already following my advice... so carry on.

Now, the first question you should ask yourself is "Do I want to reply to an exsisting thread or start my own?" On the one hand, if you reply to a thread that's already swawped with replies, it's just a big hassle to the person who started the thread, and you won't be able to have any fun roleplaying. But on the other hand, if you start your own thread, and nobody replies, you won't have fun roleplaying either. In my opinion, it's better to start your own thread, but if you find a nice already exsisting thread with only a couple of replies, or you truely can't think of a good way to start a thread, feel free to reply to a thread that's already there.

But whatever way you choose to start out with, you'll need my.....

Five Tips For Roleplaying Sucess!
Hopefully, these tips will help you!

1. Check your spelling! If people can't read what you're writing, it's highly unlikely they're reply to your post, much less read it. After all, if this guide ws seepledd cumpetly wong, you wouldn't want to read it, now would you?

2. Add some adverbs! Did you wolf howl out at the moonmournfully or merrily? Does your wolf talk quietly or sarcasticly? Do you get the picture or shoud I talk some more?

3.Check befor yo ost! I mean, if as soon as you post, you're sending correction after correction, it's going to be really hard to keep a roleplay going. And by the way, I meant to add an e after the r in before, and a u after the o in you, and.....you get the picture?

4. Sound interesting. After all, "Spunk hurried through the illumated shrubs growing near the Observatory. The men would catch her any minute now...." sounds a whole lot better than"Spunk walked in the grass near the building. Some men lived there and might notice her." Use some adjectives, don't be afraid to italize, and feel free to dramatize or leave your post on end-it creates a good place for another person to reply.

5. Have fun! After all, if you don't have fun roleplaying, there's no much point in doing it, now is there? People will forgive a couple mistakes while you're getting the hang of roleplaying, and even when you do get the hang of it, everyone makes mistakes now and then. After all, it's not like you're going to be graded on your roleplaying-it's just for fun! And I sure hope you had fun reading my guide!

wow! not bad...if you've noticed our newest member, Scooby-Doo has just joined, she doesn't know of rping...I should reccomend this guide to her!

[scoobydoo]

what does rping mean and I still can't get the information on my wolf pic done and I can't get a poem or story HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DS or FLO

[Darkness]

Scooby, Rping is like...well, it stands for Role-playing, and this site is an rpg: Role Playing Game. This is kinda like playing a game about wolves, only you type out what your wolf is. So copy this and send it to me, or put it in a thread in the 'New Bios' board.
Name: (put your wolf's name)
Age: (Put their age here)
Personality: (What is he/she like? Example: friendly, nasty, mean, beautiful, ugly...)
History: (What happened to them in the past?)
Other: (Here is where you put other stuff about them)
Appearance: (What do they look like?)

[flo]

Yeah, Darkness did a good job of explaining it. It's sort of like being in a play-after your bio is approved, your wolf can explore, fight, or join a pack. To start roleplaying, you choose a place and make a post, like "Stormy waited in the darkened moonlight for.... the one." Then someone else could reply with "Lighty hurried through the bushes. A new female was in her land, and she needed to find out who." Then the first person would post again, and then the second, and so on. The posts would be longer then that of course, but that's the basic idea.

[Killing Fate]

Right. Role Playing is where you choose the role of a character you make, and you play as them! Wow, I think I just provided the least help possible...
