first days rping guide

Hey all!

Been a while since I bothered posting here, since there was absolutely nothing I could do to revive the game from the state in which it was left. That has since changed, and I now have access to the means to better the game, and bring it to the state in which it was originally meant to be played.

I do hope regulars and newbies alike welcome the changes I plan to bring, and continue to …

Hello, faithful Ikou Era players. I am sorry for being so inactive to the production of Ikou Era, me slowing down with updates had affected all of us. I doubt, I can make it up for your patience and your unbreakable loyalty to someone that had been made by my brain. Ikou Era is my first original project and it is one of the most proudest work I had done, this project was the result of my …

-THE FOLLOWING GUIDE HAS NO INTENTION TO IMITATE ANYOTHER, SINCE THE PURPOSE OF A GUIDE IS TO HELP PLAYERS ADVANCE-

If you never had played an Rp game before, this is the guide.

First day: Perhaps youre asking yourself whats an Rp game, or directly whats an Rp. Rp its the shortest way to say Roleplay, whats roleplay? Basically enter into the role of a created avatar and playing this role, involving the other players on game without creating a constant verbin on non reasoned actions.

-First thing dont go arround and pretend you know rp, stay calm take a deep breath and follow this steps:

-Try to take comunication to minimun levels, simple phrases and words.(Not telling you to be a baby literally -.-)

-Dont mix ic with ooc, or ooc with ic (ic=in character, all related with say talk) (ooc= out of character, usually you think of it as a chat). This means for example: Youre playing you lack an item or search for it, you actually say on ooc somethign like "Has any a sword, if you do can you lend me one?. Thats completly wrong, the correct thing to do is. First off emote approaching to the person (Not nesesary if you knew him icly) then ask for him if he knows any smither, in case he is one, ask for him if he can make you a weapon. Search a valid reason why youre character would actually need one (Dont bother with a background personality yet if its youre first time.)

-Long point? avoid sparrs and fightings the first time..(Advisable, you can avoid this if you already think youre ready.)

2-3 day: Now you have gained some skills at rping, the first thing to do is read the rules carefully, dont make yourself fullish and try to avoid them, since they arent actually finished yet. If you know something is wrong, dont do it.

-Youre not ready to take a standar rp but you can begin rping 1 line emotes, such as taking a stance, attacking, beginning a battle, beggining training and sheating youre weapon.

-Also practice with the diferent situation in which it doesnt includes verbs, by emoting the many times possible.

- Key for rping: If you want someone to help you quick or need to discuss something private of ooc and doubts, speack throught say. Put youre phrase between this "()" little friends.

-Youre not yet ready to kill.

-If somebody wants to kill you, and has stated such a thing to you/emoted aswell, you can either run or stay. If youre going to run first off specifie its youre first time, with the previosu talked "()" ,then rp youre escape.

-Dont rage over noobs/newbs like you/trolls ,since its a total waste of time.

First week: From this moment on, it depends on you, if you want to kill somobody its not yet the time but you can try, if your character has intentions, if it has been stated to the victim and after you K.O. him make an rp about 2-3 lines (Convincing one) give him a time minimum of 15 seconds to emote back, defending himself/runing away. If they arent capable to write something on those 15 second, kill, otherwise, he has to give you 15 second to you and respond.

Last thing try not to be a douchebag, cuse people wont help that way, dont argue or fight in ooc, no spamms etc..you have the rules for that. Most important of all DONT GODPLAY meaning, dont emote or rp soemthing that hasnt a way to avoid, unless admin tell so..
This guide can be re-edited the many times required.In fact i invite people to post here, to help this become a reliabell source

good luck Very Happy

Clean up the grammar, add spaces between the paragraphs, apostrophes are nice, periods and proper exclamation is nice as well.

Do all that, then you have yourself a nice guide.

Subject: Re: first days rping guide Mon Aug 22, 2011 8:52 am

Edited whatever grammar error spoted on the guide is now only responsable by my lack of knowledge especially in words like reliable, which i dont know how is spelled.

Subject: Re: first days rping guide Mon Aug 22, 2011 12:44 pm

Still a few error mistakes, but nothing too serious. The guide looks nice. Also, don't worry, you spelled "reliable" correctly.
