Hey, sup guys. I think ive had my fill of in-game RP. Darkened dawn is infected with anime roleplayers and bad roleplayers who refuse to learn. And other games are just, well, bad. So, I hope that I have some more fun here.

Gaming, we're still trying to identify the Prophecied Ones. Don't be so fast to say all new people are the Prophecied Ones.

Long story. It started as a bit of a joke earlier today, but became an actual topic. The prophecy:

They shall come, upon a time of Great Need
One shall be lost in the East,
One lost in the Land of the Dead,
One lost in the Clans of the Plains
One lost in the River's Bend,
Two shall remain, one Traitor,
One Fated Hero.
The Traitor shall be revealed at the Bend,
The Hero in the very end.

I got it from the Oracle earlier. You see, alot of us left a couple weeks (? Two months, maybe?) ago to another site. I got the Prophecy earlier, because someone asked if these 'newbags' we've been getting lately are destined to repopulate the ROBLOX Roleplay Forums.

@Cousin
The Prophecy is essential to our survival now.
Now, we wait for the Prophecied Ones.

Congratulations on escaping the painfulness of terrible in-game RPing. I'm marc12267 and I'll guide you through this tutorial to RPF.

#1: The Terms
It's easy to learn these terms. Such as...

Roleplay: You know what. Short for RP.
RPF:
OC: Alternative term for just simply "character".
Interest check: RP ideas are posted under this so people can see if they're interested or not. If they are, make the RP or start a collab. Otherwise, scrap it.
Mary Sue/Gary Sue/Perfect Character: Perfect, flawless and dumb. Do not want, people say.
Godmodding: Giving your characters TOO MUCH POWER. Avoid doing this.
Metagaming: When your character has OoC information. Unfair.
Powerplaying: Controlling others' characters without permission.
Collab: People simultaneously work on an RP before it gets posted.
Bannanachair: A proboards forum made by Timpookie.
Siggy: Random stuff or phrase at the bottom that don't matter to the post. Mainly posted through copy-paste, ROBLOX+ or manual typing from memory or references.

I'll continue tomorrow.

I'll continue for Marc.

RPF: Roleplay Forums (Where we are now)
Newbags: New people
OoC: Out of Character
VGC: Video Game Central
S&I: Suggestions & Ideas
C&G: Clans & Groups
@ Meaning, in direct response to someone, often with an abbreviated form of their username
ODers: Online Daters


That's all I can think of for now.

Uh, most of the Prophecied Ones end up getting 'lost' somehow. I think they die? But, I dunno. Prophecies are vague, though, so the 'one' might end up being like ten thousand.

I am an oracle but I never foretold a prophecy,
find this other oracle and bring him to me so I shall penetrate him with my nutritious carrot.

#2: Creating an RP
So, you want to make a good RP, eh? I'll show you how. First, think of the genres and subgenres. Whether your RP would be a dramatic horror thriller or a slapstick cyberpunk comedy, you can start working on ideas or creative ones, which are recommended. Then, after your rough draft of your RP ideas are done, post them under an interest check.
If people are interested in your RP, make the RP. Or you can start a collab for said RP so after it's done, you can post it. If people aren't interested or hate it, scrap the idea. If there's a hard mix of people who want your RP made and others who don't, you need to make the hard choice of making it or scrapping it. Either way, your choice.

#3: RPing Styles
I'll show you the general styles of RPing. I'll use Zoey (the android girl from Sunnydale) as the example character.

This is chatroom RPing.
ZOEY
*attacks*

This is one-lining.
ZOEY
I attack the guy.

And this is RPing beyond one-lining.
ZOEY
At the sight of the mugger's revolver, I made sure to punch him hard two times. Once I was done, I then grabbed the mugger's arm with my right hand while swiping away his revolver with my left.

#4: What NOT to Do WNTD
So what do Mary Sues, godmodding, metagaming and powerplaying look in general? I'll show you.

ZOEY
I cherry tap the giant battle station and it explodes into a million pieces.
See? That's godmodding. People can't just make giant, destructive things explode with tapping. That's just silly.

ZOEY
"Hey Lana the Vampire!" I yell as I grab her and threw her into the sun as she burned into ashes.
That's an example of both metagaming and powerplaying. Personally, Zoey has NEVER met Lana, but through metagaming, she knows Lana's name and form, which is as a vampire. Also, the controller of Zoey controlled Lana without permission.

So that's all, I guess.
