I've been seeing some REALLY sloppy RPs lately, and I want to help clear it up.
How to make an RP
Give it a good title
Lay out the background info, such as zombie apocalypse, or modern-magic stuff. Also, many people find it helpful if they know how the RP starts.
Lay out the rules, such as yes/no Romance, yes/no trolling, yes/no overpowering, ect.
You may want to leave a code or phrase in the rules for the person to put into their CS, to check if they read it.
Make a comprehensible Character Sheet (This is a template, but may not include all the things you want.)
Character Sheet Name: Appearance: Physical Traits: (You may split this up into Height, Weight, @ge, G3nder, ect.) Skills: Items: Bio: Other:
Also, you may include: Race: Armor: Weapons: Personality: Superpowers: Faction/Allegiance: Code:
General Rules: Capitalize Double check your spelling Make sure you have correct grammar Clearly define your rules |

Nice ideas.
But... how do new RPers make a good plot? |

I suggest you gather a few beginners and begin a school for RPing.
I'd be willing to teach them a lesson or two. :L |

You observe good plots, and keep what's good and common in all of them. (e.g. If there are four posts, one's about modern mutants, one's about modern military, one's about medieval vampires, and one's about zombie military, and all are good, then make a modern military vampire post.) |

| All good ideas. I'm probably not going to host or teach the school, but any of you can. Also, you could make a forum post about it, expanding on what I said. |

| I'd be a teacher but I could not run it. Although I am experienced, I have a feeling I am not the best for teaching. |

| Yeah. But maybe the person who came up with the idea should have a chance. |

| I'm open to ideas, however putting it on a thread seems the best way to do so. |

Sure... Now who wants the host the forum?
Note: You and the teachers have to be active. Also, you should say who is an admin, and update it every once in a while. (Create a new post, with corrections.) |

| I have been dedicated for months. I have a good reputation and I am willing to teach. I have one more day of school and then nine days off to teach. |

O.K.
Note: You don't have to ask permission from me. This is just a place where you can gather, and discuss with each other. Also, you should use something similar to what I put on the top of the page, as a teaching guide. Also, post the given rules. |

| If we have enough RPers, we can teach 24/7 in case people are awake at different times. |

OH! I would love to help teach if you wouldn't mind!
That is, if you make a school. |
