Roleplaying Questions

Where is the  the Role-Play Directory?

I think we removed it.  It wasn't up to date, and at the rate new RPs were being created / finished / modified, we can't keep up with every little change.

ohh, I'm so glad I chose now to check in. *wants to join the next roleplay tournament* I've been practicing. ^_^

Welcome back!

I have a question. I might be gone for a few days, and I'm wondering if it's okay to ask other people to take over my characters during that time.

[W0NWILL]

Yes, it happens often. When someone leaves or is on a trip.

Hey, Are RP's generally done in the course of one or a few days, or do people post on them just as they would normally on any random forum thread?

  Do you mean done as in finished?  Because no, most of them take quite a few days, weeks, sometimes even months!  (Well, maybe not too many months, but some could!)  One that I started awhile back, The Quest for Romance, took a really long time to finish.

  If you mean done as in people playing all the time, then it varies.  Sometimes they have members playing in them who are on often, so the RP goes by quickly.  Other times, the RP goes quite slowly, because the members don't post a lot.  That's the case in some RPs that have a minimum of so many sentences in each post.  I quite enjoy those, though, because you go more in depth with your character (at least, that's what the idea is).

  So, pretty much, for both answers, I guess it varies on the RP and the members playing the RP.  Did that answer your question, or was I totally off?

[Rusvul]

Neither! Well, partly. Is there usually a scheduled time that we say like "Ok, we're gonna play x rp at x time, join us then!" And I did not mean done as in finished, more along the lines of played.

  Lol, well, I was a bit off!    Um, usually RPers just RP whenever they're able to do it.  There's really no set time on most.  Maybe on some, but mostly it's just 'Hey, whenever you want to post, do it then'.  The reason for that (in my opinion) is that some of us are in way different time zones, so it'd be rather hard for all of us to be on at one time.  So pretty much, we just do it whenever we can.

  Did that answer your question?    (Lol, try two!  )

[Rusvul]

Yes, lol, that did answer my question. Thx!

[rachel25]

um question how do you sigh up for RP games that aren't torments. ?? 

[Osu]

If you go into the OOC/Discussions childboard you'll find RP's that haven't started yet; find one you like, read the GM's rules, and then ask about joining it. You can also start your own RP in the OOC board. Just make a new thread and lay out the rules and requirements for your roleplay and then sit back and wait for other players to sign on.

Question: For example, if I say something that someone else doesn't like, then they sort of get on to me about it, (Just for example!!) and that person gets on to me about stuff in other RPs, what happens? It's really not nice I was in a good mood when I got on, and now it's gone after looking at some RPs I'm in.

[Dannflower Reguba]

Such a personal issue can't really be handed a formula like you would for Science or Calculus. Each situation is different from another and must be dealt with appropriately. The best thing you can do is try to see things from the others position (pretty sure I know what's going on here BTW, if you want to talk more in-depthly then just PM me, I'd be more than happy to help you on this). Also, try to understand that other people have bad days too, and try and think of times where you've had a bad day and might've said something that you later regretted. I know I sure have plenty of these things to look back on myself. Finally, don't let it get to you. There was a member here a long time ago (not going to name names) Him and I were at each others throats over EVERYTHING, we rarely ever agreed and I've had far too many bad memories. The long and short of this last one is, don't let want for a good RP become a selfish desire that you would seek over the friendship of a member, I goof off a lot, yet in some of my less-than-friendly moments... I've lost potential friends. Believe me, it's not worth it. 

Hope that helps.
