1. Have fun!
2. Respect your partner just like you respect yourself.
I suppose you do respect yourself... Right? Well, I know you should.
Why should you respect your partner? Because he/she takes the time to write you a reply and (hopefully) puts some effort into it.
3. Be literate. (Or try to)
See what it means in: Lesson 2: Literacy & Illiteracy, though you should have already read it.
4. Do not God-Mod
See what it means in: Lesson 1: What is RolePlay? + Terms, though you should have already read it too.
5. Do not control other people's character. Don't even try to.
Also known as Power-Play (PP), as stated in Lesson 1: What is RolePlay? + Terms.
I.e: You come to me and say "Hi".
6. Be creative.
As much as some cliches are still in fashion and fun to RP, others get boring and repetitive after a while. If you want a nice (maybe long term too?) RP, you should be creative. You don't want to bore your partner and/or even yourself, now do you?
7. Quality over quantity.
As much as a lengthy reply is far more entertaining than a short one, quality is preferred over quantity. Better shorter, but more put together replies than longer, but senseless ones.
8. Do not spam your partner.
Don't send your partner 10 messages in an hour, asking him/her why he/she didn't answer yet. Honestly, it's annoying. Keep in mind these few things that may be the cause(s):
Real Life takes priority over RP. They may have some things to solve in RL and obviously would take care of that before replying to you.
Work. Yes, people work, some RPers have a job or others have school. So, yeah, they aren't gonna skip work/classes just to reply you.
Sleep. We all need it, don't we? Remember that your time zone may not be the same with your partner's. I.e: it can't be 5 p.m. in USA & Russia at the same time.
Lack of inspiration. There are times when your partner would just dispoziție and your message, trying to find something to reply back... But inspiration isn't always at hand. Sometimes you just don't know what to reply or how to put it into words.
Not in the mood. As harsh as it may sound to you, your partner might simply not be in the mood. I.e: you come tired from work - RPing isn't what you want to do. Most likely, sleeping is.
9. Discuss the likes/dislikes (regarding RP) of yours and your partner's.
It prevents you from ending up in an awkward situation. Settle with your partner what's okay and what's not before trying it. Moreover if it's about touchy subjects like ethnic, politics, sexual orientation, confession etc. or even about killing off a (more or less main) character.
10. Don't forget the first command. Have fun! |
