Yes, I actually love RP, I'm not making a bad joke on you guys. And because I love RP, and I miss it, I really dislike SB RP, and how RPs are made here.
Yup, I admit it. Explaining why I don't like RP around here would be hard without actually stating how RPs were when I used to RP.
- It was prohibited to act for another character. For instance, you couldn't write their reaction, you couldn't write that you did something unnoticed, you couldn't just write that you stabbed someone, they HAD to write if they got stabbed or not, it wasn't yours to decide.
- You couldn't have god mode powers, you could actually die, and there were some situations where you just had no other choice than dying. That was it, it could happen.
- You were weak. Oh gosh you were weak, could get hurt, could be crippled. Sure there were some RPs using magic where you could be healed, someone could even bring you back from the dead, but it wasn't easy, only a few could do that and it could almost kill their character when doing that.
- We weren't always fighting, in fact, most of the time we weren't at all. Sometimes we could be in a random location, like the border of a lake or a tavern, or I don't know, a hospital, depending on the RP's setting? And we could talk for like 5 pages. I've seen whole RPs without a single fight.
- We would never post only a single line, it would always be at least 3 lines, and not filler lines, we would THINK about what we were writing.
- We would read back our posts and make sure it made sense, was well written enough. I'm not talking about like a typo, that happens, but just reading quickly our post to make sure it was alright.
- We would keep Out of RP messages to a minimum and would put them between [ ] to make it clear, and would also use italic text to either write actions or thoughts, and normal text to write when we would talk. It made everything just more clear...
It might seems like a lot, but it was easy, really, and made everything more enjoyable and organized. I loved RP. I did.
