RPSTYLE

There's a lot to be said about style. Everyone has their own opinion. Some things however SHOULD be considered when posing. Make sure to separate what you say and what you do in some way. The common way is to encapsulate speech in '' or "". Another is to use colours. Let me show you a bad and a good example. Boba Fett laughs. He really is an ugly man. He is quiet for a moment and then speaks up. Not that I really care. Boba Fett laughs. "He really is an ugly man." He is quiet for a moment and then speaks up. "Not that I really care." See in how the first pose can be misinterpreted? Make life easier for your fellow players. Be clear. Another thing is of course using proper English. Use capital letters at the beginning of sentences and punctuation. try to keep actions in emotes instead of trying to squeeze them into speech, using smileys and signs. It's not fun to have to decrypt something like the below example and many will grow tired of it very, very quickly and find someone else to RP with. Boba Fett says, '*sits down* oh i dunno he came to me last night i don't know who the guy is he sure was annoying though :) kept talking about my mother and all I wanted to smack him but i am no fighter you know say, do you know who he was' Continued in RPSTYLE2 See also RP
