Description For people joining the RP or Sith Lords storylines who've never roleplayed online or with MSN before, this is a fairly simple walk through for how BCBW (=BowChickaBowWow ) and I run our chats.

If you already know how to do this, then don't worry about reading it.

humm... I was invited to roleplay, but I am new and donΒ΄t know nothing about it, Just learning. Now I just have a question:
Can I use two characters? (a hero and villain, for example)

I've roleplayed with multiple characters. It's a little more complicated, but it works.

And the tutorial was fun to read. ^^

Hey, I normally don't comment on Tutorials, but I just had to thank you for making this. I know a (fourm) RP group that could definitely learn a thing or two from this. Thank you for this masterpiece.

Uh.. yeah. I know I've commented on quite a few things of yours already, but I have to ask this.

Can I link to this?

I'm an admin at two RP forums, and... well, forums may be different from chat, but it's all RP, and I've been.. rather unhappy about the lack of literacy. One-liners are okay a little bit, but in a lit/adv. forum, it's not as good. Expecially when there's at LEAST 5 grammer mistakes in the ONE SENTENCE. ;_; And then I stand out when I write my SHORT two-paragraph posts, when I adverage about three, and have managed to get over six before. Maybe even seven, but that's.. alot more than I have muse for...

I'm fine with one paragraph, and even a couple of grammatically correct sentences, but there's a limit to the amount of mistakes. -_-

So, can I link to this in the forums? (It'll be a direct link to this page, so you'll be getting all credits and whatnot...)

Oh, you can go right ahead, it was created just for that purpose, so we don't have to explain how it works over and over... I'd be honored if you use it.

moonlitwings0 In reply to Ishdakitty [2008-04-24 12:22:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks tons. really. We needed something like this. I gave up explaining after I just confused people with my explanations. I'm.. not the best at explaining stuff.

And.. it has been needed....

I'll make sure to use it only as a link to this page. Maybe you'll get more favorites for it. And you're an awsome artist, so they can come see your work, too! XD

Hehe, thank you muchly. I'm not great at explaining either, unless I can put it all down in one block and go... "HERE. *shove* Read this!"

moonlitwings0 In reply to Ishdakitty [2008-04-24 21:33:18 +0000 UTC]

Very very very true. I do have this exceptional skill to be able to confuse people. What's even stranger, is that I've been able to downright confuse myself trying to explain stuff to myself. I did it, I knew kinda how I did it, I attempted to explain it to myself and.. I confused my own brain. How that is even possible, I know not. But I ended up not knowing how I did it at all. When I started out kinda knowing. Though I can very easily confuse people.. explaining things in an understandable way is not something that I do easily.

XD My brain just works in it's own individual way.

Really. Welcome to the world of confusion. I've lived in it all my life. Wait? There's a world of confusion? When did that happen? And.. I've been here... O.o I am confused! Somebody please tell me what is going on here!

GodModding is a bear, and so easy to do by accident sometimes. I had a player once (I was GMing) who would prank people and write the other characters reactions in the same post. I got a comment from one of the victims saying their character would really like to react to the prankster with some kind of violence and I needed to tell them to stop godmodding. ^_^ It was actually the first time I had to pull out the GMStick

Ishdakitty In reply to jameson9101322 [2008-03-22 22:35:06 +0000 UTC]

I used to have to do that in the AOL chat rooms. Sometimes people just don't get the whole "You are only playing YOU" thing. This tutorial actually doesn't quite cover it, 'cause in our storylines Liz and I both play multiple characters and auto the NPCs, but that's a more advanced tutorial for another day.

Very good! ^^ Nice and simple, it should help a lot of people out who're confused about [internet] roleplaying. Great work.

And get out of emo mode, surely there're peeps around.

I figure rather then explaining it every time, just pointing people to the tutorial is easier.
