Role-Play Guide...

If you want to be a good role-player you must bring some efforts to do it, to write more than two pharagraphs, and not to be one-liner. What is a one-liner? Well it's a person which writes only a line in a post of Role-Play. That would bring a great disadvantage to the person which is next, to reply, the one-liners aren't ''fashionable''

Most of you know what to do in a Role Play, but for those which do not know and they are newbies, I'll explain as simple as I can, or my language permit it
To RP is to express your thoughts, sentiments, actions at a certain time, you play a fictional character or why not yourself, for some the RP is a way to share their imagination, their sense of humor, or to do some actions they wouldn't do in real life, or just being inside the person he/she wants to be.


You have to have some skill, but not necessary, you can develop it and I will show you how. (Don't forget to thank me if it helped in anyway )

• it is best for you to make a small plan inside your mind before posting, it helps a lot.
  
• after you made your plan inside your mind, try to split it on parts/main ideas as example: Alice walks away,Mrs Maud comes to visit us,Evelinne's wand was broken by Cedrella's wand
  
• after that you develop each idea in a paragraph or more
  

Developing Ideas

It's the most simplest thing, you may let your imagination run free. I am going to develop my ideas mentioned above in paragraphs to see how easy it is:

Alice walks away
It was a beautiful day of summer and we were all in the summer vacation. The Mason family has decided to stay at their far-away-from-town manor. Alice had to admit that it wasn't cheering her up, after the fight she had with her brother. She was sitting on the couch, very mad, because she was an underage witch, which gave her no possibility to use magic. Her brother which was overage was teasing her badly, she couldn't resist anymore, so she went outside to breath some fresh air.

Mrs Maud comes to visit us
Meanwhile the family didn't notice Alice's absence, they were ready to receive Mrs. Maud, their less favorite aunt, in visit for a couple of weeks. "Mother can I go out?" replied Thomas the smallest of the Mason's children. He wanted badly to play with the hippogriff which was sitting outside in the back yard. He knew that he wasn't allowed to go, but he managed to go outside.

IMPORTANT!: Do not GMOD, if you aske a question or say something towards another character, let him/her reply.

Evelinne's wand was broken by Cedrella's wand
Nobody was so excited by the guest the will receive in an hour. That hour was passing very slow, and they suspected that the time Mrs. Maud will spend here will pass slow too. Cedrella which was overage and could perform magic elected to do some simple spells and she, accidentally hit Evelinne's wand. Everything was ruined because she started to cry and everyone was worried.

Narration:

Make sure you don't role-play by using the first person: I am standing here, you may role-play only with third person : She walked in the park with her wand pointed toward a cat. You can use the first person only in the questions you put or saying/pointing something:: "Mother can I go out?" replied Thomas the smallest of the Mason's children. but only in this way.

Punctuation and Capitalisation:

Some of you make the difference between your and you're or there, their and they're. The point is to understand them properly.

You're it is a contraction, or a combination of the words you and are.

• "You're a good friend." ("YOU ARE a good friend.")
  
• "I don't know what you're talking about." ("I don't know what YOU ARE talking about.")

[/ul]

"I can't read you're handwriting."

• Incorrect because the contraction for "you are" is being used as the possessive form of you. It should be replaced with "your". Would "I can't read you are handwriting" make sense?

[/ul]

They're it is a contraction, or a combination of the words they and are.

• "You're a good friend." ("YOU ARE a good friend.")
  
• "You are the one who knows what they're talking about." ("You are the one who knows what THEY ARE talking about.")

[/ul]

"I used to read they're homework."

• Incorrect because the contraction for "they are" is being used as the possessive form of you. It should be replaced with "their". Would "I can't read you are handwriting" make sense?
