If you know of another more successful version of this would you direct me towards it please? Thanks.
Oh, also if you think this is in the wrong category and know where it should go, tell me?
I intend for this to basically be a place where you can just bounce around your plot ideas or your character with other people in the roleplay style as sort of a test drive.
Alternatively this is a good spot for any one who just wants to roleplay extremely casually or for any one who just wants to practice roleplaying (like maybe a 'newbie').
In an actual roleplay I'm ruthless about continuity and coming up with good material - but here I will force myself not to care! I don't want any disclaimers like, 'sorry this post sucks' because you don't need to be sorry. Here you have every right to suck.
There is no ultimate plot, no profiles, no pressure. Everyone has the right to opt out of any roleplay instance at any moment, but please tell whoever you're with that you want out before you ditch 'em.
1. State what you want! Do it as a shout post or in bold red too so that people notice it. To expand your character, Bob Joe; to test your latest roleplay or story idea - a bunch of kids at an orphanage discover demonic faeries in the backyard of their compound; even to test run your new anti-godmodding battle rules to see if there are any loop holes.
Example:
2. Wait for a bite - or go around biting people. Have a brief or long discussion about what you want out of it - see if they have any suggestions, fine tune the idea as much as you like before jumping in - or don't tune it at all. Set down any rules or conditions you may have.
Example:
^ Feel free to do it however you can think of, this is totally free-style.
^ is also acceptable, unless stated otherwise by the requestee.
3. Roleplay it. Give your test a title and put it over your all subsequent RPing posts - all participants must do that as well. So that if there are multiple tests running at once there isn't confusion. You actually don't have to if just discussion is good enough for you, but then why come here instead of any other think tank??
Example:
4. Feel free to take a break at any point to discuss any changes you want to make - 'Can we do that over? I just decided I want Bob Joe to be a hair dresser instead of a lumberjack.' 'There should be a pool in this house.'
5. Finish it. That's enough. I got what I wanted, I'm bored, I'm scrapping this idea, I'm gonna go make this into a thread now - whatever.
You may not hound some one for leaving your roleplay test drive. They have a right to leave you. Any guilt tripping or complaining will be considered harassment.
Of course, any idea stealing without obtaining the permission of whoever you got it from is wrong.
Don't be a critic unless you're asked for your opinion. Bubble poppers will be prosecuted for souring the brainstorming creativity juice.
Try not to be a stickler about little details. Save that for a finished product.
Keep it PG-13.
I won't force you to, but I encourage correct grammar and spelling. They aren't just for stuck-ups, they serve a purpose. If you don't believe me read "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves." If you don't understand that book I suggest you approach your English teacher, search the internet or take night classes.

Welcome to The Super Informal Roleplay Think Tank, the place that isn't really a roleplay and mostly a think tank.
Purpose:
I intend for this to basically be a place where you can just bounce around your plot ideas or your character with other people in the roleplay style as sort of a test drive.
Alternatively this is a good spot for any one who just wants to roleplay extremely casually or for any one who just wants to practice roleplaying (like maybe a 'newbie').
In an actual roleplay I'm ruthless about continuity and coming up with good material - but here I will force myself not to care! I don't want any disclaimers like, 'sorry this post sucks' because you don't need to be sorry. Here you have every right to suck.
There is no ultimate plot, no profiles, no pressure. Everyone has the right to opt out of any roleplay instance at any moment, but please tell whoever you're with that you want out before you ditch 'em.
How it works:
1. State what you want! Do it as a shout post or in bold red too so that people notice it. To expand your character, Bob Joe; to test your latest roleplay or story idea - a bunch of kids at an orphanage discover demonic faeries in the backyard of their compound; even to test run your new anti-godmodding battle rules to see if there are any loop holes.
Example:
Quote:
Yo! I just made this new character called Bob Joe and uh... basically all he has so far is a name and appearance. I want to have him interact with some one just so I can get a feel for his personality.
2. Wait for a bite - or go around biting people. Have a brief or long discussion about what you want out of it - see if they have any suggestions, fine tune the idea as much as you like before jumping in - or don't tune it at all. Set down any rules or conditions you may have.
Example:

Hey, I'd be glad to help you work on Bob Joe. I have a kind of new character who I want to have talk with some one too. Do you want to do it like... with an actual setting and stuff like a time period and a specific kind of city or should they just be sitting at some random bar and we'll work it out as we go along?
^ Feel free to do it however you can think of, this is totally free-style.

*walks up and pokes Bob Joe in the stomach*
^ is also acceptable, unless stated otherwise by the requestee.
3. Roleplay it. Give your test a title and put it over your all subsequent RPing posts - all participants must do that as well.

Blah blah blah roleplaying blah blah blah.

4. Feel free to take a break at any point to discuss any changes you want to make - 'Can we do that over? I just decided I want Bob Joe to be a hair dresser instead of a lumberjack.' 'There should be a pool in this house.'
