FuriousStyles BG Batgirl We should have a practice thread to asses who can do Literate roleplays and who can't.
Then force them to practice.
I really don't want to see any use of the asterisks. To me, that doesn't make a literate roleplay. But I digress...
Its so hard to explain without sounding like a b***h and saying that if you've read a book like I dunno Harry Potter it would be like that.
Except your playing your own character and such. Um, an example would be so:
As dusk rolled into night, a lone figured sat amongst the city. Draped in the colors of darkness as well, he was camouflaged by the night. As he sat listening waiting, another figured joined him. This one was clad in red and green and the man dressed as darkness stood and then replied to that other figure, "We got a call. Lets move out", and into the night they went.
It should be like that. Your discribing your surroundings, what you look like, and interacting with someone who your not playing. I like literate RP's like this as opposed to using Asterisk to show action.
Here is the same paragraph but used with asteriks.
*Sitting, waiting, Robin joins* Lets move out
@iBlitz: Ugh Barton Towns is a bad example. There are hardly any literate roleplays that are good. If you join one that isn't literate and you play literate they get all bitchy. It might be good to just make a thread in here to help out. I know Blitz you know how to RP properly because of that RP you started in Justice League guild. So you understand what I mean. |

Yeah, I actually haven't been in one RP there were something wasn't wrong. Well Batgirl used a good example, so you could go by that. |

Um, if I may interrupt to place my point of view, I think that everyone has their own style to role-playing and it shouldn't be discriminated. Not that I'm saying that it is, but still, one has their own way of posting. For example, BG Batgirl doesn't like the asterisk when used to put the action/scene of what's happening, she is more likely to put the post book style, if you know what I mean. In the other hand, other characters such as Dark Knight Detective, Real Poison Ivy and myself, like to place the asterisk just so the person that reads knows that it is an action or more likely to know what's going on. I think that we should role-play just as we know how to do it and get along with it. Nightwing out.....

Well actually although asterisks are easier and get to the point quicker, they're boring. They give no details, and can some time be hard to counter.
Say this for example:
*throws punch*
Ok, I know what you meen, but you don't state were your attack is aimed, or who your throwing it at. Also they can be confusing. But I people do have there own way of RPing, so if both people RP using asterisk it shouldn't be a problem. |

Its not the style.
Its the difference between literate and semi-literate.
I made that point in my post. If I'm in a literate Role Play I should not see the use of asterisk's but if I was in a semi-literate Role Play I expect to see the use of asterisk's because we all know, no one is going to take the literate part to meaning.
This is how I was taught. Plus I find the use of Asterisks so BORING. And both me and iblitz share the same opinion on this matter.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the majority of threads made for RP in this guild will be semi-literate, but you know. It's not going to hurt if you know how to participate properly in a literate thread though. |
