Yeah yeah you all probably know how to role play. Now I'm not the greatest role player in the world but hey I'm not bad... Am I...? XP Anyway... Here we go. Okay wait a sec here are some good guide lines to go by when RPing... Yeah that's how we'll do it. XD
1. Use capitols and punctuation! Here is a paragraph using these things.
Twilightrain padded into camp carrying a plump mouse. She set the mouse on the fresh kill pile before taking a piece for herself. The she-cat settled down by the warriors den and started eating the prey, a magpie. First she took the feathers off setting them to the side. She figured they would be nice to put in her bed.
See? I wrote that in about two minutes... Okay yeah maybe less. XP
2. Use your " signs for telling people your cats are talking.
Ivystar jumped onto highrock and turning to address his clan. "All old enough to catch there own prey gather below the highrock for a clan meeting!" He called his voice echoing around the clearing.
That was easy. ^^
3. Use OOC: or parenthesis (()) to tell people when you are not RPing.
((I think we should make them become mates. That would be cool.))
OOC: I hope that's okay...
4. Be descriptive! It makes you look smart and like a better role player. XD No really look.
Duskring crouched low to the swampy ground his belly fur brushing the ground. He watched the mouse in front of him sniff the ground and move forward flicking its ears unaware of the impending doom. The tom moved forward slowly but surely. His black fur had a layer of water from the early morning moisture in the air. The Shadowclan tom finally moved just a few inches forward before leaping and landing on the mouse. He quickly bit the gray mouse's neck killing it. Duskring examined his prey for a moment. It was a fairly medium sized mouse. Not plump or skinny. It would feed a warrior or apprentice well. He smirked satisfied with the catch. The black tom buried his prey under a tree so that he could gather it later once he was finished hunting in the swampy lands.
Well that wasn't bad. Really it didn't take me too long to do it. ^^
5. Use fairly good grammar and spelling. I'm going to give an example of bad grammar and spelling. Then you can look at what it was meant to be.

Prairiepaw walked over to the fresh kill pile and took a mouse to eat.
Tell me honestly which was easier to read? XD I think the second was...
Any more tips from those other rpers out there? ^^
