The things that started it all! Quote: *walks into the town with a small back pack on* what a small town... i must find a inn *looks at her map but its to recked to see were the inn is on the map* oh man! Tesunie (Dark Neena) walks into the town with a small back pack on. "What a small town... I must find a inn." She looks at her map but its too recked to see were the inn is on it. "Oh man!" She exclaimed. (Edited by Tesunie: You should only use the * to show actions out side of a role play. When you role play, look at it like this. You are trying to write a piece of a book, where you control your character and all that he/she does in the story. The same goes for everyone else. Then the maker of the story is the one giving the place, background and other events. Here is the link for what I have written on how to use the *.)

Tesunie (I know that some role plays seem to use that system, but i find it very confusing to read, and it isn't as clear as just righting it out. If you are lost as to what I mean, the you can pm me, or post your question in an upcoming thread. I am going to make a questions thread, so people can ask questions instead of PMing me all the time, although I do like the pms, my mail box doesn't! gonk )

Dark Neena (sorry but i'm not going to stop doing the * since it stands for doing a action oh and i only do third person in battles if ya dont like it banned me) Tesunie (That is one thing I don't care about, First person, third person whatever. I don't think it should mater.) (To each their own opinions. You can keep posting that way, I just think it looks better, and is easier to understand when the * things are not in the way. As stated, to each their own opinion.) (You can't get banned for that. Each person role plays in their own style.) Yo-It--=Shad=- (Ah, well you need to start learning how to use that way. Or else you won't be able to join a lot of good rps. And trust me, most good ones don't use * for actions. Only in OCCs do they use it.) Dark Neena (thats were you are a hundred % wrong human) Tesunie (I know, and I am in, several guilds that don't like, or want people posting that way in RPs. Not all of them care, but some wont let you join if you post that way. I personally don't care, but I just think it is easier to read when typed out.) (You can start role playing again at any time. biggrin ) Dark Neena (oh forget it i dont care every one rp's differntly and every one thinks there way is better and thinks every one else is rping wrong but a true fact of life is there is no real way to rp every one is right but no one has the right to tell some one how to rp and say the way they rp is wrong, its just life.) Now stop talking to me like this and start rping cause i wont stay long in a guild that talks to me using ), actions speack louder then words) Tesunie (I would rp, but all three of my characters are at their house, getting ready to have company over. biggrin ) (You are absolutely correct on everyone rping differently, for we all do.) Yo-It--=Shad=- (So, can you tell us why you don't like to not use the ** for actions? (I use -- for actions. XD) Personally, I get very bored of rps that use ** for actions since it suddenly got so limited to me atleast. Plus I need to work on my writing abilities.) Yo-It--=Shad=- Dark Neena (thats were you are a hundred % wrong human) (Human? Why'd you call me human when you are one yourself? Plus it is true. Just go to the forums and see that most was atleast semiliteratcy. And yes, it is true that we have no right of telling what's right and what's wrong. But what we can say is what we prefer. Plus, no one thinks you're rping wrong. We're just trying to let you use this method of rping. Plus there are rps that are good and need semi-literatcy. Here's an example. This is one when I wasn't as good, my skills are still devolping. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15477535

You're stuck with the ** as a habit. But try to use this style. I think it's part of the rule. Unless it's more flexible then most.)

This is an Ooc chat, so you don't really need to (quote) your talk any more.

Those little signs work for non-plot based role-plays in my opinion. Or in OOC chat.

I've always used the '*' to show me role-playing stupid stuff in forums, not meant for RP. I got made fun for it before, because everyone else used '-' at the time. OOC has not changed, however.

I had to vote for my little face up there, I am staying neutral on this one, for I can see it either way, but I think it makes more sense (or rather easier to read) when you make rp posts without the *stars*.

Thank you Kris. I just had to put that up for another reason. My writing skills were... (Here's the pessimistic view!) HORRIBLE! (Optimistic!) not as well as now.
Anyways, I find it lacks a lot of detail. Not too much to think about if you just read the ** style. Sure you can add detail, but not as easily as the writing out form. (Or whatever we shall call it.)

Anyways, when did Jin jump in? And how come the guy stopped posting. The other seeker?
