Keys to being a good role player

Postby Jay Feely » Tue Nov 09, 2010 5:52 pm

What do you think are qualities necessary for someone to be a good role player?

I believe you need to be in the following areas:

1. Creativity: Your level of creativity is your ability to innovate your character traits to either hinder someone progress or to help others

2. Being yourself: Keeping your own style intact without trying to copy someone else

Is there any more that could be added to this list?

You just had to ask. A few years ago I was in charge of a Battledome Arena online for roleplaying characters only. The owners of the site it was held on gave me permission to do so because even then I was the number one rper and to this day am still the top poster there. My rank is Chuunin. These are the rules I came up with and they agreed overwhelmingly to abide by them.

1: Obey the rules!
2: Do not Godmod!
3: Do not over power one person.... i.e. 1 on 3 is NOT ok.
4: Do not piss off the Mod's
5: Do not beg to be a certain level or position
6: Do not bring in family matters or races or any discrimination of any kind.
7) Don't teleport help in the form of nature from websites, videogames, or computer games or card games unrelated to your battling rpg character.
8) No swearing please.

I am not saying your ideas are bad Jay, they just need some more improvement.
From whence I came and whence I went heaven said I was too evil and sent me to hell. Demons and devils succeeded in breaking my soul.

You haven't read a lot of postings here, have you? :-) A lot of people here are as far away from real life as it could be.

There are 10 kind of people in the world.
Those who understand binary numeral system, and those who don't.
