Let's just step right in.
First, this has annoyed me so much, "Random RP's" I mean, guys come on, I usually see like 4 differn't RPs all in one chat. They got more than one RP room for a reason, I hate seeing two people exploring a village and 3 others fighting demons. It causes spam. So stop. Please.

Second problem. Instant-killers: Don't be one to go in an rp room and rp then say "Den I bite Ur leg and rip your heart out Ur ded ha" It makes it less fun for you and the person that you murdered, if it's a fight, attack one step at a time.

Third problem: Bossing around. "U did sum thin in da RP I dun lik Ur auto ded" Well, what makes you think that you own it all, okay, they walked into your secret room or whatever, you don't need to say "NO INSTA DETH DIS IS PRIVAT ROOM" don't put something "private" on an RP. No how the whole factor of it works... Also don't say "Then a skeleton comes and kills _____'s Character.

Now, on to tips: Use proper grammar and list who you talk to, just don't say "Your"
Tell the other RPers you characters info, unless you are mysterious on purpose, that is.

Don't go berserk if someone does something. "Ohh dats stoopid, you gonna dai" Okay, let them make their decisions.

Give us a REAL rp theme. not "Random" the setting is what they mean, not what's going on.

Okay speaking of that never make RPs random, give them a real setting, time, modern or fantasy. Usually if you say random some noob will ruin your RP with magic on a modern theme RP.

I know it's not perfect, but seriously, the RPers have to see this. Unless they only get on the websites for the RPing, which is kinda worthless.

I can see why you would make this but people on here are simply incapable of following what you just said. As for the good RPers, they're off somewhere else where people actually have a mind. Good RPers can make random into something good. I've seen it myself.

Quoth Mexter:

You know what i find weird. Rpers are like "I really hate random rps!" When it still doesn't change though. I would but you know the whole "Y d0 U Car3" Thing. More people needed to change the style of rps at the moment.

I'm thinking about making some sort of thingy that the whole Website (Even the ones that just RP in the rooms, those are the ones that don't realise what they are doing wrong, We gotta get someone that can be heard.

The reason I despise roleplay is because I'll walk in and it'll be random.

Quoth Azure09:

"A skeleton pops behind Azure09's back and took him!"
"Azure09 bashes at the head with the pummel of his shortsword!"
"After several times the skeleton skull gets crushed and then Azure09 gets a small club(D&D terms, it's just a stick.)and crushes the rest of the bones!"
Is that how a rp kinda' works?

How it SHOULD. But heres how it goes:
Noob 1: hi cn i join rp?
Noob 2: sure.
Noob 1: k i strt out cring in a tree.
Noob 2: THN I COM WTH LAZORBEMS AND KIL U CUZ U CRAI.

One thing Rpers could do instead of barging in and asking "

Well, that depends. You cannot easily see the history of the chat, especially when it is a slow day in the chat. So people have reasons as to why they ask. Just maybe some people could not ask every five seconds if they're not replied to. THEN, they just take a look at others rp's.

Sorry, I need to stop speaking my mind. xD

I know not everyone is a master at role playing, but it is purely meant for fun. I honestly think it is things like this that turns us against eachother in a "I'm better than you" fit. Putting standards on roleplaying. I even find the people who insta-kill, and vaguely roleplay a nuisance. But insulting there way of RP'ing, and telling them they should be better. Probably will not get anyone anywhere, except for ticked at eachother...

But hey, that's my opinion.

One thing Rpers could do instead of barging in and asking "GUISE, GUISE WHAT'S TEH THEME," is read back several posts and make an inference, just a thought. Also, itd be more fun if it was just rping and not
*player does this move*
(you see that guys? Good move wasnt it?!)

Careful, they're not rping in the RP room.

Just don't make their decisions, just narrorate what they say, don't say "Then a skeleton pops up and takes _____"
