I like the /me advice. Something I am sure many people have not considered.  A nice bit of wise perspective Illysia.

If a door closes in the tavern and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound. 

I am trying to enlarge the font in the quest log. I have been able to increase the Notation section. However there does not seem to be a way to enlarge the Quest lists nor the quest description.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you.

Nice !

 "something right here"  that ia all well and good. However,
The point is:
"What does THIS community think"

This is an opportunity to be heard, to share what you think.


Sanwga, what is the most important thing in Roleplaying to You? What Personal RP wisdom, have you discovered along your RP journey, can you share with the community?

Prolinx: yes just like real life, Characters do get set in their ways. It isn't generally any better for real life people as it is for characters. And we do need the cranky old man or the crazy groffel Ladies.  However while the character develops the personalty stays the same.  

This thread is not necessarily about the aspects of RP that can be enforceable. This thread , if my understanding is clear, is meant to establish openly what exactly RP is to us. The covenant/Agreement is simply a polite discussion about what RP is.

If you consider yourself a wonderful RPer great add your wisdom and talent with constructive suggestions;
 For instance I have found that the most enjoyable characters to RP with are those who have a clear understanding of their character. How they react to a given situation and why. They stick to those guideline even when it becomes inconvenient to their character. They act and react to those around them according to how their character would. Not how they themselves would.  There is a clear definition of their characters personality.

Adding these bits of wisdom from the individual adds to the knowledge of the whole community. When a new RPer stumbles on this thread they will, Hopefully find a better understanding of RP. The long time RPer may find a unique perspective they never thought of exploring hence, enhancing their roleplaying experience.

This isn't written in stone, nor is it meant to be a set of unbending of rules designed to stifle creativity. It is certainly not designed to impose one persons view of RP on everyone Else. It is a collection of wisdom and suggestions shared by people who share a love of RP. To help us RP well TOGETHER. Together being the key word.
Etiquette was a wonderful word. Etiquette is after all, a means for people to get along well.

We are all writing this story together, lets write it well.

Is it really necessary to have every thread on the forums degrade into a fighting match? Come on people *sigh* Please, Disagree well. Discuss the topic without all the bickering. Something might get accomplished if we do.

As far as the community being divided. pish posh.

If we were only Rpers we would be playing a forum based game devoid of graphics. If we were only PLers we would play some other MMORPG and spend our hard earned money on treats for our characters.
I have seen Awesome Rpers Power level and the most die hard power levelers RPing.

We are here in lovely PS a nice mix of both. Fact is a player may lean more to one end of the scale or the other, but to think of us as divided pff not true there is a litttle RPer and a little PWRlvler in all of us.

Personally I took the spirit of this thread as this : Do the Rpers want to have to scroll through lines and lines of OOC conversation in the middle of an RP or do we want someone to give a tap on the shoulder to say "hey DOWN IN FRONT"  ya know
so long as it doesn't get "Big Brother" I'm fine with that.
