Postby Dixie the Dreamer » Tue Sep 06, 2011 9:04 am

One thing: years and years and years ago I set up an account here, but I've never been in the forums. And then I lost my password and stuff so I just set up another new account today. Can someone tell me how the roleplaying here works? I read the hitchhiker's guide, but I'm still a little confused....please? :/

Yes, we can. We probably won't though... :p

Okay, serious answer now: I don't RP, but my suggestion would be to read some of the roleplays... Look for ones that Nathi is involved with as it is my understanding that she's pretty good at the whole thing...

I think a better place to ask about NS roleplaying might be this thread. Most people that frequent the General Forum don't RP much, so they won't be able to be that helpful.

You can if you want... I tend to not be a nice person to people who I disagree with vehemently... Not sure if you fall into that category... Of course if you plan on primarily RPing you'll manage it whether you intend to or not since, as I said, I don't RP...

Yeah you want to go to Nationstates / International Events or whatever it's called if you want to RP. Loads of topics there, have a browse over them and check how it all works. General's really for discussing current events / metaphysical shit.

Roleplaying is boring. All the cool people argue about semantics, post sexual innuendos, and feed their ego with praise they get after telling people how high they jumped from a building or something.

Weeeeelll, in another website (teenink.com) the roleplaying there is very addicting...to most people. I like roleplaying, so I'm curious how good roleplaying here is. I'll check it out.

I think it's mainly awful, but it remains popular - anyway, aye, Nationstation / International Events up near the 'top' of the board index is the place to go.

No really. If you hang out in General for a few months you'll never lose an argument ever again in real life.

Probably never win one either, with all the bad habits you would learn here. But hey, not winning is better than losing, right?
