RP Info:
As promised in our bid, we are going to include some guidance and examples for roleplays to make the entire process a bit more transparent.
For starters, the old saying “quality over quantity” is still valid. What we mean by this is that a long roleplay is not necessarily good, and short, well-written ones will probably get a better grade than long, poorly-written ones. What we’re trying to say is - don’t just write words for the sake of having more words, that does not work.
Another very important thing is to point out that there is no set formula for what to roleplay about. Many users roleplay about the matches themselves, or about the match and stories behind it, and obviously it’s worth pointing out that it is what we’re here for, you can also work into your narrative stories unrelated to football, wars, or entirely different things. The possibilities are endless.
It’s important to point out that those roleplays largely come from experienced, often well-decorated users. You don’t need to be an experienced roleplayer to achieve good grades. New users are just as capable of writing good match reports and good storylines, as evidenced by these two roleplays that would also score highly for us.
On another note, we would also like to warn you that the moment this thread is posted, we start to grade rosters and roleplays. If you want to edit your roleplay and roster after having posted it, we may have already started grading it. If you already know you’re going to edit your roleplay later, please attach a note in your post (or wait with the post altogether). If you edit your post unexpectedly and want to make sure we see the edit, please feel free to message us on Discord or via telegram.
