Just a few things to bear in mind, please, as you engage in the Dawn of the 4th Age rp.
1. All rp notecards should be labeled, please, "Dawn of the 4th Age." They are getting lost in my inventory otherwise, and I have to spend time hunting for them.
2. There is NO excuse for lack of good manners at any time! Rude behavior, inappropriate language or disrespect of your fellow rpers will get you banned from the rp. Also, if the local sim rp rules have rpers wear a rp meter, please comply. DO NOT argue with the sim owner over this.
3. The word "smile" is a verb. However, it is not a substitute for verbs that carry the action of dialogue. You cannot "smile" a question, you ask it. You do not "smile" a statement, you state it. Do not overuse or misuse "smile."
4. When using quotations, the ending punctuation mark is inside the quotes: "See what I mean?"
5. Periods are your friends. Please use them at the end of sentences. Sometimes, they are the only ways I have of knowing that one thing has ended and another has begun.
6. A few cautions about using translated phrases:
a. The proper way to use a phrase which is to be translated is as follows: "Mae govannen (Well met.)."
b. If you use such phrases, then you are indicating to rpers you are speaking that language, and if they do not speak it, their proper response is not understand you.
c. You must indicate that you are switching to another language in this case, so that your fellow rpers know you are now speaking a language that they would recognize.
7. Do not rp people in who may stumble into the area of rp into the scene without their permission. Speak to them OOC using (( )), and make sure if they are willing to rp, they understand what is taking place.
8. SLOW DOWN! Not everyone types or responds as fast as you. Please DO NOT rp over others because they are not responding as fast as you THINK they should. I cannot, cannot stress this enough!!!! Allow other rpers the time they need to respond. I know that I myself have been in rp situations where I couldn't possibly respond in the time I was given, and it is a very dis-satisfying feeling. Courtesy costs nothing, yet it brings a great reward.
After saying all this, allow me to say that the quality of the rp continues to be quite high, and I am continually pleased by the complexity and the content of each and every rp.
THANK YOU!!!!!
