Indeed I am.

People should also have the choice to say, "You know what? I don't want to write two paragraphs when I RP." Then we say, "Well, that sucks."

You see, as long as it is quality writing, I could give a how long it is. :P But most people can't make quality writing in less than 2 paragraphs.

However, be quality, and write however much you want.

so in the end it is reccomended that you use two paragraphs and speak in the third person.

[puppetmasterpossession]

^Exactly.

These are really just here for beginners. (Which most of the people will be. Or they will have only had experience in FV.)

As I have said before with the paragraph thing, this is just there to make sure people write correctly. Some people may not need this, like you, and so you can feel free to rp first person.

However, there are many people who don't know how to write well in first, and it will come out grammatically incorrect and with god-mods everywhere.

So, if you know how to RP in first person, do it. But, as seen in the two or three first person Rp posts on here, a lot of people do not. That is why this rule is here.



Winston walks down the street, seeing a man referring to himself as 'This One'. Winston glances at him strangely, slyly sneaking past. "I can't tell if he is trying to make a point, or if he is just being an ." Winston thinks to himself as he walks by.


There. Rped in third person. This is first person.

I walk down the street and see a guy talking to himself. I try to sneak past him, and think to myself, "I can't tell if he is trying to make a point, or if he is just being an ."

First person is shorter. And less interesting, IMO.

In short, it's a different way of writing, get over it. Writing in different styles makes you a better writer.

I like how you were deliberately more descriptive in third person than first to try and prove your point. For example, a proper transition from your first sentence to first person would be this:

I walk down the street, seeing a man referring to himself as 'This one'. I glance at him strangely, slyly sneaking past. "I can't tell if he is trying to make a point, or if he is just being an ." I think to myself as I walk by.

Just as interesting. And the same length.

That makes sense. If we prove we can make a quality attack without talking in the third person we can. Right?

KKKKKKKKKK

Clean up the language. That's like the 5th smiley'ed word in 2 pages.

I was only repeating what PMP said for maximum accuracy.

Actually, I wasn't trying to make it less descriptive, I'm just a better third person RPer. XD

Okay.

[Noctis Arashi]

Well, I can do both. So it's whatever.

[puppetmasterpossession]

Fantastic.

and guess what, they both get the job done, but what I was showing how annoying 3rd person can be when done the wrong way lol

I'm fine with how people RP. They just need to realize that more well thought out there posts are, the better rewards and bounties they get. Also, it'll be really hard to survive on the Grand Line if the RPs aren't well done, since this is an RP.

Agreed.
