User blog:MarioMariox2/How to RP (Roleplay) in chatrooms.

Intro
Hi, MMx2 here! For the most part, our wiki's chat is somewhat underused, so I figured that every now and then we should do TAWoG roleplays (RPs) to liven things up!

For those of you who don't know how to RP in chatrooms, here's a quick tutorial.

The Format
Essentially, the way to RP is like making a pizza!

Start out with the dough... -

Character's Name: Dialogue.
 * Ex. Gumball: Hi, I'm Gumball Watterson! *waves*

...and add toppings in various ways!

Character's Name (vocal inflection): Dialogue. *actions*
 * Ex. Gumball (confident): *chuckles while strutting around* I think-I'm ready-for ma' date!

(Actions) Character's Name: Dialogue. *modifiers/actions* Gumball: AAGH! KNOCK HIS BLOCK OFF! *stops after winding up a punch* ...wait.
 * Ex. (Gumball opens the toilet seat and sees Mr. Cuddles)

See? Simple!

Additional Stuff
Now that you know how to RP, there are a few things you need to know.


 * When multiple RPs are going on, always start your post with "@(Username of other RPer)".
 * When you're talking out-of-character, end your post in a bracket ->]
 * ...and/or start out your post with "OOC" which means "Out-of-character".
 * Spelling changes the way dialogue is read, like in scripts!

Example RP
I tried an RP in chat today and here's how it went.
