What is Roleplaying?
It's like an interactive story between you and another person. Each of you has control over your own characters and you're working together to create a story.
The Forbidden Act of God-Moding
God-moding is when you control someone else's character along with your own.
Example: (Your character Danny is Watching a movie with someone else's character Christy.) Danny happily enjoyed watching a movie. Christy sat next to him watching the movie along side him.
Since Christy is not your character, you have no control over her, so you can't say what she does. However, you may god-mode if you have permission from the other person.
The Forbidden Act of Thread Crashing
Thread crashing is when you post in the middle of someone else's thread without their permission. Think of it like randomly going up to two strangers in a restaurant and interrupting their conversation. It's considered rude in real life and it is equally frowned upon on this site. The only exception to this rule is if the thread is marked "open", which means it is open to everyone else on here to post in. You can usually tell that it's an open thread because the poster will put Open in the title.
Roleplaying Tips
* Please always use proper spelling and punctuation. It will make it much easier for the person for the person (or people) that you're roleplaying with.
* Make your post longer than one sentence. I'm not saying that you need to write five paragraphs or anything like that, but try writing at least a paragraph of a few sentences. The more information that you provide in your post, the easier it will be for people to respond to you.
* Use your imagination, it will take you very far
