Roleplay Vocab

[firebird]

Really? I thought it was just to get people to post.

[Miryl]

Haha ^^
I just thought it was used to keep your RP first page ^^

[Shadow]

I've seen it used for both, but personally, I think it's annoying (and it's discouraged in "medium/advanced" roleplay).

Sometimes "bumping" a post can be useful to remind people to post. I've most commonly seen the author of the post use it, but sometimes other people do as well.

Mm..the only rp vocab I know that hasn't been listed yet is bunnying. It's just a synonym for powerplaying.

Wait a minute, I thought GM meant Game Master? =I

[Lusitano]

GM is referred to as a Game Master in certain MMORPG's. However, most commonly in play-by-post role playing such as what this forum provides, it is an abbreviation for God Moding.

I've also heard the fur around he face called a "mane", and many different names for ages, colors, landscapes, and emotions. I do agree though, wolf speak is like make-up, a little looks really pretty but too much is super ugly. I guess it really does pay off to have had a wolf role play site, and been part of 4 other wolf role play sites. ^^

Holy Tolito! o_o
I may be new here, but trust me: I've been told I'm a good writer. These words are just plain WEIRD. I mean, come on. The way I see it, you could have a gorgeous paragraph and then ruin it with one word that makes the readers go "HUH? What's that?" Really. If you saw "The brown fox flexed his crooks." would you really understand it? :/

Sometimes "bumping" a post can be useful to remind people to post. I've most commonly seen the author of the post use it, but sometimes other people do as well.

Instead of Bump, I use Bark. ^^ It's just a cute little thing that's MINE and I will eat you if you use it. Because my fursona is a Houndoom, which is a sort of Hell Hound Pokemon and I suppose they would "bark," yes?

And actually, this is what BUMP stands for on the site I go on:
Bring
Up
My
Post

Yes, I use it sometimes. But I RP in the Advanced forum, and my RP is the only active one there. So there's no need, right? ;o

Here's a rose for you *Huggles*
