Roleplays: The must-do quiz! :)

Roleplays:The Quiz

This is to help all those roleplaying, creating a roleplay or thinking of joining a roleplay. It should tell you what to expect, popular subjects to base a roleplay on and people's opinions. Ideally you should look through all the posts. You probably cant, so use the search box to find what you are looking for, like if you wanted to search for an animal to base your roleplay around, you would go:
Search this topic >{animal you like the idea of. I'll use Warrior-Cat in this example} Warrior Cat > And up will come all posts with the words "Warrior cat". This should work with all things.

[Cloudsong]

Woo okay!

1. Do you like Animal or Human/Humanoid/Fantasy Creatures best? I think I like human/fantasy, because with humans you can express emotions that we use every day in your posts, whereas with animals, it is quite hard sometimes to express emotions. Though I also love animal roleplays <3
2. Are you a literate, semi-literate or illiterate roleplayer? I think I would call myself a semi-literate, but I can make posts that are literate. Sometimes I like to write short posts, sometimes long. It depends quite a bit on how well/how interesting the person you are RP'ing with is.
3. How often do you roleplay (estimated number of hours)? WOW hmm... I'd say 6 D: That sounds obsessive... XD
4. What annoys you most in roleplays? WHEN PEOPLE WRITE SHORT POSTS/BAD GRAMMAR/BAD SPELLING! -.-
5. What do you think is an over-used subject in a roleplay? Twilight.
6. What subject atracts you most to a roleplay? Originality... (if my friends on here make one, I join that of course XD)
7. Is the title important to a roleplay? Ehh... I think so, actually. Because if you're looking for a new roleplay to join, there are thousands, and the title has to draw you in, because otherwise you might join another one.
8. Does the amount of pages into a roleplay matter to you before you join? Well it's kind of hard to join a roleplay once it has thousands of pages... Because people tend to ignore new members/you won't know everything that had happened, and no matter how many recaps you recieve, it's not the same.
9. Do people asking for recaps constantly annoy you? Yes. Especially if it's only one page. Can't they just read the pages like everyone else does??
10. Is there a certain thing that puts you off joining a roleplay? Yes. If it is about a book that I didn't read, I don't join... And also, if it by a person I know for a fact is rude, I definetely don't join.
11. Have/Did you read the roleplay rules before joining a roleplay? Yes, I try to. What annoys me is when they're really long, and they include 'secret words' you have to put in. If I get it wrong, and they reject my form, I USUALLY don't repost there.
12. Do you use chat speak? No. Not when I'm roleplaying. Sometimes when I'm talking.
13. Is there a plot type that you think is over used? Wolf romance roleplays... I'm in lots, but well...
14. If there was a roleplay based on your faveorite book/movie/game would you join it? Yeah! Probably.
15. What is your favorite being to roleplay? Warriors. I usually do original ones, not based on books.
16. Can people tell when you are writing Out Of Character? Yes.
17. How do people tell when you are writing OOC? They write either in () {} [], or they write OOC: and write.
18. Does Spam annoy you and do you spam? YES. I hate spamming, and I have never spammed on this site.
19. Do you write posts that are over a pharagraph? Sometimes/usually.
20. Can you understand Chat speak? Yeah.. I used to chat with people online, and I know the words inside out XD
21. Does Chat Speak annoy you? Yes.
22. Do you use images you've drawn, CS images or images of the internet as pictures of your characters? I usually use a detailed description. I think I've only used one anime picture as a description.
23. Long, detailed forms, or Short, traditional forms? Traditional. If it gets too long, I sometimes don't join... If they're too short, you can tell that it's not a very literate roleplay, and I'm not interested.
24. Do you like posting historys? No... I usually get stumped on that, but I always get them in the end.
25. Do you think mini plots are ok? YEAH! It ads spice/drama to the RP.
26. Do you think roleplays should have plots? Yes. Otherwise it's boring.
27. Are some historys overused? YES. FOr example. If you look at a warriors RP, most cats aren't Clanborn. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, IN THE BOOKS, Most of the cats ARE clanborn! -.-
28. Do you like realistic or non-realistic? Non-realistic... Realistic tend to get like laundry lists, and they're boring.
29. Are any characters you use sterio-typical? No.! They are ORIGINAL, and I don't think I ever made a gary stew/mary sew.
30. Do you like sterio-typical characters? NO. I HATE THEM, they are UNORIGINAL, and annoying...
31. How many roleplays are you in, and what levels are they? I'd say about 20 now.
32. Open to all, invite only or 1x1? Invite/1x1 is good sometimes, but if they're open they tend to not die as quickly
33. Do your roleplays die down? No. I close them when I get tired, they never die. (:
34. Do you like roleplays that are like: "{insert roleplay name here} Chapter 2?
35. Are there any roleplay styles you hate? I don't have a preference, except twilight roleplays aren't cool.

WHEW! That was long Hope this helps!

[Shadow]

:3 I've never roleplayed on CS, but here's my take on roleplay:

1. Do you like Animal or Human/Humanoid/Fantasy Creatures best? Animal, definitely. Human roleplays are okay, though.
2. Are you a literate, semi-literate or illiterate roleplayer? Literate; I tend to shoot for several paragraphs.
3. How often do you roleplay (estimated number of hours)? I roleplay a little every day, but not on CS.
4. What annoys you most in roleplays? Chatspeak, illiterate roleplayers, bumping, and when there are too many in a roleplay.
5. What do you think is an over-used subject in a roleplay? Vampires >.<
6. What subject atracts you most to a roleplay? I like wolf roleplays a lot, but decent ones tend to have a messageboard of their own rather than being kept to just one thread.
7. Is the title important to a roleplay? I guess; cool titles are cool, I guess. xD
8. Does the amount of pages into a roleplay matter to you before you join? I like to start with a clean slate (I mostly roleplay one on one.)
9. Do people asking for recaps constantly annoy you? I've never had this, because I nearly always roleplay one on one.
10. Is there a certain thing that puts you off joining a roleplay? Illiterate roleplay.
11. Have/Did you read the roleplay rules before joining a roleplay? Typically, the roleplays I'm in don't have rules in the first post since hey're all discussed beforehand, so I've never really had to. xD I abide by standard rules though, like no powerplaying/godmodding.
12. Do you use chat speak? No! I don't even use chatspeak outside of roleplay.
13. Is there a plot type that you think is over used? Ehh, not really.
14. If there was a roleplay based on your faveorite book/movie/game would you join it? No, because that ruins it for me (with the exception of warriors and things like that where the possibilities aren't set in stone), besides the fact that I already have way too much to do.
15. What is your favorite being to roleplay? I don't really know. xD As long as it's not vampires/shapeshifters, anything is fine, I guess.
16. Can people tell when you are writing Out Of Character? Of course!
17. How do people tell when you are writing OOC? I put my OOC stuff in double parenthesis like this: ((OOC stuff here))
18. Does Spam annoy you and do you spam? Spam annoys me to no end, and of course I don't spam. xD
19. Do you write posts that are over a pharagraph? Yes I do; I mentioned that I like to write several paragraphs.
20. Can you understand Chat speak? Not really; I guess it depends on just how much chatspeak they use. It burns my eyes.
21. Does Chat Speak annoy you? Yes.
22. Do you use images you've drawn, CS images or images of the internet as pictures of your characters? CS images are alright for roleplays on CS; I usually use images that are respective to the site I'm roleplaying on (otherwise I usually don't use an image because I rarely bother to draw characters that haven't been developed yet). Images that you find randomly on the internet DO NOT BELONG TO YOU, and are owned by the artist who drew them or took the photo. I highly discourage using random images from the internet (I've even seen cases where the people who own the images replace them with other images that contain profanity to stop people from using up their bandwith).
23. Long, detailed forms, or Short, traditional forms?: Character info not in the actual roleplay thread? D: I like keeping my character info elsewhere (it takes up too much room if if it's actually posted on the roleplay, and I like to keep everything nice and neat).
24. Do you like posting histories? I write histories for all my characters but, see above. ^_^
25. Do you think mini plots are ok? Yeah, sometimes.
26. Do you think roleplays should have plots? I prefer that they don't, but plots are okay.
27. Are some histories overused? Absolutely.
28. Do you like realistic or non-realistic? Either is fine.
29. Are any characters you use sterio-typical? No, not really.
30. Do you like sterio-typical characters? No; I prefer characters with a bit more creativity.
31. How many roleplays are you in, and what levels are they? I'm not in any roleplays on CS at the moment, but I'm in a few offsite, and all are literate.
32. Open to all, invite only or 1x1? One on one, as I've said.
33. Do your roleplays die down? Not usually; I usually remind people if they haven't posted for a month or so. xD I try to reply as soon as I see the other person's reply so it keeps things moving.
34. Do you like roleplays that are like: "{insert roleplay name here} Chapter 2?: They're alright, I guess.
35. Are there any roleplay styles you hate? Illiterate? c: I'm also not too fond of writing in the present tense, but it doesn't annoy me too much. xD

I hope this helps you out!
