1. Do you like Animal or Human/Humanoid/Fantasy Creatures best? Animals and very rarely fantasy creatures.
2. Are you a literate, semi-literate or illiterate roleplayer? I don't know. Most likely literate.
3. How often do you roleplay (estimated number of hours)? For a while it was at least 2 hours a day, but I need to get into a good roleplay again because currently I'm not roleplaying much at all.
4. What annoys you most in roleplays? Mary sues, godmodders, and selfish idiots who constantly create plots revolving around them.
5. What do you think is an over-used subject in a roleplay? Vampires and wolves. There's enough already, stop creating them. want to be unique? Go make a vampire-wolf rp or something.
6. What subject atracts you most to a roleplay? A unique idea.
7. Is the title important to a roleplay? It's not a huge factor, but a simple and cool sounding idea will capture my attention a lot better than a corny song quote or something.
8. Does the amount of pages into a roleplay matter to you before you join? if it's 100 pages of awful posts then yes, it matters. Otherwise it can be helpful.
9. Do people asking for recaps constantly annoy you? In fast moving roleplays they're sometimes needed, especially if that person is often left behind.
10. Is there a certain thing that puts you off joining a roleplay? Bad role players.
11. Have/Did you read the roleplay rules before joining a roleplay? Completley avoiding rules is never a smart idea.
12. Do you use chat speak? I won't bother with spell check if it's OOC, but chat speak in posts is lazy and annoying.
13. Is there a plot type that you think is over used? "Evil wolf of doom killed all his pack mates. Mary Sue is the only one left and now is working to rebuild her pack. Will you join them?" Meh. >.<
14. If there was a roleplay based on your faveorite book/movie/game would you join it? If they didn't completely butcher the plot and made some attempt at making a decent roleplay then yes.
15. What is your favorite being to roleplay? Stray dogs can be fun.
16. Can people tell when you are writing Out Of Character? yes.
17. How do people tell when you are writing OOC? (()) or OOC:
18. Does Spam annoy you and do you spam?[/b yes and hopefully not.
[b] 19. Do you write posts that are over a pharagraph?
if it's a role play of one liners I'll try and then go to one liners if no one picks up on it. Otherwise yes, and the post legnth varies with what is going on.
20. Can you understand Chat speak? fairly easily.
21. Does Chat Speak annoy you? Very much, yes.
22. Do you use images you've drawn, CS images or images of the internet as pictures of your characters? If it's a more complicated character I'll usually draw them out, otherwise a description works. Using other people's images is art theft.
23. Long, detailed forms, or Short, traditional forms? I'd rather stick to a short one because I usually go against whatever personality i set for a character after it gets going.
24. Do you like posting historys? Depends on the character.
25.
26. Do you think roleplays should have plots? A plot that still gives characters some amount of freedom is good. Plots help to point people in the right general direction, but it gets annoying to stick to a plot exactly.
27. Are some historys overused? Yes. Dark, terrible, and traumatic pasts are way to over used.
28. Do you like realistic or non-realistic? Both have potential to be awesome or fail.
29. Are any characters you use sterio-typical? None that I can think of.
30. Do you like sterio-typical characters? Not at all, especially the emos.
31. How many roleplays are you in, and what levels are they? None at the moment, and most were semi-lit or literate.
32. Open to all, invite only or 1x1? open to all, provided they know how to role play.
33. Do your roleplays die down? sometimes.
34. Do you like roleplays that are like: "{insert roleplay name here} Chapter 2? If it's completely random and unneeded then yes. Sometimes the plot reaches it's end though, and a new one should be created.
35. Are there any roleplay styles you hate? People who write things like it's a play.

Re: Roleplays: The must-do quiz! :)

Postby Tiny Bubbles » Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:35 am

I don't rp here in CS, but I do on some other sites.

1. Do you like Animal or Human/Humanoid/Fantasy Creatures best? Animals definetly, and depending on the subject of the roleplay, I like human ones too
2. Are you a literate, semi-literate or illiterate roleplayer? It depends on the roleplay. Mainly, I guess it would be semi-literate? The people I mainly roleplay with write it out a little differently than the people on here.
3. How often do you roleplay (estimated number of hours)? It varies with the days and the amount of people online. I can roleplay for hours on end, at a weekend with at least one person other than me online.
4. What annoys you most in roleplays? When someone describes something but I don't get what they mean, or power playing.
5. What do you think is an over-used subject in a roleplay? There are quite a few. I play on a few(warrior cats and wolves) but they're still good, even if used a lot.
6. What subject atracts you most to a roleplay? It's mainly not the subject that attracts me, but the people playing.
7. Is the title important to a roleplay? In my opinion, no/
8. Does the amount of pages into a roleplay matter to you before you join? Yes. If there are loads of pages of roleplaying, and I've not been there for it all, I wouldn't join because of the amount of catching up to do.
9. Do people asking for recaps constantly annoy you? Not unless they ask almost every day.
10. Is there a certain thing that puts you off joining a roleplay? If there is a large group of people playing. As a rule, I don't play with more than about 7 people.
11. Have/Did you read the roleplay rules before joining a roleplay? Yes.
12. Do you use chat speak? Not really. Only if I'm telling someone BRB, lol, or G2G
13. Is there a plot type that you think is over used? Same as the type of RP.
14. If there was a roleplay based on your faveorite book/movie/game would you join it? It depends.
15. What is your favorite being to roleplay? Warriors, or occasional human
16. Can people tell when you are writing Out Of Character? Yes.
17. How do people tell when you are writing OOC? I always put OoC before I type out of character.
18. Does Spam annoy you and do you spam? Well, we talk among ourselves while we're rping, about things that have nothing to do with the rp. But we usually have a section of roleplaying in the same post.
19. Do you write posts that are over a pharagraph? Not really. like I said, me and my friends rp differently from most people.
20. Can you understand Chat speak? Kinda. I can understand simple chatspeak but not to extreme measures
21. Does Chat Speak annoy you? It depends how bad it is
22. Do you use images you've drawn, CS images or images of the internet as pictures of your characters? Either images I've coloured(with a lineart) or images off the internet
23. Long, detailed forms, or Short, traditional forms? Again, it depends
24. Do you like posting historys? Yes. But I don't like writing it all at once. I'll reveal a little more each time through the rp
25. Do you think mini plots are ok? Definetly. I wouldn't roleplay if I didn't have mini plots
26. Do you think roleplays should have plots? Sometimes. But mostly, I'd rather you could twist and turn it your own way.
27. Are some historys overused? In my opinion no. All of the historys may have something in common, but each will be unique in a certain way.
28. Do you like realistic or non-realistic? a bit of both really
29. Are any characters you use sterio-typical? kind of. They could be, in the right situations, but most of the time, I'll make a stereotypical character but they'll change over time.
30. Do you like sterio-typical characters? Again, it depends
31. How many roleplays are you in, and what levels are they? about 3. I couldn't really judge the levels, because we all use proper spelling, and grammar and are quite good at describing, but we play differently from on here.
32. Open to all, invite only or 1x1? Probably invite only or 1x1. I have played an open to all one, but there were so many different people and timezones it got confusing very fast... The ones I play on are open to all, but it's mainly a small group of online friend that play on it, so it's kinda invite only. I also like 1x1 as you don't have to read through pages to catch up.
33. Do your roleplays die down? Not particularly. If someone doesn't come on for a couple of days, the rest of us usually stop posting so they don't miss too much, but mostly they get played on daily.
34. Do you like roleplays that are like: "{insert roleplay name here} Chapter 2? I'm a little confused with this...
35. Are there any roleplay styles you hate? Illiterate? Or like a zoo roleplay? Where everyone is a different species. They don't seem to work too well and the interaction isn't usually good.

Hope this helps you!

Re: Roleplays: The must-do quiz! :)

Postby .Arrow. » Wed Apr 14, 2010 12:02 pm

1. Do you like Animal or Human/Humanoid/Fantasy Creatures best?
For me, it generally depends on the story/plot for the roleplay, but I join animal RPs more than human
2. Are you a literate, semi-literate or illiterate roleplayer?
Depending on what I have to go off of, my posts vary from semi-literate to literate
3. How often do you roleplay (estimated number of hours)?
Not really sure, I come and go from my computer a lot so I'll post if there's been a new post added to the thread, usually.
4. What annoys you most in roleplays?
God-modding. Mary/Gary-Sues and Emo/Punk/Goths. People that don't follow along with what's going on in the roleplay and go ahead and post whatever they want even if it makes no sense to those that do follow along.
5. What do you think is an over-used subject in a roleplay?
Vampires. Wolves. Warrior cats. Werewolves are also getting up there.
6. What subject atracts you most to a roleplay?
I don't really know...
7. Is the title important to a roleplay?
It helps draw attention. The use of things like ~ and * annoy me as does improper capitalization.
8. Does the amount of pages into a roleplay matter to you before you join?
I generally prefer to join roleplays that are newer or haven't started roleplaying yet.
9. Do people asking for recaps constantly annoy you?
Yes. Especially if it's only two or three pages since there last post.
10. Is there a certain thing that puts you off joining a roleplay?
When there are a large amount of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization errors in the first post and the first few forms. Also if the roleplay has started and it's all one-liners. If it focusses around romance or encourages romance, I generally stay away from it.
11. Have/Did you read the roleplay rules before joining a roleplay?
Always do, sometimes several times.
12. Do you use chat speak?
No. I would rather quit roleplaying altogether than use chatspeak in roleplay.
13. Is there a plot type that you think is over used?
Prophecies.
14. If there was a roleplay based on your faveorite book/movie/game would you join it?
Possibly. So long as the world doesn't get messed up and actual characters from that favourite thing are not used.
15. What is your favorite being to roleplay?
Again, not really sure, it varies.
16. Can people tell when you are writing Out Of Character?
Yup.
17. How do people tell when you are writing OOC?
I usually have at least two line breaks between in character and OOC, plus, I use double parenthesis.
18. Does Spam annoy you and do you spam?
Spam can go get blown up. No, I don't spam.
19. Do you write posts that are over a pharagraph?
I usually write at least one paragraph and if I have enough to go off of, I'll have multiple paragraphs. So yes.
20. Can you understand Chat speak?
Yes and no. I know quite a bit, but a lot of it confuses me.
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 prefer to write descriptions for my characters instead of find pictures. When I do need pics, it's most often internet.
23. Long, detailed forms, or Short, traditional forms?
Long and detailed.
24. Do you like posting historys?
Usually, yes.
25. Do you think mini plots are ok?
So long as they don't take over the plot, aren't over-exaggerated, and can mostly be ignored by the other members.
26. Do you think roleplays should have plots?
I prefer if they have at least some sort of plot.
27. Are some historys overused?
Definitely.
28. Do you like realistic or non-realistic?
Both, though I usually prefer realistic with some fiction added into it.
29. Are any characters you use sterio-typical?
I don't think so.
30. Do you like sterio-typical characters?
No. They annoy me a great deal and if there are too many stereotypical characters in the RP, I generally won't join.
31. How many roleplays are you in, and what levels are they?
Four, I believe. They're all semi-lit.
32. Open to all, invite only or 1x1?
Open to all.
33. Do your roleplays die down?
The ones I have owned (on other sites) lasted between half a year and a year before they started to die down. The ones I join also usually last several moths, at least.
34. Do you like roleplays that are like: "{insert roleplay name here} Chapter 2?
I've never participated in ones like that, so I don't know.
35. Are there any roleplay styles you hate?
I dislike when people use *'s to show an action and when people roleplay in first person. Other than that, there isn't much more that I can think of.

1. Do you like Animal or Human/Humanoid/Fantasy Creatures best? I prefer humanoid roleplays, because with most animal roleplays unless it's all one species it doesn't make sense for them to all be together, and most of the time people don't bother to explain why they would be.
2. Are you a literate, semi-literate or illiterate roleplayer? Literate.
3. How often do you roleplay (estimated number of hours)? I rarely roleplay anymore, but this is more due to me having writer's block and not being able to find one that really peaks my interest. ^^;
4. What annoys you most in roleplays? Illiteracy, and overdone characters.
5. What do you think is an over-used subject in a roleplay? Hidden pasts, vampires, wolves, shapeshifters, characters bent on revenge. Over dramatic-ness in general. lol
6. What subject attracts you most to a roleplay? Unique storylines.
7. Is the title important to a roleplay? Somewhat, it's what people see before they even open the thread, so it has to be able to draw them in. After you're already in there I don't think anyone pays attention to the title anymore.
8. Does the amount of pages into a roleplay matter to you before you join? Yes, if I see that it's been around for a while and nobody has posted I don't even bother looking.
9. Do people asking for recaps constantly annoy you? No, everyone has a life, and sometimes a roleplay really gets going. It can be hard to keep up with longer ones.
10. Is there a certain thing that puts you off joining a roleplay? Bad background stories and illiteracy.
11. Have/Did you read the roleplay rules before joining a roleplay? Yes, otherwise people get mad at you, haha.
12. Do you use chat speak? Not usually, and definitely never in a roleplay. Nobody says 'lol' in the middle of a sentence in real life.
13. Is there a plot type that you think is over used? Ah...not really. It depends on where you're roleplaying; usually it tends to follow the trend of the website. I think on CS a lot of them are wolf roleplays, but on a site like Gaia, for example, there's a much larger variety.
14. If there was a roleplay based on your favorite book/movie/game would you join it? I wouldn't want to ruin the story and characters, so no, unless it had nothing AT ALL to do with any of the already existing characters. Generally what happens is that everyone wants to be a major player, and it just doesn't work that way.
15. What is your favorite being to roleplay? Humanoids of almost any kind. :)
16. Can people tell when you are writing Out Of Character? Yes, because I either say "OOC: blahblahblah" or I type in ((double parenthesis)).
17. How do people tell when you are writing OOC? See above answer.
18. Does Spam annoy you and do you spam? Yes, it does a little, and no, I don't.
19. Do you write posts that are over a paragraph? It depends. Sometimes it's not really necessary, and typing too much seems conceited, like you're trying to take over the roleplay. Generally a paragraph of five or six sentences is enough.
20. Can you understand Chat speak? Yes, most of the time.
21. Does Chat Speak annoy you? Definitely.
22. Do you use images you've drawn, CS images or images of the internet as pictures of your characters? I usually draw my own, but I understand that some people can't draw so I don't mind if they use a picture off the internet...as long as it isn't someone else's original character. I don't think people should roleplay using CS pets as characters unless everyone else in that particular RP is doing it; it's unoriginal.
23. Long, detailed forms, or Short, traditional forms? Medium length ones that don't give away too much of the character's background are nice. It's useful to have some information that you can spread out throughout the story.
24. Do you like posting histories? Only if it's relevant to the roleplay.
25. Do you think mini plots are ok? Of course.
26. Do you think roleplays should have plots? Yes and no. You can only set up so much of the plot beforehand, and everyone is going to do what they want anyways. I think it's okay to set up a backstory and leave the rest of the storyline to unfold.
27. Are some histories overused? Sort of.
28. Do you like realistic or non-realistic? It depends on what you mean by realistic. I like sci-fi, but excessive non-realism where people don't even have plausible reasons for their characters' abilities...no.
29. Are any characters you use stereotypical? I try my best for them not to be.
30. Do you like stereotypical characters? No, I don't.
31. How many roleplays are you in, and what levels are they? I'm not currently active in any roleplays, but I'm writing a story for myself.
32. Open to all, invite only or 1x1? It depends on what you're going for.
33. Do your roleplays die down? I don't know, I usually leave before that happens. XD
34. Do you like roleplays that are like: "{insert roleplay name here} Chapter 2? I don't see why there would need to be one, unless the first got deleted.
35. Are there any roleplay styles you hate? I don't really hate anything, I just don't have any interest in some roleplays, but that's all based off my own interests.
