Re: Introduction to RPGs

What about god-modding? Maybe you should put that down.

Re: Introduction to RPGs

1: I still don't get the pinball thing.
And
2: Is there a limit to the number of characters in a RPG?

Re: Introduction to RPGs

Pinball means that if someone is not posting in a specific RP for a while it could start to die. So some users do their best to keep it alive. And well yeah usually some people use four characters. That could include their own made up ones or ones from the Spyro universe themself's.

Re: Introduction to RPGs

You did a good job explaining! XD
I love in the, "Sounds great! Can I start posting?" How you go, "Hold it! Not yet."
It just seems somewhat amusing!  big_smile

Re: Introduction to RPGs

Another thing I'd like to bring up, in light of what I've been seeing in a lot of the RPs on this section of SF.

There will be times when those involved in an RP can't make it on at some point. It could be due to a computer malfunction, serious lag, the RPer could be on vacation. Or, they could have other things to do, such as school, work, etc. Keep in mind that not everyone can be on practically all day. People have lives off of the computer (or at least, I'd hope so).

When such a thing happens, and you notice that there's an RPer who hasn't posted in a while, out of common courtesy, either stop or slow down the RP until the aforementioned person returns. And leave a synopsis (summary of what's happened recently) for them as well, so they have a place to jump in upon their return. I can not count how many times I've seen an RP die off because RPers who were left behind in such a great way became so frustrated, that they left the RP. Eventually, as one RPer leaves, others may leave as well, effectively ending the RP.

So please, out of respect for those who can't be on at all hours of the day, keep your posts to an RP under control, so that the RPers who can't be on all day can at least have something to do in an RP when they're able to start again.
