For members who are not familiar with Warriors by Erin Hunter, or are not advanced enough for this club’s RP, this is the place to go. It shows the basics of “to-dos” and “not to-dos”, Warriors terms and meanings, what we expect from you, and blah blah blah. If you’ll read, you can find out.
Basics
These are the basics if Rping. This is for people who don’t know how to RP, or are not exactly literate enough for Warriors-Dawn Sky. If we tell you to read this, don’t be offended. Its for your own good.
What you DO NOT need to do is this:
Bad: possumtail walked over 2 stormclaw. hi stormclaw wats up? O nm. Ok. Bye. Bye.
I rarely see that, but I put it on here anyway.
Still Bad: Possumtail walked over to Stormclaw. “hi StormClaw wats up?” “O nuthin” “Okay, bye” “Bye”
A Little Better: Possumtail padded over to Stormclaw. “Hi StormClaw, what’s up?” “Oh nothing.” “Bye.”
Lots Better: Possumtail padded over to Stormclaw. “Hey Stormclaw, whats up with you today?” Stormclaw smiled as he saw his sister. “Nothing much, what about you?” “Nothing.” The light gray she-cat replied.
Advanced:(For one paragraph) A long-haired gray she-cat padded over to StormClaw. “Hey Stormclaw, whats up?” Stormclaw smiled as he saw his sister. “Nothing much, Possumtail. What about you?” Possumtail sat down beside the darker gray tom and licked her chest. “Me neither, want to go hunting?” “Sure,” Stormclaw replied. “Let’s take Whitepaw with us, she could use some training today.” The light gray she-cat beside him nodded in agreement, and the two stood up and padded over to the white apprentice.
Never, I repeat NEVER use Chatspeak while Rping. Like this:
Stormclaw padded over 2 his sis. “Hey, wat r u doing?” Possumtail looked at him. “Nm. Wat r u doing?” Stormclaw replied to her question, making a joke. “Lol” Possumtail laughed. “Brb Possumtail.” Stormclaw mewed as he saw his mate and padded over 2 her.
And so on and so on. That, especially is a big NO-NO. Sorry, but it makes you look like a n00b, and childish.
BE DESCRIPTIVE
Everyone wants to know exactly whats going on. Even my advanced isn’t that good, but it was an example. It needs to create a picture in the reader’s mind about exactly what your cat is doing. I know he is gray, what shade? What about his eye color? Why was he telling her to hold on, instead of calling his mate over to her? Whats his mate’s name, and what does she look like? If you answer these, and other questions in your RP, its going to be a whole lot longer.
I don’t expect an 1000 word essay, but make it longer than 1-2 sentences. 3 at the least, if you can help it. I understand 1 sentence in a post or two, but not every post you make.
Warriors Terms and Meanings:
Moon = A month
Twoleg = A human
Twoleg kit = A human child
Thunderpath = Road
Monster = Car/Vehicle
Twolegplace = Village, Town, etc
