Here are some tips for semi-literate roleplaying. They are pretty basic but they could help you if you are a beginner.
1. Please try to spell words the best you can, and if you are totally lost, there are online dictionaries. Here is a link to one simple titled Dictionary.com. Little mistakes are okay, but if there are a lot it is hard to read and very irritating.
2. Use capatilization, and use it properly! If you write sentences without the proper capitalization the reader may question if you are talking about a place, person, or a thing. Is it a proper noun or not? Come on, this is really simple.
3. Don't use emotes when roleplaying. Thats what the keys are for, typing out emotions. It makes roleplaying a lot funner to write out things instead of click little faces to simply say that your character was crying or something.
4. When you write that your character is doing something, don't use these star things to do it! (*) Like *eats a fish* should be She ate a fish quietly, or something like that without the stars.
5. Do not excessively quote your roleplaying buddies! Quoting is okay, but more than maybe two times can get annoying! There really isn't much of a need to quote over and over either. It makes a post a lot bigger then it should be!
6. It'd be nice if you could try to use better words to describe things or say something. Instead of mad, try furious. Instead of happy, overjoyed. Words like sad, happy, and mad can get boring. Try to use the the thesaurus for more educated words to describe your cat's feelings, and all. Here is a thesaurus, once again, simply titled Thesaurus.com.
7. Obviously no god modding. Your cat is no better than the rest I'm guessing, and if it is any better, then it still can't kill other cats. Your cat can't always win, nobody is perfect, they got to take the fall once in a while. Nobody likes when you and your cat act all that, so don't please.
8. Don't get too sexual in your roleplays. Thats not what this is about, having your cats have sex. If you want to roleplay your cat being in love or whatever, you can stop at a certain part. You can go to like the bedroom or whatever, but we don't want to hear all the details and all of your cat's undressing... So please, to sum it up, just keep everything PG-13. Swearing is not encouraged, but it is allowed, we know some cats have fowl mouths.
9. Don't type in some crazy color or size that hurts everyone's eyes. They will probably get angry at you, and its not fun. Some people can't stand it a bit and won't try to read it, so your roleplay dies. Some people hilight the text to read it, thats what I do. Hilighting text all the time is irritating, especially if your computer isn't letting you do it at the moment. Mine sometimes does that.. Now with the size. Another irritating thing. Quoting posts just to see what they right. Usually its because its too small. Try to keep things you write a decent size and color. Avoid yellow please...
10. Respect everyone. Nobody should be treated badly because you don't like their cat's personality. Thats just crazy, its their character, not them. If you are going to fight over some stupid issue, I suggest not to.. or at least take it to private messaging. Any fighting in the guild can lead to being kicked out.. You don't want that.
Thats all I have for now. I know I missed alot of things, Staff feel free to add on, and guild members feel free to tell us anything we're missing!
