> > And of course there's the basics: don't talk ever, ever ooc (even if you put (ooc) in there), make your conversation banally realistic (Gah, bit by a bloody wolf the other day. I hate those bastards. Gonna make me a wolfskin outfit and just WALK PAST the smelly bitches, har har. Traumatise their buggerred little minds.) instead of CF-norm (Haste. Slow. Haste. People here. Ranked. I need to perfect parrying. I need to train. Training. Died yesterday. In a memory hole. Can we take a feared? Can two conjurers group together? Ha ha, I got my minor form. Die, magic user. Die, nature lover. Die, blackheart. Die, weak lightwalker. Die, blind one. I will strip your blindness. I will make you give up magic.)

> > To learn the most about roleplaying, join Troupe. Avoid being boreing in your attempts. Avoid being pedantic... be creative, figure out what oddities your char has and exploit them. Don't be obvious (Gar! I smell the blood of an arial! I hate arials! They're ugly! My parents were arials and they abused me! Where are you all going?), or cryptic (why's that guy acting like that? weird freak.).. just be realistic. Extremes aren't good roleplaying... quietly being in-character is better. Don't try to be Istendil... you might end up a Neria. Don't try to be Thror... you might end up, uh.. well, a battlerager :P
