Intro: I first posted this msg on the Char board, but got no (IMM) answer, not even (VIP)
Instead, some guy tells me to have fun! Note that I didn't ask about what should be IN
the role, but what form should it take to look more attractive to the IMMs! So, here's the post:
Each time someone asks what is there to be done in order to get one weird race/class combination,
the answer is inevitably: good RP. And with good reason.
Now, it is agreed that a great part of RPing (what, 50%?) is the role command. As a matter of fact,
it's always mentioned: have a well thought-out role.
My question is:
What is, in the eyes of the IMMs, a good role?
What person is best? 1st, 3rd?
What presentation is the best: naration, reports, encyclopedia entries, etc?
How much does the language (literary, normal, popular, broken) count?
How much of the MUD knowledge should be in there (exotic places, far-away cities, ancient history, etc) and how much does it count?
...as well as any other questions that you may think of and believe are important to take in consideration.
[I'm out of imagination. Please post other questions that you might think of]
