Pips Flickr Pics Submission “ Legion of Doom ” by : Marcus Stipes is one tricky little caveat though to this which can get confusing . Role-playing animals . I do NOT recommend anyone to RP a non-speaking character of any kind unless they are HIGHLY skilled with a lot of experience in role-play under their belts . It ’ s tricky and can go so wrong , so fast !
There are those who don ’ t like when you state in your emotes things like “/ me feels the light droplets of water sprinkle upon her delicate cheeks . She looks up at the growing clouds and then for shelter from the on-coming storm .” But personally , I think that sets a scene that others can play off of . You just need to be mindful of other such statements someone else has made and go with what the first weather reporter has stated the sky is doing before adding it into your own emotes !
My way is better !
Everyone has their own style of role-play and no style is right or wrong ! It ’ s important to work with the other person ’ s style , let it influence you or you try to influence them . A responsive , thoughtful player is a valuable player . If someone has a hard time with English but you see they are trying really hard to emote well , just roll with it ! If you can ’ t understand what they said , try asking for clarification in IM ’ s . It is perfectly OK to IM your partner to interact OOC ’ ly while RPing !
It is true , longer very well written emotes can be very exciting and can help people to figure out what to emote next more easily , but we don ’ t always get that sort of RP in response to our own and it ’ s important to take what we get and work with it best we can . You can always find a way to extricate yourself from RP if it just isn ’ t working for you , or you can help them through IM ’ s and find yourself a new grateful friend who begins to RP in a way that is way more pleasing for you too .
