How to Do the Original Roleplaying Online

Last Updated: September 5, 2019

This is the original role-playing way. This article will explain 99.9% of all details involved in the art of role-playing.

Steps

1
Know how to show commands in role-playing. Some of the most common ways to type out commands are to use these symbols then type any action that you are doing between them.
- You can use DASHES ( - - )
- You can use ASTERISKS ( * * )
- The more modern way is to just type normal. For example, Jon walked up to Billy and said, "Hey Billy! Long time no see."
2
Avoid typing commands like this:
- *Says how are you doing?*

Say it without typing something like what is shown up above. Here are a few examples on correct ways to do role-playing:
- *Dances on the dance floor* Hey, you want to dance with me?
- -Looks around to see if there are intruders- This land isn't safe, we should find safer grounds
- - Jon walked over to the school bench slowly then sat down, staring at the big fat F on his paper. -
- *Looks at you* What's up?
4
Be creative with details. Role-playing is all about details, typing somewhat quick, and having a wide open imagination. Cause without those, you are going to have one really boring roleplay.
5
Set up a roleplay beginning.
- Now, this is most likely the most important part of the role-playing sequence.
- This is because when you are role-playing, you don't really need to plan ahead, but you need to know how to start out a story.
- Normally it is best that before you roleplay with someone, you talk to them about where the SETTING is at. This is a very important key to keeping a story going, because you don't want to just say something random then have the other person become confused, cause the story line doesn't match what they expected.
6
Know how to pause, and jump out of the roleplay when you are being involved with other parts of your life. This is the only REAL way to jump out of a ROLE-PLAY temporarily or permanently is to use PARENTHESES ( ).
- The PARENTHESES are used when you need to take a break or leave the game cause you got busy with something else. Now, I'm going to show you an example on how to use these correctly:
  - EX: *Continues to sit on the floor against the wall*
7
Know when to use the parentheses. Now, when it comes to the PARENTHESES, you can use them a lot or you can use them rarely, but when using them you need to make sure that you use them with caution cause if you constantly type them in, you may ruin the game for you and the other role-player.
8
Now back to the SETTING. This is a very delicate part of the whole ROLE-PLAYING subject, cause if you have no real storyline to start out at, the ROLE-PLAY will be very boring cause neither of you will have any clue on how to react anymore. So, anyway, when you want a SETTING to be created, it is best you talk about it ahead of time cause you wouldn't want to start a game without any idea of where it takes place at.
9
Talk to the person who you want to ROLE-PLAY with or who wants to ROLE-PLAY with me, and ask what the SUBJECT/SETTING of the story is about. Many people get into a long detailed storyline about their life or something similar. People also do ROLE-PLAYING that is like a fantasy movie, its full of mythology or other assortments.
10
Make sure you know what you are role-playing about, and then just go with the flow. Role-playing is all about being freestyle, there is no exact storyline to everything, role-playing isn't like a book, you don't just read through and follow everything the way you think they should be, sometimes, mistakes are meant to be made.
11
Now, time for the next part of role-playing. When it comes to being sexually active with someone during role-playing, you need to make sure the details are very NAUGHTY. Because a really good SEXUAL roleplay makes the person HORNY in real life.
- Again, overall, role-playing is supposed to be played out is if there is no real storyline, you can act anyway you want, but you can't roleplay to where you are jumping ahead way to fast.
- EX:
  - RPer1: *Sits on the ground watching the tv*
  - RPer2: *Strips your clothes off and has sex with you*
    - Wrong! Before you do any commands that affect the other role-player you make sure both people are willing to participate in the same role-playing form. If you try to affect the other role-player against his/her wishes, then you can held liable for verbal assault or other problems. When it comes to role-playing, everyone is supposed to enjoy it and just go with the flow of how the roleplay is set.
12
To become truly experienced in role-playing you need to understand that role-playing can become anywhere from SEXUAL to FIGHTING. Role-playing is all about having fun with what you are doing, and if you find what you're doing not fun, then look for another version of it.

Method 1

Method 1 of 1:

Role-playing Types

Fighting; This can vary from just regular fist fighting to things like Jujitsu or Jedi's.
Sexual; This can vary from EXPLICIT to CENSORED.
Life; This can vary from FAMILIES to WORLDWIDE.
- Really, every roleplay can somehow interact with any of the other types, so overall, the whole type list would actually be under LIFE. Now, to easily narrow everything down into very simple terms, all you need are these 3 main things:
An open-mind; the roleplay can go completely haywire.
Wide Imagination; the role-plays can go so far that you could actually play it every time you roleplay, it could become something that you actually think is realistic.
Somewhat fast typing; the games can have like a billion details for every person and minor change in the story.

Question

What apps/websites can I roleplay with others?

Community Answer

There are many, with many age differences and rules. A personal favorite of mine is ChickenSmoothie, which has a roleplaying section and can be used to meet people of all ages with all sorts of ideas and skill levels, as well as detailed forums with sections dedicated to posting specific details you're looking for. It is a site for all ages, so you cannot do any sexual-based roleplaying; if you're looking for more freedom, there are sites like RPNation and IwakuRoleplay.
