I use it only to make it more organized/legible, but I've also seen it used to the opposite effect as repeatedly mentioned in this thread already. Things like using italic for a character's thoughts, using different colors when multiple characters are having a conversation, and putting a header...

Cynicism for sure. And when I think of "idealism" I see more fuel to create a villain or comic relief character, rather than a playable character/protagonist. Of course, it's boring if all characters are cynics, conflict of opinions is good for plot progression and character development. It's...

I'm pretty cautious when I make a post for an RP, meaning things like re-reading it multiple times and reviewing the rest of the thread to make sure I didn't contradict anything and so on, but I attribute that almost completely to me wanting to feel satisfied about what I just wrote. I don't...

For me, the only point of having coding is to make things more organized and easier to see, the aesthetics beyond that are unimportant to me. The few occasions I'll use coding is to add my character's image on the post (I don't see that as necessary, but I recall that being a thing that was done...

While I haven't actually played those out yet, I did imagine some of my main OCs in different ages. I also place them on different scenarios/stories, and even alternate paths within those scenarios, which are the main turning points for their personalities. That makes it a bit complicated to...

I'd have to say the voting options make it complicated for me to vote. If there were something other than 3, it would've probably reflected the spectrum better, which is why I'm not going to vote. That said... I dislike both extremes. The former feels like "hey I'm writing a story, fill in...

Yes, which does not sound correct to me, hence it being a pet peeve of mine.

Didn't expect my post to still be mentioned, but that is another valid use of would. It's most commonly used when there is some condition following it, like my example "would have talked to her if she weren't with Bob", but it can also be used to refer to something that was common in the past...

I don't think that ever applied to the cases I've seen. I've never done a dice RP or one where the fights didn't involve gameplay, which then would have been legitimate instances to use "would", and even then, it was preferred to use "attempts/ing to" or the like instead. They were used when...

I admit that whenever I saw that, I was tempted to just go "well, he would, but since he didn't..." and ignore what the character "would" do.

Never have RPed in languages other than english, despite that not being my native language, which is portuguese (pt-br). Don't feel any inclination towards doing that either, and I can think of a few reasons why. 1- In general, I probably write/type more in english than in portuguese. When I...

Sometimes reverse image search doesn't work, or would take a while to work since you'd have to filter through many results. But at the very least, if you're using Chrome all it takes is to right click the image, and then click "search image on google", that's what I imagine is the 2-second part...

I, too, like the historical accuracy of the Fate series... Jokes aside, welcome to the forums. I haven't looked into new Type Moon RPs lately, but they usually have some consistent initial interest from what I recall, not sure how many of them actually survive though. But if you're looking...

(Since it's a "how do you" question, I'll answer with that perspective for the whole post but it's still me trying to give advice as well, so feel free to imagine yourself saying these or something) I've always been pessimistic, so it was easy to just apply that to RPing too when I saw the...

It's really the OP's duty to inform you of the posting schedule or discuss that with the players, since it's one of the things you're supposed to agree with when joining. If they don't bring that up at all, then they're to blame for the sort of thing that you went through. But as was also said...

Mine was on a game called Pyrce High. I spent a while just spectating before joining. I didn't really contribute much to the round since I didn't have any roles, though. I don't really remember details about what my character was like, but he was probably a self-insert considering it was my...

I used to make more extensive and detailed CSs and might still make them if required by an RP I really want to join, but they've become more of a chore than something fun to make, and I think there is such as thing as being too detailed to the point where it does more harm than good. Getting a...

I really haven't been in many RPs, and the ones I've been in went inactive very early on, so most of the things I could say about my characters would be considered spoilers because there was no chance for them to happen, and are only plans in my head. Still, I'll pick one of the ones I made for...

Yeah yeah, it's probably a shallow and oversimplistic way of seeing things, but so what? Let's just bite and take that as a fact for the sake of thinking about it. I'm more of a to-the-point writer and am averse to flowery writing, and too often I feel like being descriptive is synonym to that...

I know a game that's like that, it has different modes too, the problem is inactivity but hopefully that could be fixed with interest from here. It's in real time and involves some gameplay though, so it might not be a forum RPer's cup of tea, but I'd still recommend people interested in the...
