Just to make it easier to show off new RP ideas, ask questions not covered by the rules, or if you feel like writing a little speech on an aspect of RPs you feel is important, right here is the place.
It's easier than sending multiple P.Ms
Don't feel compelled to stick to a single topic, just write something about RPs that you want to say. It can go on for one post or a good few (as long as you double post as little as possible, we forgive first time accidents.)

No, I clawed your forehead, smashed your forehead and cracked your neck. -Sits in a chair- I'm sure you'll remember this one.-Continues to sit-

Yeah, that's when you kicked the chair at..
*ducks* SMASH!
I'll have to Frank Miller up one of my next RP characters, he should be at least 50, but at comparatively good physical condition.

I should make mine older, Like 30 or so, you know? For the "Woman in power" feeling.

You've handed almost every guy in the RP's his testicles at least once, and you want more power?

Don't forget the prostate! And to answer your question, Yes, more power.

Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you when you get so much power you have to consume whole planets for sustenance.
On a side note for new RP writers, give freedom for the players but not too much freedom. Example-
Too much freedom- Adventurers RP, everyone ended up all over the globe, although we sorted that out by everyone agreeing to go to Germany. Too little freedom- A small army, fierce weather or T-rex's show up to herd players onto your pre-set path.

Uhh, RP ideas? *Thinks* Killzone, gang warfare, Resistance Front rehash, chariot races, kindergarden coloring contests, breaking a pencil in half, solving calculus problems. working in a bottle cap manufacturering factory, shooting a movie about doing your taxes...wait, wha?

I'd like to see resistance again. Are soviet characters allowed? or would that be too powerful? having an army on your side.
Not like bringing it around constantly, but having a lot of forces to command.

I dunno about those kinda RPs anymore. They don't have the same feel as they used to.

Huh? Oh, I don't mean a structured RP. Just asking would it be fair to play a Russian in resistance?

Hehe... this seems kind of different fromeveryone elses stuff, but its a reccurring annoyance of mine in most RP's.. this place seems blessedly free of it...
REMEMBER TO FRIKKEN PUNCTUATE.
Because you see if you just say that your character entered the room he sat down at the table he took a peice of toast he ate the peice of toast he looked to the others and said hi it looks quite noobish.
Lack of punctuation seems to be the mating call of the twink, for example:
Steve entered the room he pulled an AK 47 out of his jeans pocket (how the hell does that even fit in there) and aimed it at the others giving a nasty grin and yelled at them imgoing to kill you all bwahahahahah and then he shot them all dead and danced on thier graves.
Also, just remember, that commas, should be used sparingingly and, that they do, not substitute for fullstops, because if you try, and do that you end up, having one scentence, that is 9 lines long, and if you use them too much, it fragments the scentence, and makes people read it slower, which is not what you want, most of the time.
/Rant.
