R.S T-1

For everyone, it is important to remember the role-play rules of R.S. Most of what you will see here is a variation, or home-brew, of traditional T-1 role-play. Meaning that while things largely remain the same, there are some differences to keep note of. We will begin by reviewing over what exactly role-play is.

What is Role-Play
Role-play is the designated term for when a person acts as a particular character. Normally, this occurs between at least two people who can role-play as separate characters. In R.S, and many other places like it, role-play is done through writing. This medium offers a great deal of articulation and precision between writers. Normally, the two role-players involved will take turns between one another to achieve some kind of goal. Be this for a simple conversation, developing a bond between characters, training, or even fighting one another. These individual writings are called posts. In order to balance the potentially conflicting narratives between posts, all of these are rendered as attempts.

Instead of writing, "I walked up to the older man and shook his hand," you would instead say something along the lines of, "I walked up and offered a hand to the old man. If he accepted the gesture, I'd shake his hand."

This gives other writers a chance to respond, and judge whether or not they would like to engage in the opportunity you have presented to them.
