cartoon brawl

[hybirdx]

Slade put his hand on his head, and he rears back and laughs "Well not exactly! Being a ninja does have it set backs when I have to train most of the time I don't talk to people all that much!"

Then slade Relized that every time Katt mentions Ryu she stammers "Can I ask you a question? How come you are not hanging out Ryu? I mean It doesn't seem like you have anywhere else to go than township?"

'Oh geez Slade! you're just trying to get your self in trouble arn't ya!'

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Katt stares at the ground for a little while.

"Why bother," she murmurs. "I'll never get up the courage to talk to him. Really talk. Ever since he... he saved me from the poison, and I was fighting him too, I... I admired his virtue. I wish I... uhm..."

Katt blushes underneath her light covering of fur. She squirms uncomfortably, her butt grinding against the ground. "I don't think this is important!"

 

[hybirdx]

"Alright alright! We can drop it!"

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Harkle! Caugh! Craugh! Chuckle!

*Jessica Rabbit caughs and crawls away, healed but still weak.*

You HURT me! Just you wait! I'm going to get some reinforcement! Just you wait!!!

*Disappears for a while.*

 

[hybirdx]

"Uh-oh... Whats shes up to?" Bleu saw Jessica crawling somewhere "I don't like the looks of this... Any way we must be here Ryu!"


"Hmmmm-mmmm!"

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Katt's eyes widen. She leaps to her feet.

"R-Ryu!?"

 

[hybirdx]

Ryu landed a little dizzy since Bleu forgot to instal the motion sickness reducer

 

[Nemsis]

[unskilled]

*Blade walks in*

 

[princessa]

"imposter!" the carebears cheerfully shriek out at the fake share bear picture...

"hi goku!" surprise bear yells, popping out behind him.

the carebears start wrestling each other happily. wish bear shyly sends goku a blown kiss.

Suddenly, like he was possed by Zeon, Slade bolts torwards the carebares slashing like a madman


"Die die die!!!"

 

[unskilled]

*Blade steps in*

 

[princessa]

"oh, that's not right!" funshine bear frowns at slade.

the carebears focus their happy energies onto the mentally controlled cartoon character and drive out its demons.

"there now! those mean and violent voices won't tell you what to do anymore!" champ bear cries.

 

[hybirdx]

Slade however didn't stop the onslaught and ripped funshine bear in half with the gizarm sword!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

All of a sudden, Jessica's husband, Roger Rabbit, jumps into the group.

-You monsters! he shouts. You meanies! You evil crooks! You hurt my little Jessica! My hunny-bunny! My sweetheart! My sunshine! My...

-Roger, darling, caughs Jessica. Skip the small talk and beat their asses!

-Whatever you say, my sugarplum! her husband answers, and turn towards the group. Where do you want me to start?

 

[Um_I_forgot]

Marios back in the action!

Now I use a feather to make me into a flying Mario.
I fly high above everyone else.
Then I throw(with super force I might add) a Goomba shell at all players in the room.

"Ha ha ha! Yousa messed with the wrong plumber!"

 

[unskilled]

*Blade walks in.. *

*laughs at the plumber*

 

[Um_I_forgot]

*Smiles*

"Do you think itsa funny?"

I run up to Blade and flying uppercut him into the air.
Then as he is falling back to earth I fly above him and slam into him with a lit bomb.
As we hit the ground the bomb explodes and Blade is now just a little pile of ash while I (Mario) am perfectly fine.

*Uses a small fan to blow Blades ashes about the room*

"Now thatsa funny!"

Hey, no offence to um_i_forgot, but you might want to read up a bit on Lit ettiquette.

 

[Um_I_forgot]

I'm not sure I follow you.

What are you talking about?

 

[Elub]

I'm not sure I follow you.

What are you talking about?

Ok....fist there's this:

"3. Remember that you do not control the plot (Hecate)
When playing, remember that all players have equal rights (unless agreed upon differently) in influencing the development of the story. This means that just because you want the plot to go in a distinct direction, does not necessarily mean it will happen. You cannot force everyone else to do things the way you want: you have to use your intelligence and creativity ? just as you would in real life ? to influence the scene."


"

 

[Elub]

Then..

"Combat (Mike)
When it comes to combat you need to get to the point with the move, and make it, but there are no auto-connects and no auto-kills. A example of an acceptable move (with basic characters) is as follows:

Character A runs forward and swings his/her sword at character B.

Such a move leaves the following options for your opponent:

Character B has the opportunity to block
Character B has the opportunity to counter
Character B has the opportunity to accept the hit
Character B has the opportunity to run away"

 

[Elub]

"4. Do not act for another player (Hecate)
Of course we all want people to react the way we would like them to, so we can get on with our own plans, but you cannot decide how other characters will react to your actions. You cannot make decisions and act for others: you can only act for yourself, and you can only speak for yourself. This is an extremely important rule to remember: not only because it is often very tempting to break it, but also because breaking it is virtually guaranteed to piss other players off. For Example:

I was playing a mighty bad girl and was holding the leader of the good guys captive in my castle (the person playing the leader of the good guys and I had privately worked out a really nice plot line of how he could free himself, without me going against my bad, wicked nature). The next thing I read on the thread, is that another player had "...sneaked into the castle [which was protected by numerous magic spells: the reason why I had been able to take a captive at all] and past the guards [my guards at that time were a monster army], then taken the captain of the guards captive and forced him to lead me to the witch's quarters. Quivering with fear from this unknown stranger she threw herself at my feet, sobbing and begging for mercy. I then went to release the Commander. The witch surrendered herself, her castle and her army." Needless to say, I was not pleased with this player's behavior! "

And finally

"HOW TO WRITE
What follows is only a brief discussion of good writing techniques, for more information check out some of the helpful guides on Literotica's Writer's Resources page.

Why should I give a rat's ass about this; I just want to RP!
Following the guidelines discussed above will ensure that threads run smoothly, but will not to make them fun or interesting. The responsibility for this lies with every player involved in a thread, and depends upon the quality of their posts. This is where those writing skills come in: no matter how good an imagination you have, if your posts are boring, or your grammar and/or spelling are so bad that your posts incomprehensible, then you will not be helping to make the thread fun.

Avoid boring other players to death
Consider the following post by player 1:

Alphonso:
*enters the room and shuts the door*
What do you mean I owe you money?

This post follows all the basic rules of role playing, but it's about as much fun to read as the ingredient list on a box of All Bran. If this is what your posts look like then no one is going to enjoy role playing with you. Compare the above example with this alternative post, describing the same scene, by player 2:

Alphonso:
Slamming the door as he entered the room, Alphonso rounded angrily on Hawthor, the imperious looking elf sitting at the table. "What do you mean I owe you money?!" He shouted, waving the paper IOU he had received in the elf's face.

By including descriptive details Player 2 draws the reader into the scene, making it seem real, and thus making it interesting. Descriptions are the key, and every action, observation, or comment is an opportunity for you to make your character come alive. Use these opportunities - it's not hard to do! Let's say your character, Alphonso, is shutting a door, here are just a few things you could describe through this action: how he shuts it, why he shut it that way, what sort of door it is, what notice (if any) do NPC's take of the door shutting, etc.

One caveat to this recommendation is that, unless you are just going for comic effect, do not go overboard on the descriptions. Too much describing will make a scene 'farcical' rather than 'alive', and will make it difficult for readers to figure out what is actually taking place. For example, consider this post by player 3:

Alphonso:
Slamming the stultifyingly solid wooden door, decadently carved with figures of voluptuous naked women frolicking erotically with well endowed satyrs, into its cold steel frame like an enraged beast, as he swept authoritatively into the room; Alphonso wrathfully rounded upon Hawthor.

The almost frightfully tall, and diabolically imperious-looking, elf was sitting sheepishly at the small iron table in the corner of the elegantly furnished chamber, and sipping prosaically from a fine bone china cup, upon which the arrival of the dark, slaughtering hordes of Hell upon the golden beaches of Illian was depicted in loving detail.

"What do you mean I owe you money?!" Alphonso exclaimed vociferously, his flushed face contorted into a mask of seething fury, and waving the paper IOU he had received that morning in the elf's pale, but excruciatingly handsome, dignified face.

Player 3's post is certainly not boring, but it packs in such a ridiculous amount of description that the character's actions (entering the room, etc.) are getting lost amidst the 'frolicking maidens' and 'slaughtering hordes'.

KillerMuffin's quick and dirty guide to writing, for the ORPer
This isn't RP advice, this is writing advice, because that's what's going on here: you are writing a story. The key word here is story. What are stories? They are long strings of words arranged in an easily understood format to advance a plot and develop characters. A role playing thread is an ongoing story written by a group of people, working together, to create something that's not only enjoyable, but interesting.

1. Tenses
Pick one for yourself and stick with it. Not everyone in the thread has to use past tense or present tense. However, if you start with past tense, stick with it. Don't use a different tense every other post.

2. Point of view
What point of view should I write it in? First person or third person? It doesn't matter what POV you use, just pick one and stick with it as well. Again, it doesn't matter what everyone else in the thread is using either.

A caveat for both of these points: If the thread has been predominantly one tense or POV, then it's usually more comfortable to pick those up and run with them.

3. Formatting
You are part of a story, so it should be written as a story. Not because the great KM says so, but simply because people will be reading this, including yourself. Using paragraphs, as I've used here, and standard writing, will go a long way to making a better RP. This is a clarity issue, not a style issue: you're communicating not only with me the reader, but with other players, and you don't want them to misunderstand you. Clarity is more important in an RP than individuality.

4. Mechanics of writing
Icky things like spelling, capitalization, grammar, and punctuation. No one here expects perfection. No one expects anyone else to go out of their way to make sure everything is as good as it gets. The expectation is, however, that you try to use your best mechanics, rather than just lazily throwing something down and posting it. You aren't working 'real time' here: you have enough time to stop and read over what you've written to correct any glaring errors that crop up. Or, if you don't trust your proofreading skills, you can even paste what you've written into a word processor and run a spell and/or grammar check on it.

There are RPers that I simply will not write with, on the rare occasion that I stick my face in here as a writer. It's not because of their story lines or their characters. It's because they have sloppy mechanics, poor formatting, and no respect for the people who have to read it. Individuality and style are great things, but they should come out with the story and in the characters, not in the way you put the words in the post."

My apologies for putting so much OOC material into a thread. If you'd like to delete it, Princessa, feel free.

 

[Um_I_forgot]

Thanks for the lesson!

OOC: Will be sure to try and follow those rules.

After dealing with blade I decide to head to the local pub for a drink.
Shortly I meet my brother Luigi and we have a drinking contest.

*Slamming a shot glass on the table* "Thatsa seven, Mario. I think I've had enough" Luigi stumbles away.

I left the bar after last call and felt like a little "booty".
I went off to try and find Jessica Rabbit.

*Hiccups*
