WhiteGuardian 168 January 13, 2014 Share January 13, 2014 I hope this is not a dumb question, but just out of curiosity, what do you like in a good roleplay? You can either despair that a rosebush has thorns, or rejoice that a thornbush has roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 January 13, 2014 Share January 13, 2014 1. Plotline - a well crafted plotline that involves EVERYPONY 2. Organization - with a well crafted plot, comes organization within the RP. 3. Pacing - not too fast, not to slow, just right. That should cover everything. You can always check the FAQ for roleplaying if you need anything else. 1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stary Dreams 87 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 I especially like a good plotline in my roleplays, good pace, well developed characters, absolutely NO Mary-sues -_-, And the spotlight shining on all the characters 1 "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

Stormbringer 346 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 Pretty much the same as above. I hate mary-sues. I dislike overpowered characters that escape out of a set death for them. There's death from the beginning, to the end of time. And I'm the Cosmic Champion, and I hold a mystic sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteGuardian 168 January 14, 2014 Author Share January 14, 2014 I guess since I asked I might as wel answer my own question. I love a few things. I like both simple and complex roleplays so the things that I really like are 1. Romance (I'm a hopeless romantic at heart) 2. A sprinkling of tragedy mingled with suspense and mystery with a good climax 3. A little bit of heartbreak 4. A not so perfect ending (it can be a mostly happy ending but not perfect. There needs to be some downsides to the ending but not depressing.) I cant think of anything else off the top of my head but I'm sure there is more. Pretty much the same as above. I hate mary-sues. I dislike overpowered characters that escape out of a set death for them. I agree. Although I dont mind if the character has powers as long as there is sacrifice and hardship involved. Just because a character has power doesnt mean they shoulnt have to fight tooth and nail for the victory. You can either despair that a rosebush has thorns, or rejoice that a thornbush has roses.

Starshine 16,333 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 A charismatic and good DM is a very important factor to make a good roleplay. Also, everyone will have to have a decent spelling and grammars, and a good concept of a character that doesn't involve whatever cool things they can come up with. Roleplaying with a mary-sue is a big downer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 I think the pacing and a good concept are things that I like in a good roleplay, that's what I look for in a good roleplay that keeps the pacing going very smoothly.

WhiteGuardian 168 January 14, 2014 Author Share January 14, 2014 Well I guess my OC's would be excluded then haha. You can either despair that a rosebush has thorns, or rejoice that a thornbush has roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 Well I guess my OC's would be excluded then haha. Alicorn OCs can be good for roleplaying, as long as you don't spend all of your time trying to hog the limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'aiq the Liar 5,804 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 Well, for me atleast the good ones involve a very healthy dose of realism (ex if you take 5 5.56 rounds to the chest, and you are a pony, and quadrupeds organs are all located in the frontal cavity that I just filled with 5.56 NATO, that you die). Also I dislike marry sues, and people who act un-realistically to adverse actions (ex. the god of chaos himself shows up, and your OC not only knows him, his weakness but also how to summon Khorn to fight him) 1 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteGuardian 168 January 14, 2014 Author Share January 14, 2014 Alicorn OCs can be good for roleplaying, as long as you don't spend all of your time trying to hog the limelight You gotta point, but my alicorn OC isnt much of a problem. Shes probably not much more powerful than Celestia. But my own mane 6 each have the power to control one of the elements of nature such as fire, water, air, etc. Although I will say they are not at all invincinble. They have weaknesses. Especially if the are not working together. You can either despair that a rosebush has thorns, or rejoice that a thornbush has roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
