What can turn an average RP into a noticeable one? Presentation, baby. This thread is here to help you conquer the horrible world of “tags” and “stuff” and make sure you use your fingers prettier than a $20 wh…you get the drift, YOU’LL BE PURE DEAD GOOD! So listen up.
The basis of a roleplay is obviously an idea, something creative or just the desire to lay the smackethdown on someone’s candy-ass. I can appreciate there will be a few people who only sign up to play fair and fun matches but 1 roleplay a week to promote your match on the card will make a lot of difference to the way people perceive you, consider it manners or etiquette.
TAGS
First off, I'll use color as my main example:
Raven: Quote the raven nevermore.....
By highlighting the words you want to be colored and using the colors drop down menu.
You get this:
Raven: Quote the raven nevermore.....
That [/color] thing added to your text is a tag. It's coding that changes the colour to whatever you desire and there's plenty other tags to mess with.
Bold ([*b] [/b])
Raven: Quote the raven nevermore.....
Italics ([*i] [/i])
Raven: Quote the raven nevermore.....
Underline ([*u] [/u])
Raven: Quote the raven nevermore.....
Along with things like strikethrough! (strikethrough), fonts, etc...Glow and Shadow I have never used before. Experiment with this lot first.
-------------------------
Find out what works best for you.
Changing text size can come in handy, it obviously emphasizes shouting "Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!" (like Khali) or "OOOOOOGUHUHUH!!!!" (like Umaga). Also if you're a shy, timid thing/want to say something under your breath like
"YES! Mr. McMahon! ...god, this guys an asshole!" then use a smaller text size.
(Tags [*size=2] [/size])
Ok, so the text size tag you do just the same as the others we've been through but there is one small difference. The tag doesn't have a drop down menu asking you what size you want but it just assumes you'll know to change that number 2 to the size you wish. This may be your first time editing tags so just be careful you don't delete any other character from the tag.
Basically all I have to say is change that 2 into a 1 (smallest) up to a 7 (largest) depending on what effect you want.
