Types of RP
So I've been Roleplaying Online for a few years now and I must say I've developed a few favorite thread and RP types. I'd like to list them with a few notations and then solicit the community for feedback. After all, I'm always looking for new ways to explore the genre. Here goes,
[*]The Pick-Up PvP
[*]The Tourist
[*]The Board Meeting
[*]Dating
So yeah. There are a few RP types that I have grown to love. What are some of the reoccurring themes you see in your RP's? Any new ideas you can send my way? I'd mightily appreciate it. Lol.
Cheers!

- The School Days RP
Nothing says playing a Jedi Padawan like going to classes all day and pestering your Master for missions. This is easily my favorite type of RP. Especially when it's just one on one training. I could fill hundreds of threads with just adventures that happen inside a Jedi Temple right outside of a classroom. It is also a great way to start any new character.
[*]The Pick-Up PvP
- Nothing is more challenging than creating a new NFU and jumping right into an Open combat zone. Doing your best to survive every second with only your wits and your ammo can be a thrilling chase for that perfect expression of RP. Naturally, you lose a few characters here and there but it's always a learning experience. My second character on this site was born that way and that first combat scenario went on to define his Fleet Career. Another great way to start a new character if you're brave enough.
[*]The Tourist
- You know the type. Someone starts a mission and asks for people to tag along. So you volunteer a cheery type and wander off to a foreign planet in search of treasure and glory. Most of the time you and the group are just playing tourist until something crazy happens. I always use these threads to buy something. Spending fake money just feels good when traveling. Haha. Not to mention it challenges my description writing skills.
[*]The Board Meeting
- If you've ever been in IC leadership, you've probably done one of these. It's that rare situation when everyone is supposed to meet together IC and talk, or debate, or just listen to whatever the 'Fearless Leader of the Month' has to say. Most of the time you just sit and nod. Bow and nod. Or, well... Most of the time you just say 'Yeh' or 'Nay'. While I generally dislike this type of RP, I've done it so many times it feels natural now. They always need more protocol droids for these too.
[*]Dating
- Seen em', love em', hate em'. Nothing can spark a better friendship and story amongst characters than romance. Sadly, nothing can be weirder to write or more likely to blow up in your face. Like they say, you need to view a 1000 fish if you want to find a great catch. Luckily, every single date thread can be salvaged with a little improvisation, a magnificent location, and wonderful food. Or an explosion? It just depends.
So yeah. There are a few RP types that I have grown to love. What are some of the reoccurring themes you see in your RP's? Any new ideas you can send my way? I'd mightily appreciate it. Lol.
