I gave the guide a read over, and I'll be honest, I think it'd do more harm than good for a new roleplayer.


But at the same time...

All this bla about something nobody even uses. Rofl.


But honestly, there's so many passive aggressive remarks hidden in the guide that show your opinion on certain matters. Its actually kind of sad. The guide should be from a neutral stand point, where you are just giving information, not trying to tell people what to do and what's "trendy" or not.

A few suggestions/notes:

Sometimes { } are used for speech devices like commorbs, not just [[ ]]. That might be worth adding in.

For ~thoughts~, you might want to add a note that telepathic characters (Lunars or other advanced mages) can generally read these surface-level thoughts.

I'm not quite sure if I agree on your interpretation of lorebreaking/lorebending, but it's an iffy area that I'll steer clear of.

On the 2nd page, posts 3 and 4 (or 4 and 5, if we count that blocked post), the last paragraph of each of those posts are exactly the same. Not sure if that's a mistake or not, but it's definitely unnecessary.

And then there's the Trends section. Uh, I'm not sure if trends is the right word -- they're sort of rookie mistakes? Idk. I definitely agree that these are overdone among new RPers, but I wouldn't call them trends.
Mods pls notice me

1. Ah yes, it used be { *, but when Jagex changed the chatbox font a few months ago, those become virtually indistinguishable from ( ). Hence the change.

2. Good idea!

3. If it isn't iffy enough for you to not mention at all, it isn't iffy enough to talk about!

4. Yes, intended.

5. I can re-name, sure.

I'm not sure how possible it would be but servers that were named Roleplay or something like that would be nice. But even if that didn't happen IG roleplay would be very fun I believe. All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. - Winston Churchill
