What is Roleplaying?
Definition copied directly from the Urban Dictionary
" (v.) To act and speak as if you are the character you're portraying. To roleplay is as much about what not to say as what TO say. It means to keep your speech in the context of the setting in which your character (or avatar) exists. Context can be defined as both time and place.
Most roleplaying that occurs is in an online setting, such as an online game, a chat room, or a message board. "
The types of Roleplaying:
- Casual: These kind of roleplays is where anyone can just take part in.These usual don't need a signup.So if you see a roleplay that you are interested in that has "Casual" in the title feel free to post in it.
- Advanced/Serious: These are the more complicated roleplays.Sentence structure and grammar is highly needed and these are usually in no less then one paragraph in length.Usually signups and approval is needed in order to take part in them.
- Mature: As the name says these are mature content roleplays.Mature content is sexual or graphic violence in nature.If you are underage I recommend for you not to take part in these.
- Closed: These require signups and approval before you are allowed to join.
- Sparring: This revolves battles, mostly it's one on one, but it can be groups vs. groups or even one vs. groups. It's a battle and sometimes an observer is selected to determine the outcome of it. If no observer is available and the participants needs someone to determine the outcome a RPN mod will take this role.
Rules

Assistants
Assistants help the section's Moderators to come up with ideas to help better the section as a whole:help increase the section's overall activity, help pin point infractions to the Moderators. Assistants are just as important as the Moderators but without all the responsibilities. Assistants need to be actively posting in RPN every week, there is no minimum requirement. If they don't just like moderators they will go on probation unless the Head Moderator has been informed, in which case three weeks will be allowed before they will be placed on probation anyways. After three weeks on probation an Assistant will be removed. If you are removed you can always sign up again when you have time again.
If you are interested in becoming an Assistant you can post your interest in this thread or message @Lord Myne.
If you have any questions, feel free to do post those in this thread too.
