Oh I see my apologies, I kind of put my characters thoughts in my post would you like me to change that?


No, no, it's fine. It's not forbidden, but just generally not done. We try to be open as a sandbox RP, but tend to find that expressing internal thoughts and desires through actions and expressions seems to be more immersive.

A couple things: Everything not in asterisks is assumed to be speech. You don't have to put character thoughts on there, since this is all as if it was recorded by devices. And it's not required, but we generally use one sentence for action symbols, though some occasionally use more. Our focus is entirely on interaction.


Well explained my friend.

If we can just keep it in first person, then it's fine. Just think about a small device or camera recording her actions and transcribing them—that's how it's formatted.

I am actually very surprised at myself for doing 3rd person because everyones been nagging at me that its confusing for them if I do it in first person, and I've had to keep apologizing to them. Thank you for letting me do 1st person :)

We're unlike most RPs you'll find.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Ah. So I was right when I made a snarky comment about it. Good good.


I don't see what you're implying.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We kept that after moving here? Ever since going to the guild I always saw it as more of a tv show than the devices thing.


No, no devices anymore, but the structure is the same.

I suppose the last thing to think about is how to structure her words to make them revealing, but not unnatural, and that we won't use OOC in the IC at all.

I decided to step through the portal. *steps through the portal* It was an eerie feeling going through it. When I got through to the other side I noticed it was so much colder. *starts shivering and looks around*


Allow me to further clarify the post style. We only record what the character is saying and what the character is doing--so in this case, your post would just be something like (and this is just a skimpy skeleton): *decides to step through the portal, finding that it's much colder and shivering as I look around*

Myriad Reality is all about adaptation. The posting style is the biggest hurdle to get over--if you can power through that, it'll be a lot easier to get adjusted.

Don't stress out about it; it takes more than a day to adapt to MR. The payoff is worth it, so we'll help you out every step of the way. Just don't take the direction as criticism.

With that enthusiasm, it won't take long.
For the record, I just made this. I'm the same as Nimda, Webmaster, Etcetera, etc. You get the idea.
