Hey guys. Local admindork here.

So, Willow has just brought an interesting proposal for the ever so requested roleplaying on here. Before I get into that, let me explain what roleplay is for anyone on here who might not know what it is.

Urban Dictionary (ever so credible) defines roleplay as: ''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. ''

So, say I were roleplaying Jesse. I would do something like:

''Jesse sits on his bed, his hair still messy from the helmet from practice earlier. He types the word 'interesting' into Google, unsure of whether he's spelling it correctly as he types out a message to a weird website he found that seems to document his and his classmates' lives. He's not spelling it correctly, and finds out there's no 'Q' in 'interesting'. Embarrassed, he deletes his misspelling and retypes the word.''

Then, someone would write something similar with their character responding. I.e.: ''Michael the Admin walks in and sees Jesse, confused at Jesse's claim that there are no 'Q's in 'interesting'. He argues this, because he is a poophead''.

I hope that clears things up lol.

Anyway. Willow's idea is we create a forum board specifically for this. Then within the board, topics are posted. I.e., "Prom". Following then, we roleplay our characters in the prom setting.

It's still an idea to work with right now, so if anyone has any suggestions to this, please comment below!
