SkyyoBee 249 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Usually OOC mistkes are fixed with a simple ((*mistakes But if one were to turn this grammatical error into an IC event- unique and entertaining roleplay is instantly formed. Example one- Player one: “How do ‘ye do? Me’ name is Frank.”Player two: “Howdy, would you like to purchase a cattot?”((Here, player two obviously pressed the ‘t’ key instead of the ‘r’ key.))Player two coughs abruptly, his voice caught in his throat. “Carrots, my good man. I’m getting old!” See here how this simple mistake spurred roleplay, it could also have created some kind of ‘inside joke’ between the two characters, possibly forming a friendship and creating more roleplay. Example two- Player one: “Mark! Get over here!” his arm flails in the air as he Mark him over.Player two: “What is it, Damen? What do you want?”Player one: “Please don’t kill.” He shakes his head. Player two’s eyes widen. “Who would I kill?” In this roleplay, player one meant to say ‘kill time’ but OOCly forgot the ‘time,’ which instantly sparks interesting roleplay. Example three- Player one: “I’ve never seen you around before, what’s your nam?”((Player one typed ‘name’ incorrectly))Player two: “You say the word ‘name’ in a very funny way, sir. Is it your accent? And I’m Ryar.”A conversation could instantly start here about player one’s accent, creating more roleplay. On another note, larger scale OOC events can be turned into a RP event- such as a group of people leaving the server- something that happened fairly recently. Using this as an example, in these circumstances roleplay can be created through turning the OOC situation into something IC, such as a plague or genocide. The truth to the matter is that people do mess up. People stutter, people miss words, people pronounce things incorrectly, people don’t always speak perfectly, and this is the same as roleplayers- which translates perfectly if one uses their mistakes within roleplay. Next time you make a mistake ingame, think about correcting it in roleplay, not OOC. Not only does doing this make you look professional and unique, it makes you look much better than how you would have looked if you simply fixed it OOCly. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelaneyG 1279 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I once was holding shift on the edge of a 2 story building as a child. I accidentally let go. I then rp'd with two broken legs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGreenJellyBean 6 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Nice guide. I'll be sure to bring things like this into roleplay more often. I usually just see people correcting the things in L-OOC. Hopefully this'll promote more IC things~. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
