if you follow the "show, don't tell" rule in roleplay how do you incorporate it? im trying to incorporate it into my own roleplay but im having a bit of trouble lol

@ydegirl I hope what I provide may be more helpful & directly related to your question now that you've given me an example:
You need to always bear in mind that, as a player/gamer, you are the only one who inherently has access to "the mind" of the character you are playing. You are telling too much if you are expressing thoughts in your emotes. Emotions and the expression of those emotions are another area where one can go a long way showing, not telling. In the narrative form that LotC has by way of 'character' dialogue & emotes, describing the corresponding body language, facial expressions, and other visual cues of the emotion would be appropriately showing, not telling.
Example based on what you gave: "Wow, here is some text," she said as her eyebrows raised. Her lips curled into a smile.
This example neither describes your character's thoughts (or act of thinking) nor does it make a direct reference to the emotion. The body language & facial expression does the lifting here.
Another example: Mahpiya taps his forefinger against his chin and let out an audible oh.
This example once again lets body language & facial expression do the heavy lifting. Even without context, one can probably infer that Mahpiya is expressing either confusion, interest, or wonder.
I do think that, generally speaking, injecting adjectives to the body language, facial expression, & other visual cues are fine as it is usually done to help the reader solidly "categorize" what emotion, intention, or thought the player means to convey through their character.

Honest Question:
How do people RP Astronomy/Astrology within the server?
I've really really been wanting to dwell into that and any RP it might potentially give way to, but with the lore not really giving much concrete material to work without the need of any magic, I am not sure where to start...-
@AgyLink up with me if you want, my Discord is ibnkhaldun8, we can explore some ways to get started on an astronomy/astrology concept.

for those of you that wanted to know about the results of the report, there were no bans. every single person (everyone, including myself) was just given a warning.
it's odd seeing the lack of transparency from moderation on the verdict of a public report, and disappointing that despite the amount of evidence, the verdict is just a blanket warning-
@DiogenCome build Thunder Bluff with me together. Ping me on Discord mate.

I fully support putting the inappropriate behavior, dare I say, addict's mannerisms, on blast in Public Ban Reports. I genuinely hope that any other nation leaders (and their right-hand men/women) whose behavior mirrors the symptoms exhibited in said screenshots find the will in themselves to take a break from the server and pass the reins on to someone else in their stead. Don't stress if your pixel kingdom falls apart, your health and your behavior is of greater import than the "health" of a make-believe entity on the Minecraft platform.

@TeawithFrisketI'm going to be charitable in interpreting your reply instead of thinking you are being purposely obtuse by asking me a question clearly answered by my statement itself. Yes, I am okay with people being publicly shamed specifically in two regards: a. When you partake in ERP & b. When you choose to lose yourself to this darned video game to the point where you are calling people retards over inane "nation RP" politics.

Hugh respect to @Diogen for the report. Lotc culture is absurdly ooc. The fact that people are getting torn into just for sending birds to my character is absurd.
I hope mods actually hand out some month+ bans for this behaviour.
Everyone whines about 'toxicity' but being called a mean name is far less egregious than the snarky passive aggressive back biting that has become ubiquitous on LOTC. -
Considering Orcs are a fairly active nation and all the other nations get GMs I feel that we are entitled to one (1) orcish gm

Let people stand on business when disputing realm applications. Stop reporting posts that are simply disputing realm applications and ask for their proof to their claims instead.

For those who are impressed by the brilliance of their stupidity on the forums, I'm willing to teach you either how to play American football to have another outlet to expend your energy or I'll teach you Arabic so you can have a gainful skill to get you off here.

If you get punched in the mouth and have a bruise, does it make sense to tell the next person you walk up to that there is in fact no bruise where you were punched when visibly it is there?

@NotEvilAtAllI'm nowhere near concerned enough with the server to necessitate my posts having an undertone or reference to something going on on the server. Basic rational posts like mine are just that - basic rational posts.
