  • Question
    Should I use a different name from my real life name?
    Community Answer
    You can use your real first name, but you definitely shouldn't use your full name, you don't want people online knowing who you really are.
  • Question
    Is online dating different from having a "lover" while roleplaying?
    Animebread
    Top Answerer
    Yes, it is, you aren't actually in a relationship and only roleplaying for fun.
  • Question
    How do I start roleplaying with people I don't know, if I'm shy?
    Community Answer
    Try inviting your friends into the game, or making up a game and, when you're confident enough, try getting involved with other people.
  • Question
    How can I get people to respond when I try to start a roleplay?

    Community Answer
    Try including others by mentioning their names. If that doesn't work, go up to people and ask if they want to play.
  • Question
    What if I don't know how to roleplay as my chosen character?
    Cosmofied
    Community Answer
    Roleplaying is about creativity; there is no "right" way to roleplay as someone. You should just go with it and see where it takes you. It tends to be more fun that way too.
  • Question
    Do I need a group of friends to roleplay?
    Community Answer
    No. On most roleplay games, you can just jump right in and people will roleplay with you.
  • Question
    What happens if a Fail Roleplayer comes into the server?
    Kerttu Kätiliis Lemsberg
    Community Answer
    Just ignore them and continue on with your role play! It shouldn't have any affect on you unless you let it.
  • Question
    Why do hashtags sometimes happen when I spell things wrong?
    NateMob1
    Community Answer
    ROBLOX's filtering system might think it's inappropriate and censor it by replacing the word with hashtags.
  • Question
    People on the Warrior Cats RP on Roblox always ask me for an "RP example." What is that, and how do I do it? Whenever I don't, people always call me a "noob" and don't include me in RPs.
    thatarisimmer
    Community Answer
    They want to see how good you can RP. Don't worry, they banned that now, so you can RP freely and not get ignored anymore.
  • Question
    Who should I role-play? I can't come up with any ideas.
    Community Answer
    You can create your own character to RP as if you're stuck for ideas. Have a look at sleetimania.wikia.com for some inspiration.
  • Question
    How to I input a roleplay name without having my username next to it in parenthesis?
    Cosmofied
    Community Answer
    You can't, unless the game you are on supports a roleplay name feature that not only changes your display name, but also masks your real username.
  • Question
    Is having a roleplay with a love triangle considered ODing? My friends and I have been wondering this for a while.
    Animebread
    Top Answerer
    No, it is not, as long as you keep the love triangle within the RP and not outside of it. If you aren't actually having any romantic relationships with them, it shouldn't be considered ODing, although people like to say it is.
  • Question
    What if the roleplay that I'm in gets out-of-hand?
    System of a Disturbed Linkin R.E.SoundKorn
    Community Answer
    This depends on the game. A decent roleplay game should have a staff team, and if a roleplay gets dangerously out of hand, the staff may force the group to separate until they calm down. In some roleplays, however, you must sort out any disagreements yourself.
  • Question
    What if the character I'm using gets boring when I'm in the middle of an RP?
    System of a Disturbed Linkin R.E.SoundKorn
    Community Answer
    You might be able to edit it a little. However, it's best to stay with the character and see it through until the end. Then, just be more selective with your character next time.
  • Question
    What do I do with players who tell everyone to play rp right?
    System of a Disturbed Linkin R.E.SoundKorn
    Community Answer
    Know-it-alls can be a pain. Just ignore them. Unless you're breaking any rules, there's no right or wrong way to roleplay. That's the great thing about roleplaying.
  • Question
    Is it a rule that I have to take damage on any RP games?
    Community Answer
    No, you don't have to take damage.
  • Question
    What should I do if I feel left out during a Roleplay on Roblox?
    Community Answer
    If you feel left out, consider starting a new Roleplay with a fresh idea. It can be just as fun and might attract others to join.
  • Question
    Should I use asterisks like this? "I have to go to school, see you later!" *I walk out the door.*
    Animebread
    Top Answerer
    It depends on the Roblox game you're playing; if you see others doing that, then it's fine. In most games, it is fine to do that.
  • Question
    I don't know how to get people onto my own roleplay. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Invite your friends onto the server. If you have Robux, the in-game currency, make a private server and invite all of your friends.
  • Question
    I like roleplaying on a game called RoCitizens, but whenever I join there are no actual roleplayers most of the time. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Maybe ask some of your friends to join you to roleplay. Or ask somebody if they would like to roleplay with you.
  • Question
    What if people avoid me on their Roleplay?
    TrEATedWithTacos
    Community Answer
    Either ask them why they are avoiding you, or just leave them. It's also possible that you didn't ask to be in their roleplay.
  • Question
    I don't feel confident or secure about asking people if I can join an RP because I've had people ask me that before and I felt annoyed at them. How can I join someone's RP without feeling bad?
    NeoNio
    Community Answer
    You can practice roleplaying with your friends or by yourself until you feel confident enough to ask someone to roleplay with you. And remember that it's not that big of a deal. The worst thing that could happen is they say no.
  • Question
    Is there a public RP?
    Animebread
    Top Answerer
    There are plenty of public roleplaying games and groups. You just have to search for games that say 'Roleplay' or 'RP', or groups dedicated to it.
  • Question
    What do I do if there is someone that is a different character than the RP theme (e.g. Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy's in a superhero RP)? They always ruin everything!
    System of a Disturbed Linkin R.E.SoundKorn
    Community Answer
    This is usually against the rules. The action to take depends on the game, however. Some games have staff that can warn or ban these people. In some games you have to just deal with it.
  • Question
    Why do numbers always tag?
    Community Answer
    Numbers tag because Roblox thinks that you might be giving out your phone number. It's for safety reasons. In some games you can cheat this by putting "Grade" in front of it; e.g. "Grade20 years have passed."
  • Question
    Would it be considered godmodding if I'm able to dodge most attacks?
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    Yes, that would be considered godmodding. Having good reflexes is a really good character strength, you can dodge sometimes and write that it's because of your character's good reflexes, and sometimes let your roleplay partner take a few hits as well, to keep things balanced.
  • Question
    What if I cant finish the roleplay?
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    Tell the other people you're roleplaying with that you're unable to keep going for whatever reason. A good partner will understand, and you can either put the roleplay on pause or come back to it later, find a way to end it for your characters, or just stop writing altogether.
  • Question
    Can you be mean in a roleplay? I mean it's roleplay... For example in a daycare center roleplay what happens if you say that's my toy or I am solo rich.
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    Yes, you can have a character that is mean in a roleplay! Just make sure the other people in the roleplay are aware that it's your character that is being rude, not you. Similarly, if someone else in your group has a mean character, you can dislike the character, but try not to dislike the person who the character belongs to.
  • Question
    How do I put more detail? My friends always say that I'm so "dry".
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    Some things you could try to do to add more detail to your writing is to describe the setting that your characters are in, and how it's changing as your characters play out the story. You can use the setting and how the characters interact with it to lead into some details about the characters themselves, or the world. You can also try and add some internal monologue with your character, saying what they are feeling during certain situations. Make sure that you're never just taking what someone else in the roleplay said and writing it in your own words -- always try and give everyone else in the roleplay something to go off of in your replies.
  • Question
    How do you deal with being overwhelmed? I've once gotten punched from 6 different angles and I couldn't stop all of them so I just had to let my character die.
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    It sounds like in this situation, the person you're roleplaying against is godmodding, which means that they're making their character extremely powerful. It isn't fair to you -- good partners will make sure the roleplay is balanced and that everyone and their characters are being treated equally.
