    How can I end a roleplay without sounding rude?

    Just say "Do you mind if we end the roleplay? I have something urgent to do." You can also set up a code word before you begin roleplaying that either of you can say to signal the need to end.

    What are some RP tips?
    Community Answer
    Whenever you perform an action, never decide how another role-player is effected: for example, "Devon will slash his machete into Jamaila rapidly, and Jamaila will collapse and die". Let the other role-player decide how it affects him or her. If you're deciding how someone's action affects you, be fair. Another tip is to try and avoid performing multiple actions in one turn or move.

    Tell them that they are invading a personal closed roleplay and politely ask them to leave. If they continue, block or redline them. If they persist, contact the admin or moderator of whatever site you are using, or consider moving to a different place.

    How do I start a relationship between characters in text-based roleplay on Discord? Do I send the other person a private message asking, hint it out in the roleplay, or something else?

    It honestly depends on what you want to do. If you'd like to try to hint at it and see what happens, then go for it. If the other person isn't getting the picture or seems to reject your advances, then you can try messaging and asking if it would be okay for your characters to start a relationship.
