THIS SN IS MEANT TO BE A DATABASE FOR
RP LWUT PLAYERS!
What is role playing like we used to?
o It's telling a story with others.
o It's remembering that this is a stage, and here, you are its actor(ess).
o It's remembering that there are real people behind every character.
o It's not worrying about the age, sex, or orientation of the player.
--Some instances mun's should be of legal age and that is an acceptable expectation--
o It's focusing on the skills of "their" play.
o It's having respect.
o It's having fun.
o It's being helpful.
o It's being creative.
o It's playing, AKA not lurking.*
o It's knowing when to quit.

*Yes, I lurk a lot, please refer to the FAQ's.
Tips for better play:
1) Remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that you are
entitled not to agree with them.
2) Talk to the other player(s). Communication is the key. The computer cannot
convey emotions unless you make it blatant. Tell the other player(s) if
something makes you feel uncomfortable, or if you don't understand
something. If you communicate with the other player(s) than you'll have fewer
misunderstandings and happier gaming.
3) Ask for help, or offer it. What is there to lose?
4) Keep in mind that your idea of fun might not be everyone's.
This goes back to #'s 1&2.
5) Don't be afraid to let people know what you're looking for in your play.
This goes back to #'s 1&2.
6) Know and act your part well. Meaning to have at least a sound idea of how your character should and can be played and not act out of character. A little research and logic goes a long way.

FAQ's:
Q: Why did you make this SN, what is it you really do?
A: To be a central hub of RP LWUT players. I read profiles and watch the play of those who join the cause to ensure that this SN isn't being used as a popularity tool or an exposure tool. I read and answer e-mails individually, I aid in the starting of SLs including HTML coding, picture editing, etc, and when I have time I lead by example and play.
Q: Are you the creator of RP LWUT?
A: No, I am not. I expressed an interest in the idea to the creator who gave me permission to make this SN and this database of players. In return, I help out in any way I can as a third party. The creator of RP LWUT's name is Remmy and you can contact her on the SN "isector13l".
Q: Do you RP?
A: When I have time.
Q: On this SN?
A: Not any more.
Q: Why don't you RP on this SN anymore?
A: Because it seems some people are having a hard time keeping in mind that this SNs sole purpose is to be a database of RP LWUT players. Because of this, I do not RP on this SN anymore.
Q: What are your other SNs?
A: Currently I have two others and they are buddies of this SN. In an attempt to remain an objective party, I will NOT give out my other SNs.
Q: So, what brought this on?
A: Crappy RP, whiney mun's, lack of plot in SL's, lack of drive in SL's, and the dire hope that there are still good players out there on both sides of the role play realm.
Q: Is this like, RPLWUT and Gor RPLWUT?
A: Bingo. Only this way people can add this SN as a "buddy" and use it as a single location to find other players who are of the same mind-set in regards to playing like we used to.
More to add as they are asked.
Disclaimer:
Any and all IMs and E-mails are subject to posting (anonymously) on this profile. i.e. questions or suggestions.
If you see anyone who has RP LWUT Buddied and is NOT RPing in an RP LWUT fashion, please e-mail a copy of their play and their SN so that I may review it.
I do not want this SN to become a numbers and popularity circle. I designed it so that it may be a local resource for finding great, RP LWUT players.
Thank you.
