Hello everypony! It's been a while hasn't it? As you may or may not know I have officially stepped down from Roleplay Helpstaff for now, I might very well come back someday if allowed, but for now I figure I can now really focus on connecting with the community again! Now I feel I need to remind you that I am NOT Rph and therefore nothing I say is site law! However it is my personal experience, thoughts, and advice! So use as your own discretion! As always if you need aid with a character I'll
So I'm sure you'v seen the RPH around and have thought to yourself.. "HEY ! I can do that! " Well you'd be right! In fact helping other people with their applications is how a lot of the RPH that are in work today have THEIR jobs, I myself started out helping out with applications, with the sheer desire to help this site's users expand their work, and to do the very best that they can. However one should be sure to do this job for the right reason, if you get some glee out of tearing someone's a
What metagaming is and why it is harmful to a roleplay for all parties. First off you might be confused if you've never heard the term “Metagaming” before! It’s a term that mostly refers to tabletop rpgs but it translates equally for the written style of roleplay as well, it means when a character knows knowledge that is merely thought by another player or in the case of tabletop rpgs being aware of the Dungeon masters plans. For example if your character is suddenly very huffy and angry becau
The recent slew of Godmoding in NMN has really brought this issue to my attention! So tonight folks we are going to talk about Godmoding/OPing and why you shouldn't do it . It's /RUDE/! Who do you think you are by deciding someone isn't doing an action you want them to, and then forcing them to do it instead? No, don't do it, not even for the sake of "The story" unless you get PERMISSION. Example: "HEY COME HERE!" I called at Fluttershy, and then Fluttershy came over blushing" No, if it is

Hello one and all! Today I am going to talk about a aspect of WOE rp that most probably don't realize is a part of it! Just as much as character development, appearance, and species! That would be of course the Roleplay HelpStaff! Both us RPH and the Senior Rph! Now I know the frustration of finishing an application and sitting there, waiting, itching to dive nose first into the WOE boards and rp my heart out! It is aggravating to just sit and wait and wait! I fully understand this as I had
Hello all! Welcome once again to my blog! I apologize for not posting an article for so long but Rph duties do come first nowadays! The subject of today's entry is about a trope that I am sure MOST of us have seen (and rolled our eyes at) in the Application Forum! I personally call it a symptom of Special SnowflakeItus (Note to self write blog about SnowFlakes later) Yes you know them, you hate them! It's the Tragedy and ANGST characters! Walking a lonely isolated road paved with dead pare

Hello and welcome to the first ever Guide to Rping and Character Creation post! Now I bet you are wondering. "Gee QuickLime what gives you the authority to pass yourself as some all knowing Rp guru ?" First off, that's rude and your mother would be ashamed! Second off, I will state right now that I have ZERO Authority on anything, that lies with the Canterlot RPHS (Roleplay Helpstaff) and that if you have any serious rp issues you should contact them SO let's roll up our sleeves and belly
