>Ok there are a few things I am
>changing or doing or whatnot that I'm going to tell
>you here. Once you have read this, please reply with a
>simple message saying "yes" or something so I know...
>this is also a sort of activity check.

>1. Ok, first of all, from now on when you type with
>html, can you please close it? Otherwise it messes the
>whole board up.
>
>2. I am taking away the section "mares we have lost"
>because its just depressing (lol). If a mare dies or
>gives cause of a loss, I'll bring it back, but instead
>I will be changing it to a new subject, which brings
>me to #3>>>

>3. That section will now be called "Roleplayers of the
>Month". Every month I'll pick a few of the best
>roleplayers in the harem, and they will get the honour
>of being up there. After the news I'm going to write a
>brief tutorial on how to improve your roleplaying, or
>rather, what I'm looking for. It's mostly to encourage
>good writing and extensive vocab. : )
>
>4. If you are active, there are 2 things that can
>happen to you. You may be moved up a rank, or you will
>stay as you are. If you are unactive, three things can
>happen. You may stay where you are, you may be moved
>lower in rank as others are placed above you, OR you
>will be placed under "other herd members". This is NOT
>a bad position! You are still a cherished member of
>the herd, but that way people who ARE active have a
>good chance of getting the rank they deserve. ^_^
>
>5. Pics? Gimme the link an' I'll put it up...

>Now for the quick roleplaying thing:
>
>Ok. What I am looking for in a
>good roleplayer, and what you can use to improve are a
>few basic things:

>- Vocab. There are so many words out there, why use
>dull ones? For neat words, a Thesarus comes in handy -
>most computers have them built in the word processor.
>There are also many words for simple things. 'Mare',
>for example. A mare could also be called a bruja,
>femme, femora, lorilie, etc! So look around, try and
>use the longer, weirder words when you can. It just
>sounds better. : )
>
>- Punctuation and Spelling. Capitals and so on are
>usually necessary, though some roleplaying style have
>unique ways of working, so it won't be perfect for
>everyone.
>
>- Length. Most good roleplayers post a long and
>detailed message, with vibrant, exagerated words,
>rather than short ones. It sounds better. ^_^
>
>- Overall, time. Take your time! Look up good words,
>take the time to change the font to a funky color or
>style, check your punctuation, etc. All in all, it's
>worth it, because once you're done its neat to know
>just how good you are. Plus, you'll most likely get
>roleplayer o' the month!
>
>That's about everything I have to say. Sorry if it
>sounded bossy... improving your writing is COMPLETELY
>your choice, and I just decided to give some pointers
>for those who are trying! ^_^
