Use this thread as an example and/or template for your posts when you role-play in this board. You are always free to use your own formatting, of course, but new players might find it useful to start here. Check the comments for formatting examples and the code required to use them, and please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!Misc Formatting Tips
Due to the character limit, comments posted in this forum category (and only this forum category) will not be held to the "no double posting" rule. You can use this to split up scenes if necessary, and it might make it easier to visually jump around locations in the story. Please do not abuse this, and only break a comment across multiple posts where necessary. If your comment is too long to post, consider whether or not you should be hogging that much of the story to yourself before breaking it apart. Abusers of this rule may have their posts deleted by the mods, so please follow them. Also, please try not to put any negative or rude comments, as RP threads are made for everyone to have fun and you do not have to participate if you want.If you want to section-off a part of your story, you can place a horizontal rule across the page by typing a series of at least five hyphens in a row.
-----Sometimes you need extra spacing between two sprites or perhaps between a sprite and some text and no matter how much you try to add spaces through the editor they always get collapses back to one space. In these instances, it's helpful to use the tab space. With it you can easily separate objects and text with as much spacing as you need.
[tab]If you want to align your text to the left or right side of the page, you can use the align code below. This makes it easier for your audience to read and helps to give a sense of a character's physical relationship to others in the same scene.
[align-left]left aligned text[/align-left]
[align-center]center aligned text[/align-center]
[align-right]right aligned text[/align-right]
When writing dialog, it's helpful to include a mugshot of the character that's talking. You can combine the player/robot/mecha tag with any of the type tags for a neat inline effect. Using the above alignment code, you can easily achieve a really nice looking narrative.
[align-left][[robot]{ice-man} : There's something dangerous up ahead, sir!]{freeze}[/align-left]
: There's something dangerous up ahead, sir!
In addition to dialog, you can easily set up "scenes" using the background and foreground formatting tags together with player, robot, mecha, ability, and even item sprites. All you need to do is put your sprites in a foreground tag, then put that inside a background tag. Spacers can be used to add more distance between characters, and sprite frames and directions can easily be tweaked with some code.
UPDATE 2015/06/06 : In preparation for the new update, alts have been added for many characters. Among them are the "Darkness" alts, shown below. Please enjoy using them in the community until the update comes out! :)

...I'd take happy Labor Day or something, but whatever. BTW, do you mind if I try to tackle 2 in one? I also have an idea of a roleplay with just battles.

Alright everyone, the first batch of alts are complete! Check my leaderboard profile to see all the different options are present, and remember that these are for forum posts only right now and do not appear in the game (yet). So yeah, feel free to give them their own personalities and backstories if you want and please please share. :)

Hey, Adrian! If we're getting some fancy-schmancy alternate palettes for the Robot Masters, why not have a set of palettes for the Robot Masters' Enraged palettes from Rockman 4 Minus Infinity? It's a very famous ROM hack, and I'm sure the people who recognize them will get a kick out of them. I even came prepared with possible palette examples...
And there's a little bit of flair on them because this is MMRPG, of course. Two palettes for Toad because I'm not sure which looks better. And, I admit it, I cheated on Pharaoh-Man...but I wasn't a big fan of how the white mask looked on him and all. Could be altered back if it really needs to, I suppose.
@CHAOS_FANTAZY : I feel we would need to ask permission first to use those sprites. After all, it isn't fair to take someone's work for their fan-game without their permission.
They're not his sprites, though; they're MMRPG's sprites given new colors. From my experiences working with these sorts of creators in the past, they're more honored than anything to have their game featured (As long as they get credit, of course). Even then, hard to really claim ownership on a recolor.
And don't get me started on how hard it is to communicate to Japanese developers...
Hello there, I'd like to ask all the RPers here a question.
Would anyone here disagree if my RP were to be stickyed? I know I sound a bit egotistic here, but that thread has ALMOST 3000 views, and it's not on the front page of the RP section. It just sounds a bit weird to me, and I hope I'm justified in thinking this. Hate it or not, it is a very popular RP thread, and it is the one that[I assume] started this whole section.
Note: If it were stickyed, it'd be a different color from these stickyed threads. That would be to distinguish it from the ones that are more "Formatting Help" type threads.
