Define a good role player.

[Krueger]

A good RPer is the guy who writes long /me's with no sense and very hard words.. impossible to understand..

[ChasKa]

Your question is interesting.
First,define "roleplay",means to act as a character.
So different character have different styles.
In my opinion,Shoot the one who is too deserved a bullet in his butt instead of trash talking too much with him,help the one who are actually in needed instead of talking too much.

General speaking,be yourself,reflect the true self,I used to use chinese phrases and background when roleplaying a gangsters..do you think it is a good roleplayer?

Me

[Krueger]

Me

No, me  :rules:

[TheRock]

In my opinion, someone that uses imagintion in order to succeed on any RP of his/her, someone who is open to everybody and doesn't 'reject' of some players just because they are 'new' registered, a role model like Jcstodds.

Keys: Patience, Imagination & As well as friendly attitude.

The most important key to proper roleplay is to allow the other person an "out."

-Good communication skills
-Use of descriptive language
-Grammar and speaking style relative to their character
-Allows the other participants an out.
-Stay within realms that everyone involved agrees upon
-Keeps roleplay within the roleplay

A good role player is a player that can imagine and act out situations which are fun for everybody. Not everything can be finished with shooting/killing.

So far, all posts are interesting. I can not lie that people like Sauron, Chaska, Chucho and TheRock grabbed my interest. I might learn something.

Someone who knows how to place themselves in the role they desire to act out. (capability)
Someone who does not need all sorts of crutches to use their imaginations properly. (creativity)
Someone who can learn from their roleplays and apply the knowledge to the next one, making it progressively better. (cognition)
Someone who considers the other people involved in the roleplay, and not just themselves. (consideration)

And lastly, something important which many of our players have sadly forgotten...

Someone who can have good and honest fun with the others involved, regardless of their role in the server. (comradeship / sportsmanship)

The ability to act the role of the character you are playing as accurately as possible with the resources available.

[Chase]

Someone who plays for fun and interactivity, and does not judge / rate roleplay.
