RPG stands for Roleplaying Game. RPGs can be video games or LARP (Live Action Roleplay) or online. This one is online. Basically, you take the role of a person and write prose as them in posts on a forum. Take a look at some examples of sites in our Affiliates section.
In this RPG, there is a certain time we are in, and also a certain world. That is the world of the Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. We also incorporate the use of forums with that of blogs (online diaries).
Since the fanbase of the Uglies is not as large as, say, that of Harry Potter, we are not going to be so picky about RP-ers. However, I must be honest, if you can't spell, can't capitalize, and can't punctuate like that of at least a fifth grader, your possibility factor of being accepted will most likely be slim. But how would we know if you had no not the slightest idea of the Uglies or grammar usage? By you giving us a Sample RP. That is why it is in the application.
Like most RPs, we will roleplay in a forum atmosphere. That is, someone starts a thread, someone replies, others pop in when they feel the need to. Keep in mind that roleplaying does not mean a couple sentences. We want you to describe what is going on. It would be nice if you actually liked writing. As in, you do it as a hobby in your spare time, especially if you have no spare time and you just end up procrastinating on everything else to write.
Unlike most RPs, this RPG is also blog-based. That is, if you would like, your character can keep a journal. They will post, from their point of view, their problems and their everyday happenings. Your character does not have to have a blog. Your blogs don't have to be LiveJournal or anything, they can be a blog site hosted by me. If you're no good with graphics, contact someone that is. That's what the Avatar & Signature section is for. If you still don't understand the idea of blogs, maybe the What are blogs? section will help.
