HTML Basics
To change colors: < font color=(insert color name here) > To change sizes: < font size="(insert font size here)"> Bold, Italics, and Underline: These are quite simple. For bold, just use < b > and remove the spaces. It's the same thing with italics except it looks like this < i >, without the spaces of course. To underline use this < u > and you will be able to underline what you want. If you want to just use bold, italics, or underline on a certain part of your RP, then use any of these commands that applies to what you used, without spaces of course. < /b >, < /i >, < /u >.
That's the basic stuff you need to know for an RP, if you have any questions about advanced HTML, email me (the CEO) or the owner and we'll do our best to help you.
Some Advanced HTML
If you cannot get your RP to post, and you have someplace else on the internet that you can post it at, then you might find this useful:
To add a link: < a href="URL" > < a href="URL" >Click here to read RP< /a >
To add a marquee: < marquee > The result is:
RolePlay Tips
There are a lot of different things that make your RP's good. Anything from length to what you "talk" about, it all has an effect on the quality of your RP. Here are a few tips:
1. Try to describe in detail the setting. Rather than just: The scene opens in a bar Joe Jobbernoski is sitting there. Try to do this: The scene opens in a bar. The jukebox is blaring through the smoke-filled air and Joe Jobbernoski is seen sitting on one of the bar stools. The camera shoves its way through the crowd and approaches Joe. He looks into the camera, then takes a drink, and begins to speak. Notice the difference?
2. Which one is makes a better statement:
3. Now rather than just coming out and saying "I'm going to kick your ass" and insulting your opponent in 72 different ways, try to dig up the dirt on your opponent and use it against him or her. Here are some examples of what can be used:
And that's how you can improve your RP's. Whether you learned something or not is up to you. And remember, this page will always be here for referance!
Now, remove the spaces between the left and right carrots (<,>) and and the "font color" and insert a color name (or hexidecimal #), so your finished product looks something like this:
I changed the color.
Remove the spaces and you should get this:
I changed the font size. Font sizes, at least on the boards, range from 1 to 7.
HTML commands must be entered individually. You cannot do something like this < biu > and expect to get this.
Remove the spaces and you get this:

Once you have gotten the link command typed, you'd want to add something like "Click here to read RP" or whatever. After you've completed the link, use < /a > to end the link so you don't make one huge link. So your finished product looks like this, without the spaces of course:
That's how to add a link.
The ending command for a marquee is < /marquee > Like everything else, remove the spaces.
I'm going to kick your ass.

Lou Zer, you have GOT to be insane if you think you can beat me! I mean, somebody of your status could not possibly be at my level! I will destroy you and that's all there is to it! Try to understand this, Lou Zer, because to say that you are better than me is one of the biggest jokes on the planet!
You be the judge.
