Level One - Beginner Is this your first time roleplaying? Come here to learn the basics of making quality posts. After completing level one we suggest that you continue with the other levels. For assistance, just create a thread in this board with an example of your work.
Level Two - Layout Of Your Posts Posts consist of several sentences describing the feelings and thoughts of your character, as well as what it sees, hears, etc. Sometimes, if you are only focused on writing enough sentences, the post can become unorganized and it won't sound good. If you read your posts thinking this, then this is the level for you! Just create a thread with an example post and the teachers will assist you.
Level Three - The Use Of Roleplaying Terms Roleplaying terms are often used by members. The terms may be confusing at first, but with practice you will end up remembering what they all mean. Sometimes, though, members will use the terms too often, making their posts unpleasant and hard to read. This level will help you learn how to balance your use of roleplaying terms in your posts. In this board you will find a list of the terms. If you would like to enroll in this level, simply create a thread with an example of your posting.
