Updated! Rpg Fit! 01-08-10 Task!


ExoFat

474 views

The cut off time for the Haiku task has been adjusted! You no longer have to do it until the end of the week! If you started on Friday, you can end now. Add one day to the cut off (up until Wednesday) for each day after Friday that you started!

 

Welcome one and all to the second session of RPG Fit! Today's date is January 8th, 2010. We're a little late in coming, but that's all good. :P

For a while, this program will be split between those who know how to play and those who have no idea how to play an RPG. If you have not signed up, please post here. That post also contains a list of every task covered so far if you want to look back on things. Now, moving on.

 

For Those Completely New to RPGs

Refer back to previous tasks to understand the basics of RPGs.

 

Now that you have successfully joined and started RPing in a game, you'll want to beef up your writing and your characters. Your task is to RP each post with 250 words each for a whole week. That can seem daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it soon enough and by Wednesday, it will be a cakewalk.

 

For Veteran RPers

 

01-08-10: You are to have every post, with at least two characters, contain at least one haiku (five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables) until the next task appears (approximately 4-5 days from now). The amount of haiku in your post is determined by how many other sentences you have. For every ten sentences of text, you will add one haiku. So, a post with 1-9 sentences would have one haiku, and a post with 11-19 sentences would have two etc. etc.

 

Example of haiku:

Like this for one thing.

Take it as an example.

It is quite odd, though.

 

The purpose of this is to strain your creative thinking. When you have a boundary such as a haiku, you must be more creative with your words in order to express the same things. I recommend inserting the haiku when describing your character's emotions or surroundings.

 

NOTE- If you find the Veteran Task too hard for you, you can always switch to the Newbie Task.

 

Chop chop!

Ack. I hate haikus. I only had an in-post poem once, in Abyss, and it took up almost all my time on the computer.

 

Oh well. If I'm lucky, no one will talk to my character. Why couldn't it be limericks? Limericks are fun.

Interesting task. I'll be onto it immediately. It is now 9:30 PM EST, and I shall end the task at the identical time of the final evening of it. :D

I MEAN WHAT IS THIS, LEARNING TO RP OR POETICIZE

There once was a Munki named man,

Who was part of an RPer clan.

Haikus made him glum,

because the whole thing was dumb,

so he gave up and Vorox are tan.

 

LIMERICKS FTW! You may also notice I ran out of ideas for the last line. :P

I'd like to raise the point, be it out of jealousy, envy, or my duty as a fellow RPG Fit-er, but SK may have spent so much time on making haikus for the sake of making haikus that he has been unable to fulfill his duty as the administrator of Requiem.

 

On that topic, SK, when will whats-his-face, the guy with Lieft, start pulling those strings so that the RMED allow Lieft to get out of the car and walk into the fricken scientists house/lab?

Agreed.

 

Whether or not you can write poetry has almost nothing to do with RPing IMO. You can be a creative, descriptive writer without using poems. ;)

The point isn't just making haikus. Its fitting a haiku into your character(s) specific situations.

Which is a test of your haiku-writing abilities really, not your RPing skills

No. The point was to test how much you can express with a limited amount of words and syllables. And it wasn't very hard to have haiku; only one every ten sentences.

I interpreted it as the ability to make something so plainly simple, but indirectly described, as to poke fun at readers and also to add complexity to what you're actually trying to get across to the readers.
