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