How To: Roleplay! ^^

Hey Everyone! It’s Naraka Here!

Now, I’ve noticed, there are a few members here that either do not know how to roleplay, or haven’t been roleplaying for a period of time. Here is a small guideline I have come up with and have viewed and approved by other good roleplayers.
So Let’s Begin

Lesson One: Length

Ok, so many of you are thinking “Length has to do with everything” or “My post isn’t as long as his/hers, so it isn’t that good” Well, I’m just here to tell you all that length is not everything, now don’t just post one line, but a paragraph isn’t too bad. It is all about wording, grammar and good timing. The bottom line is "Quality not Quantity."

Good Post:

The Man measured his assets accordingly, remembering everything that he had trained for. Once he saw his opponent, he knew what he had to do. He looked upon him and calmly crouched down, preparing himself for an attack. He watched as the opponent quickly dashed towards him, studying the opponent’s every movement with his eyes firmly focused. He then quickly retaliated by diving straight to the side of the opponent, performing a smooth dodge roll and skidding back onto the ground. His right leg was stretched out and the left knee bent aand his right arm was placed firmly onto the ground. Quickly after he began to sweat drops of what seemed like endless water streams, he waited for a retaliation from the enemy.

Hmm, I think that is a very nice, descriptive and entertaining. Dontcha think? Now onto the “not so good” post:

He walked down the path to the village. He saw many people walking by him. He went onto the pesseage(passage) and kept moving towards some houses. He then saw his friend and waved. After that he went fishing with his fishing rod. He caught a fish and ate it. After that he walked back to the villagee and looked at the elder. He walked right passed him. He then went into his house. He layed on his bed and woke up. He got up and took a shower. Hours passed and he got out of the village
