I know how hard it is the get a good amount of Role Play to post. Some people find it hard to reach the amount we ask. So I have come up with the ‘7 Deadly Posting Rules’ aka ‘7DPR’
Below I have typed down the 7 Deadly Posting Rules. Each one of these I feel should be in a post when you make one. I know it will be hard to put them all in there so im not worrying about that like the Taste one that wont always be in a post because well unless your eating something new during each post then it wont work but the others will.
Feeling
Sight
Smell
Sound
Taste
Thought
Touch
If you don’t know what each of them mean [above] ill tell you now.
Feeling- What is your character feeling? Upset, Happy, Nerves, Frightened etc.
Sight- What can they see? Or What don’t they see? Buildings, Slayers, Demons etc..
Smell- What can they smell? Death, Food, Rotting yuckness etc..
Sound- What can your character hear? What did the last person say, what sounds are outside?
Taste- What can they taste? Bubbly gum, Food, Mud, Blood etc..
Thought- What is your character thinking? Always a good one.
Touch- What are they touching? What’s touching them?
So now you know what each of them mean. I will post a sample Role Play at the bottom after to show you how it would all come together.
This isn’t a fundamental rule [Not yet] its more of a unspoken rule. If you want to become a good Role Play then you will follow this rule. It will help you grow as a RP and also give the character your Role Playing with something to post back to. Its so straining when you can’t reply to something some one has posted because it was ie: to sort, didn’t make sense or just plain stupid.
Please go by the 7 Deadly Posting Rules. It will help everyone in the long run.

Sample:
'Tonight just couldn't have gotten any worst, well it could and probably still could. It isn't like the night is over yet, unlucky for me'
Buffy pulled her self up from the mud, that was now knotted into her hair and face and lets not forget mouth. 'Ew' she spat out the mud that was mixing with her blood which really just didn't taste all that nice in the slightest. It was well if she wasn't the one and only and could withstand alto of things, it would have made her barf but she didn't.
She wiped of the mud from her face as she got back to her feet. Her plat forms sinking into the muddy grassy ground as she got her bearings. Looking around for the vampire that had so wrongly threw her to the ground. He even made her break a nail.
The cold wind was blowing into her skin making her wish she had put on that jacket she decided to not wear out in case of ruining it fighting. But right now she didn't care she was cold, muddy and tired.
Her eyes scanned the darkened park. There was no sign of him, from what she could make in the darkness that wrapped itself around the park. All she could hear was the owls doing there hotting runtein and the odd car zooming past the park. Other then that it was empty and silent.
"Great, Giles is soo not going to be happy about this" Buffy huffed as she moved over to pick up her stake. Giles had been really riding her lately about her lackness to slayer. She had not long moved to Sunnydale and didn't want to be doing this. She came hear to get away from her slaying duties. But no, instead she has to carry on with them and end up becoming a out cast. She had only been at school a few months and already she’s an outcast. She felt like her life just couldn't get any better, which if you didn't get was sarcasm. She didn't understand how vampires could stand the taste of blood, the cooperness just didn't sit right with Buffy and no matter how many times she gets hit in the face and made to bleed she will not get used to it.
