role play?

//i'm not sure if this should exactly belong here, but considering the role play section is for role playing. . . this seemed like the best place (:

Yes, I've role played before. Not the best, but not the worst.
But. . . i've noticed that around here, you guys who role play seem to not only control yourself ((or your character)), but as well, other people/characters.
I've learned to role play in such a manner of which you create one ((or more)) character/s to use during the role play, and interact among the other character/s. Only controling the character/s you create/use/own. Whereas here, it seems that you ((we, us, whomever xP)) freely control whomever's character.

I don't exactly get it.
It's not how I learned, and it's a tad confusing. I'm just unsure on what to do, really XD

I learned to RP on AOL, where you only controlled your character, and you based what you do off of what others did.  You did not say what they did, then what you do.  Only your own character's actions.  It's why I don't try to get involved in the RP on these forums, the way they do it is so not how I learned to do it.  it doesn't make any sense to me.

^ I RP just like you two. I only control my own characters and then the others do their own characters.

I makes no sense to me either, which is why I haven't joined any :/

Uhh, i'd be to blame here *cough cough*.

Being the one who introduced RP, I didn't actually remind people to not control other characters. While I was at school, others would post (because of time-zone differences) and I wouldn't be active and there to moderate the RP. It was too late to change it.

Controlling other  players also has an advantage though, on these forums. Some members (uhh, kinda like myself) are the youth and it's difficult and makes others impatient while they wait for someone to make a REALLY long post, as they control themselves.

So I dunno. You could make your own RP (the people above) and say the rules are to only control your ownn characters, but i'm sure losts of people wouldn't sign up, 'cause most RPers were introduced to RP here, and think this is the way it's done.

I didn't know what a RP was, until I did the Town of Disturbia RP.

I started off kinda bad, but then I got way better.

I just love RP'ing! :DDDD
