"What's an ORP? How long is a Star-Cycle?? What is a lur' and a 'lim? Help???!" Are you asking yourself these questions? Well, you might need a language guide. Don't worry, we have one here! You can use this whenever, if you're confused or new to RP'ing. :D ----------------------- [[GENERAL RP TERMS]] RP - Roleplay. This entire game. :] ORP - Open RP. Anyone can join the thread and start RP'ing! CRP - Closed RP. Only the person listed can join the thread. SRP - Self RP. The user is just RP'ing with themselves, and nobody can join. IRP - In-RP. Things that happen in the Roleplay. ERP - End RP. The RP thread has ended. Not always used. OORP - Out of RP. Talking to the users behind the characters, and not always related. NT - New Thread. The previous thread got too long, so the RP'ers are continuing there. FCFS - First Come, First Serve. This is for litters- The first person to claim a kit gets the kit. SS - Semi-Selective. This is for litters- People must apply to get a kit, but the host is pretty chill and will probably accept you easily. [[SILVER SUN SPECIFIC]] Lur' / 'Lim - Shortened nicknames for the lurlim species. Star-cycle(s) - About a year or month IRP, it doesn't really matter, but it's about a week OORP, to keep the game running. Lurian - The language lurlims speak. Some RP'ers are lazy and will shorten this to [L] when switching between languages. Common - A shared language multiple species speak. Some RP'ers are lazy and will shorten this to [C] when switching between languages. The Council - The group of 8-12 lurlims in charge of a village or town. [[OTHER / PROJECTS]] WIP - Short for 'Work in Progress' / 'Unfinished.' [[LURLIM SLANG]] 'By the Mists!' / 'By the Moons!' - An exclamation of surprise, often used by older generations of lurlims. If I missed anything, or slang / terms are outdated, please let me know in the comments! I would like this guide to be a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for new or returning players. :]
