O hai, my name is Stephen, some of you may know me as the guy who yells at fat guys for being fat... I lied, none of you know that... Anyway, I am here to guide you through the hardest thing you will ever do in your life EVER... And that is play an RP Game known As Sparkly sunlight vampiresDragon Ball RP Uprising! The path to DBRPU!ness will be difficult, even treacherous... Some of you may loose up to 10 lives, but the end result... is a wonderland full of un-nooblyness, rp, and low physical health!

1.1

Before we even begin choosing our race... we must ask ourselves "Do I wanna be black, white, or asian". NO, Bad reader! -smacks- I mean like, Human, Saiyan, etc... Of course, you can choose ur skin color also, so... thats cool... Anyway, most of the races you click on will tell you what they do upon selection, and then you can choose if you will fail that race horribly or not. If you decide you found a race you like, or dislike, whatever... You can choose it, and move on. Most of the steps after this should be pretty self-explanatory... (If you don't know if you're male or female, ask a doctor.)

1.2

Even though I said most of everything after races is self-explanatory.. I lied, this one has been known to confuse people, since they obviously can't figure out that small people are hard to hit. (That means that midgets are ninjas, folks.) And so, I'm here to explain it to you!

Small build means that... you're small... No, not in the pants (But probably there also) But staturally.. You will be able to dodge more, punch faster, block better, run faster, all that good stuff. But you'll be really, really weak and easy to take down if you're hit... so yea, that would suck.

Large is...more opposity than small, instead of being little, easy to dodge with, hit with, block with, and all that cool stuff, ur now big, hard to dodge with, hard to block with, and all that stuff.. Even though it sounds like they fail bad, they actually don't. As it turns out, big people are stronger than little people! They can lift more, and if they get hit, it won't hurt them as bad!

Normal or whatever is... normal.. between small and large... not much to say about it... so, go to the next section now.

1.3

Alright, you guys are at the boss of level one! Good job! Betcha only lost 2 lives, right? Ha, of course you lost more than that.
When you are choosing an acceptable name, anything thats above the QWERTY row on a normal keyboard should probably not be used... As in, your name shouldn't be "1337 h4xx0r" No, i'll eat your face if you use that, and i'll poop it out all mushy and gross, so you don't want that. "Stephen" is the best name ever made, but its currently in use. Check again in NEVER.

2.1

What is Rp!?!? Stupid nubs and their nubbyness... Well, anyway, rp stands for "Roleplay" No, this doesn't mean ur going to a dungeon as a level 43 paladin to slay the blob-dragon, unless thats an event, which its not. when you're roleplaying, you PLAY the ROLE of your character. I know this may feel impossible to figure out by yourself, but the geniuses who did it are here to teach you. (aka me, since the others are douchebags and crapped out on me >.<). When you are rping, you cannot METAGAME, which is using info you know that your character wouldn't know. So, like, if you were on vegeta as a saiyan, you wouldn't go "liek, i r go tu erf n git da dbz nao so i r wish for emmurtalety nao TROLLOLOL" No, bad nublet. That is wrong cuz you never learned about them.

On a side note, anything OOC (Out of Character) You use say for, use brackets, that way, they know ur not telling them ICly (In Characterly)

2.2

Alright, now i'm sure ur thinking "But stphn, i r gud rper nao, i r go play nao?" No, you still need to learn about the ROLEPLAY Verb. "But stphn, i r no hao tu rp, i dun ned virb tu du eet" Well ya do, without it, rp probably wouldn't even exist.
If I used the roleplay verb in the game right now, and used "Roleplay shoves a broom up the nubs butthole" Then it would say in nice yellow text "Stephen shoves a broom up the nubs butthole" Ya catch my drift, butt-nub?

2.3

Alright... Now i'm sure you're thinking "Oi, Stphn, i r nu hao tu rp n hao tu use da virb nao, i r go nao, kthnxbai" No, cuz you can't rp with urself (Unless you're me, I've done it b4) But normally, you can't. You need to meet other people. "But stphn, uder pplz r scarwy, wt if dey keel mi?" They won't, with any luck, they have read this guide, and have learned the sacred art of rp. But, if for some reason, someone kills you without any IC reasoning, you can ask over the OOC Channel for an admin to help you. More on that will be explained in a future chapter.

3.1

Mm? Oh, you're still alive.. I see... well, now, i'm gonna teach you how to proportionate your physical energies to differentiate in a positive way from your opponents. (aka train)
In order to train, you have several options. "But Stphn, i r push trn virb, i r get pwrful nao ur gide suxs" WRONG, train verb is actually one of the WORSE ways to train.. Sure, it works for a while, but the only thing its any good for is gaining your str and end.. other than that, its worthless. "but stphn i r hax str i dun ned moar HALP" Calm down, lord nubbits.. I'm here to help ya.. Some other training methods are Meditate, Sparring, and Punching bags.. There are actually more than that, but those are just the ones I wanted to put in the guide.
Meditate is like training, but it raises your force/resist instead of str/end, so it has that use. Sparring raises everything. "But stphn if spar maeks erythng btr wai use da uder vurbs?" Cuz spar trainings Str even less than train, so if you wanted to get that up, just use the train verb. Punching bags i'll let ya figure out on your own, they can only be made by admins at the time I wrote this guide, but that probably'll change, if it hasn't already.

3.2

Alright... Now you're uber-powerful, know everyone on the server, but still want more, right? Well, heres the CONTACT function of the game! Contacts is neat, because you can change the contact's familiarity ranking based on how familiar you are with them. "Stphn i r no kia furevur nao n et nly at 1 HALP!" Sthu... It increases as long as they're in your contacts, and you're interacting with them.. Even if that just includes talking to 'em. When you reach certain checkpoints in familiarity points, you can change them to "Rival", "Good", and "Very Good" along with "Bad" and "very bad". For most saiyans, to reach ssj (Super Saiyan) They need someone thats at least at "Good" To have something happen to 'em. (Die, for example) and then that makes you really angry, and enter super saiyan..

3.3

Ahh.. Skills n' stats... what a great combination of usefulness and trouble... These things can make or break a wipe easily. "But stphn hao cn skeelz n statz be bad?" Well, think about it.. If half the people have 9999999 every stat, and the other half has 20 of each stat, what do you thinks gonna happen? They're gonna WTHPWN the weaklings, and make the wipe suck. Also, if power-hungry abusing faggots get a ton of rare skills, they'll just powergame and rape everyone, which isn't pleasant.

Skills are kinda self-explanatory, if not, ask on the forums or in OOC chat in-game. For now, i'll explain the stats and what they do.
Strength: Affects damage and how far you knock ppl back with a punch.
Endurance: Affects how much damage you take and how far you fly back.
Force: Affects how much damage your ki does.
Resistance: Affects how much damage others ki does.
Speed: Makes you attack faster.
Energy: Helps you learn skills better, train longer, master stuff, etc.
Battle Power: invisibly raises all your stats by a small margin, so even if ur force is horrid, you can still hit high if your BP is high enough.

4.1

Mm... You guys must be pretty tired now, got pretty far in the dungeon now.. Well, now i'ma teach you about proper In-game etiquette, and how it makes the game more enjoyable.
First up, Going "HALP HALP" in ooc solves nothing, just makes you look like a failure. If you need something, ask like this: "Hey, uh, I was wondering... How do I raise my intel level?" (Intel doesn't work at the time of this guide, so look for answers elseware) "Bt stphn wai cn't i tlk liek dis?" Because its wrong! It makes people think you cannot type, or just failed phonics 101.. And that isn't good for rp.
When you meet someone ICly, think about what you would do irl. If you see someone with a dragonball, don't go "omg i db cn i haz eet?" No, say "Hello, My name is Stephen, and I just noticed that you have an interesting rock right there, could you tell me about it?" That makes people think you are more sophistimacated and speak english.

4.2

Ooh boy, do you have ur work cut out for you here.. Admins can be a snoody bunch of people who seem to bully you just for fun. (Actually, I do sometimes) But (usually) They're just doing their jobs. Many people go "ADMUNZ HALP HLAP I R NED HALP" But admins are usually busy, and don't have time to go "What do you need help with?" And then wait for your answer. So its usually better if you say what you need, instead of asking for help.

If you and an admin ever get in an argument, try to look at it from their perspective, theres probably a reason the admin is doing what they are doing. But, if you feel that you are completely right, and the admin is an epic douchebag, tell me or Kia and we'll take care of it. If you think an admin is abusing, tell me IMMEDIATELY, I don't tolerate abuse at all and will hit them with my banhammer so hard they'll be banned from life (Metaphorically speaking).

4.3

Aww, my poor lil' nub was bant? That sucks, you musta been a bad girl/boy to get banned.. Luckily, there is a solution for the average(see terms and license) ban! Its called the forums!!! Read on for details.

Now then, you're probably thinking "Stphn halp Klrmnklr bnt mi nou rsn STRIP HE" No, thats not how it works. If your were banned, there is probably a good reason for it. But, if you swear that you didn't do nuthin' wrong, and the admin is a douchebag, PM me on the pager or MSN And i'll straighten things out. Screenshots often make things go better, so provide any evidence you can. (If you photoshop a screenie, i'll make sure your banned for a really long time).

There is a topic on the forums here somewhere called "Ban Appeals" or something like that. There, you can use the form laid out to apply for an unban. (I also posted an example of what not to do, if you wanna see it)

5.1

Oh gawd, you guys are on the final floor of the guide, I wonder if you can beat it?
Planet destruction is a funny little feature... its where a planet.. is destroyed... "STPHN I R WANT TU DISTRUY PLNT NAO!!" Too bad... Typically, planet-destruction is done during an event, or if something IC happens that causes the destruction.. If we gave the ability to destroy planets to everyone, then we'd never have any planets left, now would we?
By far, the planet most often destroyed is Vegeta, don't ask why, just go with it. But when a planet is destroyed, anyone that cannot survive in space will die. (That pretty much includes anything, but there are exeptions to this) Planet destruction looks pretty, but can kill alot of people, so it should only be done when it won't ruin the wipe.

5.2

Mm.. Building, the cherry on top of a nice vanilla sunday.. You know, the expensive kind you get at those fancy stores.. Anyway, Building lets you build houses, valleys, cliffs, mountains, rivers, whatever you want basically. In order to build something, double-click on what you want to be built. Then that turf'll be made into whatever you dblclicked. Then you move, and repeat until you have what you wanted. Other than that, its fairly simple, have fun building!

...Oh yea, admins can deactivate the ability to build at any time, so don't tempt them.

5.3

You are now at the final stage of the final floor on the final dungeon... yea, thats right. The boss of the game... Which would be... Advanced rps...

Advanced rps include rps that last a long time, rping for ranks, or even event rps. These are the major... Categories(??) of advrps.
Rps that last a long time aren't really individual rps, but huge scenario's or plots that last long periods of time.. These aren't much different than your casual rping, except they tend to be more serious, stricter, and have longer individual rps. I have a tendency to get caught up in these, and let me tell ya, they can wear you out.
Rank rps are the most common advrp, since everyone wants to get a rank. How this usually works is, when an admin is handing out ranks, they'll tell you to rp a certain scenario (Whether it be shooting a spirit bomb and a demon, or gluing a kitten to a tree). You will then use the Roleplay verb to make an emote that is as long and as high-quality as you can do. "But stphn da admunz gve meh a st00pid topic n i dun wnna du eet". I gave the admins specific orders to come up with random scenarios such as painting your house with a toothbrush... I have many reasons for doing this, but the ones i'm willing to share are... Mm... Well, it helps keep your rp skills sharp and manipulable, Keeps you from having any pre-made rps (Those are illegal for most rps, btw.), and they provide countless hours of entertainment for me =D.


Well, thats about it for my little guide here.. I didn't cover 'everything' in the game, but I covered several key points that will hopefully help you, as well as get some other guides started.. So go, have fun, and enjoy this picture.

It is a pretty good guide. Though I must say adding all the "noob talk" kinda distracted me from understanding all the information, and perhaps the jokes could be cut off a bit too. But maybe that's just me :o. Just keep doing your best, and you'll be ftw !
