How to be a good rp player

[DioChasek]

Ok quick breakdown. https://wiki.ss13.co/Rules
Normal rules still all apply you are looking in particular at the rp rules of course.
Beyond that as far as advice on role playing as a concept that is a whole giant ball of yarn

Ive read the rules and i keep them in mind... what i dont know is if my rp is normal or shit, what mistakes im making and just examples of good and bad rp

Best two bits of advice I can give are follow the yes and rule and the no but rule when it comes to interactions. Example I am Mops the Floors and I encounter another Lizard by the name of Sweeps the Floors. Do I immediately tell them they are my brother and not let them get a word in edgewise or do I start with something like “Sweeps did you hear about cousin Shines accident?” This gives them the opportunity to do a lot of things and from there you can expand your shared lore together.
The second bit of advice is don’t try to judge your rp as good or bad. Just so long as you are having a decent time and you aren’t making people miserable or uncomfortable you are doing fine.
Trust me people will let you know when you are doing exceptional and they will also tell you when you are being a shitbird.

Addendum seek out and observe mentors and regulars on the rp server. A few fantastic characters who come to mind are Captain Jeb, OVERWATCH the ai, Cal Mooberly, Sophie Crow, Selena James, Doctor Donk Pockets, and if you ever run into him Randolph P. Checkers.
Avoid MOPSY the clown he is trash.
