Until this day I don't know the actual definite meaning of meta game, I just know how to use it correctly, kind of.Â
The main point of this topic? To actually collect data and remove variables.
But the prompt for this topic is something along the lines of -Â
Roleplaying Introduction, the make or break of an RP. This goes back to my introduction topic, about First Impressions and how they affect the difference between remaining strangers or blossoming into true friendship. With that said,Â
How do you approach a new potential partner?
As we progress into a more advance society in real life, people determine how we live through paperwork and interviews. Let it be for Jobs, Medical Needs, Social Work, or anything at this point. With that said, are we not just merely applying for a role for the interested partner?Â
Usually it's nowhere near this extreme, for this is looking at it completely black and white, which is wrong in most sense, but for this sake we'll go along with it, and just blend our own creative colors in.Â
But let's put it into perspectives we understand. Say you are your gender, and you wish to RP with another gender of your interest, as you examine them, they have some form of interest in RPing, so that's the Green Light. But as you approach, how would you do so? This brings us to our next question.
The interest and wants of the partner?
XIV as a game has blessed us with a rather handful of Races, and sub clans, with genders too! So we're exposed to quite a lot of variables, but what I'm trying to achieve in this to help eliminate as many variables as we can when we go try to introduce ourselves. And with each race, we usually, but not limited to RPing a personality type usually. A small example;
Lalas are usually very cute.Â
Roes are usually very confident and strong.
Miqo'te are usually very Miqo'te.
The list goes on, I'm sure...Â
This is where we get a bit more, complicated, and to be frank, be rather frank about it.Â
This is where I would ask everyone to contribute their thoughts and ideas, I, myself, have never actually RP'd in XIV, but I'm not a stranger to the RPing scene. So I have quite a lot of trouble contributing to this study. But the study will actually be a long list of things at the ending, that I'll probably submit to my own spreadsheet.Â
The main focus of this specific section was, what are you tactics and approach towards your potential RP partner.Â
Attention caught, how to keep Interest?Â
This is where it's still hard, you have caught your partner's attention, but that was only the first two post at most, now you have to somehow maintain their interest and keep them interested. This tactic is just as important as pulling someone's attention. There are many ways of grabbing someone's interest, but to MAINTAIN their interest is the hardest thing, again, this is where I would need your input towards this.Â
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Actual StudyÂ
There will be a basic format, but that's only the beginning more or less, I also care quite a lot about your opinion and tactics, if you're willing to share your technique, I will accept them humbly.Â
Your Race:
Gender: (If you feel like sharing)
Preferred RP Partner Race:Â
How would you approach them?:
For study sake, how would you approach these races?:
Midlander:
Highlander:
Lala:
Roes:
Au'ra:
Elezen:
Miqo'te:
^It would also help if you put in their gender also, thank you. ^

Tl;dr - Pls halp.
