Survey for my homework

[Kaito II/Ergy]

So, I'm against asking people to do my homework for me, but my online Anthropology class has an assignment that involves me doing a small study on a culture. The culture I've chosen is internet roleplayers. If you guys could help me by answering some questions, the most personal of which should really be race/ethnicity (I normally wouldn't add this, but it's a requirement for the assignment), gender, and age, it would help me greatly. I know I've been decently absent, and this class is the reason. If you could just take a little bit of your time to help me out, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks in advance guys, and I really appreciate it!

The questions are:

How old are you?

Are you male or female?

What is your race/ethnicity?

Why do you roleplay online?

Why have you chosen this site to roleplay on?

How do you view others who roleplay online?

What are your views on roleplaying online versus roleplaying via tabletop (D&D)?

What are your other interests besides roleplaying online?

Finally, how did you decide that you wanted to start roleplaying online?

Once again, I can't thank you enough for helping me out with this, and I truly do view you guys as something of a family whether I am active or not. I've made a lot friends here, and I'll be around as much as possible.

[Asami Lei-Fong]

How old are you? 15

Are you male or female? Male Broster

What is your race/ethnicity? African American

Why do you roleplay online? Cause it's fun I guess, lol.

Why have you chosen this site to roleplay on? I was mostly told to come here from a chick named Mari, and I thought to check it out, so it seem's fun and all, but yeah, I enjoy it a little.

How do you view others who roleplay online? Some annoying, Other's who're super fun to be around, cool, and nice as well, lol.

What are your views on roleplaying online versus roleplaying via tabletop (D&D)? I have no clue.

What are your other interests besides roleplaying online? My other interest is dancing and acting, exercising, ating healthy, and listen to music going to school, being with friends and just having fun. (If that's what you meant, lmao xD)

Finally, how did you decide that you wanted to start roleplaying online? Mmm, to escape reality I guess, give a awesome world where I can do anything and be anyone in roleplay, lol. I'm just that kind of guy I guess. Plus its fun..o.o


AND DONE!

How old are you? - 21

Are you male or female? - put down what you think i am.

What is your race/ethnicity? - half puerto rican/ half cracker white. I have no care or pride in being white so thats the simple way of saying it.

Why do you roleplay online? - its a fun creative outlet

Why have you chosen this site to roleplay on? - because I havent done it in a while and i got bored of daily stuff in life. So yet again an outlet.

How do you view others who roleplay online? - same as me. people wanting an outlet for fun and creativity online.

What are your views on roleplaying online versus roleplaying via tabletop (D&D)? - you can do online rping at you're own leisure but with tabletop you have to depend utterly on the person right in front of you/ You still depend on people online but its more casual and less stressful than tabletop games.

What are your other interests besides roleplaying online? - literature, drawing, art, mythology, zoology, foreign/culture history, tourism, trivia, video games, fashion, music, culinary arts, study of human behavior, botany, astrology, astronomy, folk lore, manga.Is that enough?

Finally, how did you decide that you wanted to start roleplaying online? - it was over six years ago and it seemed fun to play online as a fictitious character you created and pretend to be. I grew to like the online community and rping more.

[Rarilue]

How old are you? - 20

Are you male or female? - Male

What is your race/ethnicity? - Mexican, i don`t give attention to my family tree but that`s the best answer I could give.

Why do you roleplay online? - I don`t care for the acting and/or the desire of being someone else aspect of role playing, as stereotyped I guess. I just wanted something I can play with others, especially in something that you can put in so much effort into while still having fun with it. And online you can play with people all over the world and doesn`t force people to make much time out of their own personal life to play.

Why have you chosen this site to roleplay on? - Honestly, long story short, I chose this site because I didn`t see any demand/requirement for respect from the members toward the staff.

How do you view others who roleplay online? - I really don`t think about it at all, at first I`d get excited I guess because I see it as an opportunity to role play, myself. Now, i guess I don`t view them much differently from every other kind of person.

What are your views on roleplaying online versus roleplaying via tabletop (D&D)? - I don`t recall of ever trying a tabletop game. So I can`t really say.

What are your other interests besides roleplaying online? - Watching clips online, dream building, hanging out with good people I meet on the role-playing site. There are times where I don`t role play at all but just hang with others chit-chatting and such.

Finally, how did you decide that you wanted to start roleplaying online? - I decided without knowing, I started doing very short role playing with friends and found it to be very fun.

What are your other interests besides roleplaying online? Reading, writing, martial arts

Finally, how did you decide that you wanted to start roleplaying online? It just sort of happened. An old friend and I used it to keep in contact when I moved out of state.

[Kaito Takihashi]

Thanks for all your help guys!

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

If you still need it, then here comes mine. ^^

How old are you? - Just turned 24

Are you male or female? - Female

What is your race/ethnicity? - Caucasian

Why do you roleplay online? - Because I roleplay, and only having pen&paper isn't enough

Why have you chosen this site to roleplay on? - I chose it in the beginning because its active. now I know people and want to stay.

How do you view others who roleplay online? - Sorry to say this guys: BITCHES!!! A lot of people are awesome, cool, sweet, fun. But if there is something we roleplayers are great at its bitching and whining that someone got something better than us etc etc. So yeah. Bitches. And I mean that with a lot of love. ^^

What are your views on roleplaying online versus roleplaying via tabletop (D&D)? Big difference. very huge difference. I would say that the horror genre would probably translate bad over online textbased roleplay,(No I will never talk MMO's) and its nice to go and see your friends and have fun that way.

But Text based have some other qualities, like its easier to play a character very different from yourself (example: playing a smart character when you're average. Playing a manipulative character while you're an honest person. etc) You have more time to react and think to get into character.

On this specific site there aren't any plot line per say, but I know its possible to make it over text-based so I think that might be the only two things they have in common. being roleplaying, and ableness to handle plot-lines. Personally I would not choose between the two because I find they go together very harmoniously.^^

What are your other interests besides roleplaying online? Roleplaying together with friends. Reading. I have other interrest but not some I'm pursuing at the moment.

Finally, how did you decide that you wanted to start roleplaying online? - I had a friend who showed me this site. It was a bad site, but from there I got introduced to a proboard-based online rpg. I was about 16 and instead of running drama-tantrums I escelated and ended up playing on 7 different sites. None very active and all dying. When I settled down, and decided on 1 online site, I choose NFRP.^^

[Kaito II/Ergy]

Superior, I definitely have room to add information from your survey in. Thank you so much!

With that said, thank you guys so much! I wouldn't have been able to pull this project out without your support, and I really appreciate your help! This really means a lot to me, and I can't help but to keep saying thank you!

I made my initial project post yesterday, and today I received the most positive feedback from the professor for the whole class! Many others have to make major changes to theirs, but I was only asked to fix a few minor issues! Thank you guys so much for helping me with what should be an A!
