So I know that most people probably RP in 3rd person, but let's hear why you prefer it to 1st person. For those of you who RP in 1st person, let's hear why you prefer this style of writing compared to the other.

As for me, when I started RPing I RPed in 1st person, as it made it more personal. I kinda got sucked into 3rd person since most people on the other site I was on did, and I've found there are pros and cons to both. For 1st person, it seems I seem to use the word "I" a lot, even in books written this way don't use it as often. But in 3rd person I seem to try and describe too many things at once, and it gets confusing.

Now I think I'm switching back to 1st person, as I've read a few books and I can figure out how to describe everything more personally like I was there, and one (personally) can make the character develop a lot deeper, and tell easier what he/she thinks. Now, let's hear your side.

And don't let it turn into a flame war, please.

I had tried to devloppate a second person style of roleplay being basically my carachter's story seen trough the eyes of a witness.It was intentionned to be always different since witnesses vary from one to another.

I however mostly roleplay in thrid person right now

Long the lines of Titus, I RP mostly in third; this allows others to read and reply easier, whereas actions can be lost in first. Honestly I think first isn't the best for an RPing medium, so I tend to keep to third.

When needed, then I can use first, though personally I prefer to keep to what I've known since I began Role-Play.

At first I wanted to RP in first person, but on the first board I was apart of it wasn't allowed so I couldn't. Then I got used to the third person and have since used the third person.

I rp in third person, makes it easier to understand. if im writing a story, ill use 1st person sometimes.....
