How the "Roleplayer" title is decided and a few tips to get it

Alright so I noticed there was a question about what constitutes a "Good Roleplay"
The title is decided as stated below.

ROLEPLAYERS
Sometimes Controversial membership. Awarded by mods for 'good' RP posts. 1000s of one-liners are very rarely enough to qualify.


So anyways a good Roleplay is not a specific amount of lines per post. Rather something between 3-6 lines (A Paragraph post).

I realize this does not come easy for some people who aren't experienced,so here are a few tips.

The best way to get those 3-6 lines is describe your characters thought process in as much detail as you can. You can add to this by describing the surroundings or what your character is wearing,just don't try to do this in every post.

Another way to add to the amount you post is to do more then one scene in one post.
For Example,if your character is driving somewhere use the first technique to get a good amount of lines,then give yourself a few lines and Do a "Time Jump" to when they arrive and Repeat the first technique again. This on average will give you somewhere around 5 lines. An Example is below


Quote:
Damien stared out at the black sky as he drove down the otherwise empty road on the way back home. He couldn't wait to get home,because he knew what was waiting for him,a loving boyfriend and someone to vent to about his long day at work. Speeding down the road as fast as he could,only wanting to be home and in his embrace.



After driving for three hours or so,despite his speeding,Damien stumbled to the door fighting with his keys to find the right one. Once he did finally find the right key and got the door open,he sat his coat on the rack and started to look around for the person he wanted to see the most,the person who's embrace he so longed for

That is more or less what qualifies as a "Good post" Though that was a Rush job and not the best,it is the basic idea.
