Advanced

- Within roleplay circles advanced typically means a higher standard of play is expected, often this is reflected in the fact that members are expected to have an excellent grasp on the language in which the game is written e.g. the correct spelling and grammar. They are also expected to have an excellent grasp on roleplay itself, character creation, plot development and other story related writing skills. Advanced players are considered to be those who can fit into a site’s writing style and limits, and doesn’t create bland, useless characters, Mary Sues or Gary Stu’s. New roleplayers are generally advised against joining an advanced game until they truly know what they’re doing.
