What is RPing?

Can anyone tell me what RPing is?

RPing is short for Role Playing.

It is basically two (or more) people roleplaying as though a certain event were happening. Such as one being inflated by the other. Usually the one being inflated is describing the process going on with them. But that is roleplaying in a nutshell.

Ok Waka, let's leave inflation outta the definition for now and consult our friendly Wikipedia...

"In role-playing, participants adopt characters, or parts, that have personalities, motivations, and backgrounds different from their own. Role-playing is like being in an improvisational drama or free-form theatre, in which the participants are the actors who are playing parts."

I assumed it was in an inflatable context, yeah.

Well hey, the general definition is there now...and now we can add in the inflation context. XD

Never let those who dislike what you enjoy get to you. If they won't bother to understand than it's not worth your time. Hold your head up high and be proud for what you like!

...and so further to the inflation context (that I've just now made up) is 'Roll Playing'. That's where you playfully inflate someone then roll them around...
