Okay, here are things that are related to RP and their meanings:
Thanks for Kuroguma-san for some corrections and suggestions!
Bunnying - Basically controlling any part of your environment that should be left up to someone else.
NPC - Characters in the game (or in this case Roleplay) that anyone could control. No name guy are considered NPC because you have to decide when they show up or get destroyed. NPC also count as shop keepers or and inn keepers. NPCs are roleplayed by an account named "Non - Playing Character." the account is controled by staff
Powerplaying/God Modding - This is when you look like invisible of sorts, can dodge everything, never die, etc.
Mary/Gary Sues - Mary Sue (or simply Sue) is a usually derogatory expression for a fictional character who is an idealized stand-in for the author, or for a story with such a character. A Mary Sue therefore goes beyond a conventional author surrogate character. The term originates in fan fiction but is spreading into general use. A Mary Sue may be tougher, smarter, and cooler than the established characters and so win their admiration. Alternately, the Sue may be nicer, sweeter, and more charming than the established characters (often despite being tortured by a tragic past) and win their love. Either way, the setting's protagonists are upstaged by the new character's perfection. If this new character dies in the story (typically as an act of self-sacrifice), there is often extensive grieving. They are hated by all good RPers.
PM me if I missed anything.
