What is Roleplaying?
Roleplaying is when a group of people each tell a collaborative story, usually with each person controlling a different character. (Although it is not highly unusual for a person to have one or more character in a story.)
There are several different ways of role playing. The most common method is for each person to write a few lines, and then the other players respond.
An example:

Player One:
Pinkie Pie looked everywhere for the Princess, but alas, Luna was nowhere to be found. The noble pink pony was is in great distress. Where could the princess of the night have wondered to?
Player Two:
Rarity walked up to her friend Pinkie Pie and noticed that she seemed depressed. "Darling, Is this about Luna's kidnapping?" asked the white unicorn with concern lingering in her voice.
Player One:
"The poor princess! She got kidnapped right before her super special surprise party! What kind of sicko would snatch a princess on her 3257th birthday party?" screamed Pinkie Pie while dramatically punching the air with her hoof, "I hope that low life party crashes never gets invited to another party again! Not even an office party in a rock insurance building....AN OFFICE PARTY!!!"
Player Two:
"Don't worry sweetie, Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack just ran after the culprit," said Rarity as she approached Pinkie and gave her a light hug, a though then crossed her mind, "...wait...you actually get ROCK insurance?"
Player Three:
Maud Pie approached the two other ponies, "Of Course, Boulder doesn't want me to worry about his final expenses when he...erodes."
Player One:
Pinkie Pie nodded, "He is such a sweet rock!"
