*getting my three new cards, I had a queen, jack, king, 7, and 4. I then lay them down*

Even though alchemy is, from what I know of it, different, but sure, heck, maybe go a bit Fullmetal....

True, I mean, if a race isn't specified, I'm fine with it, but yes he would

Some people want, ah, Will Smith or Daniel Radcliffe to play Jace. At least Daniel has experience with magic....

Hmm, turning metal into ore works, and potion making can be its own thing

Hah, also, you seen the various dream casts people have made to play the Planeswalkers in a hypothetical MTG movie?

Anyway, we got our elements and basic spellcraft down. Oh, we can also have summoning and the like

Maybe light would make you photosensitive for a bit?

And also, in Vancian magic, its fire and forget. Say Bob uses fireball. He cannot use fireball until he, say, reads a spelltome of fireball

Oooh, and maybe mages can only "hold" a certain amount of spells at a time, like Vancian magic

True, maybe using ice makes the user chilly. What else? Darkness and light?

True, hmm, we could also add in lightning, ice, w...oh wait we have air, we could also have time magic and whatnot

Ah yes, might check that out.

True, or if we have them diapered, only bring it up when needed, like they used a powerful earth spell or something. Anything else we need to discuss?

Go for it if you want to, hobbies can pay if you’re good at them. : p

Phone writing is inferior, can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to go and edit an autocorrect in a post, but that’s part of the poison.

A lack of style isn’t style. If your posts aren’t interesting then why bother? Especially when they approach me with wanting to RP and quality comes up in that discussion. We talk about the same thing - You don’t have to make long posts, you just have to make it interesting.” Then when they can’t and I ask them what’s up I get that response, and it’s like.... Clearly you’ve seen how I RP? If you’re intimidated by that then why come to me? That’s a whole other thing entirely, people shouldn’t be intimidated by writing style like that... It’s not hard to read or decipher, and I don’t expect people to RP like me.

Super funnel has the highest number of posts both because he’s been here since almost the site’s inception and a lot of people will RP with low standards. If neither party cares then it’s just a hollow RP, and although the point is for two people to share an RP the other aspect of it for me is readability, and it’s entirely devoid of that since you just can’t really read it, it’s boring.

That, and four word posts shared back and forth will naturally have a higher post number and frequency. Those RPs are several dozen pages of nothing usually. But I gotta’ reiterate, post length doesn’t equate to post quality. You can have a post that’s a sentence or two long that still has some vibrancy to it, that’s still fun to read and respond to.

I’m not damning short posts or trying to say that length is quality, I’m damning posts that are boring to read, force the other RPer to work harder to tow it and aren’t backed by even a little effort. At least in the circumstances where one person is pulling effort - if neither person gives a crap then you can have a poorly constructed RP between the both of you and neither person will be put out by the other.
