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.

Oh yeah, was never THAT into MTG personally. Had a few cards (The only one I can legit remember having being Little Girl, cause well, she's apparently dreaming of world domination yet all she can do now is wet her bed), and played a brief game with a friend at camp once, and also had another friend talk to me about that.

Yeah, and we can play two aspiring maguses trying to make their way in the world, and they diaper up in case of any, ah, side effects

*i giggle and poke at it* sooo poofy woofy

Ah yes, Sebas is great.

Well, one idea I had is that of an elemental system of magic. However, the magic can only be used if A. There is a sufficient amount of Element avaliable in the area. and B. It has an effect on the body. Like say, using water magic might make the user need to pee or be thirsty, or fire magic cause them to heat up

*smiles happily* hehehe yay

I've also had a few original RP ideas, mostly fantasy based

People write for money all the time, and people commission smut stories fairly often. It does happen, I’ve even thought about it once or twice. : o

Avery, you know you never actually didn’t care about your RPing though. That’s kinda unfair to yourself, I can feel you trying even when there isn’t much text, because text doesn’t define a spirited post. You’re not part of the problem.

Right now, and as I have been for months, I’m using a phone. I could go use my laptop but I haven’t needed to, and it’s not inhibiting me. I’m not saying it doesn’t inhibit people, but the phone itself isn’t the problem with people. It’s the heart they put into it.

My point isn’t a physical limitation, it’s a mental one. And not a social issue but a matter of how much heart they put into their work. How do you defend “I’m just not creative” or “I dunno I just can’t put in the effort”? When the post equivalence is “the character turned they did a thing stuff happened” and they expect a decent reply to that, that’s not being an RP partner.

I wouldn’t be upset if they were legitimately trying, even if their posts weren’t great. Effort speaks. : /

As did I. Hmm, yeah, Overlord could work. Mid-Season 2, eh....

I understand. Hmm, I did have this one idea I had where Ruby was an exiled princess who, looking for a way to employ herself, was made the personal guard of the young vampire princess Weiss Schnee
