yup, nice members too...

Thank you. I think that my RPG is very friendly. I've been on some RPGs that are like "Hi new person. Post 3000 + words in every post and then we'll like you." Seriously!

Anyways, I like to brag because I do have very good members. ^_^

Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to say that we have celebrated our two-year anniversary a few days ago. Way to go us!

*Cough* As long as everyone isn't posting 1-2 setences every post in an RP, it can't be all that bad.

1 or 2 sentences per post does not make an RP...

We have both long posts and short posts. Sometimes it's just too hard to write a long post.

Some short posts are fine, I'm not saying they're all bad. But an RP that is mostly constituted of posts that are less than two sentences long is kind of sucky.

So is an RPG with a word minimum.

Actually, that isn't always all that bad. Say a minimum of two sentences wouldn't really be bad or anything. A minimum of that 3k thing... You're kidding, right? I mean, it's not all that hard to write a little bit more, and it makes things more interesting. How much thought does it take to write two sentences or so?

Blaaah...

"No one-liners" or "Two sentence minimum" is totally fine. It's when people want 500 words every single post that things get old very quickly.

And so he entered the room. The room was dark. The room was scary. He thought it was anyway. There was a rat in the corner, eating something, probably cheese or sugar or whatever the hell rats eat. He then saw the chair. That chair was kind of pretty, but he wouldn't dare sit on it for it looked very old, and a thick layer of dust was covering it. There were nice details in that chair. He wondered what material had been used for the chair, and guessed it was maple. And blah blah blah......

That is what I liked to call a stupid post. Very true though. S'why you add flavor, color, and emotion to your posts. That right there is just boring description.

:/

[size=1]"He entered the room upon his toe's-the fluttering of the incandescent bulbs granting him this vivid image of fear itself. The shades and lightings became one essence in this mixture bowl, coming together to burn itself within his retina. Beads of sweat accumulated upon his forehead as a result of this building anxiety-his imagination running loose. His eyes trembled, lips quivering, and limbs uneasy as he proceeded into this eerie room-the creak of the door playing chills down his spine; the individual cry of each board he set foot on pulling at his whim; the growling howl which the wind composed as it violently blasted through the windows-this eerie room which he came to fear."[/size]
I know I haven't been the best. I know what I've done. Please let me vindicate myself.

I've been dying on the inside, never showing on the outside. I've been crying for so long and never tears can produce because they've all been spent upon you. Every moment fades and it transitions into thoughts of you. Life, death; both are synonyms without you. This unbearable pain, I now understand-please let me mend those pieces of the heart I've shattered with all I can and show you who I really am . . .

-I love you and I always have.

Unfortunately, not everyone can write well. If that were true, we'd all be authors with published books. :P We're here for fun, and though I believe that everyone should try their hardest to write good, quality posts, I don't want anyone getting carried away with writing "well."

What I should have emphasized was that sometimes putting in such stupid detail sucks. :P and that shortening a post would be better or keeping something to a good size (not exactly a set requirement but like a few sentances) would be better than an entire paragraph.

I doctored FM's post a bit to show difference in style I suppose.

Oh, okay. :P I thought you were saying that it wasn't very hard to make a supurb post such as that. XD
