When 1 player or the GM drags the pace down or starts posting without putting in much effort, then everyone starts following suit.Yep, it actually takes effort on the players’ part to keep their interest up. This is why I value character interaction, because that is what keeps interest in RPing. This is why I always try to post dialog in every IC post to hopefully continue character conversations regardless what events are going on (including combat). It helps when everyone shares that view and continue to answer and provide conversation hooks in return.Yep, I don’t like those players either. 1x/day (except when the game will be held up unnecessarily without a quick answer) is best. It accommodates those people in various time zones and posting schedules.It really doesn’t help that much. Not that I would turn away the reward. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> However, players’ interest is usually not driven by little things like that. Ultimately the players that stick around to post with regular frequency and quality are motivating themselves. Often they like writing. Those that are not big on the writing are typically playing in so many games that they are always posting in some of them every day.Fair enough. I reworked Jamir to be an archer bard instead of the controller one I made.</blockquote>
