[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2724581, member: 478"] 1) Should be at least twice to thrice a week. Daily is ideal. 2) Doesn't matter. 3) Both is good; best if all participants like it the same way. 4) Not excessively long, but not only one-liners either. It more depends on the content, then on the length of it. A huge text with little content is mostly annoying, as well as a short text with too little content. 5) DM, it's simply faster that way. 6) I cannot answer this! :D 7) The most important thing is to move the story along and to keep things interesting, when the players join in and there is a constant back and forth, it works out great, but that does not always happen. If someone drops out, which inevitably will happen, there are plenty ways to handle it, but best is to find a replacement, if it seems like the player isn't coming back, and work the new character in (thus avoiding adventures, where this is impossible, is a good idea ;)). Just move on and move on. Stagnation is the death of PbP. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
