[QUOTE="Kalreil, post: 3381878, member: 40826"] Well put. Yes, people should feel like the the characters the interact with,including their own, are people. In a way at least. AS for what makes good roleplaying? That depends on where you are. on Isrp,and Dykal from the logs I have seen, one line posts are the norm.Things are said and done with one line posts. Nothing wrong with this to me, as long as there is at least some detail of whats going on.Other places, like the yahoo chats before they were taken over by people looking to cyber, a "Good" rper posted no les than three lines, and that was pushing it. Some people would post entries to a tavern longer than your post. In that style length matters, not so much what was being said, most people ended up repeating things several times. As I see it, say what needs to be said and be done,one like or twelve, it matters not. [url]http://www.freewebs.com/newtsunamiarmy/RP.htm[/url] That is a good sum up of the yahoo style, and as it says it is a basic version or it.Now, the set up is different some what between here and there, as here things are done more as the Character, yahoo type is done more from the view of someone watching the Character.If that makes any sense at all. I much prefer it here as to there, on account of no one is expecting anything, if all I say in a post is "Yes" no one is bothered, and it wont ruin any chance I have to continue the rp.It only takes so many words to walk in and order a drink, and to me writting an essay on it is absurd.
