Ways of Posting

[Calli]

[glow=black,2,300]I was just thinking, wouldn't this make a good debate? How do you guys normally post when in the CC or when your Keepside.. or in any chat as such. Be honest and rember no flaming others opinions/ways.[/glow]

I post however I feel like, usually around five to nine lines worth. Detail is sweet and all, but too much like... ten paragraphs (which I have seen done) is just a waste of time and effort.

[kittie]

mines almost usualy a form of paragraph..o.O hence my vote, but i dont wish to make EVERYBODY do it, cuz some cant. but hay, anybody needs help do ask me i will try guide ya >.> and well i also am going to a show you my type of forum role play, its much different to normal role play, structured much more clearly and alot more typed. if you look at my web site Apolalypse city (currently under major construction), click staff, click assistant managers, click selene, then on the side menue udner her should be seen 'Selene's story' click that and read. that is forum rp. but note to save time i shall post it in a forum thread here o.O.

I know I've told you my opinion Calli, but I'll state it here for others to see. ¬.¬

Finally found it... my semi-short rant thing on CC. Ignore the spelling errors and I'm ready to clarify any points if questions are brought up.

Para or paragraph is a general term. I try not to single people out based upon the length of a post. What i generally try to look for is someone who posts and doesn't leave any questions to be asked or if there are it could just be one or two and that would be brushing up around the edges of the post.

Someone who does an uber long post just to say they para and all they're really doing is just walking into a room and ordering something to eat or drink. Is it really nessecary to give so much detail that you make others not want to read them due to length and size of the post

If any of you have seen me rp you would know that i para when i get off my lazy ass and feel like it because 1) i'm being forced too or 2) I just feel like putting a bunch of extra detail into it to make the post long.

If you've seen me rp and i enter a room with ------((Para)) on it then the first question is. Do i have to para?? basically whether they say yes or know i would most likely still do one-two liners and get the point across .

Now people who've seen me rp in a fight will know that i usually do semi-shortish paras and those generally only have the attack and its effects, speed, and that kind of good stuff. So instead of overloading the entire post with pointless info i just put in what's needed to get the jod done and would gladly accept whispers from someone about my post as long as they don't bug the hell outta me with question after question

Now based on this rant or whatever you feel like calling it would you change your views and instead of looking for the length of the post look for the quality, but if you like to post uber long posts then that's fine and I might not bug you about it in CC, but never ask me to para unless 1) we're in a fight or 2) it will keep me in the room if i want to rp there though by then well. . . i'd probably just leave, but there is my useless babble to add to this thread.

Edit: And I typed this up a loooooong time ago. My views might've changed and I was too lazy to bother fixing it. ¬.¬

[glow=black,2,300]Yup Bravo, I know your opinion and I do para's a good amount of the time but half the time their kinda short. I'm still trying to figure how to put the detail in, in a structured manner.[/glow]

[SoulofTwilight]

Well if you observe how I post on CC, you'll notice that I never have one consitent style or para or 1 or 2 sentences. And then if you look how I type on a forum threads you'll just see one little blob. But if you check how I post on forum fights I use paragraphs. So it all changes man... like... a lavalamp...>.>

[glow=green,2,300]Go with the flow! Lava be purdy!!![/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]Prefer Para's, but like the lava lamp go with the flow!![/glow]

[Clockworkchicken]

yes, I guess I tried to make it as understandable as possible, but that's mostely on forums. But on CC, I like to leave things out, because there is only limited type space, and... wel... I don't like taking up more "blocks" for one post. And still, well, it changes... like Twinblade's lavalamp -.-

[Elanorîn]

I have to admit I like the para approach myself. It's the way you trained me Cal! ;D I usually stick to one post and not go to <c> too much but to my experience it depends on who you RP with. If the others para I notice I post much longer also. I guess I'm part of the lava lamp crowd! Weee

Btw, did you know all lava lamps come from Poole, Dorset, UK? Just an hours drive from me! [/useless information]

[Calli]

[glow=black,2,300]Well your a dream to teach Ellie You ask a good amount of very good questions and never are annoying ;D I prefer para but like said. Lavalmapos are fun! Wait... did I have a point? >.> <.<[/glow]
