*Para began to look around, analyzing the room.
Para: but where? I don't see any other rooms.

((The Group of Five needs TLS, not me and Skully's group...))

((I know i can post, but after we went down so deep into Feels, my brain just stopped working and im out of ideas ;_; + We are in this forest for a while, without really pushing our story forward))

((True true. Even monsters have feelings... XD And we're heading towards the mountain.))

The Great TLS has come to save the day! I'm going to use my special move! Your plot is moving forward now.

After observing this thread for a while, I need to step in a bit:

This forum isn't a chat room, and this thread is making hundreds and hundreds of tiny posts that are almost reaching the "minor spam" category. It also looks like it's causing problems because posts are literally going too fast to RP in time with thanks to how this forum (not chat room) works. To keep this thread from becoming a spamfest that I'd have to bin, let's try this new rule out:

-Quality over Quantity. Rather than RP posts being one or two lines in length with nothing more than dialogue + a basic reaction, posts should be written as if telling a story.

This means that a post should not look like this:

Quote from Example

Characterguy smirks.
Characterguy: So what should we do then?

Instead, try and go for something like this:

Quote from Example 2

Characterguy enjoyed talking to his friend. He smirked at the thought of his posts being called "spammy," whatever that was. He still wanted his companionship, but the quest for power was only beginning and there was a lot left still to do. "What should we do next, then?" He asked.

Which of the two examples were more interesting to read? Which one do you think was more fun to write?

Writing in the 2nd example's fashion can be expanded endlessly in dramatic moments, so that when the epic battles and intense moments of character development happens, you can go as in-detail as you want. It also takes longer to do, which is a good thing. It cuts down on the spam.

So what do you guys think? As it is now, this RP can't continue as spammy as it is. If we can get the quality up a bit it can stick around, but what's happening now has been enough to get previous RP threads binned.

((You got it, Mr Devour Sir))
As they exit the tower, Grace tries to think of where to go next. Now that they had all this gold, it had to be of some use somehow. "So guys, where to next? Cuz I have no fucking clue."

(( I think it's Swell. I'd rather go with example 2 due to how many plots it could lead to. I also understand how we've been only saying like 1 of 2 lines of text and not In paragraphs.

Thx Devour, Also Happy new year!))

As Leo woke up, he found himself locked up in a cell.
He quickly checked to see if he still has GEAR and his Backpack. "Good I still have them" said leo in relief, but when He looked Up, he saw these hideous looking creatures looking at him. Gremlins.

* Para is currently drawing something onto a piece of paper with great detail. Whithout looking up from his work, He says:

Para: we could stimulate the economy of a local village, sending them down a path towards decline.

Jesus, What kind of tongue is this? It's lasted longer than pretty much anything else I've ever absorbed.

Ooc:I'll just brush that off and carry on

((Ooc: I think that is the opposite of the point arch-angel is trying to make. try to leave your posts more open to growth and/or longer))

I'm not just being an asshole. If you don't care about the RP then that's you, but I don't think everyone else is going to let you bring them down with you.
