No, I understood that. I was more talking to the people who make it sound like a long post is simply a lot of purple prose or internal monologuing and while long posts [i]can[/i] be like that, they usually aren't. When it comes to group RPs I expect posts to be a bit shorter than my 1x1's. 3 paragraphs sounds pretty reasonable. In the case of group RPs in the Advanced section I feel like a lot of that "Advanced-ness" comes from how in-depth the world lore is, the complexity of plot, and the ability of the GM to keep up with that shit and encourage players to build their own characters and even do side-rps amongst themselves.

Sometimes the world-building eats advanced RP's up. Also, once you do all that setting development, you have to scale back down and write your RP. The whole conversation has me wondering if I ought to come up with a 'paragraph = minute' measure that I wouldn't enforce strictly, but would use as a general guideline to create pace to the narrative. There was a time when no post was too long, but I'm more concerned with how to coordinate multiple characters, actions and conversations within a post while not making it an onerous honker to write.

I'll play with it. That's the nice thing about the Guild, you can do that.
