A summary of each and every post is the equivalent to simplifying every one which like Giz said, makes it pointless to make a long post in the first place. It's like going on Wikipedia and reading up on Naruto: that feels like a big smack in every one's face who contributed to the 368 posts in the IC XD

a summary is just so people can know what's going on, it doesn't have any form of dialogue or description of how a character is feeling. you seem to be getting the idea that by having a summary it makes the long posts pointless, no it doesn't, it in fact makes it so people might actually read it and not miss the fact you had a character interact with their character. seriously it is done in all of the nation RPs and it works really well. again having a summary does not make it pointless to have a long post otherwise there is no emotion or creativity in roleplaying, and just because i can read about something on wikipedia doesn't mean i won't read a book or watch a movie about the same thing. i look up tons of things on wikipedia and it is the reason why i watch movies and tv shows about those things, it helps me find stuff i want to read or watch. so a summary will make more people want to join in and not quite the RP do to confusion. the summary has been done many times before and it hasn't ruined the creativity and coolness of an RP.
