On the issue of Kurai Assassin's post lengths... 

Skill requirements, post lengths and all that other jibba-jabba are a waste of time in my opinion. You can make an RP, tell the players that their posts have to be X long and of X quality, and then laugh as half of your player base falls well below what you have specifically requested.

So then what do you do? Well, telling the one line warriors, or the no grammar gurus to go fuck themselves is one way. Another of course is to kindly ask them to leave, or up their game. Sometimes it gets ugly, sometimes they leave, but I always end up feeling bad, and you know why? 

Usually it's the lesser skilled players who are actually more able roleplayers than the heavy duty, professional writer types. Sure, their posts tend to be small, and their grammar usually sucks, but they always have purpose. Their character does something, or says something, which is more often than not a notable event. 

The big hitters, the guys who write me 5,000 words in a single post, are the ones who upset me more than not. I trawl through 5,000 words, finding that only three paragraphs really add anything. The rest of it is their descriptive wet dream. It's boring. It bores the other players. Before long, too many of those big hitters, and that's all you're left with. 3 guys who love to write you massive long posts about not much. The RP stalls, and it dies. 

Not to mention, that with weaker writers, it's never a question of laziness or lack of enthusiasm, but of diminished capability. I'd much rather roleplay with someone who's serious, but writes like a cat flying a kite, than someone who can't be arsed and is just firing words at me for the sake of firing words.

Kurai Assassin, you're doing fine. I understand why some peeps may have a few issues, but so far, you haven't done anything to jeopardise the RP. Carry on.

I could go on, but I think this has been resolved. If anyone has any more concerns with another player's posting style/ability, I'd prefer it if you PM'd me so I can look into matters myself. This way, no one's name gets run into the mud, no one gets embarrassed and I don't have to make public speeches. Instead it gets resolved constructively.
