Now on sample posts, what would you personally expect as an example post if you were a GM? Because there's two different answers to that question. 1. That you don't mind if someone posts and old post they have already made on the forum previously as long as it showcases their writing. 2. Acquiring everyone to write something new. (if not my suggestion where it's just your first post with a barrier of mod acceptance.)

Personally? I'd have it so that people wrote something new, maybe even impose a paragraph limit if it were an Advanced RP. It's one thing to make a character sheet, but I need to ensure you play that character properly, instead of throwing all their pre-defined traits out of the window and pulling excuses for IC drama out of your ass. If anything, your sample post can act as a mini-prologue to the IC, wherein you can give your character something to do for their introductory post when the IC starts. At least, that's how I used mine when I joined Lord Wraith's Corrigan RP.
