Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

It's not the minimum length that turns people off, Derv, it's the maximum length. 2-3 paragraphs isn't much for a lot of people at all, but some rps and their posting can go to any length, there's no general cap, and some people just don't want to read extremely long posts. 'High Casual' tends to be a bit more... concise about posting length, I guess?


Trust me, I used do exclusively high casual, and a lot of them have posts that put most advanced games to shame. The thing is, standards and lengths are what the players make them. Nothing is stopping players who prefer a shorter post length from making a game in a section they're more than capable of
doing. Ever think that other people in casual might look at a high casual game and feel the same way you do about advanced? Not encouraging.

Remember, you meet the site standards, and people tend to post in similar length to their peers. Don't write off an entire section because some games have long posts; it's not all like that.

The main problem with casual right now is that it's filled with people who don't want to be affiliated with free and advanced plus people who are high casual level people like myself whom are self conscious about going to advance because when you casually look into advanced and see essays per post. I personally think we should split casual into a 'normal' casual and 'high' casual section which may solve some of the issues but in itself is not a perfect solution.


If you're doing high-casual, you're doing advanced standards. There shouldn't be a stigma or apprehension about advanced, most games only have a 2-3 paragraph minimum.
My dad was a foreman for a big amusement park in the heavy duty mechanic and ride maintenance division so he was responsible for hiring new workers. He told me he never read the name of the applicant so it would be bias free and based entirely off of skills and experience and how well they put together a resume and cover letter. In my opinion, it's the best way to do it. His shop had all sorts of ethnic backgrounds but they were all damn good workers with a great relationship.

I think things like affirmative action are bullshit because you don't solve discrimination with more discrimination. If an applicant was only presented as their skills, experience, and effort into applying for the job and there were new hire protection programs in place so things like gender and race bias were penalized if proven after a submitted complaint, then shit would go so much smoother.

Saying white people don't deserve a fair and even shot at a job in an affirmative action society because of something their ancestors did is all kinds of fucked up. Make things even, not try to make up for shit that happened decades or centuries ago.
I like how I'm one of the cover cats.

I had thanksgiving dinner Saturday because I'll be outbof town.

Also, fun fact: Canadian Thanksgiving predates American Thanksgiving by like 40 years.

This thread is too space-age for me.


Your avatar is kind of perfect for this.

Also, this thread is as awful as the moldy bread I found lurking in my pantry today.
