I really, really want to argue about the merit of the "High-Casual" level/difficulty-notation, but that isn't the purpose of this thread so I won't.
What I will say, however, is that if you want to specify intra-level - i.e. "High-Casual", "Low-Advanced", etc. - it's better to scale up, so to speak. Low-Advanced being below typical Advanced quality defeats the point of Advanced - to draw a bottom line for Advanced standard. The way the sections are defined are by their minimum requirements - and so by using "High-Casual", you aren't much affecting the definition of what is required for an RP to be "Casual" level, but by using "Low-Advanced" you're completely breaking the point of the Advanced forum by violating that "bottom line", or the cut-off point, and changing the requirements for Advanced.

Double-post.
While I'm inexperienced with GMing, as an RPer I think it depends on the people you're playing with. Some players have a fantastic sense of appropriate timing for their posts, and you can let them have free reign as you know they're both dedicated enough to the RP, and intelligent enough in their decisions of when it's appropriate to post, that they'll manage themselves well. Much of the time, however, there will be at least one or two players who are either too lazy to post without getting a kick up the arse from their GM, or who post every second response in the IC, when there's nothing new to actually say or do. When that happens, you're better off introducing one of the systems above.

I think too much of myself leaks into my writing when I'm tipsy - so while it certainly can help me connect if I really want to emotionally charge a scene, or if I'm writing about myself in some way, it tends to compromise my writing if I'm writing a character dissimilar to myself or some such. I think the style of my writing is clearer when I'm not tipsy, too - I tend to write in a fairly convoluted manner, and it's easy to slip up and make grammatical mistakes or lose track of my own sentence if I'm inebriated.
On the other hand, considering how many great writers have been known to drink as part of their lifestyle (sometimes to excess!), clearly you're onto something. ;P

Well, why use some program with questionable stability when you could just use notepad or something?It's not as though you need it formatted or anything.

'Twasn't for school. xD I'm free. Sweetly, sweetly free.
Oh, shit! Sorry, I read this:
and this from PMs:
As meaning that the other teams had activated their beacons - and as they know that Tess has run off after Jack... I suppose they wouldn't know where Tess was though. An oversight on my part - what I'll do is wipe the post, keep it on my computer, and repost it with appropriate edits once the time is right. My apologies, I wasn't paying enough attention to the details.
Siphran said "CP to all aerial units in the vicinity, prep to evacuate all BESC personnel. All active units, proceed to clear an LZ and activate beacons. Say confirm."
"Fox Two confirm."
"Fox Three and Six, Alfa, already clear."
"Bravo confirm."
and this from PMs:
Siphran said But that might work out on the extraction part of the whole deal. In my posts where the SRTU teams were told to activate their beacons, these beacons would ping any BESC aerial units, or units associated with the BESC or law enforcement, requesting immediate transport.

I'd rather avoid the burning, if possible. Maybe I should be changing my Power to Fire, if that's what lies in my future. xD
Other races meaning like fucking elves and shit?
