Trust me I know that length is arbitary but it's what you do with that length that matters. Roleplays in Free can have better posts than casual if done correctly. Sometimes you can do what takes others paragraphs with just a sentence. However the flip side being that other times you need length and you need that size to show. I judge people by their character sheets before the roleplay even starts. I've been wrong in the past and I've written off good roleplayers for it but I've also stopped roleplayers who don't take their work seriously or don't understand that a character needs to fit into the whole a certain way. Length and quality generalizations a every tedious and full of holes process but it's still a process that needs to be done.
