"I'll try to keep that in mind and not go overboard with the flowery phrasing, though admittedly I allow myself more slack on this type of RP than others because if somebody gets confused they can always just read the summary to make sure they understood the gist of what I was trying to communicate."
That was the one I mentioned. Maybe it's not a good example, here's some from my posts:
"Acting preemptively, they ceased participation in the endless wars and feuds of our belligerent tribes, and devoted every moment of their waking moments to finding a way to escape our lands before the ever colder winters killed us all."
"The boatbuilders' blood stained the snows as we fell upon them, leaving their cold bodies behind as we stole their ships, for the endless winter has made us strong; our hearts are cold and some say that ice flows through our veins."
I feel like sentences like this are hard to swallow in one gulp, so to speak. I know what I'm trying to say and can follow my own train of thought easily as I read through those, but I've been wondering if other people can take in sentences like those without reading them once or twice.
Edit: Yeah, I try not to drivel needlessly, but when you look at the examples from the IC maybe you'll understand my predicament. I try to convey all of that information but it usually ends up being mashed together in one sentence because otherwise it usually turns into a paragraph of broken and fragmented thoughts.
