>hmmm... okay guess i'll bring back good ol' maxwell
What Maxwell? Scribblenauts Maxwell? Don't Starve Maxwell? Maxwell Lord? Also, the following little rant isn't directed at you specifically, so don't take it as such. It's more of a general thing I've been holding back on, not just in this RP but in general and this is good an opportunity to throw it out there as any. So here we go, no offense meant to anyone in particular but you're free to feel offended if you like.

More characters again? Can people just not play only one anymore? Do people really need more characters to make longer posts instead of just setting a scene or getting the character's mentality across? I fucking suck and I just wrote 3 paragraphs, neat, easily readable, equal length ones, about a guy jumping off a building and crashing into the ground below because I set the scene somewhat, narrated what is happening around my guy and how he perceives it, worked in the character's mentality and personality into it. It's not that hard, I'm not even touching on things like smell, the temperature of being so near a pool of goddamn lava and the like.
The worst part is when people insist on having multiple characters and don't even write more because of it. It's just a few lines for each, making all of the characters and their general situations nebulous as fuck, barely acknowledging what is happening around them and how they react to it all. Sometimes they're outright reduced to hive-mind levels of coordination without all the fun of an actual hivemind, and then the extra "character" just becomes an excuse to have more "actions" within the roleplay. At worst, they'll fucking forget to address one of their own character's reactions entirely, wholly justifying my claim that they're completely superfluous.
Rather than try to fill out posts by throwing in a bunch of short lines about different people, would it not be best to actually get a handle on narrating what goes around an individual protagonist first? Yes, yes I am a bit salty about this, comes with holding back and not saying it in short, less agitated bursts before.
