All I'll say is this;

Obviously character development is paramount. I've said this myself in countless RP's. Especially in Sci Fi. Where great Sci Fi is all about the why and who.

That said context is important.

A 10k ns is nothing compared to an IC sections with hundreds of pages.

I am not going to discuss the issue further unless the gm has something to ask of me.

Instead I'm going to focus on telling my story IC and sharing and creating stories with the other players.

Have you actually read mine or terminal's sheet?

You're saying it's daunting.
I for one think a well.written ns makes me excited to write with that rper and interact with that creation.

Okay, cool. That's good.

Oh. Welcome back. I thought you were focusing on IC. Huh. Okay. To be honest, no. I have not read your sheets. I skimmed them. Outside of IC, I generally only read things that have grasped my interest. Unless they are to-the-point, in which case I read them because then I can do it without getting bored halfway through. To be fair though, I do have ADHD.

Cool. I for one think IC posts are a better representation of a writer's skill, and use that to determine whether or not they are someone I would like to interact with.

EDIT: IC posts are also my way of determining if someone's creation is interesting. I like to see things develop.

If you have the time read the sheet. Consider it a favor from you to me. Just in the interest of seeing if it all changes your opinion and so you can actually assess the writing as you seem eager to do.

If you don't I won't take any offence of course.

I'm working on plot ideas but I'll still be active on the thread. I meant I didn't feel like continue something that was threatening to descend into argument.

I like the insect-esque quasi religious gender relations of the Legion. It's interesting.

No outstanding issues so far, but I do have to agree that detail can get a bit too excessive. It's not that the writing is bad, per se, it's just long-winded.
I'll be posting a more detailed response in about an hour.

Per se would imply you do think it is 'bad'.
It's long for sure but long winded is something else entirely. If I remain in the RP I'll be posting several thousand word posts on a regular basis. I wouldn't have presumed that'd have been an issue.

Edit:
Look things have already got a sour air. Clearly there's a large difference of opinion here and there's no point moving forward. Consider me out.

I'll start own of my own, as I normally did.
That said no hard feels and I wish you all the sucess with the RP.

Want to share with you guys two possible ideas for my bugs and their origins.One idea is that the bugs are living weapons of a long dead civilization. Of which they were mostly responsible for it's downfall, and they continue to fight a war that has long past. The Second idea is similar to the last, but with a sort of twist, they are living weapons, but not from a civilization, but the planet itself, it's alive and it's on a mad quest to wipe the galaxy clean of Galactic Civilization.So which one sounds better for the setting?


I'll just say, if you must steal my thunder, you best damn do it well.

On that note, the first one is less cliche than the second. # sounds interesting.

Humans are so 34th millennium. All the cool kids are with aliens now.

I'm probably going to start squatting in another player's territory. Does anyone want space squatters? Anyone? They're good for you.

You want to leave from an RP that hasn't been made yet, over the comment of someone who I don't think is even in the RP, and go create your own, which will compete for players and energy with this one.

Edit:
I've been super tetchy lately. I returned to the guild to blow off steam and this was literally my first thread posting in again. It just felt like my work, style and opinion were being lambasted right out the gate. I realize I may have spoken rashly earlier and took things out of context and would like to apologise for my misinterpretation. I am indeed intending on GMing another RP but not with the intention of conflicting , but if you'll still have me I'd like to remain here also.

Well, I personally wouldn't mind you staying on in the slightest. I personally enjoyed your sheet, even if it did make me worry about my own sheet paling in comparison when I get around to writing it up. :D

I participated and GMed every level and type of RP. Do not think you're work is invalidated by comparison to somebody else's. Honestly, be proud and if you do feel you want to improve then think it in a positive manner. I'm sure you'll produce something great :)
