Hah! You have been disqualified and that only leaves me the coolest of the cool to be left standing! Now I shall win father's favor and maybe then I shall actually be loved ;-;

@Kho@LokiLeo789. Waiiiiit, was that really supposed to say sexist? Because I just assumed sexiest lost a letter somewhere and if that's not the case I think I might just back slowly away now.

@Muttonhawk@Kho While I am used to seeing that sort of semi-arbitrary stylistic line breaks in poetry, particularly free verse, there are only rare occasions where one does this in prose. In fact, by the general rules of grammar, if one wishes to start a new paragraph there should be some sort of ending punctuation -- and a line skipped between them, though I've seen instances where it was a single word on a line for two or three lines, and the skipped line was omitted. However, in the end the choice to insert a line break appears to be a deliberate stylistic decision Kho makes, much as I use dashes and ellipses to indicate conversational flow.

Although, Kho, I kinda agree with Mutton. I don't hear an awkward narrator, but I found the example you gave to be less emphasised and considered and more jarring and unpleasant. It broke the flow of the words, as I expect you intended, and my mind did indeed pause. It is simply that the effect was not what you seem to have desired. *amused*

[Muttonhawk]

Oh, I'm quite aware that Kho's writing quirks are more likely to be style choices and not ignorance. I'm just being an arse.

[Kho]

@shylarah@Muttonhawk Guys, I'm not that weird. That particular line-break was a typo XD I was just trying to do that post-hoc whatsmadjig that Mutton mentioned xP

Generally speaking, when I have a line break it's either because: 1) the damn paragraph is getting out of hand and it feels right to start a new one, or 2) I'm now going to talk about something slightly different, even if it's still on the same topic (i.e. horse).

@Kho

Kho, embrace your weird. We are an understanding lot, come out of you weird line-break closet my GM!

Nah, Amartia came from Vestec's essence and some other god's essence.

NO ADOPTION FOR YOU.

@Rtron

Essence means nothing in the face of a cool dude with a bad tude like Amartía.

@Lauder

Translate that to cool dude with a rad tude so I can understand it.

[shylarah]

@kho oh well that makes a lot more sense. I use line breaks in a similar fashion . ^.^; Indeed, people who never start new paragraphs bother me.

"If he shall be Mr. Hyde then I shall be Mr. Seek"
Mr. Utterson from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Stevenson an Victorian Englishman. Yeah, he wrote a shitty pun in his book.

[Muttonhawk]

This post brought to you by Hans Zimmer, Zoe Keating, and two disgruntled jerkwads on the internet. I hope it is as nice to read as it was to write.

Speaking of Jvan! I planned out her Might usage for next turn and realised that most of the project names were too esoteric to be spoilers, so...

Sneak Peak!

ed: Read that middle one as 'Space bflorbagehhehaefhgfphlpfg'. It's a simple concept, so just mentioning what exactly Jvan is shooting into the sky next is spoilery.

@Lauder

You know I explicitly assured Termite while starting that scene that it was meant to be familial and not romancey. I guess I can't stop the fanfickers...

Edit: Although, I suppose a post with the premise of 'Toun spending quality time getting hugs invading Jvan's massive womb' could be misconstrued.

Dude, Toun and Jvan is the perfect ship. Pun fully intended.

@Lauder

I have thought about this before, and...no, it really isn't a good idea unless the characters get serious changes through development, sorry.

'twas a joke

[Kho]

Dear members,

Having received certain complaints from certain parties about certain parties, which were then denied by parties against whom the parties made complaint, I will be considering the expulsion of certain parties from the RP. I will endeavour to keep you updated on this serious matter.

Yours tyrannically,
Kho

[Lauder]

@Kho

You know, I actually keep forgetting you are tyrant, my merciful lord. Mayhaps, I should fetch the song of infinite suffering?
