Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu but Sky has those extras!

The sixth sense I meant isn't a supernatural or an innate one. Its the kind you slowly build up with experience. Like if for example they didn't know who Savaniel was, they'd still notice the 'aura' he gives off through his movements or confidence. They'd understand the strength difference. That sorta thing, its not pinpoint accurate or a power level reader kind of thing but you know what I mean.
I was thinking 4 to 5, anything more is basically calling them extreme fodder material.

Oh but they will volunteer, me dear loyal veteran soldiers who've been through battlefields with me slaying enemies and eating pie and having stew under the night sky building manly bonds between several men thus creating a happy camp!
They won't be superhuman though, just experienced dudes. You know, that sixth sense about danger, knowing plenty about survival. Able to hold their own against several thanks to GAR weapon maneuvers. Teamwork and the like to take down tough enemies.
Those sorta soldiers. Who hopefully don't die at least for a while.

I'm waiting on Anderiel to answer ma question.
About having my own soldiers.
Generals can't be going around with no soldiers.
Wouldn't make no sense, dun it?

Well, I'm going to give this one last shot.
I am not trying to mute you nor damn your opinions. This is a discussion, to which I am pointing our the flaws in your first post. You are currently hellbent on insisting the term is useless because it has no fixed definition. I can tell you at least, had all the RPs that had 'high casual' were replaced and put in the Advanced, we would see the standards and segregation of Casual and Advanced be slurred and destroyed.
The standards of Casual will be lower and Advanced will be bloody full of RPs with extremely wide quality variance. Which you actually might not care for since you're only concerned with the floor. I am simply trying to get you to freaking understand that the floor? Its just the floor. It has little relevance when the median or mean post length is much much much above it.
Or will you honestly agree that with a majority of the Casual population shift to Advanced because they meet the floor requirements? That this would be ideal because then, it would truely fit these specific standards.

...we seem to be going nowhere due to our personal mindsets.
We are not discussing the specificity of a word never meant to be specific. 'High casual' is a straight forward term. The definition of which everyone has come to a general consensus of simply; Higher quality and length than the usual casual norms.
Anyway, that is not the point.
We are discussing whether or not it is redundant. Your argument is basically, this;
1. This word is useless.
2. The floor of Advanced is exactly one paragraph above Casual, meaning Advanced fits the next floor that everybody wants with 'high casual'.
3. It is redundant because another term already fits its definition.
My response is this;
1. That is not a fact. That is your opinion.
2. The floor of Advanced, is once again your opinion.
3. 'High Casual' implies higher standards than casual yet lower than advanced. Your opinion is that it shouldn't exist because your opinion of the floors of Casual and Advanced are right beside each other, leaving no space for 'High Casual'.
Your opinion is this word serves no purpose, is redundant and thus stop existing despite the FACT that it has helped segregate plenty of roleplays and served as a warning to people that the OP might have higher expectations than the norms.
This is what spurred to continue this debate so long, that somehow the opinions of some of the people here seem to override the opinions of many others that there is enough space between the standards of Casual and Advanced to fit in 'High Casual'.

Through your analysis and thoughts, you've come to the conclusion that the term 'high casual' is fluff and you have used logic to explain how meaningless of a term it is.
However, most people have not come to this conclusion.
Ironically, that means it still serves its purpose and therefore has meaning. To put it simply, its like putting the label 'MEDIEVAL FANTASY' on their threads. There are different degrees to fantasy. High fantasy, mild fantasy, steampunk fantasy and so on and so forth. Are you instituting that they need not specify the type of fantasy, that the term medieval is redundant here?
I'm sort of trying to explain that. 'High casual' is simply a tag that OP makes to let people know his expectations. Theres no specific floor for 'high casual' but that doesn't mean its a worthless term.

Drana looks trap material.
Is the contradiction being people associate it with length and not quality?
Anyway, it does matter.
Sorry for requoting again but as you've said, GM's can add expectations and rules. When 'high casual' is indicated, its put there as a sort of expectation the GM has requested from the interested people. Although to varying degrees (seeing how some people abuse it), it is still a filter nonetheless.
Is it being overused as of late? Yes.
Does it still filter out people? Yes but to a lesser degree.

As a GM you're free to add rules and expectations to your games at pretty much your own wims, as long as it doesn't go below section-standards, which are all more than reasonable.
