Is it?
Is there app sheets of any sort or is the lore freehand?
You people have no manners.
I should note that I am no longer participating in this NRP after a bit of thought on new arrangements and time budgeting.

They could be ridden down a highway to chase Bactrian camels to get to locations faster.

And a Cheatah squad could slay a giant scorpion by jamming feta into its claws.
Should I repost my app and IC?

(My IC is mostly internal set up so far with no real impact on the rest of the galaxy)
This will be great.

Writing a cohesive and quality post of such length is not easy. People can string needless paragraphs together, but if it still flows like a brick it will read like one. Brevity is plenty good, but if your style is entirely minimalist with two or three sentences for description and one for dialogue I feel it will not be very interesting to read in the first place. It especially won't be for me.

Neither is writing a brief post. The proof is in the pudding, not how many (or how few) ingredients are in it.

Not at fucking all. This is a fallacy, because I've written in Advanced & Casual for years and the divide people invent for their narrative is fiction. Advanced roleplaying should focus on developing interesting and complex characters that become part of plot-lines which catch the imagination and inspire the writer behind them to exercise creativity. It is mature, humorous, imaginative, tragic, terrifying, passionate, and rife with descriptive language and characters with real personality and relateable cares. Quality posting is far better than needless novels, yet one should never neglect detail when one feels the need. However, while word and paragraph requirements ought to be unnecessary, single paragraphs cannot contain enough detail to suffice.


So you agree with me? My statement was pretty much that writing amount means very little and that quality is more important. Does that mean writing little fable length posts? No, you aren't Franz Kafka and roleplaying requires more detailed posts due to needing to not only convey information to a reader, but also needing to convey information to who you are interacting with in a way that allows for creative responses to events. Not to mention making 'short quality posts' requires tons of revision that I doubt people who post in casual actually do. Making a long post that requires only a couple revisions works fine usually.
Losing a argument? Act goofy and storm out of the thread.
Where are you getting the idea that warp drives are more realistic and have set limits grounded in reality? Last time I checked FTL is pretty much just a device to get characters around the place faster than reality permits. Warp drives aren't really different since the exotic matter needed for them may not even be possible to attain. It could be hyperdrives as well for all intents and purposes.
