So I'm sure you've all wondered my thoughts on the subject, seeing as I madee the topic. I'm probably flattering myself again.
I can't weigh in on nation, tabletop, or arena, seeing as I've never realy done anything here. I admit that I have heard some things about arena, but they haven't all been bad. I've actually always wanted to try my hand at arena.
Moveing on.
Free is a bit to fast paced for me. I actually was in one or two stories here way back when I first joined up. Super fast paced and I always had plenty to read through, but sometimes I wish they'd implimentt the collabs for those 5 page one liner conversations. My other issue is there's almost no character substance and/or development, which is a must for me.
Casual is my home. Decent pace, pretty well thought out characters, decentt stories. My issues here is that people tend to flake on ya. They'll make a chacter, post the intro, and then poof. I find it irritating to be a GM here sometimes. It's irritating to be a GM period. I will say that I have met some of the best people here.
I recently joined my first Advanced RP. It takess me more time to get through and write posts, but the community from what I can tell is really chill. I'd say it's 50/50 when it comes to the purple prose situation.
