Even though I do tend to Agree with Reijin that a pesonal saga 300-350 words per post is kinda tight and very stringy, I dont think that we need to make the word count per post to a 700 word minimum. It kinda seems like that would kill some people.

Some people like myself sometimes cannot make a long post because that day our creativity or something isnt that great. We need to allow for some posts to be 300+ words. However most RPs are usually 400-600 words per post. Unless you're pan there lol :lol: :lol:

Then stop causing a stir. This entire thread is about how we're trying to take over the site after being here 1 day.

Whether you have to complete at quest in 1500 words or in 5 , 300 words posts won't change a damn thing.

Fix'd.

Well, being that the entire thing Pan posted was created before she posted it and just slapped up a crap ton of posts only solidifies my statement.

The difference between Pan and the rest of us is that we usually have things to do

Successful troll is successful. And I'd like to bring this back.

If it won't change a damn thing if we change it...WHY BOTHER CHANGING IT?

So, you join the site, change or try to change lots of things, and people who were here before cannot have an opinion?

Gohan, seriously stop posting. You're only proving my point. If you want to validate your self indulgent, bullshitting attitude, try going against what I said.

And no Geist, it really doesn't matter what you think...only what Alex thinks.

Perhaps if we kept things how they are for a couple of months, then have a poll? Allow for people to get acclimated to the system we have, then see how they feel.

Then I hate to say it, but no one from Fallen is going to RP here.

Most of us are waiting for this change.

Respect must be earned. You've been here a day, and have tried to make Alex's DBZ RPG into...Rising DBZ RPG.

Fallen there buddy...Fallen.

And no, we're not. Alex wanted it. So next time you open your mouth, or rather click the "reply" button, get your facts straight.

And if people post in 2,000 +/- word intervals, quests and personal sagas will take longer, RPing will be less like RPing and more like fanfic, and RPing with others will be discouraged.

Serious Raj, your probably a nice guy, but you really have a holier than thou attitude.

I noticed it from one of the other Fallen members.

This topic was created to discuss the changes that are happening. Everyone who posts here has a voice on the matter, wether it be a good one or a bad one.

That is democracy at work my friend.

I still say changing the system we have now will seriously irritate Alex loyal members. If we are going to mix the two sites, then another area maybe better to integrate. Otherwise you may risk alienating the rest of ADBZRPG loyal members? Just a quick opinion and not meant to annoy or offend anyone.

I do not know what to tell you then, friend. Why does it matter how many posts you have with the same number of words as you would have in one single post? If you go above and beyond the post count, you are rewarded for it all the same. We're not trying to write novels here.

Too true, a lot of us could have upped sticks and left with the other members who chose to leave the site, but we decided to stay.

Even me, who had several run in with Alex in the past

Isn't the point of Roleplaying to be...gasp...roleplaying?

Not posting random blurbs about nothingness?

I can't speak for everyone, nor will I try, but if you want to write, then a text based RPG is what you should be on, if you want to play meaningless, dialog and no true story games, then you should probably try something like Britney's Dance Beat.

You can disagree all you want, I don't mind. It's these snide little comments that are pissing me off. The mere fact that you have to resort to name calling only show that you're, what, 12?

Did you even read what I said?

If you're posting like 2000 words a post, it's just fanfiction, not RP.

Ok can we stop this before we end up flaming?

Now I don't see the problem here. What is the change here? The old members can still post as they want, the new people as they want. For both groups nothing is changing.

Secondly; who really reads other people's rp posts anyway? The whole reason for the short posts is because the staff doesn't have to read, but can simply count the posts. Honestly I am no better then that. I usually don't even read my own posts.

Thirdly; as everyone seems to agree is that this is all about fun. So why are we fighting about something as silly as how much words are put in one post?

Honestly what is the difference between 5x300 or 1x1500? Nobody is going to read it anyway.

Though I would like to add; when collabing with someone else it should be agreed upon how to do the posts. When you write 1500 words a post and someone else 300 that can be annoying and visa versa. So when playing with multiple persons I think it should be agreed upon beforehand.

Otherwise I don't think there really is a problem, besides people being afraid of change. It is weird; usually the fear of change is much bigger then the fear for what is actually changing. <_<

Omg, you are so right Gohan, but at 150 posts at 300 words a peice, that means you've written over 150,000 words...guess you shouldn't be here then....

Please don't double post Reijin unless in the RP area.

As for throwing up something huge...why waste so much effort making a novel-sized 'fanfiction' instead of using your 'skills' to write a novel?
