With all due respect Reijin,

I think that Gohan does have a point. We aren't trying to RP novels. Which with the system you are thinking of adding is implying. If you raise the minimum word limit you will run the risk of alienating several members and thus the site is just taken over by Fallen. We don't want that we want an even system with you guys. WE want to be active with you guys. But we need to compromise on things being adjusted or added. I think that would be the fairest way to do it. Unless....

We get no opinion to upcoming changes, and this thread is irrelevant?

Is it?

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....

I once had a 150ish post count RP with an ex-member.

Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly, but it seems like this is already going to be changed.

I think Alex should ask us what we want before applying anything to the site.

Like I said, we have been been loyal to Alex, him being loyal back and asking us for our thoughts instead of changing everything for the Fallen side of things.

I think all the members of Alex's are in agreement about nothing changing. But Fallen members want things to change. We are at a stalemate, it seems.

You can not write a legitmate post in 300 words.

I'd love to see someone write a story with 300 word posts that makes any sort of sense without it being a post every 10 minutes and no being choppy.

The 300 word rule is really just to encourage roleplaying with others. Not only that, it makes the actual story seem more like a book with pages. Each page tends to lead on to more that needs to be said to complete a story, right?


I stand by that. :lol:

Also, quick question. How do you expect for anyone to jump into a certain part of a story if it's being posted in large blocks? If let's say I jumped into a story between your posts, wouldn't that have an impact on your next post?

Basically what I'm saying, if you made 2 post into 1 (600 word post count), then others wouldn't be able to join in around that 300 word count part in the story. That's why I say that the current system, discourages rping alone compared to rping with others. And we all know, rping with others is more enjoyable.

One more thing... you say that once you're in the groove, how are you expected to stop, post and possibly lose that groove?

You're not being forced to stop. You can continue on with another post. I find it hard for you to lose your ideas in a matter of 30 seconds. If you do, then somethings wrong with you. (No offense)

Why not do what I do then if you're afraid of losing your groove and plot out what you want to do in a timeline?

I think it's just best if we agree to disagree. We'll do it our way, you guys do it your way.

Ow comon. This is just being ridiculous. Are we really going to blow this whole thing off for something as silly as how to post? Not even considering that is based on a misunderstanding?

Comon Rejin, calm down and think a bit more clearly. I know you are a good guy and your actions right now are not "you".

=O

I am calm xD

I just mean, I think that we should stop yelling at each other over something not within our control. I know you all know, just as well as I do, that in the end it comes down to Alex's vote. (at least I think I know that <.< ).

I just figure it might be best to allow the owner of the rpg to voice his opinion before we try to go to each other's throat.

:) exactly.

I agree with Rejin. Shall we all agree to stop attacking each other and await what Alex thinks?

It might make it a bit easier to live and breath here.

However, bear in mind it isn't fair to change something just because some new people pop on the site, leaving the senior members in the dust. As I said, so far I only see Fallen members wanting what happens on Fallen when it comes to rewards, while Alex's want to keep things as is.

And I completely agree.

I just don't want people to think that I want to make Alex's, Fallen Version 2. I thought that everyone would like to be rewarded on their total word count rather than total post count, so I apologized if I offended everyone.

I'll be playing nicely from now on, don't worry.

EDIT: Sorry, Pan, didn't see you had locked this.

Generally majority should rule. You made an effort to argue your side of things, as did the other Fallen members. But as you can see, change is not something people are in favor of, especially not something that affects everyone and everything they do. But also remember, WE, that is to say the members of Alex's, are not trying to push you Fallen members away. Some of us have actually come from sites that had no word count, or come from chat RPs, so they have to acclimate to a word minimum. Perhaps instead of making the majority change, the minority should attempt to acclimate themselves to the system they are entering? However, the topic will remain locked until Alex can take a look at things. -Pan

Actually before this even happened some people suggested taking away the post count and making it into a word count so I am thinking that it is fitting that it should be changed. Personal Roleplays and Sagas will probably come down to a word count as a measure of rewards.

Quests, on the other hand, will most likely become a combination of word count and post count. Right now, it also has a "day count" as in you need to post for a certain amount of days. Instead I am thinking there will be a minimum word count to complete the quest but also a minimum number of posts that it should span over instead of putting a number of days you need to post.
