It really, reallllllly irritates me when I ask people to follow simple rules and they cannot follow it. For example, I had a rule in my RP that asked the users to create at least five sentences(or a paragraph). The reason for this is it give the rp more detail and gives the users more to go off of, rather then this:
POST1: John walked up to betty and said "hi"
POST2: Betty said "Hi, how are you"
POST3: John responded "I'm good, let's go trolling."
and so on and so forth.
I know not all users have the ability to make three or four paragraph responses, but I assumed everyone could write five sentences.
Another thing I hate during rping, is when you make it literally impossible for your post to go anywhere. Having one sentence posts are usually included in this, but the worst is when you copy someone's posts, edit it so that it suits your character, and then let the post not go anywhere.
How is any user supposed to make a response to that. Seriously? You magically fall from the sky and appear in front of the other characters. It doesn't work that way.
/rant
I feel better now. XD

If five sentences are needed,how are the supposed to talk? People does normally not say five sentences each when they talk.

its simple, watching me do it right now:
Kimmy Blinked a bit in shock of his response(1). She typed furiously away at her keyboard to no avail(2). She wanted to remain calm reguarding Ditto's response, but her blood was boiling at this point(3). " What do you mean how are they supposed to talk?!(4) She asked him, "Its really, really easy to write a response that includes text in it!"(5)
There you go, Five sentences, two being the chat talk I can make it longer though it you want

Something i would like to say is that it isnt very likely that ten people will write in your rp.

everyone is entitled to their opinions, and my opinion is that I'm ok with it, as long as I have people who would at least take my rp rules in consideration

RP's have rules they should be followed I agree with Kimmy fully. I've had the same annoyance when people tended to F up Mewgia's story too

XD I am sorry if a broke your rule (not sure if I was 1 of them) but make it 3 sentences, because it is hard to talk. It does anoy me with 1 sentence responces though.

Hear Hear Kimmy. 5 sentences isn't that hard. You've gotthe setting around you, how your character feels about what the other is saying, their thoughts on other things...I myself find it hard not to write a paragraph or to on each response.
Don;t focus on just the conversation, but thers things aswell like I said above and it should be fine. Though I do suggest Kimmy to make it into a 'short paragraph' (ie 2-4 lines), instead of set sentences, as some people like to write long sentences and such.
But yeah in the end rules are rules, and you need to try and follow them. The occasionally slip up due to lack of muse should be okay, but yeah if you try you'll find that in the end you won;t have much propblem writing that amount eventually.

It truly isn't. I was expecting people to give maybe 5 Paragraph responses at the most in Rising star. Mewthree suprised me with half a page and then another fourth of a page! lol It wasn't against the rules, I was just like "wow, thats a good story"

My opinion on this is if someone wants to post on an rp that is already started they have to follow the rules but 1 less sentence a few times never killed anyone did it?

no, of course not.
But if you hijack someones thread and continually post one sentence replies, then yes its a problem

I agree with Shiny Hunt I am not saying that 5 sentences is hard but what if people are busy and don't want to hold people up and make them wait for their post (I hate that) so sometimes people may HAVE to just post something to keep the conversation going IE Person 1:"Well hell mr. Hovey" said Charles as he was sipping champaine. "I did not know that you were accustmed to these kinds of eventes what makes you come here. He says while using eye to eye contact. He waits patiently for his answer. ****1 week later**** ((Sorry for the short post I am on a vacation and don't have alot of time at my PC)) Person 2:"well I always thought I should try something new Haven't you ever fedlt that way" I added types for special effects
