I suggest that the guidelines for expanding content in one's post ought to be more constructive. Give people something to work with. For example, suggest finding a part of the environment that hasn't been described yet.

That is definitely the down side to this.
People really don't want to write that much, and feel pressured to do so...
I have split emotion about this, but I do want to see more descriptions used, but I don't want to see poeple leave!

If you can't conform to 50+ words for at least 90% of your posts, you need to rethink Board RPing. Keep it to IM RPs, in the latter case.

I can easily strech it, but I can't strech a simple question, after the scene was set up. Without godmodding >_>

Ya. Dialogue between 2 people might be tough. Even if the scene could be expanded upon, I don't want to just have my charecter say "Yes they are" then cut off into some description of the scene.
Though outside of dialogue like that I probably won't have a problem.
What's the rule now? 50 words or a paragraph?

It's not difficult to reach the minimum, no, not at all, but having to create additional abstract conditions (such as length of time between posts, refreshing descriptions) that one has to consider that will affect the very content that one intends to produce is something else altogether.

Can't do much though. All I did was kindly ask them to read over the rules.
Anyways, just thought I ought to be a good Lawyer Wannabe and post here.

But seriously I bring it up because I think we need to crackdown on the word-limit to it.
At the time of posting in the most recent RP, the three latest posts have under 12 with the fewest having 7. Frankly it reads silly and uninteresting which is a shame as the concept seemed alright.
Though these posts read like a primary school Biff Chip and Kipper book.
Now I know many of us are good posters who provide enriching content to an RP with decent-length posts.
But in the light of the old Forum's revival I think the rules have been overlooked, and maybe we should redirect some people to the practice RP topic so we can enrich everyone's roleplay experience which can suffer without proper content and length.

Though I'm sure the current RPs have a general lack of writing, I'll risk saying that it's because the involved have more fun developing the story than actually writing it out perfectly. I can relate to that (although I have even more fun when the story being told is actually well-written out too). I even believe that most of the people that play using one or two sentences can do way more than that, if they feel like it.
Granted, whenever an RP is created here, it HAS to abide to the paragraph rule, or minimum words rule, that is present here in this thread.
So yeah, I agree with you. We need to reinforce its influence.

It's not a just a matter of it being fun when it detracts from the experience of the others.
For example someone is busy writing a rule-abiding post with length and detail and finds out that by the time they are done, 3 posts have applied at this length:
Jake walked north "Follow me!" he said.
Bob nodded "Sure thing" he said
Jesse walked after Jake and Bob "Wait up" she said.
Plus in more action-orientated scenes this can leave people out while Jake Jesse and Bob orchestrate an small fight while other characters are left at the sidelines.
Additionally I don't think multiple characters should really count towards the word-limit.
5 characters of 10 words each for one person still doesn't really add much detail or is any different from the old problems.

You know, like when all of us were going 'GO IRIS!' in the original Ace College Student. XD
Er, that is, an OOC talk with an actual post. Obviously there shouldn't be any posts in an RP that just has an OOC comment. XD
