Like Kit said, none would take initiative (me included, that's sad, sorry to say so). Unless we increase the quality of the posts, nothing can be done. To improve? Increase the length of each post, indirectly that will increase the details. A more detailed plot is vital at this point, since everything is going round and round eventually will die out. Have patients. Since Wolf's the leader, get him to discuss. We all get together and discuss with him. It's not easy and will take a few days but tolerate for the rp's sake. You can take the rp going on between Kit and me as an example. It's still new and going on very slow. We took hours just to get the outline and few more for the plot. The rp takes us one day to make a post. The link is on my siggy. Ian, I'm watching Resurgam. I keep thinking about joining, but then chicken out. I'll probably join eventually, however. Anyway, for me to start making longer posts, others will need to, or else I won't see any reason. I mean, I always try to keep my posts at a paragraph minimum, here at least, but that's sort of getting harder. Quite a bit of that's my lack of will to bother with details, however. In short, I see your (by which I mean you and Kit) point. And I'll start trying to improve, at least. And Bacon, it's undead. Seriously, it died during GW, and then it took ages to revive it. And now it's wavering between interesting and not so much, in my opinion. I still consider it better than the Spacefleet one, however, if only because that roleplay moves too quickly for me to want to keep posting, which is why I stopped doing so. ShadeShade! *glomps* xD .. your roleplaying is pretty good, really. You're one of the few reasons that make me want to come back and roleplay here. |

It's me to blame. I have Kit to correct my mistakes on each post. Regarding how much mistakes I'm making, it's even longer. Yea, i fret too when Kit suggest a 350 words per post. That was how we ended up with 350.. |

And I like how you and Ian came up with the word limit for Resurgam. |

My MS Word has trouble with everything I do. I write 'The wall is blue.' and it comes up with about 50 grammar mistakes. DX. But I triiiiiiieeeeeed. *kicks tantrum* It's a stupid laptop but I love it so much.
On a side note, Latin is awesome. My teacher, not so much.

If you look at the first few pages of the first roleplay, you can see how my skills have improved between then and the end of that same roleplay. |

Lingua Latini optima est!  ...there are probably about fifty things wrong with that sentence XD |

Wolf - Is that Ikkin or the Elementalists? Either one would be good, at this point. It's actually neither. I'll choose at this point to say no more, however. I hope you understand. Otherwise, I think it best if roleplay-related discussion is kept to the RP OoC thread. And I feel flattered, Pyro and Shade. :) Thanks. Lastly, never listen to MS Word. It has horrible grammar. It's spellcheck is okay for most words (it doesn't know some, so watch out for these and keep dictionary.com bookmarked and a dictionary at your desk... I do both), but beware of it's grammar. It's wrong half the time and has no sense of artistic presentation, which is the worst, I think. |

I hate MS Word's grammar. I only keep the grammar-check on to catch mistakes like too many spaces between words or accidental subject-verb disagreement.

Yeah, that's probably the only thing it's worth. Though, I admit, sometimes it does make me think of a better way to say something, even if only because I have to go back and rewrite it because it messed up my grammar so badly. *shrugs* Who programmed it anyways, rogue Meepits migrating across the keyboard?

Hate MS Word. *fistshake* *error message: MS Word has encountered a problen and needs to close etc etc* Drat! *chews on her screen*
I get 'Fragment: Consider Revising?' all the time. Even with full sentences. grr.

I like it when it finally says something to the effect of "MS Word as encountered too many grammar problems and can no longer display them all."
I set down my keyboard and thank the gods when this happens.

I find that extreme over-use of a comma confuses the grammar check into thinking even fragments and such are perfect sentences, so that's what I recommend if you get that. Comma, comma, comma.
But if you overdo it, on second thought, it might have the reverse effect. But hey, you never know until you try.
