Bombie Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just now, Lmao said: There is harm in increasing it, an already filled chatbox at a club will be 10 times worse, since people are obnoxious and do 700 character /mes in clubs and bars, without utilizing /melow. I would prefer not enabling these sorts of people to continue this behaviour, it can get very frustrating. I do see your point there ?? 1 Link to comment

Whats the deal with you mentioning ERP for the second time? Do you not get enough of it, or whats up? Firstly, ERP is just like any other kind of RP. Why do you feel a need to call people out for it? They dont bother you in any way, so dont bother them. Secondly, i didnt have ERP in mind when i made this suggestion. In my opinion, it would be beneficial for all RP styles. If you want to write more than 250 characters in a single message, why shouldnt you be able to? Worst case the other party will /report you for 'stalling RP' or whatever. If you want to write less than 250? This isnt stopping you from doing it. Thirdly, yes, you could follow up with a /do but as i said, chances are you will get other people's messages between your /me and your /do which will make it harder for other to follow what you're saying, if they arent paying attention. Chances are you will also try to rush your /do. I do agree that it could cause issues in clubs etc where the chat moves really quickly. But this could be avoided by /melow Link to comment
khadijeh. Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 More characters could be useful but not really sure why it would be needed. Indifferent on this. End of the day, just try breaking up your RP lines, send them in sections. For example, by breaking that RP up you give the other person a chance to interact instead of being in complete control of the situation. Utilizing /do can be good too. That way, you give the other people a moment to read the first 3 lines instead of it all at once. They can begin typing their response. Adding more characters to single messages will just make some scenarios drag on a little and that is something I am not a fan of. Link to comment
owen Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) As a general rule, in my opinion, I would recommend you keep your text concise and to the point. Longer sentences can often become cumbersome and unwieldy. This not only disrupts the flow of role-play — because longer messages take longer to produce — but it also creates communication difficulties. Avoiding verbose replies will maintain the flow of role-play, avoid confusion and make for more enjoyable reading. Once you create a long, convoluted message, it is then left on the other player to dissect what you have said, how you have said it nd what you are trying to convey — creating a long message makes the other player have so sit there and pause the role play to reply to your message, which in-turn creates a very long, awkward pause and as said above, disrupts the flow of the scene. I'm not opposed to upping it slightly, but five hundred words are not needed and instead, initiate creative writing and put effort into small doses of text, rather than a long, drawn out paragraph.

Shekh Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Give an example of a 250+ /me. I want to see what that looks like as i’ve literally never seen anybody hit the limit. Link to comment

Once lit, he inhales the fumes deep into his lungs, smirking before letting out a huge cloud of smoke around the group. He then begins to smoke on the backwood, hitting it periodically, getting himself intoxicated... I still think this a stupid idea tho, cus nobody wants to read /me's that long lmaoo Link to comment

No joke if someone rped /me’s like that i would avoid interactions with them completely. It’s literally seperate actions why do them in the same /me. And half that shit could be simplified 100x.

Hopout Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I just dont think its practical for the size of the chat box, was probably the exact reason they limit it on most RP servers. If you really want to get descriptive just add another /me in between. It can even give the other players in the scene a chance to chime in with expressions of their own to make the RP that much better. Instead of waiting for 45 seconds. Sometimes the description is necessary depending on the roleplay that's for sure. But if you are using more than one sentance for something such as lighting a cigarette or buying a beer, or any other mundane task that litterally effects no one elses rp... Your efforts will probably go unnoticed. Especially in crowded environments. /me twists the cap off his beer, he then tilts his head back letting the liquid pour into his mouth. /me sips on a beer. Two different sentences, but create the exact same image in your mind to understand what the person is RPing. Link to comment
