No, I don't think the OOC and IC are equally important. The IC is more important than the OOC because, well, you need an IC thread to actually have a rp right?
As someone who's been the GM of several role-plays, a few of which have gone quite a ways, I believe it depends on general activity. Whether it be in the IC or the OOC, there has to be activity. If the RP begins to grow inactive and players are posting less and less, people begin to lose...
This was about a little LARP me and my friends did.

Sounds interesting. I'll be working on one tonight I hope. I also made a Skyrim like RP about a demonic apocalypse. Zombies and demons every where. The name is The End of Days
I prefer a group over 1x1 greatly. Also, I don't know why but I have a profound love for the realistic/modern (school and zombie apocalypse) and for some reason fantasy (medieval time period). I usually go with realistic/modern though.
