Other Is a paragraph enough?

[CastoffCaptain]

One liner....

A more in-depth one liner comes from Shakespeare.

"He died."

That's a one-liner, though. "My mother is a fish" is quite literally a chapter.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

I honestly still felt it to be a one liner. What interaction do I have in response? The fact that no I have to do more work to respond to a character just wandering around and then thrown into another location.

Am I saving your character? Or am I saving the rp from a one liner?

It sets up for possible interactions. You can do anything.

So I have to do all the work?

If that was an opening post there wouldn't exactly have been people around to interwact with at the time now would there?

And another thing: I have in fact done a good amount of work as I have now set up the stance for how my character will react to interactions as he is currently in an unfamiliar environment.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

That's sad and discouraging.

In my opinion.

Also I included quite a bit of world building in that paragraph.

Super Villain Nova also you appear to have ignored this:

"Oof."

The impact hadn't affected Grant much but he had almost knocked the smaller boy down.

"Sorry about that." He said quickly. "It's completely my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going and- your ring is glowing." Grant said this in a rather nonchalant manner as if it happened all the time. In truth it wasn't the strangest thing he'd ever seen. The ring looked kind of familiar, though. It almost looked similar to... "The dome?" Grant wondered. "You wouldn't happen to come from the dome would you?" This was directed at the other boy.

 

[Hall Kervean]

Next to the machine, the captain spotted a half-complete drawing of the crew at a table and everyone bantering except one member. The only person not talking was Kagaya Killiaka, who was also the only person who was deeply shaded. Next to the presumably incomplete drawing was a cup belonging to Bradley Cooper, one of the two biologists aboard, partially filled with water. Given the sideways glares the aide was giving the cup, it was probably intended to be used for coffee. There was a fandom argument between the other technician’s aide and the technical specialist that had been carried out via sticky note under his nose and the two lance corporals had kept their combat suits stored in a pair of lockers.

Five word paragraph, again.


Full paragraph:

His fingers tensed against the bright blue pad on the door before sliding them across the width of the door. There was a distinct pop and a quiet hum before the door vanished. The hardlight barrier between the bridge and the belly had deactivated, leaving the entrance wide open. Without a glance backwards the captain put his arm to his side and made his way out of the confining cockpit and into the cramped corridor that let him choose to go right or left with the knowledge both led to the same place. His decision held no weight, and so the ethereal decision to go left led him to the belly of the ship; a comparatively large compartment with a round table in the center, used for meetings, reports, communications, and putting objects onto, and traces of everyone able to be seen somewhere in the hub. He saw Aria VonPart sitting in the corner on a seat, flipping pages on an old paperback book about the weight of counsel on the counselor and the counseled. He wasn’t a psychologist, but he could tell she was definitely feeling affected by the book. He internally quipped that it was most likely what the book said that was affecting her and gave a small smirk at himself. He was distracted by a loud bang and a grunt of pain, accomplishment, or frustration, it was hard to tell, coming from his left. He saw one of the technician’s aides fixing a coffee machine… or, more accurately, “fixing.” Next to the machine, the captain spotted a half-complete drawing of the crew at a table and everyone bantering except one member. The only person not talking was Kagaya Killiaka, who was also the only person who was deeply shaded. Next to the presumably incomplete drawing was a cup belonging to Bradley Cooper, one of the two biologists aboard, partially filled with water. Given the sideways glares the aide was giving the cup, it was probably intended to be used for coffee. There was a fandom argument between the other technician’s aide and the technical specialist that had been carried out via sticky note under his nose and the two lance corporals had kept their combat suits stored in a pair of lockers. The only person who hadn’t left a trace in the room was Ken Long, their documenter.

Super Villain Nova also you appear to have ignored this:

No I didn't.
I just used the better example.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

In my opinion... again stating what I prefer.. I would rather have the long post response then the lesser half.

When you hand in an essay do you hand in a paragraph? Or a fully essay expressing how you feel or even stating the facts on the subject?

 

[BackSet]

No I didn't.
I just used the better example.

You mean the better example to help prove your point, correct? I have given two examples of paragraphs. One worked well and the other did not (which doesn't really matter because I cheated and stole it from a larger post). However since one worked well it proves that paragraphs can be informative and in depth.

I would also like to point out that I am very much a reactive roleplayer, preferring to let the action come to me. I like to give people the choice wether or not to interact with my character thus I leave my character open for any kind of interaction the other people want.

I have written paragraph long essays. They have gotten good grades.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

Excuse me for wanting to have quality and quantity in responses to my posts.

To me these are all one liners that I feel cheated out of good quality work.

Yes, I never asked for a novel, but I do like detail and post I can really get into.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

The first one posed as still me doing all the work in creating a good story for an rp. I mentioned on page one... everyone has their own way of rping.

That was detail. And again, the second example doesn't really count due to being part of a larger whole. And for your information I had quality in the first example. Quantity is secondary.

Explain or your point is moot.

 

[BackSet]

I would like to point out that I'm less upset about this argument and more upset about you calling my work lackluster. You don't seem to care about quality at all. Only paragraph count.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

To me they were both lacking. If I got that as a response I would drop the rp. To me that's the other person saying... I don't care in character development or story development. Why was he there? What is he trying to do? I'm not sure it doesn't say...

Wow you're either really bad at this or I'm an idiot because I still don't understand. I was asking for a specific explanation as to why the first example was lackluster because it wasn't!

 

[Super Villain Nova]

Should I go back to being sarcastic as you asked for serious.

 

[BackSet]

Should I go back to being sarcastic as you asked for serious.

I... Didn't ask for serious. I was just commenting on your offense that I was criticizing your style of roleplay despite you criticizing mine.

Now could you please explain in simple terms why you thought the first example was lackluster.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

I could respond to that.... but then I would feel like I would have to drop to your level of response for that post... I don't think it's fair that I have to dull down my creativity to your level. If I want quality and quality I find rpers like me.

If I want to dull down my responses and not put any effort into these characters I have created I would join one liner rpers where a paragraph is over doing it.

 

[Super Villain Nova]

Was that better?
