You're ridiculously impatient. wink

JK... Sorry, I don't know what to post with Tetsu since he's outside of the barrier still... I was just going to wait. Perhaps the invasion should have a time that it commences at. So that way Tetsu can just go there himself.

I posted. Plus, my character is so filler it saddens me, so I really can't help you there.

To be fair, I have been waiting on some people for over a week. >.>

Well, I admit that's justified.

Still, the standard for posting is too high, I think. I'm not talking standard as in required limit to be fulfilled, I mean the want to match the other guy's wall of text with your own (from my observation - I mean, does anyone really NEED to have at LEAST a 1k post each time?). I've noticed text pile up and the dialogue/thought ratio go unnaturally high in thought (or description) but lower in dialogue.

Dan: Fool, that is one it is meant to do!
*repeatedly stabs tickles Taiga with pitchfork*

@Demon: Not really, I think the minimum is 200-300 words-- in my opinion. The 'my post is longer than yours' is only a contest of sorts. There's no real need to do it, it's just fun I guess. 3nodding

Here's my point, though - since people post longer (not for contest, of course, because the longest post thing is a record setting deal) for fun, they need to set aside enough time to do it. Therefore, they might just pop in to see what's happening and leave because they don't feel like making a huge a** post. I've seen it before, and I think it might apply here (just from my observation).

True, true, however, I think those that partake in these kinds of lengthy post are responsible enough to know when to simply cut it short, just so the story can move on-- with the exception of me of course.

I guess it all boils down to whether or not the person wants to post or not, regardless of length, since if I sincerely want to post, I get type out a quick 500 word post in 10-15min or so. However, if I'm not in the mood, it will of course take me some time to even churn out a 200 word post.

No, no one needs to at all. In fact, I often set out to write very short posts, but as I begin writing, I get more ideas and keep adding to it. It's called elaboration and being a good writer and desiring to go beyond the limit.

As Dante falsely stated, the minimum is 200 300 words, which is next to nothing, really. You may notice that posts are starting to thin out from those massive posts at the re-start of the arc, which means the "excitement" from my giant slap-you-in-face post is dying off. I've expressly stated to several other members that I do not expect 800+ on a regular basis; I simply don't want to see 200-300 word posts every single time. It bores me. ._.

@Dante: -melts pitchfork with finger-
@Ichi: I've been waiting on Dante, who is waiting on Virgil. After thinking about it, it's been far past a week for some. ._.
