NPF Avatars Discussion: The noise of Glub glub gurgle... - Page 9

I would like to make a protest about this idea, and state that if everybody posted more the game would go a whole lot smoother.

The point Newb is some people don't have enough time to do that.

Besides, if everyone posted at such high speed, no-one would have any idea of what was going on. 9 pages was bad enough for those people who missed a bit. What would 20 be like? Its unsustainable, especially with a group of this size in multiple different time zones. You need a slower pace simply to have meaningful character interaction.

And where would I fit in, then? I'm posting when most of you are not. If everybody posted 10+ posts while I'm asleep, I'd might as well get out of the RP altogether. There'd be no way i would be able to catch up, or I would have to have a set of solo missions, which is impossible because of the enemies I might face.

Nah, a limit is best. Ofcourse, it's all up to Rhiya, but I'm sure she'll agree.

Ehh...I have my posts per page set to 40, so I have no problem reading it in one go.

Anyway, the main reason I have a distaste for post limits is that it tends to slow an RP down. I think it would be better for people just to limit themselves, rather than just make an official limit.

What? You weak fools!! I can read 20 pages of posts within a few minutes!
I read the first three harry potter books with an average of 1 hour each! I've considered reading the dictionary to show off!

I do get the feeling that more people jumped on than neccessary. Remeber that superhero rp ways back? There were too many people and it died because we didn't know who or where everyone was!

Melfice · 01-14-2006, 12:24 PM

Oh, Ecurt. We're a bunch of heroes of varying alignment, from Lawful Good, to Chaotic Evil, but that... that there? Yeah. You win the price, man.

A Hamtaro army. If we manage to get out of the way of the charging rodents, Melfice'll buy you an ale at the nearest tavern. That is, if I ever find out it was you, who summoned them,

PyrosNine · 01-14-2006, 12:59 PM

Yay! CREATE THE HAMTARO OF LIFE! BUILD THE AMAZING RODENT ARMY OF DOOM! FOR GREAAT JUSTICE!

It's so crazy, it's snuggably cute and while not quite nearly as marketable as PyrosNine plushies!

Hamtaro! When we work together it's much better! MY BEST FRIEND! We like sunflower seeds call em crum crum-

I agree with the four posts a day limit. It makes it easier for everyone to keep up with the storyline. I wouldn't mind going even smaller-- say three a day-- but whatever works for Rhiya.

HAMTARO CLONES!! An army of cuddly death, wrapped in the guise of a thousand big-eyed hamsters!! I love it! The forces of darkness (and of semi-evil sunflower seeds) will tremble before our might! TREMBLE, I SAY!

PyrosNine · 01-14-2006, 04:32 PM

what? you dare bring up string theory? It's so full of crap that even flies are offended by it! Such theories are merely created by atheists in an attempt to undermine us wizard folk and Gods!

THey're trying to get the world to answer to the question "What the hell did that?" with the Answer "String theory!", rather than "A wizard did it" or "Must be Pyros and Raiden having a prank war."

You'll be lucky if Raiden doesn't reduce you ashes for mentioning it!

hmmm, I suppose it's a good thing that I threw the matches at pyros and not pyrosnine, seeing as how he seems to be a little irritable at the moment
