If you ask me to keep going, I'm going to end up stepping on DM toes, because my next actions are stated in the rolls below my post. My post is complete... Would you like me to assume I have numerous actions, because if you would, I will take several actions, Kit will be safely out of danger, and so (likely) will I. That, however, wouldn't be fair, if my Fort save failed and I am asleep, or dazed, or losing constitution, or paralyzed, or any number of things I cannot predict."<br/><br/>"I can't speak, since I presumably have one round of actions, which I spent casting Mage Armor, and I don't actually know if I will complete the spell, since the Fort save happened first. I think it's more insulting for me to post a whole paragraph of assumptions on my actions, than to simply make a short post, and then continue to take actions as I am allowed at a later time. Otherwise, that post literally shows every action I plan to take, and has several rolls for what Kit is going to attempt given a number of possibilities."<br/><br/>"I don't mean to be disrespectful in the slightest, but I find the arbitrary call that all posts (regardless of circumstance and intention) should have a certain amount of 'sentences' (which alone can be arbitrary, as I can write four complete sentences using 4 words and be completely grammatically sound), to be a pointless exercise. If you insist, you will find that all I have to write is 'purple prose', which is a waste of other peoples' time to read."<br/><br/>"Excuse my rant, it's a build-up of dislike for a certain type of elitism (which this may not be, I am not being accusatory) in role-playing, where some RPers would prefer to waste my time with extraneous text just because they want to say they are 'better' writers or RPers... So, if you insist, I will edit the text, but you can move on with the RP, because it will still say the same thing, just with pretty, pointless sentences to act as padding."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>My former comment about about you poking at the other players writing is the same thing. I hate elitism, but all you have technically done is a standard action. A full round is six seconds. As far as what I'm telling you to do, that is merely giving the other writers something to write to. I've mentioned the same thing to changingsaint. If you decide that a full paragraph in a critical moment is enough for several rounds of actions, then I'll simply ignore those that do not count.<br/><br/>Now onto another issue. Despite your disclaimer at the bottom, I do not appreciate being the butt end of your rant. A full sentence can not be one word, try to give that a publisher and see what happens. A sentence by definition, is simply a full thought. You could technically have at-least six of these in a six second period. Your mage armor is a standard action, while yes that could be your full round, if I let people do this on occasion then it'll simply become a trend, and we won't get anything done because I don't have time to post here all damn day.<br/><br/>I don't see why you blew up at me for what I said, especially after giving unasked critique to the other players, but I do not appreciate it. What is wrong? Are you upset about something? If you are, please private message me with what is egging at you so we do not butt heads in the OOC.
