We're not professional writers, and we damn sure don't have professional editors. I've seen a few issues with some of your posts that have made me wanna pull my hair out from time to time. Though it usually doesn't effect anything, so I keep my mouth shut about it to be polite. After all, if it still leaves people enough to work with and can be understood, then what is the issue? <br/><br/>Which is strangely enough a good topic for me to poke in my two cents. You're gonna have to put a little more effort behind that two sentence post. I require at-least a paragraph in any game I run. I'd prefer it to be littered with typos and errors then incomplete. For reference sake a paragraph is four to six full sentences. In my book anyhow.<br/><br/>As for Changing, that will certainly do. And no worries, buddy.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"I don't have much to work with... 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."
