Phewf.
After some concerns were brought to me, I've gone ahead and changed around the rules again. I apologize for coming to you with another edit so soon after the first, but I want to be transparent about making changes around here.
I've changed the 'one paragraph' rule to be a 100 word rule, and edited it so that you must have 100 words in a post to be able to submit it in the IC Role Play sections. This is for a couple of reasons:
- As a role player, it's difficult to respond to posts containing fewer than 100 words. Role playing is a collaborative activity, so you should give your partners something to work with.
- To prevent spamming in the role play areas. In essence, all writing on Terrea will eventually lead to my time and effort as an artist, and I don't want that to be earned through spam.
I don't mind the way in which you structure your 100 words (or more) per post. My intent isn't to be restrictive, simply to encourage creativity and play through collaborative writing in this world we're creating together. I don't want people simply putting up with role playing and powering through 10 words at a time just to earn Coins. I want players to participate and have fun in this place.
In the same vein, I've also added a 'no spamming' rule. It's basically just that you should wait for somebody else to respond before posting again, regardless of the section, excluding journal-style role play posts or solo role plays. If nobody has responded in a game in 24 hours, though, you're free to bump it.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this.
