I'd like to direct everyone to section IV.iii of the site rules:
This is not a new expectation; those of you who looked at the second version of the rules will remember this:
I understand using filler threads in fight threads, given that they're paced at an entirely different level and need to come to a conclusion before ending. Heck, I've done it myself. But the fact that numerous people have been using one-line posts outside of fights is unacceptable. Just because it's the Games and you've been reaped doesn't mean that you can disregard the general expectations of the site. Even if the paragraph is the worst writing you've ever done, even if it's no more than a summary of what the "real" post would be, just spit out a paragraph.
I know I've been letting it slide, but I'm not anymore because it really is affecting the Games. This is an RP site, and the Games are no exception. From now on, if your only post on a given Day is a one-line filler, I won't count it as your mandatory post for the day.
Thank you.
Article IV. Roleplaying
iii. A minimum of one good-length paragraph is expected for each response. More is preferable.
This is not a new expectation; those of you who looked at the second version of the rules will remember this:
There is no required post length, but please make it acceptable and more than just a line. Would you want to put a lot of work in a post and then get '"OMG HAHA LOLZ" said {insert character here}' as a reply? Because I know I wouldn't.
