As all of you may be aware of, many RPers have a bad habit of posting one liners.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but, honestly, I think you could at least throw something out there a few sentences long. If you have a problem that forces you to post a sentence when others can post multiple paragraphs, you could always get help from other members on posting longer. It's not required, but it makes the RPing much more unique and stunning when you see fairly detailed moves, rather than slang terms that we would use now, rather than being more distinct for those that may not read English very well, much less speak it.
Again, if you have something preventing you from giving more than one line, then say-so. Because it's attracting an odd swing of RPing where everyone is slowly typing more and more one liners. We may turn into something that resembles Furcadia (I won't tell anyone why I used this for a reference unless I'm asked.)

Agreed. I can atest that it is much more difficult to reply to one liners. If you're a bit stupped then make up even some extra little description of how your character is acting or moving or looks. So much as a detail in how they express themselves by gesturing with their hands or a tilt of the head or the lifting of an eyebrow can make all the difference.
Please make it a habit to aim for three sentences or more. We're not trying to dissuade you from roleplaying, but you will get much more fulfilling responses and character developmet this way.

I agree with you guys. One liners are not a good idea, and it's a bad habit to get into.
However, because of how many roleplays I'm in and the amount of time I am allowed on the computer, there will be situations where I have to post a one liner. I rarely do it anymore, but, as I said, it's only when I have to post something in each of the rps I am in. That and, because I'm a senior in my high school and I'm going to be busy up until I graduate in May, I can only post when I find a chance to get on.
I'm not trying to make excuses, but, do you think you can keep this in mind with some of the members? I would put a limit to how many one-liners you can do a week for those who are always busy. This way, those who only have a small amount of time on can still post but, if they hit that three one liner limit, they have to post longer paragraphs to make up for it, as I do when I am gone for a while.
