One of those /1 /2 critique threads.

I think it's ridiculous to equate quality roleplay with the amount of typed letters. To me, roleplay is highly situational and depending on context, e.g. a big brawl is going on, a Bounty Hunter approaches and instead of telling us his life story in 11 paragraphs, he just says "Jumping right in"... The "jumping right in" is - to me - far superior roleplay to some dude going on and on about irrelevant details. Let's be real, no one short of a full-blown psychopath will yap on about himself to the guys he's about to kill. It seems the popular idea of "quality roleplay" is mostly about storytelling rather than actually playing a role in any way resembling how a real life person would act in the given situation.

A pirate robs you, a bounty hunter shoots badguys, it's not exactly rocket science so why do you need them to explain themselves in long paragraphs first? It's pointless and defies logic, if roleplaying is mostly about playing roles rather than flat out tell stories.

For once I actually agree with you Mimir.
