71c3f7d834429d9ebfbfc04b4e7fa7b6.gif Hello, you can call me Super Sonic! I've been playing Marapets since 2006, and have especially been known to hang about the forums- most notably the Roleplay Forums! I probably won't friend anyone right away, so don't take it to heart- but I wouldn't mind a maramail sent my way!

Presently, I do not accept Club Invites or Trades.

Current/Longtime Goals:
[X] Help Zunario become an Angel Fasoro
[X] Have means of Obtaining Rofling
[X] Save myself from "baby's first mistake" and make Zothic a Chibs

Miffed at Topic Character Limit

I'm not sure how to put this. I have a certain topic that I'm trying to pitch again, but the last time I tried to post it, it refused to let up until I split the plot and rules in half! Not only this, but in trying to keep the plot and rules intact/together, I still overstepped the no double post rule and had to wait on someone else posting just to post the rp rules again??

A 3,500 character limit is Extremely inconvenient for rp topic starters. I want to post my rp, but especially with the recently revised/reclarified site rules I'd rather not pull in my sister to cut between the potential posts to avoid double posting (because that's probs also bad and would result in a ban... right??? gosh idk X X;; )

What should I do? Is there any way to not double post and not rely on my sister to prevent said double posting? Should I ask why there's a character limit? and where should I ask it? Help forums? A ticket?

I can't lie, I'm frustrated. There seems to be no way to work this out. I'm open to suggestions even if they're worded mean. //shrugs

I have the same problem as well, hope this gets fixed soon! Sad

You can suggest to Ian that he up the word count in an Editorial:
https://www.marapets.com/editorial.php

In the mean time, all I can suggest is having someone (in this case, your sister) posting on the board so you can post a reply or in the opening post putting a message that says users can MM you for more details if they're interested.

I find that it helps to take a "single action" approach when you have less space to work in.

Focus on one action at a time. Are you starting the story? Describe only the needed details of the character's immediate area. Focus only on things needed for that scene.

For example: It is a warm autumn day in Puchalla Park. Small birds flutter and splash inside the round stone water fountain. Across from the fountain sits a worn but inviting wooden bench.

This sets a scene ready for players to enter. Speaking of entering, only post your own actions and any descriptions absolutely required to make the action understandable. Do not add in extraneous information, other characters actions, or tons of detail.

Example: Jimmy the orange Jessup sits on the park bench. He places a hoof inside his brown windbreaker's pocket. He looks to the sky and wonders what time it is. When will his sister finally get there?

Tada! A scene set up and a first action well within character limits with tons to work with.

If you really need extensive character descriptions, use a marasite page or a blog entry. Like From my decades of roleplay, though, I generally find I don't need these to have a fun scene with others.

Hope it helps!

Hm, that's not a bad idea at all actually, I think I'll try that! Thank you so much~ Okay

Maybe post it all in a blog like the rules of the first part and link the blog on the forum

scratch that, I'm now convinced that 3,500 is a typo and that they really mean 2,500. I've removed as little as I could to make it under 3,500 and it still won't let up and post it.
