Four hundred word posts? Perfect. Four hundred word paragraphs? Not so much.
Description? Good, we like it. Purple prose: lol whut?
Using extra brackets and tildes to make everything look cool? Arg.
Putting random words in bold also doesn't make it look cool. It makes me think Shatner is reading your posts.
Writing posts to help improve others writing? Cool, I know a few players who could use help. Giving examples of purple prose that make my eyes bleed isn't the way to do it, though.
Sub-boards and location sections are fine. Labeling them in unrelated quotes is just confusing.
Okay, so not all sub-boards are fine. Did you really need to make a separate section for a stairwell? There's already a section for the staircase, after all.
Not everything is improved with song quotes. No, really.
Registering accounts in character names is good. Requiring they be lower case, with brackets and tildes? Um?
I love pretentious games. They're funny.
On a semi-related note, what's with relationship pages? I've seen them before, even been required to use them, but I really don't see that they help with anything. Well, maybe coding skills.
