Sixteen paragraphs later, I stop introspecting and enter the door.
Dear mod,
If you're going to require five paragraphs of wanktastic introspective purple prose for a character to cross the room in your game, PLEASE note this in your user info or rules so I don't waste my freaking time actually applying for and joining your game, then having you make this post about how 'one liners' (aka, a concise paragraph or two when that's all your character really needs to say about a situation) are all bad and evil and how you personally spend half an hour or more on a single tag of glorious page long length.
I have this little thing called a life that really doesn't call for me to spend half an hour writing anything I don't get paid for, thank you very much. Also, if I wanted to write a page or two every time my character walked across a room, made tea, smiled, or threw a punch - I'd be writing fanfiction.
Every time I forget why I only play in games run by those I know well, or games of my own making, someone thoughtfully reminds me with shit like this. Thanks mod.
No love from me,
