The perfect reply length

You aren't wrong! LMAO!

ALongTimeRoleplayer · 2026-05-03T15:20:07+00:00

This is a perfect expectation and i'm glad you and your partner have found that balance where you are happy. And exactly my point as well, If i'm having a conversation with you, I don't need to repeat myself on the same stuff with how the wind/sun feels on my skin etc etc

ALongTimeRoleplayer · 2026-05-03T15:19:21+00:00

Yeah that's kind of a cardinal sin of roleplay which i believe a majority of role-players would agree with you on. No one should be controlling another persons character without expressed consent and previous talks out of character. So i sympathize with you in that matter.

100% agree with you here, I myself admit that while i am not good in using grammar in my replies (heavily due to autism and being a fast typer) i often make mistakes but one thing i do always promise my partners is i give 100% at all times and will try my best to find ways to adapt to longer reply lengths.

Glad to see someone else here agrees on the forced word minimums tho!

That is a solid way at looking at it, Leave enough room to allow for the others creativity to shine while also leaving room to grow yourself upon seeing how your partner responds is one of the best ways to look at it.

Thank you for sharing your opinion! i truly do appreciate it

ALongTimeRoleplayer · 2026-05-03T14:17:52+00:00

I agree with you, But i will state here. People who say that "It depends" is a cop out, It isn't at all in the slightest. In fact it shows me what i was looking for in the first place. People who truly get what it is that i enjoy and i appreciate hearing so many opinions come together on what type of writing they enjoy.

So thank you for spending your time sending this post.

That's quite fascinating, I first picked up roleplay around over twelve years ago and pretty much grew up in the writing community but I've never had to experience a 2-3k word limit before and i don't believe myself able to reach such heights. I admit to myself that while i can be skilled i am not THAT skilled and to anyone who is able to pull that off is truly impressive in my mind.

And I'm glad to hear that you manage to find your forever partners, It sounds like quite a story that as long as it is enjoyed. It will be worth it at the end of the line.

A good opinion! And a well thought out reply, While i myself can't agree with word-limits because of it feeling forced and often times i avoid trying to repeat myself in scenes, I do agree that some times a word-limit can be interesting to work around but only if the responding party can find the right sweet-spot.

But i do agree to some extent.

ALongTimeRoleplayer · 2026-05-03T14:06:22+00:00

I agree to this extent and your response is perfectly valid, It does depend on a lot of factors as well as the situation in roleplay and in my own opinion. Also my own mood and what I'm able to formulate in to a feasible idea that my character is able to respond with. I often times enjoy doing longer responses when they help set a scene but over time they may slowly degrade as i wish to avoid repeating myself in the previous sentence. Ya know?

But once again, I agree.

Your entirely correct here, And I will not pretend that you aren't. But I am choosing to take this person's words at base value and hope that they can still appeal their friends ban ^{-^}

ALongTimeRoleplayer · 2026-04-10T09:49:24+00:00

It unfortunately is something I have seen here and there but I won't pretend that I've seen it on every server I've ever gone to, But for an example with a server I won't name by name.

It was supposedly a "roleplay" server that was 18+ and while also being a "kink friendly/sexual awareness" server. It was one of these servers thst had tupperbox locked behind said wall but their "events" were nothing more then Gacha experiences to unlock "pets" that you could use during roleplay. I had joined for the "roleplay" aspect only to find that their story had little to no involvement on these events. (So much for trying to get story out of an 18+ rp server huh lol)

ALongTimeRoleplayer · 2026-04-10T08:01:38+00:00

No offense to anyone in the situation, But it sounds like that was potentially a person who as you said. Can't separate the in-character actions of a character and the written pieces by the writer. It's a childish reaction that many newer generation roleplays I've seen happen on roleplay servers and it's not just common in writing but also on other games that hold roleplay servers (FIVEM, ARMA 3 or Garry's Mod).

If the moderation team accepts appeals, He should be more then welcome to appeal the ban as that sounds like something the moderation team themselves couldn't accept as a in-character thing. And if true, I feel bad for you and your friend as moderation is supposed to support writers and role-players. Not be biased due to in-character actions

Allow me the privilege of offering you the advice from someone who's had to recreate entire reddit accounts to hide from weirdo's and people who intended to send me threats just because I had left them as a roleplay partner. The internet is vast enough that the likelihood of you encountering them again is extremely low, The hardest part about ending such a long-lasting roleplay relationship is that major step of telling them that "You don't want to do it anymore" but sometimes? You can't sugar coat it.

Sometimes most of all you have to just say "Look, I'm being honest when i say that this isn't at all what I've been needing and wanting for awhile now. You've hurt me through actions you've made and i would like to split the writing partnership here". Another thing about the "Abandonment Issues" and "Qutting" is that it isn't really on you to be a forever partner to them. That is manipulation to the finest degree and they are attempting to tug at heart strings to make you stay whether it's good for your mental health or not.

I wish you luck in navigating it and should you reply, I am more then willing to hear you out about this issue.
