Quote from: Brony General Comulian on May 16, 2012, 03:19:47 PMEhm, Dues Ex Machina? Explain what that is.I think it's like "God in Machine". Think of it like this:Your character is about to die at the mercy of a falling brick. Suddenly the brick moves away from its original trajectory, saving your character. There is no explanation for it. It just moved. It's a deus ex machina.
Try to avoid stereo typing!

A good thing is to be descriptive with posts, one-line posts can be dull and leaves very little for the next poster to work with.

I do it more by text... Like using dots for thinking and CAPS for shouting. Also, I let the other character "read" the line... But... I agree with PowPow here... Although... One line shouts are another story.
For me it really depends on which words you choose. Like:"That's very kind of you."is better then "That's kind of you."

Like:"That's very kind of you."is better then "That's kind of you."True, but if you add.Jack placed his hands on the ground and pushed himself off the dusty floor, his trembling legs slowly gaining rigidity as they held him up straight. Soon he was standing upright and locked eyes with the figure in front of him, who was holding one of his possessions and proceeded to hand it to him."Thats very kind of you" Jack remarked.I just think description adds more life to it.
Well like I said before, it works for me. But I'm not saying everyone should use it, but some may want to. So long as people still feel apart of the RP, its all good :p
Try to avoid to be too confident with your writing. Know what you can and can't.
