it's basically where you're having more than one conversation in one thread at the same time, and replying to everything that the other person put in their post

Person one's post, intending it to be one stream of speech:

"Hello!" They said. Blah blah.

"Do you think it's cold today?" Blah blah.

"I think it's cold. How do you stand it?"

Person two's post, replying to every single statement made:

"Hi!" Blah blah.

"I don't think it's cold today. I wore a sweater so I am adequately prepared." Blah blah.

"The sweater helps! And I think I'm just naturally warm blooded. I was raised in the extreme north, so it's very cool and fun." Blah blah.

Person one's post, now also having to reply to every single statement made, and as a result the thread is now one paragraph longer than it was:

"How are you?"

"A sweater... God, that's smart. I am not warm blooded I am very cold blooded."

"I Should have worn a sweater, but I didn't because I am a weak baby. I think sweaters are vastly inferior to dresses."

"Oh, cool! The north? Whereabouts? I'm more mid...range, or whatever, myself."

basically it's just... when everybody tries to respond to everything that the other person writes, when that's... just... it's just not feasible, in my opinion, since conversations just do not go like that. and then the threads just get longer and longer and after a while you don't know what you're even responding to at some point and it's like... please... let me rest. i like to have my character focus on whatever is most interesting to them and reply to only that part (though that doesn't mean that they don't hear it. it's just that not everything is reply-worthy, you know)

[nobody follows me on my tumblr rp blog] this is why caring only about visual aesthetics and common trends suck, because the good gems get thrown to the side in the place of a fancy document or theme and it SUCKS, and i'm obviously the best in the world and people should be coming over in DROVES to follow me, even though i dont have good and trendy graphics or,

one time many years ago i had a grand dream of three independent sites that focused on the black shroud, la noscea, and thanalan respectively, were set during the same time, and generally each had their own flavor and sometimes even member base...

nowadays i just think having small-scale rps is fun. i would be really intrigued by (and would be — have been — tempted to make) a norvrandt rp that's set years before shadowbringers (maybe like, 10-50 years before) and is mainly focused between the crystarium and eulmore and the rife between them. the apocalyptic vibes. the danger. the political tension. shadowbringers canons allowed because i love canons, and because there's never going to be any chance of us interacting with arr/hw/sb canon content we are free to diverge as we please

also it would completely eliminate "forum reacts to latest patch" because it's just not relevant that far back in time (usually)

i dont think i vibe these days with large rps that have multiple regions and a wide scope. i like small scope. one or two focus cities, with like a small board on the side for like everything else if people wanted to rp like. stuff outside of the areas that are the main
