Here is the deal guys, this site is for literate people that like to write/like the animals on this site. No one, in my opinion really wants to read this while they are rping:
hey, Cooger said ... i g2g, ttyl
Ok that's just not cool. Do you guys really think that any animal would say such a dumb thing?! (I mean besides humans of course!)
The next thing I need to address is grammar. We all make mistakes I understand that but this is just not right:
Hi. Cooger said. I gots to go. I'll talk to you when i can
Ok first, this rp has no quotation marks. If you are not going to use quotation marks at least bold the speech. Second, gots is not a word! Please use real words! Third I should be capitalized. We learn capitalization in first grade where I live! This should be automatic! Fourth, there is no period. I hate this its a pet peeve. Just put a period on your sentences and we'll all be much better off. (You can see I'm not asking much. Personally all the preposition phrases, and incomplete sentence thing could matter less to me for I do that all the time, but capitalization and periods? Really?)
Last but not least I should mention this though it is not a rule. When rping with someone and they post around 500 words per post each post, try to post at their level. Now I know this is not always possible but imagine this:
You just finished writing a 1000 word post. Its magnificent, beautiful. It has the best grammar and awesome vocabulary. Then the person you are rping with writes a reply. You are so excited to see what they wrote. Opening the post you see.... A paragraph.....
How disappointing is that?! I've had this happen to me, it is not fun. Just a reminder; the minimum word post here is 200 words.
