People always end up never showing up or weeding out later. I have no idea how some are so successful. Like that megashark one or something, I think was is doing well. Hell, the only RPs I have been in that have made it to the end was my first RP. 250 pages, with about eight people.

Yeah. With that kind of a history, I'm looking forward to the sequel. I didn't do the megashark one cos I'm relatively new to RPs and didn't want to screw it up for everybody else.

I'm surprised that it even succeeded like it did. I expected it never to take off.

Did you not read the TG I sent you. I think it said something along the lines of:
"As you should have noticed by the title of the thread, the RP is closed. You have to TG Sentinel XV, first."

Posting in both the IC and OOC thread, when it's been made very explicit to you by multiple parties that you should not, isn't going to win you points with anybody on this forum. It's irritating and disrespectful.

OK, I think we're getting a bit too doctor-happy. Scott (Cylarn, I believe) isn't a doctor, he's a cop; and I (Rick) am technically not a doctor either, I'm a pharmacist. I let it slide because it's close enough and I didn't want to be a hardass about a small point.

Definitely Asian. Parents must've brainwashed her into thinking everyone in the world is a doctor. Poor woman. :lol2:

A reference to your flag, and the length of your post. Respect - I can't typically manage more than five or six lines.

At first, I intended to make my last two posts a single post, but then I figured most people wouldn't read it because of the length.

Oh, come now. :lol2:
In total the two posts comprise roughly 11 paragraphs, at approximately 7 lines each. That's 77 lines of solid text laid out in NS's forum post format.
That translates into roughly 125 lines of solid text, using the font size and margins of a paperback novel. That equals roughly 6 to 6.5 pages in a paperback novel, with proper spacing and punctuation.
I can read one page per minute, so it would take me seven minutes (tops) to read my two posts combined. If they were really engaging, I could do it in as little as five minutes.

In other words, it's not that bad.
