Yes, there is. Lack of story, info, etc. Any experienced RPer would tell you that. We are all above the age of 8 and can write a paragraph. The more detailed the RP, the better.
Unless you're not trying to tell a story, and have no interest in typing out a world-building essay for the 8th grade.
One-liners are extremely efficient in battle RP's, especially when you don't have to write a news report to describe "Squad A moves Eastward to the mountains to prepare for Enemy C's attack.", to which Enemy C can respond with "Enemy C doesn't see Squad A's movement, and carries out the attack on the Eastward Mountains." without having to describe each and every member of the squad and my fantasy ideal squad leader in excruciating detail that nobody will ever read, nor care about.
Of course one-liners are inadequate for world-building and character development, but for large-scale RP's with emphasis on tactics and similar, one-linear's should be more then welcome in getting your point across without the unnecessary content filler.
