I don't understand that, just post when you've written the RP, you don't need to post a blank post, then edit your RP in it later. All you're going to do that way is increase the odds you get no credit for that RP, as the host may not know you've gone back and added content to a previously submitted post.


Those who have hosted may disagree but I seem to recall past hosts saying that if you haven't completed your RP let them know in the RP so they know to come back to read and grade accordingly. That might have only been those two hosts and our current ones may think differently as well


I think it depends on the hosts - best to ask and not to assume.

Absolutely no harm done this time, though, and his RP was fully counted.

Yea, I think its reasonable to expect it, but you would think you would do that if you were mid thought and had to take a break or something. Not when you had absolutely nothing written yet.

To me, that comes off as someone trying to say, in the case they weren't able to come back and edit in an actual RP: "Honestly host, I was planning to RP today, but I just never got back to edit my post... can I still get a bonus, even a small one? Pweeease?"

Now that may not have been United Eastedge's attempt here, but I'm just saying, making a blank post saying you're going to edit in an actual RP later doesn't really scratch the itch for justifying the need to have posted anything in the first place and could serve to either come off looking poor if you don't remember to go back and edit it, or, possibly result in the edited RP being overlooked if it was edited after the host had graded for the day.

That didn't happen this time, but in my opinion, why put yourself in that situation if you haven't even written anything to upload yet.

I notice the tiebreakers list H2H points and then goal difference. Will Head-to-head goal difference not be used then?

The Australian national team is like 70-80% amateurs/semi-professionals. Anyway, let's nip this derail in the bud.
