Dov/Player's Prefs

Things I like in RP:

Pose

• I prefer a few sentences; 5-6 on average, but do go up to a full paragraph or two when I'm inspired. I prefer including something with atmosphere. Its the only way I know what's really going on in a text based environment. I will alter my length to accommodate others, but I can only take so many one liners (literally).
• Respond to the poses; react, interact. I'll not only acknowledge through some reaction that my char is aware of your posing, but try to interact as well. Please try the same, makes it more collaborative; and I'm here for collaboration; I can't do solo, no interest in writing a book. If I'm getting nothing, I'll have nothing to give and move on to greener pastures. If you're giving me just an acknowledgement of what I posed, by nearly repeating what I've done, without furthering the scene somehow, same thing, moving along.

Order

• Sure a big scene gets out of hand, 3pr is usually good; just ask though if folks are okay to switch. More as a courtesy, folks will either nod an okay, or move along cause big scenes aren't for them, but let others know, please don't presume.
• Small scene, try to wait for pose order. It just looks like someone is impatient if they keep jumping order with a sentence or two of pose.
• If you come into a room and players are in that room ... wait. Literally, wait, see what's going on, don't try to insist on your own propaganda. Waiting to see what's going on goes a long way; not changing my sunlight that matches +time for a vamp that didn't wait to see what time of day it was, not accommodating a character that tries to high five me walking into a room when I'm in a dark alcove plotting and out of site mostly. Please, wait and see what's going on.
