You know, I just read through this, Darth, and this is reall some good info. It's more than likely that this has been said before, but a lot of people could really use this to become better.
The ones who don't use spellcheck; the ones who don't use correct grammer; even the ones who did all of that but still can't get it right. You did a real justice by posting this. Keep up the good work

Tactics to Enlongate your Posts
There are four simple ways to lengthen your post, all of which are simple.
1. Banter
Lots of talking does lengthen a post, especially if you put spaces between phrases like so:
I probably wrote:
"Hello good sir," said Sacrial
"Hello ... elf," said the gaurd.
2. Physical Description
Physical descriptions of your newly entering character, new rooms, and newly entering NPCs help to lengthen a post if it is long enough. You can go through great lengths of description. Like this post fragment I have here.
"All around the room, weapons were hung on the walls and laid into crates on display. There was a counter near the center of the room, and behind it stood a heavyset human eating a piece of bread like an animal. Upon the arrival of the three heros, he stopped eating and swallowed all that was in his mouth."
3. Inner Thoughts
You are not omniscient, however, you do control each and every action and thought of your character (obviously). Somethings you want people to know what you are plotting for the thread ahead, or, if you have a personal opinion of someone, you can show your true feelings, good or bad, without the person knowing. This is a good example inner feelings being held back (relating to the physical description above).
"What a pig this human is! Uhg. Just looking at his face covered in crums and some spittle makes me uneasy. Of all the blacksmiths in this land, I had to run into this one. Oh well, best not seem discrimanent, thought the elf."
4. Vocabulary
By using a more advanced vocabulary (and hopefully spelling it right), you can lengthen your post further (and hopefully look smarter).
For example, saying that the mans manerisms were extremely odd, even for a gnome, you could say he was an eccentric gnome with grotesque mannerisms.
uh-huh...so...where should I put my character sheet with this one.
j/k

I read back and checked that RPer of the Year thread..
Since when did RP go from art, to competition and how is this competition judged?
KMC goes by votes.. The majority of the votes were probably one friend to another..
Next time, I suggest bringing a neutral sole judge in, or even better... A jury..
Votes often lie..
