I want to put forward a proposal to only grant rp gold for post that contain AT LEAST 250 words. This will prevent people from abusing the system with one sentence posts.
One sentence posts will still be allowed, but gold earned from then will be taken back.

I think it should be a paragraph. for example example: Finn looked at Jake like he was crazy. "Let the Lich go? Are you crazy?" he yelled." NO man Im'a Kill him. " Leaping from his seat he drew his demonblood sword. "I'ma spank his hams!"
see that. It had plot elements and a point. it was also part of an ongoing conversation. That would deserve credit. im not sure how much but it does deserve it. 250 words is to many for people to want to actively post. something like 80-100 for full and a paragraph for 1/3(maybe less i don't know) 250+ for double. If your writing an essay it should be worth the trouble. Especially if its as good as my amazing journal entry's (lol)

That post had 35 words. It would only take 20 of those posts to earn 1000 experience. That meants ~700 words for 1000 experience or 1.4 experience per word. It would be so easy just to level up by spamming short posts as such rather than play in game.

i believe i said that a post like that should get 1/3 or less credit. im saying it deserves credit because they would be making an effort. Not a huge one but an actual effort. so the deserve credit; not full credit, but credit.

I am not sure the forum can add partial credits. I believe its 5 or nothing. We do need to figure something out.

What if it did gold based upon word count?

gold based on word count can be good, example: for every 25 words you'll earn 1 gp however the exp exchange rate should increase as our level goes up as well, or else high, level characters will find it slow to progress level through role-playing just saying

I understand where cloud is getting at but I have to disagree. I think that basing the gold reward on word length will actually make it easier for the system to be abused. People will start posting pointless and long winded monologues about their characters (which isn't that hard to do) and get all kinds of gold for it. I think the gold reward should be based on the quality of the post which should be left at the GM's discretion. I trust that he is able to judge when someone is actually role playing their character and when their just making up random bull shit (sure, your getting 1.4 experience point for every small post but after your 37th post in a week I'm sure Colin will know what's up).

In a textual role playing environment shorter information filled messages will allow for more role playing. If you are writing 250+ word posts you are going to close many opening for other people to interact. I think that yes this system is open to abuse and I'm sure some of us might me tempted, but just enjoy it and trust that if people begin to obviously abuse it (1 word-1 line posts) then action will be taken. I for one look forward to using this part of the forums to get to know people's characters and build relations with outside of the combat scenarios.

I think we should change that to a weekly maximum. Some people can't come on the forums everyday and it would be unfair to them. If someone goes on every day posts the same amount (and just as well) as the guy who missed a day or two because of work or school, they should get the same amount of gold. By the way, I think the weekly maximum should be 75 gold.
