NO5 is what I drink. and I might get the red monster every so often.

Yeah, I'm an inner hipster, I can't help it.
No, wait, inner scene kid.
I think Red Bull is for hipsters.
Blagh, idc.

I like the yellow monsters.

Caffeine raises my already to high heart rate.

WHITE MONSTER MASTER RACE!!!

Edit: LOL this was never meant to sound anything as racist as it did. XD

I don't like speed RPs much, but I don't deny their validity.

We don't proscribe how to RP here, we don't tell you 'You will use 3rd person past tense!' or 'You must have at least 100 words per RP post'. No, people may do as they wish.
If we feel the Dominion is without effort we can overturn it, but speed RPing isn't devoid of effort at all. Indeed, it's arguably more difficult to coordinate and get things happening rather than letting a week do the job for you.

So no, if people are happy to do speed Dominions, then so be it.

I agree with @[member="Tegaea Alcori"] on the matter because its something me and her, and @[member="Tefka"] have talked about a few times now actually.

If we don't penalize people for posting one-liners in any other type of thread then by right we cannot do so in a dominion thread because thats what hypocrites do. As staff have said they do have the right to overturn any Dominion, so if it was that much of a problem someone would of reported about it instead of complained in a public area.

And unlike most likely the 85% of the people I have read it, and did have a good laugh and like @[member="Selena Halcyon"] said the dominion tells a story of start to end with various problems and resolutions in the middle. Role-playing is weaving a story alone or with others, a story that you write as specific character within the story; if we wrote the whole story it wouldnt be role-playing it would be writing a bloody story.

TD;LR
Not everyone is at the same level of skill, new vs. old, experienced vs. inexperienced, and since we dont punish people for posting 'one sentence' in any other forum we cannot bash on a dommion, no matter how short the posts are (although some are of good length). If you think its of poor quality report it, dont complain please.

I think you guys completely missed the highlight in lieu of a footnote. It's not the act, it's why the act transpired. Whether it is true for both sides, I cannot say. I'm not pointing a finger at any one faction. However, from a tactical and geographic viewpoint, it is very difficult for me to argue otherwise.

No matter what, different individuals have different motives and reasons. It's nigh impossible to speak for a group collectively as to why any one decision was made.

And I'm just sitting here munchin on popcorn hoping something will blow up soon.

Remember the speed Doolminion race between the Mandos and Sith that broke the site? It wasn't even tactically important world. Haha that was fun....

Finally read the entire thing and good stuff good stuff. Sucks I was at work and unable to post.

It still did. but we know what you mean.

And I'm just sitting here munchin on popcorn hoping something will blow up soon.

Mmmm took a shower and now waiting for the same thing.

 

[Antoir Setrrin]

Guess who didn't sleep at all last night?
Me.
Guess Tef was right...
I am a special snowflake.

 

[Ayden Cater]

It's a matter of preference. There are plenty of people I know who have a deep disdain for them, and I can't say I'm particularly fond of them myself, but each has its place. Mostly the only time speed Dominions are a problem are when two factions vie for control of a planet. Then things can get... interesting.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

I recall the Republic and OP both speed dominoing for Rhommamool once. That was amusing to watch. Much later Velok vaporised it.

 

[Allyson Locke]

All I'm going to say on this matter is this:

Everyone RPs differently, everyone comes from different backgrounds. The important thing about RP and essentially everything we do here is - Having fun and wave around light sticks and guns that sound like we bought them at the dollar store.

To the core of the matter is: We are a community and writers will develop with time, hell I started out writing one liners that every sentence started out with my characters name. Be a community and develop, have fun and play.

As for the Dominion: As long as it evolves as a story and people are fun and being active it shouldn't matter. The main point is - its a story.






ONE MORE THING: If you don't like it - don't participate in it - there's enough going on the board that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing. Manage yourself and have fun.

I mentioned in another thread my opinion of Speed Dominions, but I'll say the same here.

I don't like Speed Dominions for one reason: they can turn into a competition. Are there some good ones out there? I have no doubt. What can happen, despite our best of intentions, is that someone will twist it into a competition. Everyone has a good amount of planets, so if one of the fractions lose a planet or two, more material for the story. We're here to create stories worthy of remembering, not bicker about who is winning or losing.

On that note, I prefer to have everyone involved in the thread equally, not exclude people because the thread is done within two to three hours. I have class and work between 8 am to 9 pm daily, except for weekends. Yeah, people had fun, but I would not be able to post reliably =( If they do a Dominion over, say, a week, then I'd be happy with that =) It gives everyone a chance to be apart of it, rather than give people only a few hours to do something. This is just my opinion though, based on my limited timeframe to be apart of things.

As for the "RP Ideal", I love detail =) Whatever I write, there will always be a lot of it. I tend to RP with people that can also give detail, though they obviously don't have to match me post for post. What threads I've been apart of, I have enjoyed myself =) From past years, I don't always get the same enjoyable experience when RPing with one-liners, but that's just my preference. It's always up to the person what they enjoy doing, and mine is giving detail. Nothing wrong with one-liners.

However, I do agree with for a Dominion, whether it's a Speed Dominion or not, should have more detail than a sentence or two per post, to give the Dominion more...credibility, since it is about trying to take a planet after all. I speak about generally, but I haven't read many Dominion threads yet, so my opinion is only based on my reasoning, not what I have seen and read.

 

[Tefka]

It's okay to not like competition, but the map game is inherently competitive, so Dominion Races and Invasions are to be expected. And encouraged.

This is so cool...

 

[Tefka]

Having everyone be in the thread equally requires that they all put in an equal amount of effort.

A noble goal, but... Good luck, lol.
