Raises hand

Hello yes I’d like to say something.

So it really depends how much a person writes to see the limit. Currently, most users on this wiki will write say a sentence when they want to role play with someone and usually the roger person does the exact same and so on. If this is the case then yes, you can barely have a role play with a ten to fifteen comment maximum.

However, if you are like myself, you usually need at least 50 to 100 comments to get a decent role play. I myself write at least twenty lines in role plays I am in on sites like quotev but usually only write about five to ten here for each response. If you are taking something like this, then no, ten to fifteen comments will not be good.

Another thing to take notice of is how people write, their style per se. There is a large majority of people on this wiki that use the script style, basically like text but with people provably. However some write sentences, explaining what they are doing. Script role plays take a long time to advance, usually either being an introduction sort of thing. However, the descriptive style, when someone writes a sentence explaining more, responses can be longer in a way.

With the people I know who role play as of currently, I believe the maximum amount should be 45 to 75. It truly just depends on who’s role playing with who. Putting one limit may not suit another person.

Another one of my concerns is the role playing section point where someone may get really deep into a role play and then someone kicks down a door and says that that hit the comment amount. In my opinion, wall role plays aren’t as interesting and entertaining as ones that are on pages. It may be hard to remember facts about the of the other person is role playing with if you have to go to two different tabs constantly, making page roleplays easier and much more efficient then ones that occur in message walls. Much easier.

Yeah, yeah, I get how it sometimes spam the wiki activity but did you ever realize ever since the last two threads were made, the activity has sort of died down with roleplaying at all? People don’t want to be yelled at for this sort of thing because it has happened before and more than once. There are certain people who do target people and talk shit about them for spamming the role play pages and it has actually taken a toll on people who want to apply for staff. It hasn’t happened that often, maybe four to five months ago being the last time that it was quite severe and broad. This is limiting ways for people to enjoy and have fun on the wiki in fact, rolepalying mag be one of the only reasons that someone came to the wiki in the very first place.

Personally, thread roleplays are legit hell in my opinion. Basically, anyone is free to enter and they can be easily derailed by anyone.

Yeah, I think that’s it. Probably.
