I would like to expound on what the Barrow Wight and Cimmerian have been saying.

In my opinion, a lot of the Freestyle RPGs are departing from what the original vision for this forum was. As the BW said, it was supposed to be for fanfictionish RPing. Now, however, it seems to be veering more towards chatting about random things, interspersed with comments such as "So and so drew his sword and attacked". I attribute this to people who do not know much about RPing joining the games without much knowledge of A) the previous posts or B) RP procedure and etiquette.

However, none of this is your fault, Bethberry. In fact, I have quite enjoyed this thread, and plan to use some of the information in subsequent RPGs and stories.
