How would it be hard to enforce if one could just send an OOC message with a link to the rules (or guidelines) and tell people to abide to them? I have a quote from sanchez saying it's not PD's job to scold people of bad RP, although I think it was in private so maybe I shouldn't be quoting it, but it's the kind of statement that people should be aware of, in my opinion. If PD doesn't want to get involved, people either have to tell others OOC if their playing makes others cringe, or just suffer in silence.

While I do agree with the reasoning behind the logic of this suggestion, I think that if it was to work, then ALL players would need to accept that it takes time to write out a log, and stop harassing those that cannot come up with it seconds after it being asked for.


I have seen a lot of impatience regarding the quickness at the length of time it takes someone to respond, act (and so on) and this is something that would just add to the frustration of those that can't be on all the time.

Because of this widespread amount of impatience, I myself have found it easier to just copy and paste since for some reason if it isn't handed over immediate then you are the one to suffer the consequences.

The PD is grossly overworked and doesn't need another thing put on their plate, regardless of how trivial it may seem.

Cdls, what if you emote *starts writing*? Then they at least know you're working on it.

That is a good idea Seko, but in reality as I am sure you have seen in game, there are those that don't really care if you are taking the time to write it out, they want it there and now. That is my only concern.

Awww... But it really breaks character and... The feeling of the Cantr-world.

I shouldn't even be on this list. My posts actually argued counter to this proposal >.>

I don't like this proposal.
Pasted logs haven't been taken too seriously in game, atleast not where I've been.
