Question to Evaluators

Posts : 90

Just a generic question from a noob. While I understand that each evaluator is different, and may have minor difference in the way the grade a thread, my goal is to produce quality threads. What do I need to include in all threads to consistently land in the 16-18 out of 20 range?

Words, lots of words

Nah, but you don't need to do stuff like that, it's for losers. You write threads because you want to RP with people, not because you want a lot of points, that's not really the thought behind roleplaying. But if you really, really want to get a high score, i'd say check your grammar, stay in character, give people something fun to read and don't slack off or go overboard on things.

If you are still looking for advices after what Spec had to say (that guy's a geenius!!!) but srsly:

Just imagine the evaluator is a five year old kid - DESCRIBE EVERYTHING. Try to keep order, composition in your posts, keep describing everything your character does, why he/she does it, how it makes them feel, so on and so on. Sometimes you hold on things because you have them clear in your head so you don't explain them DON'T DO THAT! Explain everything, no such thing as overexplanation (they call it something... "character development" or such witchcraft I don't know but evals seem to like it...)

Just to sum up, remember that this is a world where people spit fire from their mouths - imagination is the key. You may try incorporate details from how a person would act in real life with mix of fire spitting just for the heck of it, if Kishi doesn't give a cat's poop about his story anymore, why should you?

- You want to meet your post requirement (and usually) go a bit above it.

- You want the thread to contain a decent number of posts.

- You want to make sure your grammar and spelling are up to par.

Other than that, try to be interesting and always push your character in new directions.

And because I'm an English student, I always look for experimental vocab (word choices) and sentence structures.
