Now now, no generalizing, Ess... You know what happens when you assume! You make... Uh... Yourself look dumb? Somethin' like that.
;_;
Don't talk to me about looking dumb. I'm a toaster with a tin hat superglued to me.

Well, I think it's fair to say that this thread is drifting away from its original topic, so I might as well do this. . .
Occasionally, someone posts something that I just think is really awesome. . . but that I don't really want to say anything about, for fear of spoiling it. So. . .
Eh, I might as well mention it in this thread! Always good to tell people what they're doing right as well as what they're doing wrong. . .
From now on, I will post things that I REALLY liked on this thread, as Best. Post. EVER. I am probably not going to do this often . . . as I am doing this retroactively . . . and I have only two posts to start with.
Obviously, though, I am not going to post anything that is in a thread before I joined, or a thread that I never joined.
So anyway, two Best. Posts. EVER. on the way. . .

Experiment's head quickly snapped up toward the spine-user, his eyes burning with hatred.
"Burning... Burning did it?! I always did hate magic... I knew it was uncontrollable..." He nodded to Prodder, looking at the large amount of smoke, signalling his target. "Thanks. Now, I am going to have to kill a father. Stay out of my way."
2.0 sprinted faster than he had before, dodging right through the battle, and into the green area, his spines ready to be impaled in Burning Brawler, and anyone else who got in the way.

I cannot seem to get Experiment's line in this post out of my head.

Essex just chuckled quietly. It was a pained chuckle that seemed to be tempered with sobs.
"...You really want to do it this way, don't you? ...Alpha...Hal...Static..."
Her eyes turned up to Alpha in the helicopter, looking right through the translucent Phantasm.
"All right!" she laughed and cried at once, strange tears streaming down her cheeks as she regarded those around her. "If it's what you really want, I'll fight you...! ...You should have left me alone!!"
Blackness exploded from the android in a massive shockwave as simultaneously, the black shield appeared about her as thick as before. She was barely visible within the inky blackness, but something else was coming from the aura.
The haunting notes of a song, in her high, clear voice. The song seemed to slow the reflexes of those who heard it, making those around her dizzy and fuzzy.
"Shine
Bright morning light,
Now in the air the spring is coming,
Sweet
Blowing wind,
Singing down the hills and valleys,
Keep
Your eyes on me,
Now we are on the edge of hell,
Dear my love,
Sweet morning light,
Wait for me, you've got much farther,
To fight..."

. . . And this just gave me chills.
I actually almost said "Murder a father" before I realized that Experiment is one of those goody-goody heroes...
Haha, well, I think "kill a father" flows better. So, just as well. . .
XD Yaaay! *throws dramafetti*
By the way, that song is Fake Wings from dot.HACK. Really purdy.

Oh, really? That makes it even better! I watched dot.HACK/sign, and if it's anything like the music from that, I love it.
I'd just like to apologize for my posting style lately. With school starting back up, I am now knee-deep in work, and they will often lack the militaristic flair of my normal posts. Just trying to get my intereactions out there, please don't judge ><.
Think I'd forgotten about this? No!
And by the way, I should attribute these. First one to Prodiguy, second to Essex.

"Ow!" Balsk said as the ball of energy slammed into him, knocking him roughly to the ground and scorching the scales on his chest.
The wave of light hit the prone draconian, sending him rolling toward the cliff edge. Slowly getting up and rolling his shoulder, procuring a loud snap, Balsk gave everyone gathered the finger and fell backwards over the cliff.
"Life sucks and then you die!" Balsk shouted as he fell into the mists.

I just can't stop laughing at this. I don't know why. I just can't.
Okay this is a bump.
I know my post tend to longer winded than most, but I do try to develop the character and the reading with higher level of descriptiveness. I happen to like detail and enjoy writing detail to support the story aspect of these threads. If I do end up with a short post generally I didn't spend enough time on it, or later I thought up a half dozen ways to modify it for detail/drama/story telling.
What I don't know if you people out there who are in the threads I am in enjoy reading detail.
I know I need to work on several areas of board writing. Combat and multiple dialogs being the biggest items followed closely by spelling, grammar and related items.
Also I will occasionally try something I think is funny but dont know if it received as funny or not. Maybe I have a weird sense of humor.

Do I enjoy reading detail? It depends.
Honestly, it's not the sort of question I can answer straight. Some great posts are only a sentence or two, and some go into great detail. As I said: It depends, on the post, and its role in the thread, and the poster, and. . .
I guess this isn't really an answer is it. 
What I mean, I suppose, is that both in-depth description and elegance have their own place. I certainly enjoy reading detailed posts, but only if they are placed appropriately and are well written. . . as with any kind of post.
I generally I like your posting style, but sadly I cannot get past formatting. A single misspelled word in an otherwise brilliant post can ruin it for me. I still look back at posts of my own and wince, because I did something like use the same exact phrase at two points in the post. Or something. I consider this my problem, but.
So, I would work on spelling and grammar first and foremost. I get the impression that you do not really favor combat in your posting style, and honestly I see no reason why you should worry too much about it. Plenty of interest is possible without the use of combat. I just don't really know how to do that, haha. All my drama scenes happen in some sort of battle. . .
I have this habit that I am in that's like... I dunno... proof-scanning.
I don't exactly proofread my posts very well, but I scan them for errors, tweak a little and then post. Then I read it as it appears on the forum, which usually ends up in a series of rapid edits that I leave un-marked. more often than not thaere aren't any replies that I have to worry about screwing up by altering the wording.
I guess the point is that for some odd reason the post preview is a lot harder to read than the finished post. I imagine this is purely psychological, but I am a purely logical psycho.
NECROPOST!
Thought this might help with the recent influx. If at all possible, follow the rules I originally spammed page 1 with.

Burning all I can say is yes you have gotten better, but at the same time you are less consistant in updating all of the threads that you are in.
You used to be the most consistant to get a post from if you had computer access on a given day.

Yeah, I didn't want to step on any toes with yours and Billy's vacation to Founders thing, and after that wasn't sure what to do with Pstorm.
If it's really been a month now though that Pstorm's been 'walking' erm... How long has it been since the last class? o.o
