Biggest suck-up goes to Nightmare.

I'm one of the few people who's never had an issue with Phatso.

Are you drunk Pancake?

Just give it a bit, Phatso will find a way to burn the bridge between you two as well.

Are you drunk Pancake?

Not as drunk as Phatso's mother.

LOL Drunk Pancake

4/10

This is without a doubt my biggest RP ever so far. 7,000 words and 42,000+ characters. Now for the editing phase to trim it down some....

Yikes! Meet me at Old Farmer Potter's field in five hours. Bring a pair of shears, blister-cream and a border collie.

I never minded reading your long RP's. Then again, I never read your RP's.

Reading RP's? What insane person does that? I usually just skimmed them over and went "hmm, this seems less shitty than the other guys. He should win"

And I'm just here procrastinating a single paragraph in.

 

[Bernkastel]

Finally finished the first segment on mine. This is giving me way more grief than I thought it would. Was hoping to have mine done and posted hours ago. LOL @ that happening.

There's also been people on Creative who have had the mindset of "Huh. The RP looks really long and epic. I better give it my vote. Don't need to read it."

When in reality, long RP's usually contain a lot of filler that added absolutely nothing to the story. No offence, Ty.

Hey now, Ty has made a living winning with RP's more bloated than the stomach of a dead whale sitting out in the sun days on end waiting to explode.

If you need to tell a story 7,000 words long. That's fine, all I ask is to be entertained. Unfortunately, I wasn't entertained by many RP's that passed the 4,500 RP mark.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Welp, Dagger loses by default due to creative not reading his RP. J/K... but I'm sure everyone will have written novels.

I had been told everyone goes all out on this round, so I held nothing back. I still need to edit this thing, what I finished last night is not what I'm submitting. I still have proofreading and editing to do.

Yeah 7,000+ is juuuuuuuuuuuuust a bit much. And this is coming from a guy who will collectively write over 7,000 in all likelihood between two RP's.

That's the thing, it essentially is two RP's in one. I had material for my Elite X match and then for the Lottery itself. It needs work, but I went all out and had fun writing it. Now I get to have fun proofreading it, although I did come up with a shorter Plan B that I may be using instead.

I don't like you that much but I'm not talking shit. Dagger sometimes less is more my dude. I haven't read the last two rounds of roleplays. But sometimes I've gotten sort of lost in your roleplays. Ive wrote longer roleplays, so has mostly everyone. If 7k words flows well together than great.

I'm not gonna lie, I've read thousands of roleplays, and I'm guilty of this shit too. Sometimes we all need to cut a little filler out.

But with that being said, it is a huge "ppv" card and maybe you'll win with it. Who knows

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've tried to be nice to you. Grammer problems aside alot of people overlook me because I've never wrote a world title rp, or this or that. I've been reading and writing rp's since 2006 man. I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm you put into your charicter.

I enjoy seeing you push creative to write your character the way you want him to be, because it's something I should have done myself. I was trying for months to re invent Bowen as training mma and re introduced his amateur wrestling background, and never once was it used. None of the submissions I ever posted on my page were use, and none of the stuff I built up to with it was ever wrote into a match or segment. Shit happens, but that's alot of the reason I stopped writing.

Thanks dude. I know we had disagreements in the past, but I always appreciate feedback.

So I like to write a bunch of notes on the bottom of the page when writing an RP so just in case I have to stop for a while I know what I'm doing. This is what I logged on to see and I can't stop giggling long enough to write:

I need help.

I PM myself notes/brainstorming constantly and keep some at the end of my RP drafts too, so you're not the only one.

To be fair, my filler is better than what you consider important in your RP so there's that.

There were a few times where I was reading RPs to vote, and they were clearly just long for the sake of being long and I would vote against them. Using 500 words to describe what could be described in 30 is one of the quickest ways to make me hate your RP.

 

[Kermit]

While the LL is definitely a time to go "all-out", it doesn't necessarily mean in length. There are very few RPers who can push the world count limit and get away with it. Even some of the better RPers have struggled with the exhaustion that comes with an extended RP. See: Drake Callahan at LL IV. He had one of the best RPs in my opinion, but it was way too long. Even cutting off a fourth of it might have granted him a win in my eyes. I think I pegged him as 2nd or 3rd.

I would say above all else that length is definitely more often a foe than an ally in an event like LL. Find yourself being on the tail end of 29 other RPs with a character limit pushing piece and you might find your RP being more of a chore to creative than anything.

In the end, it all depends on your goal. I've been notified that a few of my RPs have been a bit lengthy over the last two cycles with Haven. I try to modify for Creative's sake, but I simply write a lot because I get engrossed in the story and care more about the tale moreso than winning matches. The wonderful thing is when you start winning when it is not your main focus.

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I've never read a complete Ty Burna RP, people just keep saying they're good so I take their word for it.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

People in the LL match have asked for an extension so is there one?

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Yeah. For all intents and purposes, consider the deadline the 31st at this point.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Right. I meant in quality. I went into this with the intention of writing my best, not my longest. That just kinda happened. Got a lot of editing to do.

So I'm stupid and just cleared my inbox....NOT REMEMBERING TO SAVE THE MESSAGE FROM MYSELF WITH MY RP!

Any chance you can forward me that PM I sent you with my RP in it ASAP?

 

[Blade]

Man, that year long world title reign has gotten your ego to a place that it'll never come down from. I miss 2010 Ty. That guy was cool.

You and me both. Then again, you use 3 words for what should be 30 words...
