Yes, I noticed that as well.

RPs don't usually have a proper story line. It just have a basic plot that the players are free to exploit and expand. The problem with having a lot of players is that each RP-ers have different ideas on how to develop the plot, which often clash with the thread creator's and other players' ideas. That's why the story gets spammy easily, and it just... well, dies. Allowing a single player to have multiple characters is more or less okay, but if they control too much, or are simply not skilled in roleplaying, they would just interact with themselves, and that's not good for the flow of the RP either.

I myself prefer Fantasy RP- especially the Epic/Heroic fantasy type of setting. I don't mind modern setting too, though, because it allows me to write about technology and ramble about scientific stuffs.

Anyone else have any other opinions?
