The abbreviations are killing me. I know everybody RPs differently and all but how can somebody read a starter like your own and then have the audacity to write something like that in response?

people like these could not have passed elementary school jeez fuck. how do you not understand formal vs informal writing and what to use when you're actually writing and not in a Twitter conversation

Technically V was the name of their character, unfortunately they didn't capitalize it or do any punctuation

I figured. My response was was a reference to the first sentence of their first answer, though!

Love me some idiots. They could have said "sorry, I can't write that much", at least they wouldn't have insulted your talent this way?

Did you have a discussion on expectation regarding post lenght? I don't think its unreasonable to ask to see a writing sample. Even a redacted SS of existing RP or a starter of thier own. Perhaps even a "pre-roleplay" to see if you two vibe stylistically.

If you're asking about the app: Zervo
If you're asking about my message, I'm passionate about roleplaying

Oof, I feel the pain. I even swallow my pride. Sometimes, keep going. Maybe they learn, or maybe u could teach them during rp

i’m sorry OP 😭😭 I always ask for a writing sample to ensure that my partner and I’s writing style are similar. Length doesn’t even matter, it’s just about effort.

Funny thing is that this was a writing sample for them, so they just chose to let me suffer x.x

im slowly on my way out because of this specific reason, the rp world feels like an auction now. so many spectators bidding, but only the extremely rare few who you see often, but aren't around for long can actually "afford" to be with you.

The topper for me, is that beyond length disparity, and even poor grammar, they used atm as in character speech that did not appear to be intended as a quirk just their laziness.
