+1. 5 minutes is way too short; 10 minutes gives one ample time to read the other emotes and formulate a decently thought-out response.

RP comes in all shapes and sizes. One of the reasons for my long-term love affair with TI is that it accepts and encourages all different types of RP, and that people with different philosophies can come together to tell a story. I won't use the term "ParaRP", because I know where it comes from and ...

I saw this forum thread with some surprise. Without detracting from the issue at hand, I would like to clarify my situation, since there seems to be some confusion in a critic's post as to what happened to establish my inactivity.

Using /self instead of "he", in this example, will get rid of your name from the beginning of the emote.

I like this idea, but I'd be more inclined towards the "gifted" amount of IP be determined by something other the amount of people who turn up. PC attendance doesn't reflect the amount of work put in, nor the impact of the event on the city in general (we must assume that there is an ambient and NPC...
