I'm still not quite grasping why long posts are a posting requirement. I think any host would find it hardpressed to force anyone to write lengthy posts. To each his own, then. ;D

In the last game (the LOTR one) two of the roles would 'compete' with each other to post longer posts (or something like that) and the one which one got SPs (i think, i may be wrong). So it's possible post requirements could be to do with post length.

I guess I win then since nobody's beating my post length. XD Where are my secret powers, Twizz? Oh wait. I guess I'm competing against Twizz. I will beat her. >:O You're going down, Twizz. I want all the secret powers, like my own special horde.

Edit: Well, I guess there are then. However, I guess I don't see it in the context of this game. Usually, posting requirements would have to relate with the role, right? Is there a mythical scribe or something famous for writing really, really long things? If there is, I want your role. Like now. Please. The amount of time I spend writing these will then be worth it. You can have my role and crown and whatever else I babbled on about.

Urth ran his hand along the side of the hedge maze, swiping at the dead end in frustration once they all reached it. Sighing, he reached into his right pocket and uncrumbled a piece of scrap paper. Dipping his hand into his other pocket, he pulled out a pencil and quickly marked out a grid on the map, then marked out the path they'd taken so far before folding it up neatly and putting it back in his pocket. "Sorry, this reminds me of way too many RPGs, and old habits die hard." he remarked before turning around, his hand once again running along the right hand side.

I was put up for the first execution? I hope that was from some randomness of Twiz and not someone choosing with their role. Otherwise, that would be a very bad choice. lol Can the dreamer please dream me? You really don't want me dead.

I love reading Syrill's posts. That's just how he is. ^.^

I am confused by the maze already, so I will be a copycat and say:

Movement 1: North
Movement 2: North
Movement 3: North

As before, once again. If you could say "zephyr" it would be advantageous.

Long posts are long. So are long lessons. Will properly read all of Syrill's posts later.

I shall begin this post by expression my apologies, profusely. For what reason I did not post, nor did I vote, I am entirely unsure. I came onto the computer and clicked the button that reached to me with all the allure of a world of information at my fingertips. I couldn't resist. I had to click. You know the feeling? The feeling of infinite knowledge at your fingertips. A very powerful feeling to say the least. And we all know that power corrupts. Alas, to what extent can we expect this? How corrupting is the internet, in this day and age where information is as free as a butterfly flutters its wings? Should this corruption give rise to greater censorship?

Firstly we must analyse the extent to the fullness of this information. To say its infinite could be considered an overstatement, to some, but in reality, does the information contained on the world wide web have a limit? Hypothetically, yes. But if you were to eternally search for new information and data, I assure you that there would be a surprise waiting around the corner. You can always find something new out on the internet, whether it a dreary snippet of a dreary life, or the latest news story. I shall make the assumption while testing my hypothesis that indeed, information is without limit on the internet.

If you were to read everything that the internet had to offer, obviously, as the above explains, this would be impossible, but, for arguments sake, let us assume it were possible. Under this assumption, what kinds of information would be be exposed to? Undesirable information, I assure you, that many people would never like to see again in their lives. Yet as we absorb limitless information, do we become acclimatised to our surroundings? Do our social surroundings condition us to accept what we might have previously considered vulgar?

Using an example to express a point, what of a policeman? There are many policemen out there. Many of these policemen are perfectly capable and moral beings, but some abuse their power, and are corrupt. What has corrupt them in this instance? Some may indeed argue that their position of power has actually led to their downfall from otherwise upstanding beings. Perhaps the constant feeling of fighting a war that they're losing has run them down over time, leading to them joining the rat-race of criminality and corruption? It is certainly within the bounds of logic and reason. But does logic and reason uphold itself even on the internet? Some may argue otherwise, but for the bounds of the hypothesis, I shall null such arguments and accept that the internet is just the digitalisation of our human lives, where we live and breath with the powers of cables and electricity.

How does this reflect the absorption of all information available at our fingertips, you may query? I believe that this proves that in the majority of cases, eventually, with such high degrees of power available to us, the huge amount of knowledge will corrupt our thinking and our morals, turning us into mere ghosts of our former selves. Many would face such a problem, I believe, unable to find optimism as we are confronted with the bleakest of subject matters. Would be join the rat-race? Perhaps not in all cases. But would be accept it as part of the ordinary? I think this is certainly within the bounds of reason, in fact, it is highly likely. Our strong moral fights against such subjects would be worn down as the sense of helplessness drowns us, and we are left floundering in seas of evil.

Knowing that this is inevitable in the majority of cases, should usage of the internet be censored such that our time is limited, perhaps? This would certainly remove the threat of corruption and dangerous behaviour encroaching society. How much is this a freedom of our civil liberties and free will? I believe that such action may be seen as drastic by some, certainly those who have already indulged in such corruption and are themselves corrupt and endorse such behaviour, but perhaps a necessary breach of our liberties in order to prevent the liberties and beliefs we today stand for from deteriorating and becoming but glimpses into history. The age of information is perhaps our darkest yet in contrast to alleged enlightenment, as information is taken from beyond its purpose and corrupts, making otherwise respectable humans power-hungry and criminal, I believe. I think such effects are already becoming increasingly apparent, especially among internet morsels like one in particular on this thread, by the name of Syrill. Perhaps his overly extravagant and lewd behaviour is the result of power and knowledge corrupting him? I think this is entirely plausible.

I invite all to discuss and debate the points of the above argument.

Quick, someone check if Syrill has died! 'Cause I think Pixa's channeling him!

No kidding.

And...because of that ridiculous post, and the fact that I suffered through reading it since there was nothing bolded that might be useful...

Yes, two of the roles competed with post lengths, but they also had a sort of "max" number of words to stay under (which was a random number between 50 and 100), so unless Twiz has one with no max number of words, etc...
