17. I'm not sure I follow your logic. If you think that dialog-based RPs are bad, and the players aren't as good as the prose players tend to be, if they all stopped being bad dialog RPers, wouldn't they then just become bad prose RPers? It seems to me that if you don't like the kind of players who would prefer to do it one-liner style, then the recent popularity of said style would do nothing but siphon off that sort of player from the games you would enjoy. I know for a fact that the style of RP you're looking for is still out there. Hell, you've gotten several recommendations in this very post.

... unless of course you're just bitching to let out steam. Because we all deserve to be bitches in our fandom secrets.
