Should Role-plays that are a direct response to someone else's be made as a reply or a separate thread?
I have noticed a couple where opponents have just added RP as a reply. I was wondering how everyone felt about it.
I think that RP should be separate at all times, even if they directly continue on from another person's RP.

Well.. I almost missed a couple rps like that.. LOL.. >_>
Where I come from, the place wasn't a message board and it was set up where the RP's couldn't be responses. Every RP was a separate thing. So it's weird to me, but I'm catching on. A lot of times in the past HERE, I'd check out an rp and then keep it in mind.. and then if there were a couple responses I wouldn't look back at it right away because I just assumed it was people comenting on the rp, not that it was possibly more rps! But I'm getting it now.
In my opinion, the rps should each be separate posts UNLESS it's two or more people who are writing an RP as it goes along. For examples of what I mean, there was Brandon Ripley/Fabs Jones/Darqeness rp and a D Money/Marcus Kaine rp like that. I get that. In my opinion if you are talking about something that happened in an RP, but it's not part of the last rp, it should be a different post.
But now that I think about it, there was an e-fed I was in a LOOONG time ago that was on boards like this and there was one card a week. Every week in the "RP" section of the boards the owners would make a thread for every match and that's where the people in the match rped. Then at the end of the week it was easy for them to look at rps on a match for match basis without having to skip all over the boards and maybe overlook something for that match. So I can see the benefit of keeping everything in one place too.
I'm doing a better job of paying attention to responses to rps so hopefully I'm doing a better job of keeping track of stuff right now.
Good topic for discussion.

I personally like it better as a response in the same thread, that way you don't have to spend all that extra time looking around for other threads that might be a response to the original. Plus it keeps the overall forums page more compact.
