What is it about Roleplay and Posting?

I just don't get it. How come people just seem to post in roleplays so slowly? I'm not saying particularily about the TVC, as it is pretty fast for roleplays; but in general, posting in roleplays is so much slower than in other threads (The Countdown Thread, for instance cheesygrin ) yet it is so much more pro-active and, I guess seeing as they signed up in the first place, more enjoyable for the people than, say, posting a number. (Such as 69 Perv )

Can anyone shed some light on this anomoly? Or will it remain a secret forever? (And no, I don't want a load of posts telling me it's going to be a secret for eternity..... cheesygrin )

EDIT: DOH! I wrote the title out wrong. (Those of you blessed/cursed with grammar will see me obvious yet subtle error. Similar to the "There is a *new line* a blue bird *new line* sitting on the wall, or something like that anyway.)

What could this be?

Basically it's a lot easier to post a number then post in a roleplay, you have to think about the later for a bit and try and make it interesting. Some other posts there are much easier replys

Get out of my sig *shakes fist*. A note for Darvy, I'm sure he'll find this, you've had Beethoven isn't epic in your sig for a few weeks now.

You is sooooo dead.

It's because you have to type so much more in a roleplay - the same if you was thinking of writing a story.......on that note I need to go and post! cheesygrin

Disciple of Nagash, the perverted master,
The more you struggle, the more he goes faster.
Give him breast, and give him bust,
The more you give the more he thrusts.
And as you all shall soon see, there is nothing that he will not conceive
Whether dark or whether weird, its guaranteed to make you real
But in the end we all see, he is the forum master and perverted seed.

Basically, the only error I see is the superfluous a....
ZING! I'm making a habit of this.
Personally, I think that it's not so much the amount of text, but the effort required in thinking of what to write... In the countdown thread, all you have to do is take away 1 from the previous number.

Gunhearts Character: 'Fence'

Epic (co-written)
Warpstone
Donuts
Something Wicked This-way Comes - you can start from here if you read the (very short) Plot synopsis.

Plus sometimes you really need a certain person to post and if they're busy then you're waiting for a while (you can't just have 2 or 3 people killing thousands of foes while the others aren't posting after all)
The effort involved in making a good post for a roleplay (something I'll never achieve cry ) means that the 5 mins spare people have can't really be used for TVC, instead they can easily post a number or 1 or 2 lined view on another topic.

Speed - 5

Tactical Knowledge - 1 (3 with Humans)
Magical Lores - None (Doesn't use Magic)
Raw Magical Power - 1
Magical Skill - 1
Technology - Wargear Maintenance - 2 (10 with own Wargear)

Grrr damn you people, giving me reason and proper, structured comments! Where are the random undead ramblings, that's what I want to hear!cheesygrin

On a more serious note, yeah, your right. Modern society has fallen to where people are too lazy to say anything, but would prefer to just write a number. (But what when you reach 0, eh?!)cheesygrin
