Add some description of what's going on, explain what's going on, give some emotion besides a robotic statement, add personality to your character and include several characters instead of one all-powerful leader. The difference between a good RP people want to read and a bad RP is detail; that's what keeps things interesting. But for all those how are saying you need to give emotion, look at the RP threads few of them have people writing in emotion. One liners are fine there is nothing wrong with them, they make things more interesting. I prefer small posts as I don't want to send forever writing one up or reading one.

While one sentence doesn't convey much emotion, I don't usually see much in longer posts (with exceptions of course). Most of the best posts are really, really long, and most people often don't time for that. Even mid-length posts hardly ever have emotion.

I think we can all agree that documents like the Geneva Conventions, places like The Hague, and institutions like the United Nations, do not exist in TSP, and therefore cannot be referenced as part of our roleplays, right?

Agreed, particularly given that TSP counterparts exiat or are being proposed.
I do not agree, I believe we should allow these references. Yes, we have some TSP counterparts, but I do not think we need to reinvent all the international laws and conventions. Also, clearly the "outside world" exists. If not, why would our citizens speak English, Spanish, Chinese etc?
Why would we make reference to the Geneva Convention, for example, when no such thing as the Geneva Contention exists in the South Pacific? Kringalia never signed any such Convention, nor is it a member of an organization called the United Nations. That is not to say that we need to completely rewrite all international laws, of course we don't want to do that. But we can't simply say that the laws that real life countries have signed and ratified suddenly apply here. Again, because these real life countries do not exist in here, so nobody really approved them. They simply do not exist in the world of the South Pacific, because the "outside world" does not exist.
English exists, but it did not originate in England, because in this world there is no such place as England. Same with all other languages. There probably is an explanation as to why a language called English exists in our world. Otherwise, it'd be like saying that the English in The Lord of the Rings originated in England, or saying that Sauron should be brought before the International Criminal Court.

I think you will actually find that English came from the Germans when the Britons "invited" them to help them fight off the Picts and Gales in Scotland. Over time the language was changed and is the language we all know and love today.

Then what about nations that role-play for example a German heritage, has colonies outside of TSP or operates mines on the Moon? I'm nut sure here, but I do believe that English is meant to represent another language in the world of Tolkien. The same goes for the use of English in Star Wars, if I'm not mistaken.
My point was that English (as the language that we speak today, as opposed to Old English, for instance) originated in England. But yes, you are right, ultimately.

Then those nations are not roleplaying in the same world as the rest of us. It wouldn't make sense to be in the same roleplay, since we do exist in the same "dimension", so to speak.
