Poll: Should we change the Warfare RP rules from 3 rps per show to 2?

One thing Theo pointed out to me when we discussed this last night (in bed) is that obviously in an unlimited scenario, writing fewer RPs does not necessitate writing less overall. Though it DOES remove one of the opportunities to directly respond to your opponent's writing.

IMO sometimes less is more, which goes for word counts as well as number. I think I would rather read 3 RPs spread over two weeks than read 2 massive ones that all equal the same count. There's a sort of fatigue that sets in during a long-ass RP. like, okay, when does this thing wrap up, etc. Of course, there's also nothing stopping someone from reading half of an RP and picking it up later to finish.

I think some of the problem comes with peoples' natural tendency to wait until the last minute. We know this is never going to change, all of us do it. Look at the Denzel show. Almost every RP was the last day. When I put the soft deadline thing in place it was to ease some of that, and it works, but we still very often end up with 2 RPs from opponents on the last day. It sucks for everyone involved.

There is no perfect answer, but we need to have the right balance for what is good for writers as well as what's good for opponents and judges and show builders - because if ANY of those folks are rushed, EVERYONE ends up worse off for it.
