Opinion - Post Length (15 points) - Minimum 150 words

Could there be better ways of ensuring that there was something to react to other than a word requirement?

Playtime! (2-30 points) - 2 point per post made by you. Each post must be at least 100 words long to count.
Even though this class does not offer the chance to use the theories we learn in practice, it does not mean that you will not be able to get points for Role Playing. Send a snippet of a Role Play you've participated in to receive points for it: Each post made by you is worth two points as long as each post is at least 100 words long. All plays must of course comply with HOL rules. Make sure your Role Play partner(s) are alright with you sharing your play with me and make sure to clearly indicate which posts are yours. If you do not have a Role Play partner or simply wish to play both sides, you may do so as well.
