So Twitter RP is what I been doin' lately
And today an idea kicked me in da nutz
My musebox here is hella dead, but what if
WHAT IF I introduced my two RP families to each other?

I already sent out an invitation to the Twitter folks, but in case they don't come, I'd like to ask you, the box's current/former players: What are your thoughts on Twitter RP?

I'll even bring Kavachi to Twitter and everything, since I know you all love him.

<S>Just kidding, nobody likes Kavachi.</S>

Pros:
+Quick bursts of interaction
+Action tags are short and sweet. No need to write a fucking essay every time your character scratches his balls.
+No communities means the entire site is essentially one big dressing room game. You will never be without someone to interact with.
+Most Twitter RPers actually understand the concept of fun. Translation: Nobody will bitch behind your back unless you just blatantly suck, which NONE OF YOU GUYS DO
+The Twitter RP community is generally a lot more tolerant of breaking the fourth wall. Players (or "writers") quite often speak directly to their characters, and some writers actually forego character accounts entirely and just RP as themselves.

Cons:
-You can and will need to occasionally double-post to get a point across.
-Twitter RPers generally aren't the most literate. It's impossible to take a lot of characters seriously because of this.
-No way to organize conversations, making it difficult to go back and read old posts.
-One email per account makes it a bit difficult to play multiple characters, though there are workarounds for this.
-If you play a female character, expect lots of horndogs who will only follow you in an attempt to get in your pants. You can ignore these idiots though, obviously.
-Only one icon per account, so action tags are sometimes necessary just for facial expressions. *he looks annoyed*

>One email per account makes it a bit difficult to play multiple characters, though there are workarounds for this.

I have four email accounts, but if I give this a try, I'm only using up to three of them as one of them is my work email.

Also I'd have to decide who to bring because you know 235837 million characters

If any of those are Gmail accounts, you can create more than three Twitter accounts by including periods and such when you register. (e.g. I have three different characters using the emails samsonese(dot)alt, sam(dot)sonese(dot)alt, and samson(dot)ese(dot)alt)
You won't get notifications unless you type your email exactly as it really is, but Twitter will still recognize it as valid and unused.

Though, I find Tweetdeck to be more reliable for notifications anyway, so there's no need to even worry about that.

Also in case you're curious/my existing characters would influence which ones you bring if you do this, they include:
-A much, MUCH more developed Robo-Kavachi (like seriously this one could be considered an entirely different character from the CLDR/box one. Kinda like how #Reload Robo-Ky is completely different from GGX2 Robo-Ky amirite?)
-A much, MUCH more evil and manipulative Mr. Zaoh who might as well be AU at this point
-Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. You know, just in case any of your characters need to (SPOILERS).
-Aaaaand an upcoming generic (a Ghost) BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE
