Woot for descriptions?

Bookwoman speaking here~

As we all know, we got new templates, new rules concerning elements, Bijuus, jutsus and what not. We are also asked to give a rp sample for characters we'd like to start at higher than genin.
So far so good. We've seen interesting and satisfying rp samples. People have shown themselves as worthy for their ranks.

What saddens us, the staff, is that we see some people revert back to "two sentence posts" after the rp sample. As well know, it is hardly enjoyable to reply to a post that gives less than the minimum information that we'd need to make a nice and properly looking RP.

So, in the name of the staff, I wanted to ask people to try to add more style to their posts, add more descriptions, be more precise with the punctuation, caps and what not else we need to make a post look nice~

To make myself clear, I'll give you an example.

Quote :

John walked towards the house.
He knocked at the door.
Paul opens the door and they drink coffee.
"Did you find the missing nin?"
"Yes, I did." But I won't tell you were he is

...We cal all realize this is very short and slightly confusing. Who did find the missing nin? Where do they drink coffee? Where are they? Where is the house? Who's house is it? Etc, etc.

Now, let's try to make this post look somewhat nicer~

Quote :

John walked with a quick pace towards Paul's house, that was at the other end of the Village of Blood.
It was a small building, with the traditional black walls and red roof, decorated with ugly looking demons. The door was made of wood and the windows were all closed shut.
He knocked at the door and waited for his friend to open. A minute later, Paul, a tall young man opened to him.

The owner of the house invited John to sit in the living room while he prepared some coffee. Sitting down on the green couch, John relaxed while waiting for Paul.
When both of them were sipping at their coffe, Paul asked:
"Did you find the missing nin?"
John nodded.
"Yes, I did."
Closing his eyes, John thought 'I won't tell you though...'

We all know that not everyone is good in describing. But please try to elaborate in your post about what your character does, what he sees, hears, feels or maybe smells. Not only it makes the RP more interesting, but it also gives the other RPers somewhat more to work on.

Thanks for considering this post and trying to make somewhat longer posts~
