Rping does require some effort from everyone in order for it to be alive and thriving. Seriously, even a bad rp with a bad rp can develop into something better if the people involved are willing to persist with posts. As it stands from experience, a general rp will not flourish if the people involved don't commit to it. 1 to 2 individuals can only so much before boredom takes a hold. (From what I've seen anyway)
