    I found them in the deleted bin. Both entries were so far below the standard for entries that they were deleted. You made no attempts to improve them within a week or two (the normal timeframe), so they were deleted by the moderators.

    This one was deleted for lack of quality and the fact you did not try to fix it in a timely manner. The entry was too short. It did not adequitely explain the item and its background. In fact the information was confusing and contridictory. Can you put it down? He will live forever, unless he gives it away (can't be stolen?), for putting it down (unposession means putting down) will kill him. The powers are not explained in the manner that was useful to anyone. It possesses UNIQUE POWERS... which are??????

    Whoever holds the most powerful weapon in their land shall lead his fellow demons and live eternally...unless he gives it away, for mere unposession of it will kill him.

    A sword that posesses unique powers. It was given to him by his dad from Demon World and whoever holds the most powerful weapon in their land shall lead his fellow demons and live eternally...unless he gives it away,for mere unposession of it will kill him.

    Magical Properties: This item is cursed.

    This one is more or less the same problem. It is too short. The description is not helpful, nor useful for anyone to utilize in a game. It also contradicts itself as well.

    Killuarca Kairos | Half Human, Half Demon | Fighter | Swordsman/Moonlight Slayer | Male | Author: sTYkE_monDsHEIn_347 [ Print NPC ] [ Edit Post ]

    "I have a dark past and I'll never let it go. My only light was the moonlight and I want it to stay that way..until now."


    Equipment
    Sword of the Dark Illusion Dragon-a sword that posesses unique powers.It was given to him by his dad from Demon World and whoever holds the most powerful world in their land shall lead his fellow demons and live eternally..unless he gives it away,for mere unposession of it will kill him.

    Appearance
    He wears a black long hooded coat. His eyes turn red when someone's out to get him. His sword's placed at his back, like a samurai, but it's invisible unless he holds it.

    Background
    He has a dark past and he wanted to stay that way.Until something happened that made him realize that only one person ruined his life:himself. After realizing that, he became human, half-human. This made him merciless. His demon identity shall remain with him..FOREVER. He cannot be killed because of his magical sword. It makes him speedy, agile and self-healing. Now he vowed to himself to kill anyone who comes his way, unless he loses at their battle...if he will.

    Notes
    He'd rather be alone. But if he really needs to communicate gently, he will...if he wants to.

    Before you post again, I would like you to do the following things, so your posts will be acceptable and useful to the community.

    1) First, your English skills are acceptable. You can capitalize, punctuate, and form a fairly complete sentance. You would be suprised at the number of people who can't do that... and English is their primary language.

    2) I want you to go to the items section and the NPC sections, click on the rating title, and then read the top 10 rated items in those categories. That will give you an idea on what you what we find acceptable as a post.
    http://www.strolen.com/npc/index.php?order=rating&dir=DESC
    http://www.strolen.com/items/index.php?order=rating&dir=DESC


    2.5) Scroll down to the 3.0 range and see what we consider "average". 3.0 scores are what we consider acceptable. Things with less than honest 2 scores tend to disappear to the great recycle bin in the sky.

    3) I want you to think about your post hard for a good 45 minutes before you post it. It should be worked out in your head before you post it.

    4) Sometimes I will pre-write the entry out in word or wordpad (doc or text). I will then work on it, edit it, and spell check it before I enter it.

    5) It should take you somewhere between 20 minutes to 75 minutes to complete. If it took less than that, it is a good bet that it will go away for lack of quality.

    6) I want you to use "the Gold Standard":
    The Gold Standard: If the Character/ Item/ Location/ Lifeform/ etc is not as well described as a notable Character/ Item/ Location/ Lifeform/ etc in a average fantasy novel, then it is not well developed and described. Your descriptions should be equal to that of a fantasy novel.

    This is not that hard to do, honest. It does not take any special skills. Just try to answer all the questions about the character/ item/ location, appearance, who, what, where, when, and importantly WHY. It is all a matter of investing a little effort.

    (Note this said good fantasy novel, so you can't count The DnD game novels).

    Well, thanks for the advice MoonHunter. I really did rush on doing that one.
    And it was summer here in the Philippines and I got a summer job. That's why I wasn't able to edit those things. Thanks a lot MoonHunter! :D
