Ask AI: Explain what Low Effort Roleplay means and provide two examples

Low Effort Roleplay, often abbreviated as LERP, refers to a style of roleplaying where participants put minimal effort into their character's actions, dialogue, or overall development. This can manifest in rushed or short responses that lack detail, consistency, and depth. It can also include scenarios where a player does not remain true to their character's persona and acts out of character without explanation. Essentially, in low effort roleplay, players might not fully engage in the storytelling or immersive aspect of roleplaying. Example 1: If Player One writes: "John spots an old book on the table. He picks it up and starts examining it carefully." And Player Two responds with: "Sarah walks in." This is considered low effort roleplay because Sarah's action lacks any sort of detail, interaction, or emotion. A better response could have been something like, "Sarah enters the room, her curiosity piqued by John's intense examination of the old book." Example 2: Player writes: "Mysterio, seeing his enemy approach, raises his shield and readies his sword, gritting his teeth in anticipation of the upcoming battle." The response is: "Rocky punches him." This response is a low effort roleplay because it overlooks the setup provided by the first player. A more engaging response would involve descriptive action, sentiment, and continued character development, like "Rocky, understanding the gravity of the situation, charges with a determined glare, aiming his fist right at the heart of Mysterio."
