If More than 2 or say three people are on and you want to have a conversation in the thread you could do a joint post, or trade off posts. I post, then you post, then me again, then you'd post next, then it would be mine turn again.
I do not think it would be so much everyone get a turn. I dont mind those that aren't as experienced posting a little less than those that are more experienced. So long as people are posting.
It might go like say this for a group of 4 players;
Player 1
Palyer 2
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 1
Player 4
Player 1
Player 3
Player 2
Player 1
Player 4
While players 1 and 2 posted more, it is important to note that in the above example everyone of the four players posted. Player 1 would probably be the person running it, and player 2 would probably be a person with a bit of experience is this sort of thing, while players 3 and 4 would be people who either have little or no experience in this sort of thing.
It is also important to note that there is no real set order in regard to who posted. Other than the fact that no one double posted. Double posting is generally discouraged and should be avoided if possible. This shouldn't really affect most people other than those running it, as often they may have to post more than once in a row to further advance the story. But as far as regular players go, double posting is frowned upon.

Primarily used Fire claws, Maul, Shockwave, and minions.

That would work fine.
While I appriciate your eagerness, you can't just slap a RP together, you have to working things out.
You need to have a solid chunk of the story at least planned out. Characters (NPCs) people will encounter, places they might go, sure we are using Sanctuary, but it's not quite like how we saw it in D1 and D2 (and few people have seen how it's like in D3, not that I have /cry).
I'm trying to think of an example to better explain this, say we were RPing Diablo 2 we start in act 1, Before we started the person running it should of had all of the content, story, characters, places, etc for act 1 done before they started playing. They should also have had Act 2 and a good chunk of Act 3 plotted out. The exact words that characters say, in these 2 acts may not have been all written down, but at least the direction the story is to go is known. And some basic details of act 4, such as a rough idea of what Hell would look like and some key characters, Hadriel, Haephestos, and Diablo of course.
I hope to get some stuff worked out this week.

But I do this showing an actual number would be nice too.
I think 50 is the next level of reputation for most people here. I'm at 72 and it says I will become famous soon.

Same with V for Vendetta. Mostly the book, as in the book it's a little harder to tell if V is a good guy or a bad guy, because he does some seriously messed up stuff in the book.
Kinda the same with Watchmen. And even John Constantine in Hellblazer. Quite a few of the characters found in the forementioned graphic novels (more than their film counterparts) blur the line between good and evil.
It a bit more etnertaining if a protagonist or one of the protagonists is more of an anti hero than a straight hero.
Hellblazer, V for vendetta, watchmen. All had Alan Moore work on them. hmm. Maybe half the people who do this good vs. evil stuff yshould talk to him. He seems to put an interesting twist on it, most of the time.
Diablo does a good job with the whole concept though I find.

Early stages at the moment, morep eople should turn up.

Character Name: Buliwyf
Playby: Vladimir Kulich
Age: 32
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 195 lbs
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Blonde
Build: Average/Muscular
Gender: Male
Distinctive Characteristic(s): Somewhat stoic demeanor, optimistic
Personal History: Born in a small outlying village in Westmarch, Buliwyf and his brother Jamis grew up listening to grand tales of heroic exploits, these tales compelled the brothers to do all they could to master weapons skills and combat skills. Where ever he travelled in the world his brother was always close behind. The presence of his brother always pushing him to excel in all that he does. Together they began recruiting like minded people to join their cause, and in so doing so founded the Knights of the Burning Blade. Always a stern believer in the principle of 'who lives by the sword dies by the sword'. Never willing to back down from a challenge, yet rarely will he relish in the fight, taking little pleasure in it. He views fighting and battles as a necessity required to see his goals achieved.
Special Training: Training with swords and axes, basic field medicine knowledge.
Weaponry: Claymore, throwing axe, shield
Armour: Basic plate / chainmail combination
Goals and Ambitions: Establish the Knights of the Burning Blade as a large and serious mercenary organization, to reach a level of infamy like that of heroes of the tales from his childhood.

Dialog is always in speech marks, eg "Your curiosity will be the death of you!" cried Zhar. Inner monolgues, or any internal thoughts are always in italics. "I never should have eaten that burrito" I thought to myself before running to the toilet.
Who quotes stuff in RPs? if you need to refer to an earlier statement, you simply reprint it in your post.
Post 1
"Dude, where's your car?" said guy 1
"Where's my car dude?" said guy 2
"Dude, where's your car?" said guy 1
"Where's my car dude?" said guy 2
"Dude, where's your car?" said guy 1
"Where's my car dude?" said guy 2
Post 2
"Where's my car dude?" said guy 2
"Dude is that your car?" said guy 3 pointing to the car over yonder.
Or just follow on from it, sometimes you have to reprint what was said, as you might be wanting to interject something. or if two people over here say are talking about something, and you want to talk to the guy next to you about the same thing, but it was what was said early in the thread that inspired your conversation, then yeah you might want to reprint it.

"The skies shall rain fire, the rivers shall be come as blood, man shall strike man, the rightwous shall fall before the wicked" said the shabbily dressed preacher on a make shift stage with a crowd of enthralled listeners in front of him.
Post 2
Bob and Bill walk down the street and here the ramblings of the preacher.
"The skies shall rain fire, the rivers shall be come as blood....."
"You listening to this butt munch, Bill" said Bob. "This guy was here last week spouting this crap, world is still here, bet it's still here next week too. Tell ya what, if it's not here next week I'll buy you a beer."
"Yeah right jerk off" said Bill. "The day you buy a beer is the day the world ends, oh wait.."
There always is, and there is always someone who makes a super bad ass. Then the guy/s running it just disallows the character.

Umaro said he pretty much would never bring it back. He did give us several off forum IRC channels to use though.

I do not like the idea of setting a minimum (but it maybe yet come to that), as it can be disproportionally stacked by heavy posters, which balance things out to the desired level of say as in the example above, 18 posts a day. Or whatever level was set.
I do not recall how many of people here read my earlier RP threads here, but I was constantly double or in some cases triple posting. More than I should have.
Turn based, i.e one person then anonther person then another person is a good way to do it yes, but there is nothing to stop say you and me from trading off post with one another if there was something we wanted to say. It doesn't have to go Player 1>Player 2>Player 3>Player 4>Player 1>Player 2, etc, you can mix it up, Player 1>player 4>Player 1>Player3>Player 4>Player 2>Player 1.
About the only thing that is somewhat discouraged, mostly as it shouldn't come to it, is double or triple posting. Unless, you are the person running the campaign and you need to advance the story.
But me and Jetrall will have to look into that.
I would love to have one go indifinately or until the story arcs are finished, but realistically I think we (those running it) might have to say set a goal say 1 month and if it is still active we continue, and set a new goal and see if when we reach that time, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, whatever it may be, and it is still going, we should have a pretty strong idea of how it's going and can progress from there.

Is a previous attempt by me. It went quite well for a while then it died. I had so many people voicing interest I had to split it into 3 similtaneous RP threads to make it easier to manage.

That being said it would have to be a much smaller and tight-nit group than in previous attempts. Larger ones, require a lot more management and get over crowded, and need lots of content to keep everyone together and actively engaged.. Smaller groups require that too of course, but not in the same scale or scope. But a high level of activity is still needed.
Much like Jetrall mentioned earlier, making a post every now and again, won't be enough to sustain it in any reall capacity, and it will fall apart. And I would really like to see one do really well and possibly inspire secondary ones to be started by other people.

ANd weekends when I'm not on call, I'd play that maybe 10 hours saturday 10 hours sunday. thats 20. plus 5 hours for Monday to friday that's 5x5=25 + 10 +45. 45 hours a week.
Used to do that with LOD a lot. I'd used to get 30-40 hours of LOD with a lot of you guys. Back when we would hit the HC LOD a lot.
Oh and leaving it connected and WOW running over night while I sleep messes with Xfire. I have done that a few times.

With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more""
And yeah Stormcat likes the warrior/barbarians, *thinks of her BGII character* but what self respecting medieval fantasy character doesn't carry a knife? even the warrior in Diablo pulled out a knife when he cut the soulstone out. No lies. Watch the movie.
So her having a knife wasn't that big of a shock. The fact she used it on Atrumentis, even just threatening him with it, that was unexpected.
And this is good. I like to see things in comics (and movies (though its quite rare in movies nowadays) and books), makes for more enjoyable reading.
Next episode plz. Or part there of.
