RPGs are inherently of a higher standard than E-Wars. more detail involved, more creativity required. they're what help you develop your writing skills most. E-Wars are just that. wars. their only purpose is to fight. and though i rarely tell anyone off for focusing on one RPG, that's mostly because usually that doesn't happen. activity is frequently split between a couple of RPGs or so. in E-wars, there is occasional activity and what's there is good or bad depending on the E-War in question, and even the writer him/herself. The RPGTEW gets too much attention during civil wars. understandable, but a waste of time. you don't benefit as a writer as much from that as you do from, say, a descriptive post in somewhere like FRPG...
also, the deal generally is that you don't let your activity in one place take from your activity elsewhere. i seem to remember emphasising that repeatedly in RPG and E-War suggestion topics....
