Always accept as fact what the other person says. Then add a bit of info to it. So if someone tells you that he's ready to fight against an evil goblin army, then acknowledge that info and build on it.

Can you imagine waiting a long time while your peer was typing up a huge message? What could you do, other than sit and wait? How could you possibly add to the story if you have no idea what huge message your peer is typing up? For these reasons, feel free to rapidly fire out short messages
