All posts were done in strict third person limited perspective... the perspective of the viewer, the other players. Players can't read minds, so emoting thoughts and feelings was frowned upon.
The focus was player interactions, so extended conversations with NPCs in the company of players was seen as odd.
It's pretty much down to individual taste, here.
I use that 3rd person limited perspective for my own RPs, using body language, tone and expression to convey what my characters are thinking and feeling.
I don't mind at all if others choose to give us glimpses of their character's thoughts, that's fine.
And I do prefer the short and concise posts too. Sometimes a longer one is necessary to set the scene, but after that quick back-and-to's are nice and more engaging.
