Why Description is Important in RP's, the Short Answer:

1. Because it makes other people care about your characters. If I write "Chuugo fires a fuuma shuriken whilst dodging the attack" it means nothing to my RP partner. It is stale, boring, and one line that does nothing more than give a Pokémon list of actions. If you reveal what your character is thinking, what they are feeling, and how they process the attacks of an opponent, not only does it add spice to an RP, it brings your character to life. Which means the other RPer, and readers in general, are more likely to care about your character.

2. Because a well decribed post is freakin' epic. RPs are between two or more people. You need to consider your partners in this as well. You might not feel the need to write a descriptive post: but it is important to the other person because it makes things more interesting, and adds impact. One line = boring. Boring = nobody cares. And that is why it is important to write descriptive posts. Because people do actually, believe it or not, care.
