Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Concerns?

yes

this is hallowed ground for hatred and pettiness nobody gets to be nice here

though i don't know what lk is i don't yugioh

LK = LittleKuriboh, the guy that does the abridged series

don't be shy

Okay. I'll go be a huge bitch elsewhere on the meme to balance this out.

LK = Little Kuriboh and some people in this fandom think he'll sing the hymn to end this world or something.

I just want to emphasize that not all our LA players are like that. I play primarily LA characters, and I like to think my CR is pretty varied and, as much as I like doing prose just for the fun of it, I do much more actionspam. The people anon mentioned do exist, but they're certainly not in the majority!

I can't speak for everyone, obviously, but I've been here a while and my experience has (on the whole) been positive. Like most games, our image on anoncomms and the reality of the game are pretty different.

Okay, so... I'm not sure how to explain my exact problem, but I'll give it my best shot. :|a

I've been roleplaying for while now, but mostly in a first person journaling/"letter writing" style. I do roleplay on lj and dw and have been doing so for several years, but the style (what I'd describe as short snippets of conversations being exchanged back and forth?? idek) is still a little difficult for me. I tend to overthink my tags and try to cram too much into them when "normal" conversations (which most tags your typical lj/dw game mimic pretty well, imho) aren't really like that. The basic result is that my tags end up coming out clunky and awkwardly dense.

Anyway, not sure how much sense that made, but tl;dr how do I teach myself to write realistic conversations and not overthink my tags so much?

Oh, good. More wacky hijinks. It must be, what, an entire two weeks since the last bout of wacky hijinks?

They were kind of ambiguously written, but the way I interpreted both of those first two was that they were trying to make it look like they were rescuing her when really they were wanting to drug and take advantage of her. I can see how they could be taken either way, though.

let me guess

playing with your remaining cr is like sucking the runny juice from the bottom of the sno-cone or something

Ugh. Are the AUs in this game any better?

Probably to be played as having made all the good karma decisions, from InFamous 2 but at some point before he finds out the truth about the Beast and the Plague.

Great. SO it's got one lying, thieving douchebag mod who won't even admit to it when she's called out. One mod who's so afraid of any sort of confrontation that she buries her head in the sand so deep she pops out in China. One stolen game concept. Low enthusiasm, and only a handful of characters who aren't horrible Mary Sues and Gary Stus.

I give it three months.

Glad I got the info before I let myself get talked into apping here. Can anyone find me a decent game with low drama and actual staying power? I've just about given up hope.

Lol

Maybe aloof and such wasn't quite what I was looking for to describe him (I admittedly tend to joke more about descriptions and oh ha ha emo Cloud without really seeing it that way, so I apologize for that!).

It's more... hmm. Being a little shy and unsure of himself has kind of stuck through the whole compilation, while on the other hand he's still cocky and legitimately capable. He will talk to people (and accept their crazy side quests) and he's not exactly unfriendly, but he's also usually surrounded by close friends/family that support him.

There's also my confusion with blending in just how much he talked in OG and how much of that was him really being talkative, how much was just for the players sake, and how he's a bit more quiet later on. Quiet in the sense that he tends to mull things over then offer another question for clarification or just not really say much at all. How much of his I'M SO UPSET LET ME ABUSE ELLIPSES TELLING YOU HOW UPSET I AM is him actually saying these things and not just a way to get around not being able to see facial expressions? haha.

Reserved, maybe? It's difficult when post game things are a movie where he's not quite himself and a game where he has like five lines. Sure he's more confident and jokes, but he's going to be in a situation where everything and everyone he knows is gone. It won't be as dramatic as ACC for sure, but I think that might throw him off a little too for awhile.

Some of my other characters are way more outgoing, will talk and ask questions to pretty much anyone, so in comparison to me Cloud can seem a little more off on his own instead sometimes (which might just be the center of my problems, he's a little off from my "type"). It's kind of like comparing Yuffie to him in a way, she'd be jumping in and demanding answers and chatting but he'd look for specific people that might actually know something to go to.

I don't want to end up defaulting to a kind of sulky or quiet Cloud, but I also don't want to go overboard tagging outside his scope and talking too much because I want to be involved ooc, you know? ...Which is a balance I'll learn along the way! haha.

lol okay

carry on with your grudgehurt

I am the latest ever to this (as I seem to be with tags as well), but I wanted to say thanks for the appreciation anon! I wasn't anticipating being mentioned given how slow I am in memes in the first place, but the acknowledgement does mean a lot <3

What's the difference?

Passing comment, but I don't think it falls under the definition of white-knighting if they're doing it for themselves logged in.

Are there any moderate to slow paced games with a Game of Thrones cast that would like a Cersei? I play to book canon with television canon to fill in some gaps.

rudest behavior

I hope CFUD players don't stand for that shit next time

Oh my GOD. I can't believe people are still spamming Namco's youtube and facebook asking for PS3 Vesperia (and it's the same people, it's not like a massive crowd either). The 360 version turns 4 this year, the PS3 one turns 3. Do I really need to explain the flawed logic of localizing an old game? Heck, Graces sales did "alright" but nothing to boast about.

I am just getting so much second hand embarrassment for these entitled little brats who have no idea what goes into localizing a game.

Hmmm. He does fit the look I have in mind pretty closely, actually! Lack of a cap aside, I think he'll do very well if I end up unable to find any alternatives.

Thank you, anon! ♥

They embarrass me too brosis. I remember reading something about how the Tales Studio still made a huge loss on PS3 Vesperia in Japan.

Anyway, these are the fandom retards you're advised to avoid. Just ignore them like Namco wisely does because they'll never stop. (And I never thought I'd use Namco and wise in the same sentence before.)

The last event was three weeks ago and practically flopped from all the hiatuses. I think re-call is a good event to have right now.
