[D] Haa. Haa. Haa.

Rundown: [community profile] 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?


Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

I've been in the game for every fourth wall event so far and I've always completely ignored the posts that just consist of "OMG [character] SUDDENLY HAS LEGENDARIES!!! isn't that totally wacky?!"

Using the setting and making silly things happen with Pokemon swarms or something is one thing if it's funny and creative, but without fail every time this event rolls around, there's a billion posts with nothing to them except SUDDENLY: ARCEUS.

I always enjoy these events outside of that, though.

This event in particular is bad because since it breaks the fourth wall and no one remembers, the idea is you have free reign to fuck around however you want.

Four fuck arounds straight is a little much for me.

... I agree that it's annoying, but how does that make THIS event particularly bad?

It's pretty much literally exactly the same as all the others- they ALL break the fourth wall and nobody remembers after.

I'm saying it's ALWAYS been bad and perhaps repeating a bad event over and over makes it less fun every consecutive time?

I'm with the other anon. The stuff after this can't get here soon enough.

It's one of the reasons I got tired of Fourth Wall events. After a while, even IC it stops being "what the fuck even happened" to "oh, we lost another three days. Huh." Route has them twice a year, iirc, whereas other games have them once a year if even that much. It doesn't sound like much more, but it's enough to make them feel a little stale after a while, imo.

Fourth Wall events aren't inherently bad, but when they happen semi-frequently...

What do you call semi-frequently. They've only happened twice a year that was it and that was since the game started. So about 4.

It would be more of a problem if it was every month or so. This time there is talk of character protesting on the dream thing and ended up every place.
