rpanons | [D] Haa. Haa. Haa.

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.

Anon I'm sorry, my bold capslock wasn't a capslock of rage but honestly just meant to bring attention to it? There has been a lot of discussion about it, and some unhappy people about how Aather's playing style works, so I figured the more clear I was the better, since you mentioned wanting to app. I apologize if I looked like a raging anon!

That being said, honestly, it also kind of depends on the player and character, like in all games. Personally I always tries to give something to the other person to reply to.

nothing to worry about! i didn't really think you were raging so much as a little irritated, it's all good. i wasn't aware there had been previous talk about this kind of thing. c:

yeah, i figured that a lot of this had to do with player's specific styles as well as maybe some character being kind of reticent. i was just a little confused because i'd come across a character that i know to be pretty wordy and prone to inner reflection being played that way, so i just wanted to check and make sure that was the norm.

not your fault you weren't aware of it-- and I really should have been more clear. Glad this is sorted out, sorry again anon!

and yeah, pretty much it's the norm, though it really depends and varies. Like you said it has to be with player's specific styles, characters, then scenes and the like.

personally I prefer this sort of style since I feel like writing things like "[ he's looking like there's something off, a sad expression on his face while he thinks it's a pity bananas aren't ruling the world yet ]" is sort of trying to tell the other player "hey, poke him about that!" and it doesn't feel natural to me. I try to give subtle hints when my character is feeling off, and expand on it only if it actually comes up in the thread.

but honestly I think any playing style is fine! If you want to join and you prefer to be more wordy in your tags and go into a bit of introspection, I'm certain nobody will mind. The problem is really whether you think you can play against this style, rather than what you prefer to do yourself.
