[D] Not safe for work

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.

Everything I said can definitely apply broadly, but it seems like this fandom is especially guilty of it because it's so insular and players assume that everyone else cares about this canon as much as they do. Not to say the problem is worse, but there are more people with it, given the relatively modest size of the YGO fandom (on LJ/DW, anyway) compared to certain others.

And you wouldn't find it in the casts, because to be honest, if someone manages to keep a YGO character in a game and actually get CR, then they're probably not making these mistakes.

Sorry to hear that's your experience with the fandom, anon. Personally, all I can say is that when coming to an app-game with a YGO character, I assume (from years of experience) that no1curr about my canon, and by stretch, the character I'm going to play, so I'm ready and willing to fight tooth and nail to get CR instead of waiting for it to be served on silver plate. I know at least a few other YGO RPers with that mindset as well.

I can only hope people who do that will listen to your advice and work on their methods of getting CR in games!
