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. It doesn't look like DW can handle 5,000 comment entries at the moment so 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.

Concerns?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Grimm is fine if the criticism pertains to her, but loses her head a lot more easily if it's about Ty. I can get being protective since they're involved. That's fine. But Ty's a big kid and should fight his own battles.

Hi, guys.

I appreciate the commentary about my courtesy when faced with criticisms. That's kind of actually really pleasing to hear, as it can be difficult sometimes for anyone to adjust to the idea of taking advice or answering questions from others, and I try my best to make sure that people feel comfortable coming to me with any concerns they have regarding my playing. Even if we can't agree, we can at least respectfully agree to disagree.

(While we're here, and discussing that, I would like to make the reminder that anyone with crit, happy comments, or questions is welcome to hit up the HMDs on my character journals -- I'm pretty sure I remembered to make them for their new accounts on DW; I'll double-check later tonight.)

Regarding Ty, I feel that he is able to fight his own battles, and he is free to do so in any manner he chooses, be that explanations or letting things slide off of his back. I would not jump on anyone for replying to his HMD or leaving him concrit somewhere; his characters are his to play, and his to handle. I am aware that the plurk I made the other day was a little too cranky for what could be considered kosher, but it was my own choice to make it, and I let my terrible day at work that day color my judgment that night. I do feel reassured by the brief conversations that were held within it, and I appreciate everyone that took the time out to comment.

While I admit that seeing Ty get namedropped the way he had been was the final straw for that day, and prompted me to finally make that Plurk and have a tiny vent about all the things I had been feeling -- which I feel is a valid emotional response to seeing someone I love hurt -- I had been watching the C&C threads in the last few RPAC posts and was very upset with the way a number of people were being treated over the last few days, whether I knew them well or not. I have never enjoyed seeing events like this tear at the community, and I do feel that there are more constructive ways to handle problems and hash things out, even here on RPAC. That we seemed to do well for a short while after the initial burst and then resumed not long after was incredibly disappointing.

I appreciate the chance to say this here, and that both of you anons have been kind and level-headed, and in the future I will try harder to keep a better check on how I word myself in response to what happens here.
