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.

I agree and disagree at the same time. I like the fact that we're having so many events now because before the new plot mod was brought aboard, this game was starting to feel way too much like slice of life rather than the horror game it's supposed to be. The murder tv plot is player-run, not a mod one, so they didn't have any control over when that went up. I feel like the issue of plots being unresolved lies with the players somewhat as well. The last event post is filled with unfinished/barely started threads. Things can't be resolved if characters aren't actually shown to make an effort, you know?

That said, I am a little disappointed that the plots don't seem to be relevant to anything. And what about the puzzles promised on the profile? My character has been here for months and never once had to solve even one. I think characters solving puzzles to get more info on the company/game/point of everything would be a great addition to the usual plots. Bonus points if the solutions to the puzzles aren't given to us OOCly, so that people have to make an effort to gain that info.

When it comes to dropped threads...the problem is that a lot of these plot-relevant threads are left unfinished because there's no real direction or purpose to the events. I've noticed that an event will be usually be outlined in a vague way. The threads end up petering out because the players don't have anything to go on or anything to do after a while. Some of the onus is on the players to work toward an ending of course, but when there's no ending to be found...

There were puzzles in the missions, but no one ever touched them or finished the missions in general. I think they're getting phased out, since there hasn't been one in months. Guess you could always ask and see about getting some again, with the new plot mod.
