[D] How you like me now?

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.

because it was a good idea for a game, it's been dead for months, and there's still no fun space adventure game that's not ataraxion.

I'm not purposefully trying to rip off Trans 9. I'm not really seeing the similarities, other than people being on the ship already and that the replicators can't make food taste good.

Thing is, Stacy was a converted prison ship that was being used for Nefarious Purposes by the 'benevolent' aliens that built her, and would have ended up with the multiverse destroyed and a grand battle to restore everything.

My thing is a fleet of colony and medical ships that are pretty much benevolent. They're not as advanced as Stacy, no insta-cloning body parts and machines that read your mind. There's no real mystery as to what they're doing. They're not even traveling from dimension to dimension, just other planets and solar systems.

So... I'm not really getting the T9 vibes here? I mean, the feel's different, the setting's different, the entire goal is different. Is there something I should be doing to avoid the whole "This is the other Trans 9 knockoff" thing?

as the former T9 player, no, you're fine! I like this. slightly lighter fare, kinda a fun cheesy sci-fi show thing? go for it, please.

another former T9er here, and I think you're doing okay too. this game sounds great and I really hope it gets off the ground. (also I hope you'll consider allowing CRAUs, if you're not going to go the full AU route at least.)

CRAU? That's not one I'm familiar with, sorry.

Character Relationship AU, aka characters with histories/memories imported from other games

Oh! Okay, yeah.

...I'll have to think on that. That can make apps a lot harder to judge. However, this game is set up about right so that it would be very easily possible for such things.

I'm not saying I will or I won't right now, I'm just thinking on it. It might come down to whatever my co-mods think, if I get any.
