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.

Concerns?

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

- get to know your game's rules about player plots, especially if your character is the type to do those. Know what sort of villain you have! If it's a supervillain type that's gonna explode a bank, you'll definitely need to know if you need mod permission for that. If it's a sneaky, machivellan sort of villain, knowing the ways in which the character can take advantage of the setting to make things to their own ends.

- Woobifying is when you explain away all of your characters' evil deeds to say he's not that bad or should be the hero or the always maligned ~misunderstood~. But the reverse of that, over-vilifying in order to avoid woobifying isn't the best solution either. Just because a character is a villain doesn't always mean they don't have a line they draw in the sand. Know your character - acknowledge the good traits and the bad and why they're a villain and why they act a certain way. Don't deny their more fucked-up actions, but don't let people bully you into doing whatever they need for their character to angst this week.

- Player permission when you want to mess with their characters is good! Also permissions post if it's a particularly dark, mature villain (for example, I wouldn't put up a permissions post for a villain from most children's cartoons, but a rapist/serial killer might want to give people an opt-out for certain subjects/interactions).

- Most villains are active characters, so a lot of the plotting/events/story arcs will probably be on your shoulders.

- Treasure what positive cr you have, but be willing for it to turn to negative cr. In fact, treasure your negative cr, it can be one of the most fun things about playing a villain character.
