rpanons | Preserve your precious virginity

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.

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.

We're almost ready to go!

We now have a game name: The Earth. Utilitarian, but I like it. I might tweak it a bit to Save the Earth instead but it will do for now.

We also have our IC community,

savetheearth and our OOC community

saveyourselves. I decided not to have separate network and log communities, but instead will have both types of post in the same place. I've always wanted to have a game like that, but if it doesn't work out I'll not have a problem splitting them up later.

Finally, I've decided on a city name. Locke City. That's pronounced the same as lock, for those of you who've never seen that surname before.

Setting, unchanged from last time aside from the new city name.
FAQ, some small changes in the Season One Specific FAQ as I attempt to make things clearer.
Echoes, unchanged from last time aside from a link to the Echoes request page.
Applications, now with a note declaring when the game will open.
Rules, new and explaining AC.
City Development, a new page. I hope it makes sense, so tell me what you think of it.
Reserves, which you can start posting on now if you really want.

A lot of behind the scenes activity has gone on too. I've developed a lot of the plot points that will come along and attempted to anticipate character responses, but years of DnD have taught me that you never really know. I'm gonna play fast and loose to keep to the ideal that character actions actually matter more than a predetermined story.

At present what needs to be done are-

Setting up the HTML and beautification of the communities, which I may need help with. I'm okay with the HTML you need to play and I'm sure I can learn enough to set up a game. But if someone wants to speed things up, go ahead and volunteer, I'll be grateful.

Finding co-mod(s). Even if I keep saying 'we' for some reason, it's just me right now. I'm reasonably certain I can handle the game alone for a couple of months but I doubt I can run the show solo indefinitely. I'll open up applications after a while of doing it myself, so I can pick someone who I've seen in action.

As always, input welcome and there's still time (and a good chance) things will change a bit more before we really open.

I really like the sound of "Save the Earth" as a game name. It feels memorable, and "StE" as an abbreviation is recognizable.

Also: are you going to have a Mod Contact page set up? While anon-modding is done sometimes, players often feel more comfortable playing in a game in which the mod's identity is known. So, you might attract more players this way.

Agreed. A three word title works a bit better too.

Anyway, that simply slipped my mind. I'll work something up.

The final name is Save the Earth. I'll print up the t-shirts.

I think my HTML is good enough for now. The communities might look a little weird empty, but I think it looks better with posts, so the starry background is actually a background and not the whole screen.

Unless anyone has anything to bring up before I do, I'm going to start advertising tomorrow.
