It's raw you donkey

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.

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.

It's sad to see a game with so much potential for plot falling back on the same tired 'crack' events like age ups/downs and body switches you can find in pretty much any other game.

ia, the old mods did more plots that werent rehashes of age old crack tropes but here's to hoping the new ones pick back up on that

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just didn't want to be That Guy complaining when everyone else is having fun. Everyone I know personally is having a blast with the events recently, but it seems kind of gimmicky to me. The events seem more like a way to facilitate random crack, rather than to progress a war.

If that's the new tone of the game, that's fine, games can change and I don't have to like it, though it's sad imo. I know the game has grown a lot and it's changed hands, so it's understandable. It would just be nice to have confirmation that this is the direction the mods want to take the game in or not.

Don't worry, it's not a new direction. These two events are something that had been in the works for a while, and it'll be getting back to normal after this.

Alright, thank you for responding, then. I'll stick it out a little longer and see what happens!

I don't see anything wrong with having some of those once in a while. They're cliches because people like them.

If they start becoming the norm I'll start complaining, but I haven't done a bodyswap event in a game in literally years so it's pretty great.

Yeah, the timeswap event and this event really aren't my cup of tea, so I haven't really done much with either one of them, tbh. If this becomes the norm, I might raise some objections, but if people are having fun, it can be good to have some more lighthearted events sometimes.
