No underscores please

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.

I want to +.05 the obscure canon interaction thing. This will out me but that's alright; I play from probably one of the most obscure canons for anyone of this generation because the canon reached the height of it's popularity in the 70s. The character I play gets tons of CR because she's social, interactive, and offers something to the island populace for them to get involved. (And I made sure my app was extremely thorough, even going so far as to type out a transcript for an episode the character was in - so when people want to know the character a bit more, I link them to this info).

This is the thing about any character really, but especially the obscure ones: If your character has nothing to offer other than "oh where am I" or "oh my collar is tight help" you are not going to have a satisfying experience in Amat (imo).

If this is your first time in Amat, I highly recommend apping a character who is social and will interact with the populace, obscure canon or no, this will help create a more satisfying game experience.

And definitely +1ing the "reach out" thing. Anyone who is shy on the OOC front is going to miss out on a lot of plotting. Dive in and GET YOU SOME! This is my home game for a reason, the people here are fantastic, but you can't expect it to fall on your doorstep. You've gotta make the effort!
