Yer wonderful

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.

A while back, I posted about having reservations joining CoA, based on all the crap that went down at wg, seemingly every post. I was reassured by anons here that it wasn't representative of the game at large. I'm reporting back after joining for other anons that may be considering, but hesitant for the same reason.

It is the most welcoming large game I have ever seen. The people are friendly, receptive, up front and honest. There is no shortage of gen or smut opportunities, regardless of your character type, age, or cast size. There is actual communication between players, that I haven't seen nearly as much of anywhere else.

There may or may not be wank somewhere; it's a huge game.

but it's wanky reputation is really, really undeserved.

as a coa player who's always boggled by the wank in wg, seeing you say that warms the cockles of my cold, dark heart.

i'm so happy that you're finding the game welcoming and fun. i know i feel the same way about it.

Most of the people who cause issues in the WG threads aren't even in game they just like to shit in the water.

Glad you're enjoying yourself anon.

This has been my experience too anon. Everyone I've intereacted with has been very friendly and open to CR. My character isn't popular at all but I've never had problems getting CR in this game versus some of the others I've played this character in; every time I post to the CR meme I always get interest.

It really doesn't feel any wankier than any other game its size. I think a big tell that the game isn't as wanky as people might think from the wankgate thread is that it's survived passing through the hands of multiple mod teams without falling apart. Every time that happened there was an outpouring of support in the OOC comms to keep the game alive and volunteers stepping up. I remmeber people specifically encouraging others to keep posting and keep the game active and doing so themselves when there was doubt it would survive.

Everyone I talk to OOC really seems to enjoy the game so I honestly am not sure where most of the negativity on wankgate comes from.
