Hahaha!

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.

the naked in a sheet bothers me a lot less than the guy who thinks he's playing a new character as a shrink to be honest. one's a kind of thing that might happen with an oversight or could be a minor misreading. the other seems to not have read at all.

Agreed. A simple reading of things would explain that you don't come in at a profession job level--if they had put something that suggested they had been in Ariel for a while and had earned the position would have made it not so glaring.

okay soooo would you rather have one of the other forty people who are wandering around with a map in hand, lost? because i'm so sick of that starter i can't even say.

they didn't say the character was new. they could have been there for a while and earned their privileges. they could be operating illegally for all we know! it's not like people don't ever ignore licensing rules in the real world.

just. come on. let's don't kill every single sliver of originality people produce because you can't use your damn imagination for five seconds.

they can't come up with a shred of indecency that requires you ignore the shit out of the game's settings rules, without so much as a half-assed acknowledgement that you're aware of them? really?

look, i'm sick of wandering with a map, too. it's boring. but they need to at least provide some kind of reasoning in the narrative because it's not minor.

it sure is minor, and you're sure being pointlessly pedantic over it. but hey, whatever rocks your boat. enjoy your wasteland of map-wanderers, because that's all you're encouraging right now.

Re: TEST DRIVE

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
you're right. if they don't intend to use it as something that counts in game, it doesn't matter at all.

and if they do, they're not going to make it into the game, anyway.

so whatever.

Moot point.

It doesn't matter that they didn't say their character was new. The meme header does.

You're a fresh face in the city, newly processed. You are greeted first in the re-education center by your helpful counselors and then directed out of the building to your new home.

why is this an argument? why is this something you keep coming back to on a sunday morning? how does it affect you that you've been taken to this level of tenacious frusterbation?

doctor anon prescribes in-game fucking to deal with your high tension levels

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
This level of frustration is one comment? I'm not even in the game. I checked to see what people were talking about and read the damned header, and posted a comment.

I should be in the game, though. I'm sick of fade to black smut.

No time this app cycle. Probably the next one.

Why are you in the test drive meme discussion thread for a game if you're not in the meme? Or in the game? (unsure)

As one of the completely new people who did map-wandering... I didn't even think it'd be unoriginal. I didn't know what other people were going to be doing when I made my tag (I didnt look at other responses or anything) and now I feel bad haha. It just never crossed my mind that that'd be an easy way out type of thing!

Sorry anon, I'll do something better if/when I actually get in, I promise!

Re: TEST DRIVE

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
please ignore anon with a bug up their ass, map and wandering gets done because it makes sense for the context and you will not be ostracized in the game for doing something that makes sense even if bug anon would like to put on an anon cap and come complain

Don't even worry about it. When the whole premise of the meme is "You're a new arrival to a city you've never been to before, here's a map, good luck", well...you're going to have quite a bit of map-wanderers.

Seems like a petty thing to bitch about, especially since it's just an open meme that has no real impact on the events in the actual game.

Then again, I realize this is an anon meme and petty bitching is par for the course.

Re: DA

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
well, it can have impact on events in game since you can keep the cr you make if you app and are accepted.

but there's nothing wrong with map wandering, at all.

Maybe this is my misunderstanding of the setting, but couldn't naked in a sheet be possible if that's the canon moment he was brought into Ariel from? His other clothes and possessions are waiting for him in his apartment, but he's not there yet.

Re: TEST DRIVE

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't read the tag, but wouldn't that be feasible? Or that the character refused the Ariel-supplied clothes? It's not like Ariel has public indecency laws.

this one makes sense to me and isn't a big deal. the psych thing? not even close.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
As someone in the game, I wouldn't think it anything weird to see someone come in from orientation with whatever they were wearing in their canon point they'd been taken, whether it be nude, a sheet, some kind of military dress, or some sparkly gown from a ball.

They HAVE the means to dress differently, but that's no pushed on them from the moment of arrival.

yeah, that's kind of what i was saying. it's ariel. wandering around naked is not a thing even without that.

the psychologist is a little harder for me to swallow without at least some kind of note in the narration. might be fine, i don't know, but it threw me pretty hard.
