Everything is under control

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.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.

I agree with the anon above about going through the proper channels and shit still not being done. I don't have complaints about characterization but about how the game is run. It is not enough to make me leave a game I have been in for a very long time and developed so much cr and friendships with people in it.

It is extremely frustrating though. Not to mention it's not being dealt with at all. I am at the end of my rope with the way this game is managed and I do feel sorry for Ophelia who is left to handle this alone as a mod, but that doesn't change that things are not better three months later and I am about done with it. It breaks my heart with how much I love the premise, people, and characters but sometimes some people are sick of complaining and it falling on deaf ears so they come here instead.

You tell them to leave if they don't like it: well stop reading their comments on anoncomm if you don't like it! The same applies to you. Don't like it, leave. Scroll on by. Whatever. This place, however, was made for complaints just as much as it is for praise. All through the safety of anonymity. Stop whining that you're being bitched about and start being a better game if you want to stop being bitched about. Because there are all these problems that anons have stated, from characterization and management, and while some are easier to cope with than others, the dirty ugly truth is that they are still problems and people are going to be upset with problems and you cannot tell them not to be and to stop talking about it on a place made for complaints.

I think it's needed, but only to show that the app has actually been received so applicants are aware theirs wasn't overlooked. They don't need to do the accepted/pending/rejected thing, even if the stats are interesting for some.

i think i'll need all the time before the 15th at the rate i'm going

Me!!!! I thought she was going to character squat longer. :((

lmfao oh god other people are actually reading that thread. I'm glad to hear we amuse someone other than our silly selves. :,D

thank you for the nod, anon and anon, you're both too kind. :)

so how long until the persona fad blows over and we're left with 2 characters?

Nowhere in particular.

... i could get behind this too...

I agree. It's more efficient than sending out notifications to people one by one.

start being a better game if you want to stop being bitched about

The problem with that logic is I can't do that. I am not a mod, I have no control over the game, and I personal have not gotten any crit I have not dealt with. I do the best to fix any issues I have power over, but I can't make the game a better game on my own. All comments like that specific one (just that one, and the whole ilk of them lately, not everyone negative comment ever made about the game ever) is drag the whole thing down.

Your complaints have to do with specific things in the game that you could change. You can't really compare that to "I don't play here but everyone sucks." And you can come here and vent. Should you is an entirely different matter. Maybe venting to friends in a private plurk isn't enough and adding to the general anon comm opinion that this game is a running joke is the best way to deal with the game issues. Sometimes airing stuff on anon comm is the best way to get it out there, sometimes you just gotta know you're not alone before you snap, I get it. I don't really feel this time it is. If you do, wank on.

However, a stranger coming to the thread and going "Everyone sucks!"...yeah I have a right to tell them to go away. And you are entirely right, I can not read the comments. I also can tell them to stfu. I can do whatever I want and they can do whatever I want, and really neither of us will make a difference to the other.

But I'd rather let people know not everyone in the game is negative about everything, even if it doesn't change the mind of the anon I am responding to. I know it contributes to a whole other reputation this game has, so I'm probably gonna check out soon. But...it's not for them. I know it sure as hell makes me feel better when someone is being an unfair asshole to something I like to see others stand up for it. If you don't, that's you.

No way, man. I'm thrilled we're getting an Equius at Abax.

vsinzogdfx;c Thank you, anon! XD You're far too kind ;A; /uses the uguu-est of uguu icons

So my TLH lovelies, when someone you find unpleasant tags you, do you...

A. Give them a couple pity tags and then drop
B. Thread out as much as you can despite the pain
C. Ignore them
D. 'Accidentally' delete their post
E. Other

Barnaby (this account) at

soul_campaign
Kaede (

fledged) at

hiddenbygods
Ivan (

paper_cranes) and Keith (

and_again) are homeless but Ivan is reserved at

boarding.

I also used to play Barnaby under

luckyfooted and Keith under

heroboyscout.

this is surprising?

though I don't really see many more so then usual?

C. Ignore the fuck out of them and hope they eventually get the idea not to tag you.

what are you talking about?

Are you playing anywhere or just museboxin' it up?

For now, just museboxing and memeing. If that Ivalice game actually gets off the ground I hope to take Basch there, though.

Just on

bakerstreet when I get time for it. Formerly helios_centric at LJ

That's kind of a hard thing to keep track of, don't you think? I doubt the mods keep a list of things like that. And the infiltration was a year and a half ago; I only remember maybe 3 or 4 of the characters who went off the top of my head. I think keeping it random is the safest way to keep it fair, so everyone always has an equal chance every time.

Better they take it to the hate meme than keep peddling their ignorance here.

All the same, it makes me sad to see people responding to the actions of what is likely one person or not even a player in the game at all with "the people you have in this game." I've been in this game for a long time now. I'm not ignorant or shitty enough to tell anyone, depressed or not, to kill themselves. I honestly can't think of anyone I play with in the game who is.

Whoever they are, if there's even more than one of them, I am certain their in the minority. I look forward to them going away. In the meantime, please don't give them the undeserved power of representing the game as a whole.

*they're, shit. I can does grammar.

da

How? I'm honestly curious. There's a gap of five days between the last two characters chosen, and at least an hour between the other five.

I feel like we have been over this argument a million zillion times.
