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.

Potential apper here! Just wondering what the game is like. How easy is it to make the AC? To get CR? What's the ooc community like? can anyone help me out?

AC is two listings of any of the following:

an entry to the entry or log comm (requirement of being open to commenting but honestly I don't know who posts completely closed entries anyway)
three comments to a log
ten comments to an entry

The game is so busy that meeting the AC is pretty simple to do as long as you watch for what your character can comment on. First month you're exempt, so even if you intro late or something you won't have problems. Activity-wise, the problem I see more is people feeling like they have to tag out on everything to keep their character IC. Also that events go pretty fast. There's been crit to the mods now and people are willing to backtag, but it has gotten people disappointed to miss the main of an event because they were busy two or three days.

CR I've had good experience with. Everyone is willing to play with my characters if I tag, there are people who will go out and plot, and I haven't lost much to drops. I have seen some people having trouble due to drops though. I think the game is starting to steady out now but it's hard to say. You might have trouble if your character will take disappearances hard.

OOC, aim chat has always been friendly when I've been in there while it's alive. It's also been very frequently dead when someone wasn't doing mass invites. Definitely more centered around meme/plurk sort of things.

Well, the character I'm planning to intro is pretty chronically timid and shy, so I could probably get by with her not tagging as much. I tend to...overexert myself easily, so it's a conscious choice on my part. Depressing to know about the events - I'm not the greatest backtagger.

How often are there events?

I'm not much of an AIM person, or a plurk person, but I don't mind reaching out and plotting with people! I'm a pretty open tagger even with the shy ones. Thanks, anon!

for Jan & Feb there were three events scheduled each month. 1 House Contest, 1 Plot Event, and 1 "Special Event" (which is more random or holidayish stuff).

O_O Holy frack, that's a lot. I guess that's where the log requirement comes from. So. Fast moving game, then? How much time do you spend on it?

Oh lord, I'll let someone else field that one. I'm a slow tagger, plus my tendency is to just randomly pick away at tags since I'm at my computer most of the day. There's no way I could come up with a good time estimate.

Just to let you know, March has no events planned! It looks like they're taking a little break from it all. The game is probably one of the most backtag friendly games out there.

Correction: there's one event. They just hadn't put March's calendar up yet. Still, it's only one event, and stretched out more than previous events.

Their requirements are two of the following: a post with however many comments, a thread with at least 10 replies FROM YOU or three threads totaling 10 replies from you, and the standard 3 tags in a log.

I don't like how AC requirements emphasize quantity > quality in this game, especially considering its fast nature. All in all it's a nice game, but I just cannot stand their AC.

idk I think it's pretty reasonable. Twenty comments in thirty days isn't even one a day, you can put all the effort you want into it.
