rpanons | 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.

Fuck.

I'm not sure what you're complaining about here. Is it the fact that not a lot of people have done their event posts yet?

I'm just bummed that there seemed to be a lot of interest in this event and it hasn't amounted to much.

It's...Tuesday. Give it time.

I know. Maybe as we near the weekend things will be quicker. Here's hoping.

I know I'm still working out logistics with people, since we didn't really have much in the way of lead time to plan. Pretty sure I'm not the only one in that boat.

More horror is great, having time to plan ahead so we're not scrambling to figure out what to do with it while the event's already started would be better.

The mods actually didn't have anything quite this big planned initially, but a few people expressed concerns about more than just the fighters having something to do, so they pulled this together kind of last-minute.

And that's all well and good, but it does mean people are left scrambling, which means griping about not many people having put together network posts or logs yet is kinda ridiculous.

Oh, I wasn't the one griping. should have said 'DA'

I agree that a bit of warning would have been nice. I also think a game-wide event thread being put up would help. It seems like by the time an event has really picked up speed, it ends.

But, the best times I've had in this game have been the times I just threw my characters at others to see what happens. Sometimes the really open events are the best for this sort of thing, and I think this event falls under that. Not saying plotting is a bad thing, but I feel like some of these events would work really well if players embraced their spontaneity. Then again, I haven't been here all that long, so maybe the more established players are all spontaneity-ed out and would prefer some deep plotting for a change.

No way, man, I'm all about spontaneity. Have you posted yet? I was going to tag around today.

forgot to say I'm not the above anon

And I've found every time I've tried that, I've ended up hardly participating because I have the world's worst luck at picking who to spontaneously event-tag. Different strokes, etc.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm personally saving all my plots and ideas for Day 37 when we get human zombies, because I think that will be much more interesting and fun to work with than monster zombies. Pretty much just sitting this mini event out altogether in favor of the bigger future one. I wouldn't be surprised if some others are doing the same thing.
