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.

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.

Agreeing with this. People got way super invested in planning everything out instead of playing stuff - also the plot was announced when it seems like people had a lot of free time to go running around talking about their own canons and setting up links, but the bulk of the plot largely happened when a lot of people got slammed with outside responsibilities like school etc.

Yeah the timing ended up not being great, and a lot of people got late starts. Although I also think we had plenty of direction, or I don't get what more direction we needed? The only thing players needed to do was have characters meet randomly and then they could use the memories to play off of even if they didn't already know each other. The FAQ post also listed ways to have your characters find each other, like seeing their ship tattoos in memories, and that was posted weeks ago.

I don't know if the lack of a big mingle log tripped people up or what. I'm not saying the execution was great, obviously it wasn't since so many people didn't do anything, but I don't get why people made it out to be really difficult or confusing.

Yeah tbh the only reason I've had a slow start of it was because I really just did not have the time/energy to coordinate with the people I'd talked to until just now. This plot definitely requires more heavy lifting from the players than the mods, but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. It's forced me to be more creative with my CR and the stage two links that I didn't necessarily end up touching this month provide plenty of opportunities for future CR since it's...not like the memories are just going to go away (I don't think they are anyway; I guess anything could happen next month).

I've seen the mods frequently state and do their own plots around stage 2 stuff sticking around to be called on later, so I don't think the memories are going anywhere.
