i don't get people who trace the most obvious shit

oh no one's going to notice i copied off this cover for one of the top 10 most popular fucking manga or traced over the first google images result for "sitting girl"

has there ever been a case where a tracer actually looked through some obscure ass comic or chose the google images result on the 37th page??

instead of "a network" that consists of a livejournal community just for jamjar residents, have the communication section be more like the actual internet with different websites and forums and shit

i instantly thought of 2 different characters who could fit this

i find that the way the word's usage has been completely disfigured by the internet as a whole is a poetic example of just how much memetics is bunk, actually.

"who cares what the real definition of 'meme' is, it's the word we use for open writing prompt things so that's what they're called."

slow work day at the office, anon? this is a stupid thing to be complaining about.

This sounds pretty interesting. Assuming I can get my ducks in a row I might try apping someone into this place!

wasn't their something like a comm for all current mods to get together and talk about things/get advice, in the works at one point?

(Anonymous) 2014-01-02 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
the only people i've seen stick to that definition of meme are tech nerds high off their singularity rapture

for most people meme means lolcats

I'm not a fan because I don't like the idea of mods trying to dictate what players can and can't do, beyond the obvious making sure players don't break the setting or godmode or something like that. That's why I avoid games that have those restrictions, but if other people are happy to play with said restrictions, more power to them. I'll just go to other games.

Heroes of Intergalactic Conquest
HIC is an RPG for Homestuck fancharacters using the canon's S---B game mechanics in a divergent (AU) timeline.



» Earth: There is no easy path to the stars!
For centuries, mankind has looked to the sky and wondered 'how will we make our way to them?', 'How will we surpass them?', 'How will we thrive?'. The time to find out has finally arrived. Heroes of Intergalactic Conquest will set your character on the path to glory, the path to fame, fortune, and realms unknown. How will you forge your path to the stars?

» Alternia: There is no easy path to the stars!
For centuries, trollkind has looked to the sky and wondered 'how will we make our mark on them?', 'How will we conquer them?', 'How will we rule?'. The time to find out has finally arrived. Heroes of Intergalactic Conquest will set your character on the path to glory, the path to glory, victory, and galaxies unknown. How will you cut your path to the stars?


This game will test your intelligence. Will test your strength. Will test the bonds you forge within it with trials the likes of which you have never seen.

And for those who succeed, the rewards awaiting are unimaginable.

Welcome to Heroes of Intergalactic Conquest.

Play?


HIC is an AU Homestuck-inspired RP based on the canon's S---B mechanics specifically meant for original characters. Players will create their characters based on the alternate versions of Earth and Alternia in the game's settings pages and then... Well.

Then the fun really starts.

speaking as a mod i am one hundred percent sure that would be a catastrophe. it sounds like a right laugh though.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-02 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
the internet meme definition of the word actually does fit that definition though, in a loose way. internet memes are in-group jokes (culture) that get passed around through a group (the internet) in a non-genetic way.

i think op is questioning why we call things posted in bakerstreet memes, since they're not really the same thing.

i've never heard of it being bad etiquette, though some games have AC requirements that you make your own post.

it depends on the character for me. some characters are more likely to make a post of their own and some are more likely to wait for something to react to. as long as you're making AC you're probably fine.

are we talking something that only the mods involved would be able to see, or like a spectator sport mod throw down for everybody to watch and commentate on while the mods desperately attempt to preserve their games' positive image, because if it's the latter then i'm in

why are you all so bent out of shape about exclusively apps? apps are fine. this is the most off point discussion ever.

there is no theoretical app that will allow mods to keep shitty people out with a hundred percent success rate. the only thing that could help with that is culturally being more tolerant of booting people out of games just for being sub par.

i bought some calamari salad from kroger and the taste is kinda familiar but i can't place my finger on it.

anons, can you tell me what calamari tastes like in your opinion?

i don't love it but i don't hate it but i'm curious. i hate being reminded of things and not knowing what i'm being reminded of.

Meanwhile, I'll be over here laughing at you thinking that announcement means jack shit. Months between visits to an active comm is not an acceptable thing for a mod to do, sorry honey.

Word. Yeah, apps aren't perfect, but they're probably never going to be. People are always going to slip through the cracks who you wish you hadn't accepted, whatever you do about it, and the solution definitely isn't to make apps this weird intensive game wide test drive experience that's a bigger pain in the ass for everybody involved, including existing players who I'd prefer to see tagging more stuff in game than test driving. Like, apps are fine. Two samples is usually enough to get an idea of how good someone is; on the occasion I'm not sure after reading them I just ask a player for another one.

Honestly, most of the players I've ever let into games I've run that I've regretted have been ones where I knew from the app that something was up but decided to cut them some slack, and the more I mod the more I learn not to do that. I can think of maybe one player whose app impressed me but who turned out to be garbage, and the thing is that person didn't show her ass until months after we let her in. She had loads of great threads and then abruptly took a one way turn into garbage town and started making everybody uncomfortable. So... we booted her. It was a pain, but if we'd had some kind of test drive vetting system like people are talking about here she would still have passed with flying colors.

idk, calling an individual lolcat picture an "element of a culture" is stretching it, although the concept of lolcats would definitely count.
