Rundown: [community profile] 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.

i for the record liked it in theory but found the plot to take a spin into retarded twist ending that was really terrible and over done and actually took away from all the fun that was guessing what Aidan was. it spun out really fast but i enjoyed the earlier parts/ child w/ weird entity protector in a creepy lab facility when secrets seemed cooler than they turned out to be

and hot Navajo boys. pls.

I want to play in your game.

Bring your forum-inspired modding experiences and game ideas over here. As you can see several threads up there are plenty of us sick of the current state of RP and desire something new and refreshing.

no, i think personality and history sections definitely have their place, but i wish they'd be downplayed more. right now personality sections are considered the main part of every app, but imo they should be placed more in the background and used to reinforce what's written in the samples section. i wish things like bulleted lists were acceptable in lieu of an essay.

what i would like to do personally for an app would be to sort of mash the two sections together. give a brief overview (and i mean brief) of the character's general personality just as kind of an introduction, and then write out their role in canon in a timeline format, expanding on specific important events and how they affected the character/how the character reacted when necessary. entranceway kind of has this system in place, but they're still looking for an essay. barf.

you could argue that that's going to cause problems for people with huge canons (bleach comes to mind immediately), but the advantage of doing it in a timeline format is that you can downplay or even cut out all of the minor events and keep your focus specifically on the moments in canon that are relevant to understanding your character. you don't need to write a big huge description of everything that happens in canon. just explain the important parts.

i think what's important is to be able to see that the player understands the canon and understands how canon events affected their character, and i don't think that writing huge essays are the best way to go about doing it. i've modded games before, and it often seemed like so much of what was written in people's personality sections was unnecessary, because people try to cover all bases of their characters by drawing on specific events, but they know it's a personality section and not a history section so they don't really extrapolate on the events themselves and instead give a vague "in certain scenarios" description instead. i want a way to cut out the fluff and focus on what's actually relevant.

Languishment has a 70ish or 80ish character cap, somewhere around there.

Smash Academy has a Pokemon cap which has fluctuated depending on how Pokecrazy the game gets.

Apprentice Wanted has a 15-characters-per-cast cap.

Overall I've seen caps work really well with little to no complaints.

Mods making games: don't be afraid of caps, please!

look

i had to sit down and screencap every single icon of mine straight from the source material because there was less than nothing.

i've had to do this with multiple characters.

there's plenty of high quality caps, videos, etc. of Beyond out there.

you're being kind of a baby

Yes, but other kinds of plots don't have the same kinds of horrible results from being done badly like rape plots.

is there even a difference between canadian and american people

(Anonymous) 2014-01-02 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
but where is out there? how do i find high quality stuff to use?

i just admitted i'm totally unaware how to do this. i don't own the game on pc so i can't cap myself (nor do i really know how) and all i asked for was some ref. i'm not asking you to make icons for me, just point me in the way i should go if you know it.

i'm not whining i don't have icons, i'm asking for any icons you might know of/ where to go for caps. i can live with my sucky icons but i don't get why you think i haven't tried? i'm sorry if i've made you upset anon, but i'm new to all this.

i really dgaf what people want to play as long as it's properly labeled and warned for and the person's castmates and close cr are all on board with it, just like any other sort of torture or death plot or whatever.

ooh, that's super close to the general "look" I'm going for (longer/shaggier hair would make it perfect), so I'll consider him. thanks!

thanks, i was actually trying to remember the last game that actively did this, and i'm pretty sure it was mayfield. years and years ago, banning rape/pregnancy plots was a no questions asked sort of thing, but the culture has changed dramatically since then.
