rpanons | Your privilege at any time is only as strong as the wifi signal

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.

i think apps need to be changed a bit. vomiting out a wiki in a different order doesn't show how anyone has a grasp on their personality or history. emphasis should be put on personality and actual thread samples. i think test drives should be mandatory for samples as to how someone actually plays their character in that game's setting as opposed to some d_m thread or a network/third person sample that doesn't really give anyone a good glimpse at a player's ability to play the character.

i'd make test drives mandatory and have either a handful of mod helpers or volunteers who'd make sure that everyone who signed into the test drive got tagged, or i'd have specific npcs handled by the mods or the mod helpers or the volunteers so that there was something to actually judge in terms of playing.

because let's face it, apps are the biggest problem a lot of games have in terms of not really regulating quality. you have people that can write the fuck out of an app but who suck at playing and are cliquey, and you have people who just have really bad app writing skills but who are great at actively playing and branching out.

maybe make it so that every second month during w/e ac you have, there has to be a link to a thread that isn't with a castmate or is with a crossmedium character to try to break up the cliquey squatter syndrome.

I would LOVE more games with test drive posts, or game-specific dressing rooms, where you could try out your character in the setting before apping. It'd also let the players know if they'd be a good fit and like the playstyle, and it's so much easier to tell how good someone is at RPing when you're not asking for, like... 500 words of fanfic, or rp threads that might be from several years ago, or whatever.
