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.

There's a difference between making a generic scene-setting tag for something like a mass log and not putting any effort into tags in an ongoing thread, though. The first one is understandable if you're trying to make something that's open to a lot of people - I know that it always bugs me when I see a character I would really like to tag on a log but their starter is such a specific scenario that there's no IC reason for my character to be involved in it. I'd much rather that someone make a generic, open starter in a mass log and then go into more detail once a thread gets underway. Add in the fact that a lot of people do a lot of tagging around on event logs and it becomes even more understandable. I don't mind people writing tags that are a little shorter if it means they do more tagging around as a trade-off.

Also, one generic log starter =/= someone not putting effort into their threads. I've threaded with plenty of people who will do short dialogue tags in one thread and multi-paragraph actions in another depending on the setting and tone of the thread.

My starter comment for the event is pretty generic because I didn't get to do much plotting and got into the event plotting post late because of RL stuff. Since I didn't really have a lot of specific plans, I made a generic "oh character is over here doing a thing, then they're over there doing something else" to make it open to as many people as possible.

Plus, given the nature of the event, IC characters have no idea that anything is even different; as far as they know, it's a normal week. They're doing whatever they normally do.

There's a difference between generic and no effort at all. I'm talking about the latter.

"Bob is at the grocery store shopping for gifts for his girlfriend."

I would consider that to have enough to respond to, even if the scope is sorta limited. A lot of people did that on the log and I have nothing against that, since coming up with multiple unique and interesting things all at once is a lot to ask for an event where not much is really going on.

"Bob can be found at the grocery store, the library, and the plaza."

That does not, and there is a disturbingly high number of people who did just that on the log. There are at least 8+ where that is about all they put, and half of those people didn't get any tags.

I see maybe five people who have done that, and of those one of them is giving substantial tags in the actual threads and another one of them is giving at least decent-length tags.

I think you're greatly exaggerating this phenomenon, anon.
