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.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.

I'll avoid people in memes or DRs if I see that they regularly post with certain muses. And by certain muses I mean ones that are played so ooc that it's impossible to miss it. I figure if you play with them you haven't got much in the way of standards yourself and won't be IC with your own character.

Does this apply only to when a character they're threading with is from their canon, or just anyone?

I ask because oftentimes when I'm tagged by strangers I know fuck all about their canon/what qualifies as IC.

Only their own canon. I only figure you should at least know your own canon well enough to recognize really drastic ooc. Everything else is fair game.

for me it depends sometimes the fandom/the character and how they're OOC. Like, if you play with a guy who got one trait eye-searingly wrong but has the overall persona right, I wouldn't think anything of it. You're out of the fandom so how would you know? But if you're playing with Sephiroth hosting tea parties then I'm still going to feel weird tossing mine at you because like someone else said, I figure you're expecting or want something that I'm not going to give. I'd probably still toss any relevant characters outside of the fandom at you though.

fuck you. sometimes, the people who are the least "perfect" are fun to play with, but that doesn't mean i put any less effort into my characterization.

I do this too to a certain extent. If I see someone threading regularly with someone who plays a really bad version of the same character I do, I'll avoid tagging the person who regularly tags with them.

The way I see it, if those people enjoy playing with the ooc version of my character, I'm not going to like threading with them, and it's just going to be awkward when they don't get what they're expecting from me anyway.

anon, are you me? There's a terrible version of the character I play running around. I avoid people that thread with her too. Luckily there aren't many, even her dear_mun posts usually go unanswered.
