I thought it was a chocolate chip

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.

.... what conditions? Presumably you're not gonna kill your character off, so beyond fighting and maybe healing in between if you really need it, I don't see the point of having this much unnecessary planning when our team only needs to go from one place to another.

What's the point of having the log at all, if they're just going from one place to another? Why don't we just handwave the whole thing?

IDK maybe you can follow up on the comments you've made on the CR meme, especially to those in your drop point? Maybe you can make new CR too? Maybe you can fight things?

Look, all I'm saying is that there's no need for everyone and their mother to bring out maps and charts and Gdocs if they know that their characters aren't gonna end up dead.

CR's a big part of the game, but it's not all of it. Some of us enjoy our maps and charts and gdocs. Some of us like plotting out imaginary journeys. People are doing this for fun, anon, they're not doing it out of self-loathing.

Hopefully they're also not the type to drop tags after a while because of their maps and charts and Gdocs. In my experience players like these are the best at flaking since they get so caught up with plotting. Honestly that's just what I'm worried about. I like all this activity otherwise.

Yeah, do you think they're more or less likely to flake out now that they've all essentially been told their fun is not okay?

If all this fuss has been about the F-word I am going to stamp my foot. If they flake out, you didn't want to play with them anyway. Come join me in the zen room, anon.

One of the planners here. I'm not a flake but I do like my organization, Jesus. But with all this fuss, it ruined a lot of my fun anyway. It wasn't supposed to be a big deal in the first place. We were doing it for fun an convenience.

As for conditions... Have you thought of fatigue? Dehydration? Not all of our characters are godmods who will walk out perfectly fine. And before the next log goes up id like be clear on all of this. Details like that are what make rp fun for me. I don't know why people got bent out of shape over this. This was all silly and weird.
