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.

yeah, and when everyone is playing it slightly differently, it is incredibly difficult to keep track of it.

i know where the mod docs are, i check them all the time, i ask the mods when i'm not sure of stuff? but when other people say or play wrong things you tend to internalise it

I definitely think it was mostly confusion and poor communication on the players' end, but I do agree that it might have been too much information and too complicated a system to jump into right off the bat. I had fun with it, though, and I know others did too.

But it's a fact that everyone was pretty much threading a slightly different version of how the translating worked. I just sort of tried my best to go along with whatever was established in the poster's thread.

exactly, you can't contradict ic, and you don't want to ask the other player "are you sure you have this right", so you just go with it. and mistakes get embedded

i would much rather people pointed out my mistakes but that doesn't seem to be how things are done. we're still having fun though
