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.

It's okay Bill, this month's barely started and nobody really know what they're doing yet besides vague silly CR ideas.

Some suggestions: try and get CR with that AU'd castmate and see how it affects their relationship post-jaunt. Be lost ICly and use the psychic network to try and get un-lost, your character's probably not alone in that. If they fit with any of the departments, ICly track down other investigators who might fall in there and work out how you'll integrate with the infiltrators. Meet with infiltrators in those departments and find out why they feel their work is more important/deserving of the grant money/better than stinky other departments. Doggedly follow false leads and have hilarity ensue. Argue with other investigators that their methods and theories are wrong, or support those that line up with yours.

That said, I've got to ask: if you're not into the infiltration/character AUing aspect of the game then what was the original draw for you?

or use the fact that some people or AU'd to get brand-new crosscanon CR (granted, this works better if you're the one infiltrating) - even though last jaunt was messy, plot-wise, I got some great new CR because I was an infiltrator

(though seconding anon above me - if you weren't interested in playing AUs, why join?)

if you apped into this game to tag with a few specific characters while disliking the actual premise of the game you get little sympathy from me. especially since you can still get cr with them. it just won't be instant gratification.

i never said i hated the premise, where did you get this from? i'm just saying that it's hard to get it.

The fact that you're being a whiny baby about AUs? I don't know, maybe that has something to do with it.

i think you have me confused with the wrong anon. i'm not being a baby about AUs, i'm frustrated with trying to make cr or how to even start it. example: i can't just go post to a thread and make cr, then have said cr vanish next jaunt.

it's like there is too much up-keeping.

1. i don't hate the game.
2. i don't hate the aus.

i'm just lost again and i'm not the type of person who approaches people too much. this game feels like it's meant for social characters and for social members who want to heckle the mod team. i feel bad about that, it's not my style.

...okay, then by your own admission, this is not your sort of game.

some games aren't. i don't know what you expect anyone to do about this, other than magically know you won't take initiative on your own and need us to come to you. which... people aren't likely to do. in this game, or in most games, really.

i just don't think you should have to nag the mods if you are lost.

you can talk to literally *anyone,* it doesn't have to be the mods. just. you know, *do something.*
