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.

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.

I wish I was surprised. I hold out vague hopes this will turn out being, like, another invasion or something. But probably not.

even if it was another invasion, that'd just be lazy, rehashing the exact same plot and mechanic. the first au event was really novel since it hadn't really been done before, but that's not really the case anymore.

this one is literally the invasion plot, except without the fun rich-poor dynamic to make the slice of life stuff interesting, and without the high stakes of the invasion.

even if we assume the "technology upgrade" thing is supposed to be meant for the whole village as an actual result of the event and not just part of the au thing, what's even going to be upgraded?

i sure hope not, we just had a very dark draft and a equally heavy plot-related mission. i for one am glad for something a little more lighthearted after putting my character through the emotional wringer in the past few months. this is a good change of pace.

Even if it's another AU event, I'm glad to have a fun event after the last two major happenings being "DEATH EVERYWHERE."

I'm all for serious plotty stuff but I don't want to inflict constant trauma on my character. This is the first fun event we've had in months, it isn't like we've been having an excess of them lately.

I would agree with you but this isn't a good change of pace, it's a bumper.

It doesn't give relief from the trauma that came out of the draft and the mission. It's a reprieve that barely counts by nature of being AU. A real change of pace would be something lighthearted that offers relief from the heavy shit by actually trying to resolve the current issues.

As it stands when the event is over the characters will still have to put up the problems that came out of the draft. Where's the break in that?

i agree. i was hoping for something simple or silly, and while this fits the silly requirement, making it an au means dealing with ooc cr and castmates for a few days.

at least it's not very long, but i feel bad for any new feathers coming in having to deal with a zany au hi-jinks right off the bat.

i've already seen people who are planning on apping thinking of ways to au their characters so i don't think that's going to be much of a problem.
