though I'm starting to feel like it's too many twoofs

There's a lot of twoofs. But as long as they're not being cliquey it doesn't bother me.

they're trying not to be. they tag out, they're beginning to accumulate CR with non-castmates. they're a good bunch of players.

I'm still finding the huge amount of cast-specific shit going on between them a bit annoying and impenetrable for someone not into the show. we could really do with a cast cap on them now.

IA about the cap, but I do think they're one of the better big (or relatively big) casts we've had.

Understandable. I wonder if anyone's approached them about it. They all seem pretty easy going.

six characters is "too many"? there are six characters in the opening credits alone on that show.

are full casts not a thing in this game?

it's a little out of date, but it shows that lots of games have that much or more. looking at tlvs taken list, i see dcu and marvel have more. or is this just a problem because it's la? if the players are tagging out, who gives a fuck? i literally only see 'too many chars' on la canons and homestuck.

i'm not sure if you're trying to back me up or not but uh thanks i think

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2014-08-31 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, backing you up. the idea that six chars is too much in any one game is silly. especially when there's way more characters that could be played.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2014-08-31 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
the show has a huge cast. six is a drop in the bucket.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2014-08-31 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they just seem like too many because they are a lot more active like a lot of other players in the game. Personally, I think it's great as long as they are tagging out, which they seem to be doing.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2014-08-31 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, this.

I like playing with most of them. I just don't speak twoof is all

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-01 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
it's not so much the numbers as the characters are a closeknit bunch of contemporaries. DC and Marvel are huge universes - some of them don't come from the same worlds, never mind the same small town - so they don't pack up like the twoofs do.

there's nothing wrong with the players, they're not setting out to be cliquey, but it's impossible for them to avoid a certain amount of IC cliqueness.

In my case, I just kind of mean I'm having a hard time distinguishing between all the twoof dudes, and my characters aren't huge fans of teenagers being completely responsible for another person's wellbeing.

really didn't mean anything else by it.

full casts aren't much of a thing in this game, no, which is what's jarring about this one. the setting and premise is geared to encourage crosscanon CR, and a lot of us are obscure canon and/or LCWs.

so yeah. they do feel like too many.

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
but as has been stated, they are developing crosscanon CR. otoh, there seem to be quite a few obscure characters in the game who are either forever hiatused or just don't bother playing except to make ac. i guess i'd rather see a bunch from one canon who are actually playing with people than not doing anything at all.

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-01 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
they might be trying to develop cross-canon cr, but i haven't really seen a lot of that happening? like i've played with large twoof casts and they've never felt as insular as this one does.

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-01 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
really? my experience is the exact opposite. i've gotten more twoof tags in this game than any other i've ever been part of, and i see them tagging all over the place, and doing open posts with nearly every post they make.

have you approached any of them for cr? or tagged in on any of their open stuff?

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-01 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
i have a lot of cr with most of them, and i honestly got most of it effortlessly. they actually tagged me on most my posts. not all of them but the majority of the group.

i'd just ping them, i havent seen any of them turning cr down.

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-01 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
tagging within their cast as well as tagging out to crosscanon cr doesn't mean insular, anon. it feels like a no-win for this. if they tag out, they're ooc and ignoring each other and if they play with their castmates, their insular and cliquey.

it could also be because a lot of twoof casts have shitty, flaky members that don't tag around period, so you're judging an active cast over inactive ones.

Really? Both my characters have CR with several twoofs.

Re: FAVORITES

(Anonymous) 2014-09-02 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
idk looks pretty balanced to me. i just checked back their posts and most of them do have filters to each other but they all have filters to crosscanon or open filters. more so than a lot of other characters who basically only post under closed filters and are basically untouchable.

seems to me people are picking on them because they are a larger group than we're used to and i say get over it.
