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.

Ramsay and his hilarious post

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
+1, actually.

Personally I think it would be even funnier if it were toned down a little, i.e. not every single word being misspelled

But "wish whores" cracked me up nonetheless

it was a little tryhard

Can we keep this about favorites, please?

robyn being tryhard and unfunny

what a completely ridiculous and baseless notion

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
And I should have known better than to try and give constructive criticism on an anoncomm.

dropping a known wanker with an extended history as a favorite attracts negative attention

sky still blue, water still wet, jury remains out on grass ruling but expected green

this game requires players to have hmd posts. the hmd meme just went up and i'm pretty sure she posted to it. anon seriously why did you think dropping crit on favorites was a good idea

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It seemed too small and nitpicky for HMD, I guess

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok, I'm not logging in but this is Robyn. I actually really appreciate the crit even if it's a small thing. Basically, the typos are super bad on this first post since it's a combo of the plug-in fucking up, his sausage fingers stumbling all over the place, and the fact that Ramsay isn't the most literate character around. Yes, in the show, he writes a nice letter. However, in the books, it's specified that his letter to Jon is done in the handwriting of a maester except for the part written in blood which is done with cruder penmanship. Even then, it's assumed he had a maester there checking his spelling and grammar. I always intended for his network posts to gradually improve with time as he learns not to pound the keyboard so hard and take better care of what he writes even with the plug-in in effect. There's also the factor that he likes to play dumb in order to be underestimated. He spent most of A Clash of Kings aping a bad peasant accent that he sometimes dropped altogether and Theon just didn't notice. Some of his typos may very well be on purpose on top of the plug-in. Sorry for any misunderstanding and please feel free to hit me up on the game HMD!

did this really merit a tl;dr justification over shit no one really cared about to begin with

on rpanons

the artist is strong with this one

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
well, let's see. someone crit her over the usage of a lot of intentional spelling errors and she explained herself. since they didn't bother to do it in her hmd, here seemed a good place to do it. no, not robyn, but jesus, you guys are fucking picky over things. 'wah, i want to bitch about this player's issues. no i can't crit them because they'll have a titty fit. whatever, they're a wanker anyway. let's shit up the favorites thread.'

don't drop crit on someone if you don't want to hear an explanation of it. this isn't wg.

and someone clearly cared about it enough to drop it in the first place, so you answered your own question. just like you care enough to try to make her look bad.

That makes sense, actually. I'm a little embarrassed this thread exploded like this...

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, honestly, criticism is fine but the favorites thread is probably the absolute worst place to give it, whether it's constructive or not.

Even if the person in question is gracious and thankful for the crit, it can create an environment where people are nervous to namedrop their favorite players lest they end up drawing negative attention to the person they like. If you feel your crit is too much of a nitpick to take to the HMD, starting a new thread here under the game's header would be better than replying to a post in the favorites thread.

or literally just take it to the HMD, because that's what they're there for

(Anonymous) 2014-09-18 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I take minor issues to friends and castmates all the time on HMDs, or just Plurk them about it. I don't start discussions on game threads about "nitpicky" issues because that'd just cast an unwarranted spotlight on both parties and that isn't what they are for.
