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.

you really ought to not assume things then tbh. judging from my other game my average for tags is 15-20 per month, but i don't want to have to feel like i'm struggling to make AC every month, either. a lower AC relieves some of that stress.

the only reason why i made that a top priority was because i asked for game recs on my plurk, and everyone came back with ACs that were around 25ish comments per month, and that's just a little too much for me. i know for a fact that there are slower games out there, because i'm in one of them, but i wanted a second game.

not really sure why i'm being jumped on about this.

maybe phrase things a bit more differently? i only jumped in because you got overly defensive about someone pointing out that ac isn't really the thing you have to worry about. all you had to say was 'low ac', not 'under 10 comments', because not a lot of games have under 10 comments. some have ten network OR five log comments, but that might not fit your bill because oops, ten. under ten comments is beyond slow for any game and most of the ones i've been in have had 25 or less.

saying something is rude is "overly defensive" now?

you're being awfully pedantic about these numbers. i honestly didn't even think it was that big of a deal and i just pulled a number out of my ass because my other game is 7 log comments or 15 network. 10 was a ballpark.

jeez you guys take things so hardline and literally around here.

Re: da

you're writing words on a text-based site. how else are we supposed to take what you're writing other than literally? you asked for a specific number. you were informed that that number is pretty fucking ridiculously low, and even in your 'other game that has things lower', you still have a 15 comment minimum for network tags. asking for things lower than 10 is not just ballparking. it's asking for an ac that doesn't really exist around here. no one's going to suggest a game with 5 logs if it has 10 network because 'it's not technically under 10'. try being less ballparky and more actual in what you want. no one here is psychic.

this is a really disproportionately angry response for something that's pretty benign, anon. i've seen plenty of people on ATP proper respond to character ads with "this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it follows most of your criteria" and more often than not, people still actually look at the games.

i'm absolutely baffled by the idea that someone would look at my comment and think to themselves "oh no they said LESS than 10 so i specifically cannot under any circumstances recommend something that's AT 10."

like, come on, seriously? i never asked for people to be psychic. there's something called commonality of language. but i guess next time i'll be 100% explicit in every single little detail i'm looking for and even then go out of my way to write a disclaimer that i'm also slightly flexible about things. christ.

i think you need to take a step back if you think my response is angry. i'm merely pointing out that you're asking for something in a pretty non-helpful way. you want a game that's less than ten, but hey, maybe we can offer ten or fifteen because we can totally read between the lines. you also don't give a shit about the premise, but don't make it be too shitty because premise actually matters.

articulate a little better when you're requesting something.

and yeah, write a fucking disclaimer that says you're flexible. 'I'm looking for a game with low ac, around >10, but I'll take something a bit higher if it's in the same ballpark'. then people actually know what to recommend.

you thought the words "kind of rude" was overly defensive so it's not like you're coming up smelling like roses brosis

ladies ladies you're both autistic why are we fighting

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
it was more in response to the 'i just came out to get some recs and i'm feeling so attacked right now' response that i found overly defensive. i feel so jumped on right now? no one was jumping on them. they were just pointing out that hey, your phrasing sucked and what you're asking for is kind of low enough that you should just stick to museboxes instead of a game if you can't commit to anything larger than 10 comments a month

lmao nice backpedaling

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
yes, because explaining myself is backpedaling. nice attempt to direct attention away from the fact that op can't articulate for shit and this is all their own fault.

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
it is when your explanation uses the incorrect order of events in the thread in an attempt to make yourself look like the reasonable party

but keep going

i want to see how far into a corner you can talk yourself or how hard you can throw op under the bus for your autism

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
and using autism as an insult really proves that you're just in it for that feeling of satisfied superiority. read the thread. figure out the events yourself. or you could be op just trying to come off as the victim. either way, you're an ass.

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
wow i didn't actually expect you to keep responding

lmao you're so obsessed with being right but you think i'm the one here for satisfaction and superiority huh

i'm just here because it's almost 5 in the morning and i'm all caught up on my tags and you making a spectacle out of yourself over something that doesn't matter is actually pretty entertaining

op had the good sense to at least bow out of the thread before they started looking petty in addition to looking stupid, so i mean they've got one over on you already

just some food for thought

Re: below anon

it's kind of interesting to see how some people like to try to take the 'high ground' and call other people retarded in an attempt to 'win the thread'. i don't even know what you're trying to accomplish here.

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
lmao wow either you're the densest and most narcissistic person on the planet or i'm being competently counter-trolled

in either case i applaud you

thanks for the memories anon

Re: below anon

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
oh wow, please come back with more witty rejoinders of what a big dumb stupid autist someone is to reply to you being a shit. yes, please, win this. win this for your mom. win this for your family. i'm sure they'd like to have something on the mantel that isn't just your ribbons for participation.
