rpanons | Too slow

Rundown:

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.

my bad, i could have sworn the consequences hit upon the third death

i don't think characters would ICly take death seriously if they think they come back consequence-free. obviously if people start forgetting major canon events after a few deaths, characters will be more likely to take things seriously

Not everyone comes from a big cast, or talks about canon events every day, though. Something like memory loss can stay hidden for a long time.

I'm not there yet, but if I decided to take my character down the multiple death/memloss route, I'd make it a point not to bring up the missing memory for at least a few weeks. When it did come out that my character was missing a chunk, I'd give them a different thing to blame. "I'm missing a memory from that last fog", or "I didn't sacrifice a virgin with everyone else and burned to death - it probably had something to do with that fire."

For me, it's more interesting if characters don't get to know how the game works. I don't want that kind of meta information reaching the ones I play, and will always misdirect them if I have the opportunity. The unknown is the root of tension - the horror of the game loses its essence as soon as we know who the "killer" is, so to speak.

this sounds excellent, anon! i'm really looking forward to people running wild with the memory loss
