rpanons | You're all idiots except for me

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.

Any thoughts on the impending HMD anons?

It will likely end up like every other HMD in most ganes. The people who need it won't post and the people who post won't need it so it will just end up with not comments about people's playing or buttpats.

no comments about people's playing I mean.

it's not a big deal imo. its nice to see some organization though

mostly i'm surprised at how the vote is going.

I couldn't even see the point of the middle option and I'm less concerned about someone abusing anon than people not even bothering to comment because they don't want to give a signed-in comment that's mostly critical, so I'm not really surprised.

The middle option forces people to log in even to a sock, so the mods could ban an account being abusive, though that only is a small deterrent of needing a new sock. The way it is worded in the poll is a bit different than how it's described though, but then comm membership is open so it could mean a sock would have to join to comment.

Who would you say needs it?

Honestly, I don't have anyone in particular I want to crit, that's just the way HMDs always go in games. The people who want crit usually don't need it and the people who don't want crit are the ones who do need it.

I can think of a couple who could use some crit to improve their tags to be more interesting, but with me being canon blind any crit I'd consider giving likely would be ignored anyhow. But really, I don't know most of the canons and if I don't know the canon, I just care about them being fun to tag with.

I've gotten so many boring ass tags from two bit characters, and it makes threading with them a chore instead of a hobby. This game is such a mix bag when it comes to quality.

It really is and I do think a few could use to polish their writing skills before characterization. I'd rather play with someone who is fun and OOC than someone who is IC and boring. IC and fun of course is preferable but I'll take fun over IC if I can't have both.

tbh I think this is exactly why we need this HMD. Even if you're canonblind, you can still give tips on how to improve their writing and how to spruce up their tags in general. HMDs aren't just about ICness.

I worry I'm boring sometimes, and I already know most people don't know my canon, but if people do find me boring I'd appreciate tips on how to improve, or at least someone saying what specifically is boring so I can think about how to improve it.

there are some people around that i don't really enjoy tagging because they seem to focus on speed instead of substance (boomerangers who send very short tags with little to work with). and the mod really needs to proofread before she posts things. but i agree that it won't be useful. even if everyone posts it'll probably just be buttpats, people are too afraid of leaving real crit and having someone freak out on them these days.

you kids these days and your asspats and your buttstrokes...! when I was your age, we gave everyone detailed crit even in the harshest of winters! uphill both ways, with tears in our hand-me-down clothes and livejournal breathing down our necks!

And we liked it.
