I'm bad at this

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

couldn't even be bothered to app after i and others were frantically buttpatted in the mod plurk ("OMG PLZ PLZ PLZ YOU HAVE ADULTS AND WOMEN PLZ BRING THEM BRING YOUR GROWN-UPS WE LOVE THEM HNNNG LOVE LOVE") and then got absolute jack shit in the test drive

i top-leveled with different options, i tagged out, got maybe one or two bites before they fell flat because they were too busy tagging their 9 millionth obscure castmate

adding in that i've played the whole mentoring, advice giving adult who has to pick up after all the shonen protags deal before and it's incredibly draining. glad i gave this game a miss in the end

not to push it too much, but i've seen your story a few times now and i know which test drive this was?

i don't see an adult that didn't end up apping or just didn't respond, i hate to be the one here to call bullshit but this actually looks more like grudgewank now

so did you delete your thread or what? really not trying to pick a fight, i am genuinely curious.

da but above anon's story has happened to me too

it's pretty obvious you're desperate for people to like your favorite game, but please stop accusing people of lying or somehow inviting shitty treatment

alright, i got curious so i checked the tdms all the way back to the end of 2014 and i found two characters who sort of fit your stories.

no need to be so aggressive though. ayrt was just curious about the validity of your claims and i checked, so there. sorry it happened to you guys, but the tdms where i found those shafted adult characters were in january and february and neither character had different options in their top-level nor tagged out.

yeah, maybe adult characters are being ignored in favor of teenage animes, but at least make your stories more believable.

read the reply you just replied to. they say at the top that they're a da and this isn't 'their' claim. so they're a second anon who's had to go through this.

frankly? i'm more turned off by the fact that anyone here is 'fact checking tdms' back to 2014. like, come on, guys. just admit you can be cliquey and unwelcoming to your fave char types and back the fuck away.

i know they were a da, that's why i said "you guys".

it's not that strange to want to find deets? i'm perfectly aware that the playerbase here revolves around young anime characters, but other anons are making it sound worse than it actually is. holly heights has had issues with cliqueyness for a long time now, it's nothing new and it's not any more noticeable than it was when people were naming players instead of just putting everyone in the game under a single blanket.

don't you see that this kind of behavior is part of the problem, though? people are giving their experiences with the game and you're coming along going "Well, I went and fact checked and verified and *I* can't see what the hell you're talking about, so I call bullshit."

this is why the game never comes up on either comm anymore. people have just given up on it because they know they'll either get ignored or have people like you come in and la la la at them about how 'there's no wank in holly heights'.

whether you agree with it or not, you need to face the fact that the game as a whole is just unwelcoming if you don't play a certain char type. sure, people can try to be the change, but i can tell you that i personally wouldn't stay in a game long if i felt like no one wanted to play with my char or the one/two threads i got were dropped or felt like i was getting a bored, obligated tag back. fuck that. i'll play where i can actually have fun. you can keep your little circlejerk.

ayrt just has to keep going to every complaint and proselytize for the most holy of holies that is hh.

"the game is cliquey"
"you're a liar and I went back with a fine-tooth comb to try and out you for saying that!"

"they claim to want adults but dont engage with them"
"ugh we don't REALLY want adults, we want 'adults' that tell poop jokes and have the emotional maturity to be besties with teens, why aren't you a mind reader???"

slow your roll, anon

your game can be as great or amazing as sliced bread, but learn to accept its problems. i've deleted top-levels for my characters in tdms since there was an obvious bias towards canonmates or teens, and with the prompts offered my top-levels were just as approachable or open so.

i can't be the change when the other side doesn't give a shit about taking chances either. i even tagged characters on your fourth wall with my adults before i was ignored or given unengaging tags in return. so feel free do more searching when i just deleted my tags in the end, anon.

again, I was genuinely curious when I asked, I checked something I was curious about which is natural

i'm sorry to have caused unnecessary problems

not everyone's experience is going to be great just as not everyone's time in the game is going to be terrible, I'm sorry you had an awful time and didn't get anything in return, I truly am.

what, people are just supposed to accept an anon comment at face value?

Re: dda

of course! people never ever exaggerate or misrepresent the situation or deliberately make shit up just to troll when they post anon complaints

That wasn't what I was doing at all, I was more concerned that maybe they were someone I had tagged and lost the thread. Without finding anything though, it was a very unsure feeling about what is the truth.

I never said it was my favorite game, but it seems to me that if you guys are trying to give a balanced view of a game that you don't play in or really hate that the opinion is going to be very skewed.

It was a genuine curiosity that turned into fact-checking, I'm sorry to have caused a problem but I don't see this as any different than double checking Facebook share fodder.

fwiw, I never said they asked for shitty treatment
