rpanons | I'm bad at this

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. 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.

i'm gonna be honest, hh is a really teenagers and anime-heavy game. if you play a character who does nothing but talk down to teenagers you're gonna have a tough time, so i'm not going to say "more adults!!", because it's a shitty suggestion. i will say don't app if you're looking to keep away from all teenager cr, it'll save everyone a headache. i don't think you ~have to app an anime~, either, but if your character isn't going to deal well with character types common in anime, it's going to take a little work to get cr. contrary to popular belief, it's not impossible as long as you're willing to tag around and able to be realistic about the fact that some people are lost causes. (some of the sports players clearly only want to play with other sports like 90% of the time. that kind of cliquishness isn't universal, though, and tbh it's just as annoying from the gross legbeard brigade.)

adults (or mature older teenagers/young adults) who can balance cr with the other adults in-game and engage with teenagers is probably the best way to describe the kind of character i, personally, am looking for. to be frank, it's not like our firmly adult characters are models of maturity or grace: it's mostly gintama and kill la kill with a smattering of some others, so the ratio of dick jokes is pretty high.

girls are always welcome. yes, including the idol and sports kinds. there's a lot of complaining about gay teenage boys (as if that's different from anywhere else in rp?) but imo it's a sort of chicken-and-egg thing where people who only care about yaoi apped in and that turned some girls off but a smaller amount of teenage girls meant players of teenage boys would go for other ships, so even for those players who would be interested in het it's just not that easy. older high school range girls would be especially great from a teenage perspective. adult women of any stripe would also be really great to see - i don't have the time for one atm but i'd like to add one to my game roster some time soon. and until then i'd kill to play with one.

anon above me seems to have the expectation that all adult-teen cr in this game is mentoring/parenting shit and that's not, in my experience, really true, and especially not on a game-wide scale.

I'm an anon that just responded a little ways down, I am with you on this. Thank you for putting stuff out there in a well-thought out way, even if it's not taken well by others!

you do realize anon made it seem out to be like their character doesn't talk down to teens and has spent time in different game tagging shit animu protags. their point is holly is an interesting game they'd like to try, but their characters would have a hard time finding varied cr when all of the adult roles (you know, the parent slots, are mostly 18+) are just the same kid tropey shounen shit that probably wouldn't mesh will with soon to be middle-aged characters or older.

good to know you're the special 1% snowflake of holly, anon. your experiences don't mean shit if someone who is only interested in apping into holly sees rampant emojis on the network, recycled plots, favoritism of sports animu/idols, canonmate cliques getting into same teams repeatedly in ooc planning means their perceptions of a game is whoa!!! wrong!!! at least that's what i see when i wanna gauge if holly is worth applying to or not. your idea of 'adults' isn't the same as anon's above either if you think gintama or kill la kill characters count.

on a serious note it's good that you're actually giving points and examples, anon, but the whole 'be the change' is useless to preach when you guys are known for being unwelcoming to new players that don't fit the norm of powered kids or sports teens. you could have more adult characters in your game that are more 'models of maturity or grace' and most of my muselist is that. and i'd like to play in a similar game to holly that isn't just a meme or psl, but fuck trying to play in a game where 95% of your characters are the same kids or teens ready to help my middle-aged character solve their angst with capslock shenanigans or uplifting shounen speeches. i've had the same cookie cutter cr for years, but for once maybe i'd like some adult cr shooting the shit in animu suburbia.

so what qualities does a character needs to possess to 'count'

*need gdi

lbr they just want adults so there's more housing for their teens

real big incentive to app, so even more people can drop your threads

what's/who's in the legbeard brigade?

you're doing a piss-poor job of advertising your game when the point anon was trying to make went completely over your head. so are you gonna give links and facts for your experiences, too? girls are always welcome in any game regardless, but not when most of your shit animus aim for fujoshit ships and leave others with lackluster tags since building cr is too much of a hassle with the high turnover!!

btw you're putting down anon's opinion of a game they're only interested in when holly's ass is constantly exposed to shit animus getting 300+ comments for emojis on network and boomeranging with canonmates in their threads. what's the point of apping in a ''mature'' adult when sports teens don't want to engage in return? your experience doesn't mean shit to any of us so keep combing over your threads for more deets.

who hurt you, anon

considering you and other anons love sharing experiences that i have seen absolutely no evidence of in the game (where are these rampant emoji posts? who is calling who a granny?) how about we all just join in on one big session of pulling bullshit out of our asses? because that's all i'm finding in this entire thread
