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.

Soap Opera game

(Anonymous) 2016-01-06 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I sadly could not run this game, but I have tons of ideas and would be happy to help someone else run it just to see it in the world. Or just kick them around here for fun!

Pretty much over dramatic slice of life to the extreme. Everything excessive, nothing needing terribly too much logic. Full of ridiculous coincidences, dramatic tragedies, and lots of comas.

-everyone needed to have at least 3 ridiculous connections to current characters like "Long lost lover" or "new maid with a secret" (probably only one at the start, or have some NPCs early character can make back story with.) Before app rounds there'd be sorta a combine ATP/RP with me/TDM where current players and new ones can plot out connections to each other. And mods could keep an eye out for cliquishness this way, if suzy and bobby and jan all only make connections among each others characters. You wouldn't be required to do anything with these, but it gives a strong, ridiculous start and would help weed out people who don't "get" the feel/idea.

-And all face twins would really be long lost twins/triplets/quadruplets

-And every month or so depending on the pacing there'd be random ridiculous tropes assigned (you won a billion dollars! Your pool boy was murdered! Your dog cured cancer! your husband ran to mexico with the maid and the fortune!)

-Any hiatuses are comas. Amnesia optional.

-Any drops are dramatic deaths that got 100% retconned when someone else apped in but still happened. Players can use "selective amnesia" to pick and chose how much or little of old CR/situation they wanna use (And it would be expected to go both ways.)

-people have babies all the time, and you can always app in as that baby, mysteriously suddenly old enough to interact with with no explanation. or it can just disappear. w/e.
But instead of tdm you'd have like backstory plotting memes for new players

I had no idea if I wanted it to be AU or a Jam Jar with, idk, some mischief god who loves telenovela's playing director or something like that. both could go interesting ways, but the later, tho I liked the idea of a memory loss type thing where people slowly realized how ridiculous shit was, I couldn't figure out any sort of meta plot that seemed darker and more intense than the idea justified. Then again if anyone goes for this, and you want it to go there, knock your self out!

It'd have to have a lot of built up places for communication to run smoothly. It'd probably attract some who weren't into it for fun but for serious barbie doll playing, but hopefully everything would end up so pushed up to 11 that they'd just settle into it.

Also just to clarify, I will make this game and hand it over whole sale too, if you don't enjoy making games but want to run it. i just can't comit to a modding schedule in any way that would be fair to players.

God no! Link it here?

As long as you don't mind if I use it as research? I am still trying to see if I could make this a DR or something I could maintain if no one else bites.
