Trapped in the city of one loo

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.

I can't even remember how or why City of one Loo got its start.

I do recall there being a game called Diarrhea Cities, however, that came from a 'make a game based on your captcha' thread.

City of One Loo got its start because a bunch of people were bored and made up fake secrets about a fake game and submitted it to RP Secrets back in the day, and people tried to figure out what game it was. The only reason they stopped fucking with everyone is because someone tried to blame a completely unrelated game so they came clean about it, but it was really funny while it lasted.

i thought it was the result of one of those "take the words from your captcha and turn it into a game premise" threads

It was an April Fools joke.

One of the One Loo founders here, and yeah that's basically how it went down. IIRC it started out with us just wanting to make a ridiculously vague secret of a popular character using a really commonly used icon to see how many people we could convince it was about them. It didn't work out quite as we planned, though, because only maybe one or two people fell for the bait and then we started feeling bad about it... so instead we started posting anon about how it was TOTALLY FOR REAL about some top-secret game that we couldn't talk about or the mod would freak out and shut down everything.

It was the most idiotic, unbelievable story ever... but people still took it seriously. So we kept pushing it to see how far we could go before people figured out it was a joke. In the end we had a secret locked game run by a crazy mod where everyone played OOC KH yaois and at least five or six different made up players posting anonymously to RP secrets. We kept up the joke across maybe two or three secret submissions before someone started talking about how it was their game (even though it obviously wasn't). It was getting kind of old by then anyway, so we let it drop.

The April Fool's joke came months after the fact, because we got bored and the entranceway mods (the joke was created by a bunch of eway players) wanted to do something for April Fools day, so they replaced the entire game profile with the fake One Loo profile.

Good ol' 2009, when jokes like this were still funny...

Another involved party. I felt really bad at the time it happened because one or two people did get angry but now I look back at this stupid crap and laugh.
