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.

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.

Re: ayrt

what do mods do when a player doesn't tag outside of their clique? when they ignore tags?

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

uh, nothing?

mods can ask a player for different AC if they're turning it in with the same two or three characters every month, but that's about it. they can't do anything about ignoring tags, nor about staying in your clique if you have a modicum of intelligence about it.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

they can issue strikes

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

... no. no, they can't. not for not tagging a specific player. not if they want to keep the game open and not have a mass exodus.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

not a specific player. a whole group of them.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

again, unless "a whole group of them" means "the entire game minus one or two" they really can't. players cannot be expected to tag everyone in a game, especially when most games have 75+ characters now.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

who said the entire game? ffs, when you're not swinging in one extreme, you're swinging in the other.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

and you're so far gone you actually think mods should issue strikes to players who don't tag ocs

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

if you refuse to respond to tags by certain characters based on nothing they've done wrong, yes. once or twice, no, but if you're never responding to certain tags due to your own stupidity and cliquishness, then yes.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

no. i'm sorry, but no. i may not agree with 'eww icky ocs get them out of my game', but i will never agree that anyone has to play with anyone else. they may be asked to expand their cr, but they're allowed to choose who they tag or what types they tag with. if they don't want to play with ocs, you and the mods can't make them.

jfc, why would anyone want to force someone to play with them?

pure, unadulterated entitlement

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

if you want to pick and choose who your character interacts with, stick with psls. isn't that what we say to people who join games but only want to tag their friends?

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

you're batshit as fuck and if you honestly believe this shit you're spewing i hope to god you get ignored right the fuck out of every game in dwrp

people like you are exactly the reason why most people avoid oc players. you're literally a walking stereotype

Re: ayrt

flail flail handflap handflap

i don't even play ocs. i just like poking at hypocrites.

[(Anonymous)]

you're not really making sense in this discussion, anon. the topic is 'mods can't make people tag ocs'. where you're getting 'them' or 'a group' from is you jumping all over the place in your head and not articulating, because we're all going 'no, mods can't make people tag a specific player or a group of players. mods can't make anyone tag anyone else. all they can do is ask for more activity outside of the activity they're showing to prove they're playing with the game as a whole and not isolating themselves in a clique'. if a player can't do that because no one will tag them, then unfortunately that player will have to drop because even if they go to the mods and go 'i tag out but no one tags me back' the mods can't force the players they tag to play with them.

ayrt is really obviously a buttsteamed oc player trying to ~hint~ at their belief that mods should issue strikes to broad swaths of their own game for ignoring the oc players in it

their sense of entitlement is so strong they honestly believe mods not only can but should mandate their players tag a type of character they're not interesting in tagging. they're essentially advocating for affirmative action for ocs

Re: dda

[(Anonymous)]

this is funny to watch you hypocrites tighten your tinfoil hats.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

just to clarify, by "a whole group" you mean the tittybaby oc players, right?

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

so all oc players are tittybabies, and not the players who are so squeamish they can't have their precious canon babbus touching the dirty ocs?

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

you're certainly making a good case for that point

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

whether it's squeamish players or people who just don't want to play their char against that char type, oc or not, you can't fucking force them to play with an oc or an obscure char or a canon they don't want. how hard is that for you to get?

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

ok then, next time we cry that people who only tag their castmates should be kicked out of games, we'll come back to this.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

if they're only tagging two-three players who happen to be their castmates, yes, call them out. if they're ignoring the game setting as a whole and playing an integral position that needs to tag out, yes, call them out. if they just don't want to play with ocs or animes or that horror show, no, you can't do shit about it.

and really, 'only playing with castmates' really depends on the type of game and how big their cast is. if they have 20 cast in a game, that's a lot of people to keep track of, if they even want to do that.

and ftr, i think people should be open to tagging more than their cast if they join a panfandom game. i just don't agree with 'well, everyone in the game should get a chance to play with x', because it doesn't work that way.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, for serious infractions

not tagging you is not a serious infraction and they're not going to issue them on your behalf because then the whole game would have strikes

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

if you're trying to say you think mods should wag their finger and lecture their players to tag you, stop dancing around and just come out and say it

i mean, that's only tried by the most spineless of mods in response to bawling tittybabies and it never ever works because as like half a dozen people have pointed about you can't make someone play with people they don't want to play with--

but if that's what you keep ~hinting at~ stop being a pussy and just come out and say it. own your crazy
