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'm wondering why only one for Daimonia and Aiada when both had enough volunteers who are reasonably active and seem decent enough to fill both. Players were only advised about the same thing the announcement gave that they'll be backups.

The rest were no surprise though.

Good old mod favoritism. Most of the characters chosen are also personal friends of the head mod.

do you have any actual specific objections on who should have been picked, or?

Not ayrt, I was the one who was wondering about why one rep for Daimonia and Aiada.

Looking at the choices, I can see why the mods didn't pick White, since she got the political rep position and admitted to furthering an agenda. But the rest of them look fine and the players are active and the characters reasonably accessible and the players get involved in plots. It makes absolutely no sense why only one rep for Daimonia and Aiada and some feedback would have been appreciated.

yeah, if there was an ic reason for it i feel like they should have said so? otherwise it just looks strange.

Maybe it will come up in the IC announcement? We still haven't had that yet.

And of course it didn't.

here's a thought

why don't you ask or have your character ask?

there is the mod contact page which I believe allows for anon commenting

I actually did and haven't seen a response yet. Someone else ICly asked about Aiada and that really didn't explain much and just gives the impression it was for OOC reasons.

If there's an IC reason it also makes no sense. The reps were picked before threads even started. I'm seeing similarities in things said between people picked and not picked. And if it's IC, why stress the whole well if the rep drops, is fired, etc. your character gets a chance. And if it's a max of two positions, is there a way people who didn't get picked can run again later? It just seems poorly handled with little feedback to the players and that leaves me not surprised that someone is crying mod favoritism. I'd just like to know what I can do to get more involved in the overall game plot rather than just character drama (though don't get me wrong, I love that stuff).

Im a little baffled as to why people were told their success or lack of ahead of time. Seems like it would just kill the drive for doing those logs.

And yet at almost 500 comments the log seems to be doing okay.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-23 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
and somehow the mod doing aiada's tags hasn't tagged back in days.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-23 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
chill out anon, they just recently lost a pet and they've been pretty down about it. they'll get to it.

I actually did bring that up and was told it was for administrative purposes.
