rpanons | Trapped in the city of one loo

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.

1. As people mentioned, because finishing the canon arc doesn't mean a character is flawless and boring and lacking in potential growth. If a character at the end of canon is a perfect being with no room to improve, they're badly written. Also, game events can create new reasons to grow and issues to resolve. And as one person mentioned, pressure to be IC often means that playing from an early canon point means just playing out the same arc as in canon, which is frankly tedious IMO.

2. I don't want to have to keep track of what canon information my character should know at their canon point vs what I know as a reader who has read the whole canon. I know what information is ICly known vs OOCly known but it's another level of annoying to remember exactly when small details were dropped, and sometimes it's just inconvenient to be without those details. It's easier on me as a player to match my character's base up with mine where it's reasonable, not because I want to show anyone up, but because I want to have less discrepancies to worry about when avoiding accidental infomodding or other awkward slips.
