You sound fat

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.

Oh, and they also host things the original scanners ask not to be put on manga reader websites. Another 'eh I guess that's shitty but not the real reason' thing.

"I just want to play it by ear" is actually code for "I want my character to win but it sounds rude if I just come out and say it."

Not all the time, but at least half the time. 'We'll see how it goes' is fine if you're having a fight thread for which the fun is mucking about doing crazy fight stuff, but if the outcome matters? AYRT is right.

It's kind of building off the formula that Team Fortress and even League had - it's actually quite a good step. A few balancing issues with damage, but overall, it's pretty solid.

I've noticed the fandom has been really awesome and the creators engaged so... what's your thoughts?

Got scurred because I wasn't feeling up to playing the character at her most conniving in a game setting. Didn't mesh as well as I'd hoped with her.

I do some surface studying. I have a character who's really into mechanics and stuff so I try to keep on top of terms and phrases for that kind of geekdom when possible.

Depends on details a little, and how long you've known them, but PSL's are a good way to go if they're not able to be in game for a while.

Nah brah

That person in your game who every time they're totally going to do x in y game drops their thread two posts in with everyone. Handwaves the thing, 95% of their CR is handwaving

Do you even know what it is to LIVE?

tbh "anti-women/anti-children and focus on men" just sounds like the original anon is pissy that there's a focus on men and not women/children so they're calling it anti-women/children when it's not, it's just not about them.

Made a journal for a character I'd wanted to play for a long time who needs a really specific setting to shine, because I finally found a game that would suit him.

Game closed right after I submitted my app.

this is my fave fandom ive been in in awhile, which is surprising since it's so huge. mostly seeing nothing but quality stuff tho

I've been finding that it's harder than you'd think to get to those 5 action or 10 network comments in a thread. People I've been tagging with tend to drop one or two comments shy of that mark, which is especially frustrating because we're both then losing out on points that could be banked to make special requests later. Often times the thread is dropped before there's an IC resolution so handwaving happens a lot, too.

There's a core group or two that tags pretty regularly and they're pretty good about reaching out to others but a few people's hearts just aren't in tagging outside of the few people they're there to play with, so it can be hard to get traction. You'll want to try to stick it through the three week doldrums because it can take a lot more time than you'd hoped to build CR outside of friends you joined the game with.

It's going to be a different experience than Bakerstreet by a long shot in some ways, and other ways totally not. Just try to go with the flow and keep Bakerstreet-levels of investment with strangers until you find other players whose style and characters click with yours. You'll get less jerked around if you try to keep a steady pace but don't sweat the small stuff.

fear of other fans of the canon. i can only play from unpopular or obscure stuff because i always feel like i will be judged and found lacking.

Yeah, I personally don't buy it, it's reaching to the nth degree. I was just trying to connect some really, really distant dots.

put a little bit of vodka and vinegar + water in a spray bottle and spray the insides in the shoes a few times. let it sit overnight, it should kill everything causing the smell.

we use it all the time for costume crew related care for stuff we can't wash every night.

no

to me, that's like a disclaimer for prejudiced people to GTFO, and i'm not a prejudiced person, so what's the issue

(Anonymous) 2016-05-14 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
depends on how long you've waited. i'd say a month is a generous amount of time to give them to get their shit together.

also, if you're the type who can actually handle confrontation, it might pay off to tell them "hey listen i'm going to look for a new (xyz)." then they can't say that you never warned them.

if there's undeniable proof: yes.

if there's deniable but still solid proof: yes, but i won't go up to them as aggressively. i'll be like "hey, is there a problem you wanted to talk about with me?" treating people politely goes a long damn way.
