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.

imo 'shock' would be fine as long as it were a static shock journal

what the fuck

she is seriously crazy and/or on drugs and i hope she's getting help

i was just about to say the first one. i just can't look at a username like 'makesmxney' and not go '... no.'

from what i've heard, she was in an area with tornadoes and hasn't checked in since a big one hit, so there's genuine concern for her.

it happened on lj back in the day and that's why it's in the tos of dwrp. to my knowledge, no one on dwrp (because there isn't a journal trading comm here) has ever given away an account and then gone crying to the staff about it being stolen. it was preemptive because of lj.

well, look at the numbers. if you have 10,000 users on the site and even half of them (which i'm guessing is more, tbh) buy at minimum, a paid each month, that's 15,000 a month. then you have premium paids, people buying paids for multiple accounts, people gifting paids to multiple people (think of christmas anons gifting a handful of 2-6 months of paid time to randoms), and it adds up to enough to keep the site running.

Considering the userbase, it likely adds up. I don't imagine they make a ton of money, but they certainly must make some. It does help that the overall design is simple and it's mostly textual content. Text actually uses very little bandwidth and what images they do use are very small.

I do know we certainly buy a lot of paids and keep them up and a good number buy premium paids as well. That stuff adds up over time and DW seems to very much love the RP community and it's likely because we do indeed bring in good income.

Undergrounds sucks ass honestly. So many of those canon characters that were AU'd in are unrecognizable and just plain bad. So few players understand how to AU a canon character and keep their personality and characterization intact. They should just play shitty OCs since that's really what they're already doing.

i love it because of that, not in spite of it

She'd need some mental help first. A new identity won't work if she's still crazy.

as a 40 year old that plays both on here and tumblr, I snorted my soda. Thanks, gramps!

It's in the TOS.

IX. No Resale of Services

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Website, use of the Website, or access to the Website.

and

XI. Member Conduct
You agree that you will not use the Website to:
[...]
12. Access any other person's account, or exceed the scope of the Website that you have signed up for; for example, accessing and using features you don't have a right to use.

First part would include giving/trading/selling away an account ("access to the Website"), the second part covers using a given/traded account ("access any other person's account"). The fact that it's a mutual exchange between RPers means they don't generally give enough of a fuck to come down on it unless someone complains, but they always have the option to if there are enough complaints from people who've traded shit to piss them off, or they decide the nibble it takes out of the revenue stream from rename tokens is annoying enough to penalize people for it.

There's also the fact that a DW account is forever and always considered to belong to the person who first created it, via the email address they created it on. Which on the side of the person taking over an account means that if the guy who handed it off to you a year ago decides that hey, they really want to use that username now (or hey, they're pissed because they feel you've snubbed them in a game, or hey, a weasel just crawled up their ass and died, or whatever reason), they can retake it as long as they still have access to the initial account. And on the side of the person handing off the account, it means that if that random sock they gave the account to decides to go be a dicksniff and violate the TOS six ways from Sunday, the best case scenario is that they're both banned, because the original owner is liable for anything done on the account.

No they wouldn't because that stuff can be faked quite easily, especially online. Most sites don't allow for giving away/trading/selling accounts because it is difficult for the site to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what truly happened and it becomes a matter of one person's word against another. DW staff would have to use information that can't be forged to prove ownership, and that's going to be login records and records of information changes on an account.

And if you think it's fucked up that people will do it, sadly it happens a lot. I've seen people get fucked over by friends and family all the time and it's usually because of some petty argument. Most companies don't want to get in the middle of personal disputes, so that's why they take the stance of it's the owner's responsibility. DW's only responsibility as far as security goes is to ensure that information that isn't publicly visible isn't leaked.

I left the Boomtown mods some crit after I dropped. Karra argued and would not let it go until I blocked her. Suddenly and mysteriously my name shows up on WG, bitching about stuff that only Karra knew/cared about. I still get the occasional "Hi [my name]" on WG in Karra-related threads two years after I left the game.

It's the same sort of shit she got banned from C&C for. You can Google the deets for that.

If you get along with her, that's fine, but just because you've never been on the receiving end of her particular brand of crazy doesn't mean it didn't happen to anyone else. I wouldn't call her a god awful person or anywhere near Ken's level, but I do think that if people don't know her deal they should be given fair warning.

And likely also because they know how stupid and indecisive people can be. Also if any of DW staff has worked customer service, they probably are fully aware that when people have disputes with each other, they often will fuck with that person's accounts. A company like DW has to take a stance of we're not responsible because not doing so means they'll get stuck being involved in people's personal disputes and those can get nasty and even involve the police, courts and lawyers. No one wants to get involved in shit like that if they can avoid it.

i've seen it thrown around but i still don't know what cuck is supposed to mean. is it cuck as in "cuckold"?

hadriel has some great ocs who are really welcoming ooc-wise

i have hexspheres if you'd like to use it!

yes. it was originally an insult toward people the neoreactionaries considered weak, because their weakness means a big scary black man is going to come steal their white woman. and since all women are sluts, she won't be able to resist the black man.

now, it's basically a catch-all for anyone that isn't racist or sexist enough for their tastes.

so where do you find those games? bc i'm dying for someplace new to join

I am sorta wondering if you don't realize that you have outed yourself here? And we all knew what you did.

This! I was away from rp-land for many years, and that's the biggest change that I've noticed. You could make a comment-based log back then, but they rarely - if ever - got finished. AIM was a way to go. It also allowed players to edit the logs into something readable before posting them.

Via plurk. Pretty much the mods plurk to their timelines, people replurk to spread the word.

The other way is via ATP. Post a character ad and if your preferences fit the game, a player is likely to mention it. Though this is less common since ATP is slowly becoming less and less used and plurk is becoming the main way to find games.
