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.

when did we start using courier/tt for ic text posts?

7/10

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
you really got them going

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's been a thing for a really long time. Carries over from LJ, I suspect.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, i remember not having to use big tags for tt on lj like you do here, but i couldn't pinpoint when we changed

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so that's what you meant

IDK, I checked my old posts from two years back and I immediately switched from using pre to courier new plus font size 2

I don't know what you can infer from this. Did I switch because the font was too small, or did I switch because it looked the same and everyone else was using it?

tt is definitely too small as rendered on this site.
same goes for pre.


Sorry I can't offer a more helpful data point

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
I personally use tt and big together. less to type, imo.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
i actually meant when we started changing the font for text posts at all, not what precise code we use

when i first started rping (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) we didn't change the font for text posts - at most, maybe we'd change for handwritten notes

sorry for the confusion

yuuup. mbti itself is interesting, but when you get elitist as fuck about the types people apply to characters, you need to chill.

it's basically modern day astrology

the people that are obsessed with it overestimate how scientific it is

Considering the comm we're on, googling isn't always a great idea in this case. The context of the comment gave no indications of what it could be and would work for speaking of people into some new fad canon that is not as likely to be the first result in google since our fad canons aren't always mainstream enough.

I think it started happening around when Homestuck was really popular to RP from.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
ugh. i had to deal with more than one of those types of people a while ago. you'll be fine on memes, and thank you for sticking to only them and not games. you don't know how exhausting and unfun it is to deal with 4+ canonmates who hate the canon and fandom, and constantly bitch about it.

it almost killed my interest in the series.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
ehhhh

i remember it happening before homestuck tho

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
So if you play a character from a popular canon, how are you supposed to deal with having only 15 icons?

♫Buy a paid account♫

Everyone started buying paid accounts.

(Overinvested people with money bought paid accounts. Poor people who could not afford to buy paid accounts did not buy paid accounts.)

Breaking news: Denise has gone to wankgate and told them to calm their tits.

"I've told wankgate to calm their tits," said Denise. "Please respect this, or we might shut you down."

"Okay," said rpanons.

So wankgate users came over, ready to post all their deetless wank to rpanons, and shit all over the comm. But rpanons wasn't shut down, so they did it again. And then people finally calmed their tits somehow and rpanons wasn't shut down.

♫Now there's more art♫

Fan art commissioned from tumblr. Fan art commissioned for icons. Plurk users drawing stuff from their rp threads. Visualocity posts. Fancy journal coding.

I miss them. It was so easy to avoid players you didn't like in them since you just didn't friend their journal and could mostly pretend they didn't exist.

looking for a place to put a character from an obscure(ish?) movie canon. i'll do legwork for CR and whatever, just want somewhere apps are open now/soon and where it's not too hard to get involved.

the character is james from god help the girl if that makes a difference!

MUTANT PROM

i'm ready for another your character has superpowers AU game. something based on x-men or avengers: the initiative or whatever.

or is there already a game like this? i never see any in the game ads so i assumed there wasn't.

idk anon, games like this tend to fail or run out of steam really quick. institute couldn't even finish its end game because people straight up stopped caring enough to post

i've been using courier for text posts since 2007-8 or so, and i picked it up from other players, so i was not the only one

i started doing it in games where there were multiple network comm options. early polychromatic, for one?

you'd have some video posts or audio posts written in default font, and text posts done in courier to express the fact that they were icly words on a screen

oh boy is going to turn into another moba snob "only idiots don't know this acronym" thread?

maybe instead of assuming people know your stupid acronym you just lay it out in your op? idk, just spitballing

(Anonymous) 2016-05-23 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Keeping up on add/remove lists was such a pain in the ass, though. And then there was the difficulty of getting started in a game when half the playerbase hadn't added you by the time you made your first post...

They did have their pluses, though. I wish we still had the option, even if they're not my personal preference.
