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.

I apologize if I weight in, but while I had a similar idea time ago, more on a format akin to High Seas, but again, it would make me so happy to see this game. I'd like to put in some ideas as well:

I think I have -some- of the science in mind to explain how do people get in that universe without saying "The Powers That Be Brought You Here For a Purpose", which could be simply the FTL physics of the world being used so much it begins to grab people from thousands of universes, the player characters included among that list. Some could have been simply taken at whim into the giant space station, while others with ships could have perhaps arrived simply due to a mess-up with their FTL/subspace drive.

The player characters possess some sort of insider network and existing under a "watch list", reasons ranging from being a legitimate threat to the government, to simply having the wrong name at the wrong place. That way, while they could access the Space Internet anywhere in that universe (with Space Forums, Space 4chan, Space Tumblr, Space News, Space Youtube, Space Hulu, etc), they could also have a private network for themselves.

I do like a lot the possibility of lightening up applications, focusing on samples, and letting this me something light-hearted so people can play whatever they want, whenever if it's adventure, SOL, war, crack, horror, etc.

Depends on the language.

I'm ESL and already play with a couple friends in our native language since it's most comfortable for us. I have no interest in being someone's Rosetta Stone or whatever (again, it happened before) in RP though, like I wouldn't want to spend more time correcting someone's tag to me than actually playing with them. That just becomes an unpaid translator job.

depending on where you live there might be a socialization site, like I know philly has one but the name eludes me, and it's not for sex or dating but just to get a group of friends.

and if you're living in an actual neighborhood it's almost summer. Help throw a blockparty or host a BBQ for the 4th and talk to people.

there is merit in the case, based on the fact that he was essentially unable to do anything for about seven months, since they could have called him back at any time. take that time to travel? but what if you're called in tomorrow? take another job to pass the time? oops, you don't know your availability. etc etc, it's still first world as fuq, but there's legitimate "distress" there, aka basically being held hostage by your job because you have no idea if/when they'll want you back.

the whole "bore-out" thing is bullshit tho and they should have left it out of the case.

how do people who play party members, or otherwise not the inquisitor/warden/etc., deal with those characters? do you pick canon points from before meeting them? do you go along with whatever personality the person playing the MC gives them, do you have them say "oh weird you're not my inquisitor," or something?

i'm interested in playing from both sides of that but haven't tried yet, so just curious.

do you mean on memes or in games?

in memes, i usually just wing it. sometimes there's a little ooc discussion on what canon point we want to do, but not much else because by tagging together, my character is accepting the protag as the version they know.

in games, i app in with whatever world state/protag is the default from my playthrough. there's always the "not my inquisitor" conversation if an inquis apps in or is there already, but that usually provides interesting opportunities for cr development.

this is the weirdest question. honestly, you can't even play the companions before meeting the protags because that just delves mostly into headcanon territory and no one wants to deal with that sort of thing.

typically, most people play with their own protag in mind. this is not law, but that tends to happen. if you're speaking in terms of memes, if a protag tags a companion, usually you go with that as the companion's protag. obviously things can change up a bit -- we already know alternate worlds are a thing that exist in the da world -- but people usually talk about it beforehand if you go the route of the companion not knowing that particular protag (personally, i've done it a few times and it can be fun).

in games, i always app in with my own world state. my companion knows his/her own protag(s) and won't deviate from that. there's always the conversation about companions not knowing the protag (which does get kind of old after a while, but part and par for the course playing from canons such as this), but can be handled well if the protag player isn't one of the special sect who get pissy and passive-aggressive if your character doesn't recognize theirs. aka if you're playing the protag side: don't do this.

this sort of thing is really a choose your own adventure. there's no "right" or "wrong" way to play it. just communicate your wants for the thread/cr.

thank you! this makes sense and is sort of what i figured would be the norm, but i wanted to get other people's thoughts on it just in case.

sorry about the question! i haven't really thoroughly checked out any casts, so i wasn't sure, and i didn't want to be one lone jerk alienating people by doing things not how everyone else does. but this definitely makes sense, thank you!

For any of them, since I can't decide who to pick up! Prefer usernames that's rather open, so I can play them as either innocent or traitors as I like.
