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.

CONCERNS | RESOURCES

ok i had to come back to this days later because i'm still just boggling at this comment

quick rundown for anyone bothering with this thread

native: an organism that has been part of the ecosystem since before humans started altering the ecosystem on a grand scale

non-native: not native, an organism that is in a place because humans brought it there

naturalized: a not-native species that has settled into the ecosystem and is chugging along without continued human intervention

invasive: a naturalized, non-native species that is disruptive to the native ecosystem, often because it competes with other species for resources or has an unnaturally severe impact on other species

in the context of the us, native and non-native are usually defined in relation to european settlement of the continent, not in relation to native american agriculture, because the former was infinitely more disruptive than the latter (bringing species in from another continent instead of from a couple miles thataway tends to do that)

proof that this is actually how these terms are used: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/ct/technical/ecoscience/invasive/?cid=nrcs142p2_011124 (it's about plants but the same applies to animals)

so, no, cats are not native, and they never will be native.

they will also never not be invasive unless they were very genetically different from how they are. cats today have not changed, genetically, since they first landed on american soil.

the natural prey of the domestic cat is the house mouse. they evolved in africa to be around human settlements and hunt the vermin that likewise evolved to take advantage of human activity. in the us, they do not just hunt mice. they are known to kill all kinds of birds - far more birds than would naturally be killed, and far more birds than those birds' reproduction capabilities are meant to be able to sustain.

on top of that, the ecological niche cats occupy is already filled in the us by foxes and coyotes, and cats' hunting behavior competes with those native small predator species for prey. cats have a very strong hunting drive; they will try to kill whether they're hungry or not. that's not a moral judgment on cats, that's just what they do. we probably bred that into them, because we needed mousers.

as for naturalization: i'm honestly not sure that they're even naturalized, because domestic cats are constantly being pushed into the feral population by escapes and abandonment, on top of feral reproduction. cats in the us aren't like dingoes in australia, i've never heard of a feral colony existing in a completely wild state away from all human activity. i could be wrong about that.

but yeah even if there are naturalized feral colonies that doesn't make your domesticated cat a native species. if it were a native or even naturalized species, it would not be in your house cuddling up to you.

How long do the mods usually take to get to apps?

Reminds me a little bit of Neverwhere... I like.

I recently discovered that my rectum had prolapsed a bit after a poop and now I'm all scared to poop :(

I like to prepare each tag in the combo in multiple tags and then post them at the same time (or as close to it as humanly possible, anyway). So they have to be all to the partner's tag. But as other people have said, if it's a toplevel you've gotta reply to yourself.

That's a problem in DWRP as a whole I'm afraid. If you're an LCW, don't have friends in a game when you join, or are playing something they're, god forbid, canon-blind to, be prepared for people to turn up their nose at you.

And no, "just tagging out" isn't the magic solution people claim it is, as you've discovered.

I mean, in that example I'd guess the other player just unconsciously felt that their character receiving the teacup was implied and forgot to think about it at all, but I do see your point in general.

Also I realize you'd probably be more worried about the introspection in that example, actually. But, then, I personally enjoy keeping introspection quiet sometimes, so I very well might tease out the question of what she saw last night. I'd make it more clear that I was doing it on purpose, though.

On the other hand, see the previous thread about too much stuff happening in tags. If yours meanders across a bunch of topics, yeah, I'll choose the most important ones that I can condense into a single coherent reply and discard the things that won't fit into the flow.

As long as they're giving me something to respond to, I'm happier that they're NOT pointlessly pushing themselves to match length.

apps get processed on the 11th. from my experience acceptances tend to go out late that same day.

Almost always no. Like the other anons, I've gotten kinda pissed off in situations before where the other player was consistently giving me one-sentence replies that were completely without substance to my several sentences. I guess feeling snubbed is the wrong term. I don't take it personally, I just assume they're a bad RPer. It's not a matter of matching my length, though, it's just a matter of giving me a good tag for the situation, whatever length it is.

The one time I actually did feel snubbed and was really angry at the other person was a few years ago (it still sticks in my memory, yes) when a character solicited mine to tell a story about something that was important to her. I had my character tell the story in detail, breaking it up into a few tags that were each about 1-2 paragraphs long (with a chance for the other player to reply inbetween each, to ask questions, derail the thread, give reactions, or whatever she wanted). At the end of this highly emotional experience for my character (who had never told anyone this story before), the tag I got in return was "Wow, that sounds interesting." That was it. I don't care if people don't want to read my character's pretentious prattling on, but you're the one who asked me to type it all out, I gave you every opportunity to stop the thread if it was boring you, and you can't even give me a facial expression or something in response?

I still mad. This person is just a shitty rper all around, though, and I stopped even trying to tag her after that.

You really think that didn't happen before? People talk about the weirdest things at times. The internet just makes it far easier to share with a wider audience.

so pathetic.

it never happened before for me and that's all i really care about

if it happened before for you i lament your sad strange little life

there are a lot of people make fun of the sperglords in the dragon called thread but this has to be the spergiest comment i've read all year

I play Korra! Not great at Asami, but I could give her a shot. I have a plot in mind but it revolves almost entirely around smut. Adding I'm into Korra being the more assertive one in the relationship, I'm not really a fan of the stuttering blushing interpretation of her.

don't you have other things to do than to stan for this failed game 24/7?

eat, sleep perhaps?

new zealand tho

where cats should be kept inside because they are the predatory animals, not because something bigger is going to eat them

and here i thought kiwis were the predominant predatory animal in new zealand

your bizarre obsession with a game that hasn't even opened yet is sad.

go outside. take a walk. get therapy.

seriously. i don't know if you actually have a grudge against someone at this point or if you're really that bored. because this is a visibly concerted effort to be a shit stirring dick with zero deets. we get it. you hate someone. or you're jealous. whatever it is, stop. you're not ten and this isn't funny. i know you are but what am i? come on.

your pitiful obsession with a game that will never open is sad

go inside. fall down some stairs. buy a dog.

shut up, kabriel

show me on the doll where the troll touched you anon

yep

i loled
