rpanons | You sound fat

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.
