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.

Closing already apparently. Mods in general just seem to give up too easily lately.

yep. if a game isn't an instant hit with hundreds of apps every month, then it's a failure and must close!

or maybe they want more than 8 players? i mean, i agree it's a bit soon to give up on it all together, but with reserves/apps open and the last one not joining until the beginning of the month and no sign of interest since then (and really, who's going to join a game with 2 of jax's chars?), i sort of get the disappointment. the game looks like it took a lot of work to code/make/think up and they got a few piddles in a pond. i'd be chuffed over that too. i might keep it open longer, try advertising more and pushing for more game stuff, but considering the char types and the lack of general interest... i'm not really surprised.

the game looks like it took a lot of work to code

the game looks like a terrible geocities reject, coding wise.

and to be blunt, dwrpers are so shallow that's probably what kept so many people away. if it ain't shiny people ain't interested, unless it has a very special draw like dragon called did.

> unless it has a very special draw like dragon called did

kind of a poor example since dragon called crashed and burned before it even got its doors open

due to an unexpected mod disappearance, not because people lost interest or didn't app in. from the looks of it, there was going to be plenty of apps.

an unexpected mod disappearance that was due to a tornado, from what i hear

not really a good comparison

what about the other mods? was this thing a one-person show?

it was a constant wank magnet anyway so good riddance, at least halloweentown flew properly under the radar

Re: HALLOWEENTOWN

da

the other mods weren't privy to major plot details and were essentially just helpers.

and it was only a wank magnet because some tryhard anon forced it to be.

i'm not that anon. and it's not defensive to correct objective misinformation.

Re: HALLOWEENTOWN

you're not "correcting misinformation", you're just spouting your opinion

which is fine, just don't call it fact

if you don't think all the dc wank wasn't just one grudgewanker/bored troll, idk what to tell you. that shit was obvious to anyone.

you're so pressed about your failed game failing

tbh everyone I knew who WAS interested quickly lost that interest when they read the monster changes came with forced personality traits.

Re: HALLOWEENTOWN

(Anonymous) 2016-05-24 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. All the monsters in TNBC tend to behave certain ways. It only makes sense that characters would have to change a little to fit those traits.

If they want to be a monster but keep their normal personality they should try their luck in Ryslig. Personality changes are optional there.

dunno if the mods are reading this but they should probably not close, just make some adjustments. have a poll here/there link it and have some ideas on what to change to make it more appealing and if people would want it and ask for fill in the blank replies.

the monster thing is part of it for me and unfortunately again, the people who app to "unique" games tend to be the same crowd i find boring af to play off of but i might've given it a go otherwise. small games can be successful but they have to stay open and maybe have a higher ac count? it might get some people's jimmies rustled but if they commit to staying open and make changes that are more appealing, they'll get people to stick around and survive as a smaller game. most small games with smaller ac don't last over the years BECAUSE they have small ac and everyone treats it as the place they go when bored with their main games and psls.

maybe have a higher ac for now and promise if the game takes off they'll cut it? idk.
