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.

looks like we're getting another mod change in a few months. hope there are people who step up.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-16 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
i'm thinking about stepping up, or at least offering. but i'm not sure how helpful i would be seeing i'm a busy bee half the time.

I'm planning to, anon. I have a lot of ideas to play with the setting.

Not in the game anymore but when I heard wind of this I hoped for the same. Looks like there's some interest so that's good. I'd hate for the game to go down because it couldn't survive leadership transition.

Good luck!

i hope the people who do step up actually have some business modding this game, which is not to imply that our current mods don't but there are definitely people in the game who should not be mods

(Anonymous) 2016-06-18 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
do you see them saying they're the ones who want to step up, anon? that seems a little paranoid. agreed, though. is there anyone you think who would be a good mod?

(Anonymous) 2016-06-18 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
nobody's immediately jumping out at me, but i feel like GG would be pretty good at modding if she wanted to. i think she has some experience? i don't know, and i'm not really trying to sow anything here. i'm having too much fun in the game to be too concerned with who ends up in the mod positions at the end of things.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-26 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
gg is like borderline retarded though? i know it's a sex game but she couldn't be ic or differentiate character voice if her life depended on it. she has this people pleaser, impossible to be critical or negative about anything attitude about everything that also turns into a "her way or no way" attitude about her beliefs, even if canon contradicts what she thinks. she also has a hard time differentiating head canon from canon.

anon. that doesn't make any fucking sense.

you can't be a doormat and a spikebelt. you're one or the other.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-27 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
You can be both depending on who you're trying to please or manipulate. You can be one thing publicly and another hidden on plurk or private venues.

No argument on being dumb, Ooc and unable to separate canon from headcanon, I see.

no argument on the other stuff because i have no opinion on the player and don't think i've done more than maybe a handful of short threads with them. i was just floored at how stupid that statement was.

I know for a fact that she was pretty much single-handedly starting all The Evil Within wank about how important Joseph was and how Sebastian was clearly canon bi/gay even before DLC was around. You can catch her downplaying the importance of canon het relationships and confusing her pet ships for canon all over her fandoms. I'm not against Seb being bi but there was nothing at all in the game especially pre-DLC that indicated a closeness to Joseph (especially when it was mentioned they had a falling out and he treated him more like a burden for most of the game) and was still wearing his wedding ring.

I really wanted to discuss all of the symbolism and intent and everything, but she would curb every discussion to Joseph and how important he was. I know she does this in other fandoms she's involved in too since I've had her added for a long time and would see her say things in her own plurks and mutuals that would be word-for-word the wank in those fandoms and it would always be about shipping and not even opinion but treating every immature and childish conclusion she came to as literal fact. I agree with her inability to grasp canon and context clues and to play down or up things to suit her needs which is usually shipping. It's more that she treats it as canon fact than she has certain headcanons or ships this or that for me. I personally hold moderators to a higher standard or at least average standard in play style and ability to comprehend the canons they play from.

Most of the characters she plays feel off to me and I don't know how to describe it other than "boring" and like all of her characters could be the same if you changed the icons. That combined with how vindictive and catty she is under anon when people disagree with her make for a problem mod, especially in a game that's geared toward shipping and sex. People tend to be more dumb about ships and smut and wanky when they don't get what they like and I don't think I could trust her to be objective in judging apps or cutting people AC and hiatus slack or to not abuse the power. I'm not really sure who I'd want on the mod team because I think anyone I could see as a mod probably wouldn't have the time or drive for it.

this is so funny to me because i actually know who it was starting all of that wank because i'm friends with them and was talking to them on aim in realtime as it was happening, and it wasn't gg. the person in question doesn't play from TEW anymore, which is why you don't see that wank popping up anymore on the very rare occasion that TEW threads happen in this comm.

i can't really speak to the rest of your criticism of gg because i don't know her that well, but i do know for a fact that it was not her who started or stoked that firestorm. she might agree with what was said during that wank or whatever, but she didn't post it.

wait, seriously? please tell me what this person was saying to you during this. i'm dying to know what was going through the head of that nutcase who started that shit.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-27 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
it was nothing too exciting. they just sent me what they said and what was happening. they were amazed that so many people were so upset, because they didn't think that enough people even liked the game enough to care that much. they also admitted that their posts were worded kind of histrionically but figured it was too late to do damage control, so they just let the trolls spin themselves out. i wasn't really sure what to tell them because i'm not canon familiar, so i just let them vent at me.

i'm sorry, anon. i wish i had juicier deets for you.

it's possible. i have no idea if they stopped rping from the canon because of this whole debacle or if it was something else (shiny syndrome maybe), but from what i understand the fandom's not that big in the first place.

Really? I remember seeing GG in a mutual's plurk going on and on about the ship even as the mutual said they didn't ship it (or m/m usually. She didn't shut up and then started to post ship art, some of which was explicit without warning even as everyone ignored her. The mutual was clearly very uncomfortable. I saw her do it a few times to this person but this one time really stood out as embarrassingly cringeworthy and unaware of boundaries and no respect for someone else. I never had her added so I don't know how common this is and that's the only person I know who was her mutual but whenever she'd comment she'd say something really dumb and seemed to be incapable of understanding cues and subtleties and whatnot in canon and online. She gives me really bad second hand embarrassment.

(sorry i have this thread tracked.)

like i said, she could very well have agreed with everything that that person was saying and been obnoxious about it on plurk, but i'm sorry, anon, she wasn't the poster of it here on rpanons. she just wasn't. she could've even been friends with my friend who started that debacle back when it happened too for all i know, but i just checked and they don't have her added (anymore?).

besides, didn't this game come out like three years ago or something? this seems like a silly thing to try to pin on someone for so long. if there's a good, solid reason for gg not to be mod of this game, i would very much like to know because i'm in it. i want someone to step up and take modship because i don't want to see carv end, but a person being obnoxious about a ship three years ago doesn't pass my litmus test, especially since any theories about her being an ass about it all over rpanons don't hold water.

monty's mun? i don't think she wanted to mod last time the opportunity came around, though. still probably would make a good story/plot mod.
