ゴメンナサイ

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 haven't been on here in 3 years. something reminded me of a character i used to play at Sirens Pull and nostalgia brought me here.

I don't know ANY of the games in the discussion thread! which one is the big new one that everyone is either apping to or hating on? back in my day it was Asgard something. Anyone remember that?

which is the sex game now? What happened to amat omnes?

exsilium? zodion? exit void? :o

it's not new, but ryslig is huge and everyone in it apparently hates it

the sex game is tara or carvanka, I think tara is bigger

wow i went back and read some ryslig threads. i feel kind of bad for the mods except they don't seem to care

if anything, feel bad for the mods that aren't our head mod. many of us suspect they get very little say in what does or doesn't happen in the game.

amat closed, like, yesterday. that's not an exaggeration, it literally closed within the last week.

they were disappointingly unwanky about it, too. boo.

omg. weird coincidence!

you'd think a sex rp would die with a little goodbye wank

exsilium closed up shop because they asked for new mods and literally nobody in the playerbase stepped up

some deets: http://exsiliumooc.dreamwidth.org/649994.html

i'm sure there's more in other wg/rpanons posts around that time but that's when it was announced

no problem! it was fascinating to watch as it went down, because it went from being one of the biggest presences in dwrp to nothing in seconds flat.

it really was, i didn't even play in it but i don't think any game in the history of dwrp has gone from THAT huge and active to completely flatlining in like a week or even less.

nuts.

the only thing i can think of that came close was jumpscares, and that wasn't ever a proper game, just a shiny flakebox that disappeared as abruptly as it popped up. that was another bizarre one, though. for about 2 weeks, half my plurklist couldn't shut up about it, and then after the initial open log it petered out quick and everyone seemed to forget it ever existed.

when most big games close, they may leak players as they move toward a planned endgame and close with more of a whimper than a bang (asgard, luceti), but they still have a core base of players that see it through til the end. exsilium was a unique case in that the closing announcement was so abrupt it seemed to kill everyone's interest in it.

If you're talking personal journals, we just collectively don't really bother with that shit anymore. They might still be actively rping! If you're talking character journals, maybe they moved on to different characters? I'm in totally different fandoms now than I was in three years ago.

Or maybe they're gone.

Exit Void made it most of the way through Gamma phase and even had voted on a Delta phase before widespread player burnout led the mods to close up shop at the end of Gamma
