rpanons | ゴメンナサイ

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.

it looks to me like the players are fine with the no murder part of the new rule. it's when the mods start throwing around this new "intent" rule when people get confused

this

characters aren't allowed to fight anymore without actively caring about not killing at all points during the fight. if they slip up and lunge at a pc out of anger, they're icly booted from the ship

there's a lot the game dose well and if you want to play space sol and friendship jump right in. but at least until the mods have time to reconsider I wouldn't play anyone morally gray. people are dropping those characters and rolling back canon updates even with heroes now

since there are "cameras everywhere and the captains have ~abilities~ that can judge intent" this is definitely stepping in to thoughtcrime territory

which is really interesting as a horror plot/source of conflict but i'm not sure that's what they intended

i was going to app but i've changed my mind because of this. the irony is that the character i was planning isn't even a villain - he's a hero, but he's also hotheaded and impulsive and while he would never actually kill someone on purpose, he can easily get mad enough to WANT to kill them for a few moments before he calms down. i'd rather not spend my time worrying over whether my character's introspection in tags is going to get him tossed in the hold even if he doesn't actually kill anyone at all.

I would just wait and see how things shake out with this rather than writing it off entirely. I play a hot-headed character and I'm not really worried. I think once things settle, that's not going to be an issue and it's just poor wording.

i could, but there was another game i was also considering and this was sort of the thing that tipped the scale, you know? i'd rather just go for the other game where i know for sure that i don't have to worry about that.

This is really upsetting to see. I don't blame you, anon, if I were deciding, I'd be really tempted to write it off altogether.

For the record, anon, whoever you are, I know I would be excited to have you here. And even if the mods can't be, I'll be sorry for them. This scaring away of potential players over semantics they refuse to clear up is ridiculous.

I keep thinking that it's maybe just a wording issue, too, and that the mods don't really mean it "like that", but at the same time, when people have raised concerns about the implications and pretty much asked upfront if they do in fact mean it like that, we're basically getting a Yes from the mods over and over. In the name of "being firm", of course.

there's "being firm", and then there's being unreasonably stubborn. this is just ridiculous, I'm amazed that the mods thought this would be a good idea.

From what I've read on that post and plurk, they were trying to appease too many people by giving them the specifics that they wanted and it snowballed. They let it get out of their hands and now it's a mess. Another anon said they were taking a step back to let everyone cool down and considering what I've seen that's probably best. Give it some time it's not like apps are even open until next month.

This... wouldn't happen, though. The rule doesn't apply to that situation.
