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.

SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

so snowbos... what do we think of the current event?

[(Anonymous)]

Cool for running into CR my character has never met in person or had reason to talk to, but otherwise I feel like I've been spinning my wheels for about a week now.

[(Anonymous)]

same. cool to run into other people, but it flounders when they have no weapons, no reason to run from anything together or... anything, no hints on puzzles or how to get out. I'm all for cr opportunities but give us something to do with that cr other than "you trapped too?" "Yep."

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

good people to tag for consistent cr?

[(Anonymous)]

this is more mun-based than character-based, in my experience, so i'm giving you those. these are the top ones that are regular taggers who will carry threads through to the end or as long as you're carrying it. you can check the player contact page for who they play

it depends on the characters. just because the player tags around a lot doesn't guarantee the cr will work out. some cr between characters just doesn't go anywhere no matter how active the character might be. tag around and see what works for you.

Any good-looking apps coming in this round?

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

This whole app round is pretty exciting. I'm especially looking forward to Jason, Victor, and Skinny Steve.

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

so was anyone else disappointed with this event?

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

i feel bad because the mods are so friendly and they work really hard, but every time a new tdm goes up i think "i wish some of these prompts would happen in-game, they're so much more fun than what we actually get"

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

I've been feeling that way for a while, too. With the last event especially, it felt like we were trapped in a featureless area for way too long with very little payoff.

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

not really

there could have been more to do and i do get why some people are eh on it but I had a chance to have my character interact with CR that they've never seen face to face + random strangers. last time we hashed things out anon i said i wish we would have more stuff like the dream event where there was an excuse for characters who never interact to interact and lo, it appeared.

plus got an item from my character's canon that i'm going to be able to do a lot with

plus got a major plot reveal about an aspect of the mystery i'm really interested in

da

[(Anonymous)]

CR meeting face to face was great but when you don't have anything to actually work towards achieving with that CR, threads get stale really quickly

what part of the plot were you interested in that got revealed? I feel like this is all sort of stuff we already knew

[(Anonymous)]

very. it would've been easier to stomach if the mods hadn't unnecessarily stretched it out over such a length of time. why bother? was that supposed to make up for the delay? a boring white room is still a boring white room no matter how big it is.

what would have made this very fun though, is if more npc posts had happened. why did the mods set up a blank canvas and then only give paint to a few players? aren't there four mods on the mod team?

[(Anonymous)]

Jumping in to say it seems like a lot of people are missing the point and trying to come up with excuses for why the other mods couldn't/wouldn't help or why the event wasn't elaborate. My main argument is this: We were trapped in featureless white rooms/a maze for nine ooc days. It was boring. There were a million things Mel could have done to keep it hands off and make it not boring. Remember the dream event where significant plot stuff was handled by the mods (or just Mel, I guess?) and the rest of us had carte blanche to play around within a set of rules? She could have easily done something like that.

Basically: If the mods didn't want to help that's fine. If Mel wouldn't let them help, okay, but the event was still boring, especially for being so ridiculously long.

since it's about to be that time again, am I the only one that finds it a little offputting to have old players top leveling to the intro log?

it was one thing when it was just the one guide but last month there was al's guide, frisk's guide, the trading post, and natasha introducing herself. Month before it was al's guide, davesprite introducing himself, and the Joker introducing himself.

i get wanting newbies to get caught up right away but it cuts off CR and isn't very welcoming besides.

[(Anonymous)]

how does that cut cr off? it gives the newbies something to ask about.

literally nobody wants to do that 'I'm new oh god what do I do and has anybody seen my castmates' intro dance. old players tagging into the intro logs and giving newbies something to start with makes for much more interesting threading.

they're also good ways for the players to be aware that these resources exist so I'm not sure why you think this cuts off CR.

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

didn't this start happening because someone was complaining ic and ooc that veteran characters were jaded and unhelpful towards new characters and left them to fend for themselves too much?

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

I realise this probably doesn't make me at all anonymous, but what the hey!

As one of the people who top-levels consistently in the intro logs with a link to one of the guides, the reason I do it is partially so that the link it out there for new people to see, and partially so they can then handwave that their character has seen it and absorbed a bunch of info without having to do the info-dump question asking.

However, I certainly never intended for it to cut CR opportunities off or be unwelcoming, and am open to other suggestions to how to get the link out there to newbies. Do you have any thoughts as to how to maybe make that possible?

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

Should we talk about this on an anon plurk? Or is it just the one person?

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a new player apping in and I'm so excited c: Go go inbox refreeeesh!

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

We're really excited to have you! ♥

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thinking about apping here next round but how much longer is the game going to be around? It has a set ending right?

Re: SNOWBLIND

[(Anonymous)]

we don't have a set end date but going by the timeline given on the info pages, we have between six months to a year left
