Chicken tendies

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.

there's no reason to assume the other mods didn't want to help. they're signed up as list mods so they do list work. Mel's mentioned more than once before on plurk that she handles plot responses generally alone, and since it's her game I doubt she's giving anyone else the power or knowledge they need to help.

I think it's pretty fair to run under the assumption that they just don't have any control or say in the events. they can't just jump in without the go-ahead. Maybe with more direct player feedback she'd be willing to consider letting them help more with events in the future? even if that just means with the planning stage of the event so we don't end up stuck with events that the majority of the players aren't happy with.

da

there's also the possibility that they don't want to or have the ability to. as a past list mod for other games myself, i signed up to help with lists and maybe app/mod chatter. not to run npcs or plot, because i'm not good at that. being on the mod team doesn't mean they have the drive or ability to take on all mod duties.

which isn't to say that these mods in particular might not want to or might not be able to. but just because you're part of a mod team doesn't mean you're capable of doing every mod duty needing to be done. and if a mod is as controlling as this one sounds, there's a high chance that 'they'll do it wrong' and either get in shit or have a game-wide retcon when the mod gets back. so it's really easier to err on the side of caution in situations like this.
