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.

wow the app for this game is pretty cool and i kind of wish it was the norm

even tho part of me is a bit bummed i can't be lazy and just c/p my personality section from another game.

don't mind the app itself being different but i think it's kinda shitty they sprung it on people after instead of before reserves opened considering it's such an atypical one

you're being ridiculous.

ok trace

echoing other anon, this complaint is silly and makes people sound like self-absorbed babies who can't handle the consequences of reserving before an app's up or withdraw a reserve if the app's not something they want to bother with.

Re: THE PINES

the app form went up almost a week before the opening date for apps. that's plenty of time to fill it out and get it posted within the app window.

i don't get why they made another game based on the pines.

i'm a bit too long in the tooth to remember her modding attempts. damn shame with how great a concept wayward pines is for a horror game.

they started advertising the game before any of the actual pages were finished. they had a tdm and reserves opened before the app page was ready. they opened apps before they had a sample app ready, and there are still links on the navigation that lead to under construction pages.

none of that alone would be a big deal (though that when you're opening a game there's no reason not to have everything ready from the moment you first start advertising, since its not like you have a hard deadline). all of that together, in a game run by someone with a history of killing games because she didn't do her modwork, is a pretty big red flag. but hey, i wish you luck. maybe things will be different this time.

good luck to anyone who has the time to waste on this game and decides to go for it but it will be a sinking ship.

[(Anonymous)]

legit question but do we really need sample apps in this day and age? are we as a group unable to work out how to write an application?

[(Anonymous)]

thing is, different games have different ideas of what makes a proper app. it's good to know what they consider a worthy app.

this is why sample apps are a good thing to have. some games like quotes, some like certain formats, some want this or that or whatever thing that would get a revision or rejection in another game. some are cool with gifs or images and if that's in the sample app, then you know. there's plenty of reason for games to have sample apps and i really don't know why op would be against them at all. not like you have to look at them. they're there for people that need an example.

[(Anonymous)]

nah, games don't need sample apps imo. but in this case they indicated there would be some and at the time apps opened there weren't. it's less 'games need sample apps' and more 'yet another thing not done on time'.
