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.

Bonus Activity Reward Incentives

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thinking of starting a pretty standard city game with some monster-fighting and low-key exploring mechanics, mostly because it's the type of game I wanna play in right now and it'd be pretty low upkeep. No heavy plot, but options to be more or less SOL as you choose.

My main question is this. I would like to offer rewards ICly and/or OOCly for players who want to submit threads to be converted into points that can be used as 'currency.'

What kind of incentives would you, as a player, be interested in cashing in your hard-earned activity points for?

I always tend to view activity rewards as something that would be useful for the character in the game, so try and gear towards that. For example - transportation. If you have exploring mechanics, ways of getting there could be useful.

Thanks for the suggestion! I had planned for the fighting and exploring aspects to provide an outlet for characters who wouldn't be able to hold down 'normal' jobs in a city (to provide an alternative for the the typical "my battle-hardened war general character is opening a cute bakery/I guess my fighter could be a bouncer???" problem that can happen in city/SOL games) and for players who need more than SOL but can't commit to one of the awesome plot-heavy games out there.

Would something like special gear (tech, weapons) or special assignments or missions be along the line of what you're thinking?

Something I could use to make more threads with. Transportation to a certain area for one person would be okay, but I'd rather have transportation for two because it's easier to turn that into a log. A spooky foreshadowing dream's good, but a random foreshadowing encounter's better because 'attacked by a robot' is more interesting than 'weird dream from bad cooking maybe?'

I like the special assignments/missions idea you had there. It doesn't have to be unique to my character, but it gives me something to be active with.

Things from back home that characters weren't able to take with them. Like vehicles, items they didn't have on their person at the time, even buildings like houses or favorite hangouts.
