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.

Chaos;Head/Chaos;Child Game Idea

(Anonymous) 2017-03-02 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I've been into Chaos;Head and it's thematic sequel once I watched the latter's anime adaption, so hear me out on this idea.

If you don't know, both of these Science Adventure games centered around teens with special abilities based on delusions and can summon some strange organic-like swords called Di-Swords. They also solve bizarre serial killings in Shibuya.

Basically, it's a jamjar panfandom where characters are sent into a Shibuya-like city by an unknown Gigalomaniac/being where they not only experience delusions but also crazy and messed up incidents that can traumatize them a lot. However, the player characters become Gigalomaniacs and if they encounter something traumatizing, they can manifest their own Di-Swords and use their real-booting abilities, which is another way to say an ability to project their delusions aka making them real.

That's all I can come up with and since I have no experience on modding a game before, I wonder if someone might try to bring this to life.

Regardless, tell me what you think about this game idea if it should be a short or long-term game and if you're interested in it.

i don't recommend any milanoo site in general, here's a list:

i've always had costumes made that i couldn't make myself through networks of friends through social media, using facebook to join local/regional cosplay groups is a start since people advertise themselves and often these groups are self regulating enough to weed out any scammers. usually these local groups can help arrange a taobao order, which cuts out the shifty stock image-y type sites and can get you the costume you want for cheaper.

My searches have only found paladin and Allura icons from s2, so I figured I'd ask here: anyone know of a place that's done icons of the Galra from s2?

I understand your point, although I'm not buying all of your explanations since you also said they make more money than you. That indicates that you feel they don't have an excuse for not sending you a present. You very much seem to be thinking this in terms of money, even if the lack of gushing plays a part, too.

Gift-giving is a slippery slope between friends. It's too easy to get into a cycle where you start spending more and more each year. Even if you're both in the position to give $60 gifts, it doesn't mean you should.

if it doesn't inform their personality or abilities in a practical way, then fucking no.

take that shit back to game theory.

the aesthetic in this game is nuts. you're gonna have a blast.

to both you and the above anon :( that really fucking sucks. i'm sorry. if people wouldn't mind dropping which games they took, that'd save some other folks trouble! i don't mind if you grab a handful or whatever just drop a note here.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-02 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
sometimes i get really anxious about mailing packages for absolutely no reason or i feel too apathetic to actually go out and ship something so it never gets sent, then i remember it/see the item laying around and i feel even worse about it so i avoid the problem even more.

this is exactly what happens to me, almost every time, without fail. i agreed to a thing like a year ago now and i couldnt locate the item in question when i made the agreement, several months later i found it and i just... do they even want it any more... it's just a 10 dollar toy, they probably bought it for themselves by now and sending something like that a year late is basically an insult at this point

protip: keep playing it for all the ridiculous endings there's a ton of them and they are all worth it!

(Anonymous) 2017-03-02 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
would it add something interesting or fun to threads with rp partners?

if yes, then sure, providing everyone's on the same page about the mechanics

if not, then no. nobody's going to mob you for not recording the exp points your character earned after a fight or something

for me, the hard part is that what i want to tell them is "let's not rp anymore," i don't want "better", i don't want to issue an ultimatum, i don't want apologies, i don't want them to say they'll try be less flaky, i'm just... tired and would like to stop. "don't tag me anymore and i don't want to play with you" is something relatively easy to say to strangers on the internet, but seems kind of..... shitty/like i'm fishing for apologies when it's directed toward people you actually know

(Anonymous) 2017-03-02 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
for a moment i was concerned this was about me but then i remembered that i did send an xmas gift to my gift-exchange rp partner... whew. i've been having a harder time finding good stuff for them lately, so i haven't been sending quite as many things to them as i used to.

gift exchanges between friends can be fraught with this kind of stuff. if i were you, i'd try to get over this specific instance-- tell yourself a story where everyone is painted in their most flattering, least malicious light. your friend meant to get you a gift and it was lost in the mail, your friend was going to get your a gift but it slipped their mind, and they feel really guilty and didn't mean to lie to you, your friend just isn't doing gifts this year and forgot they told you otherwise. whenever it comes to mind, think "that kind of sucks, but i'm sure they didn't mean to hurt my feelings."

then send your friend a nice card + something small for their next birthday or whatever and call it a day. spend no more than 5-10 bucks max on it. how they respond will determine what kind of gift-giving you're doing.

(ordinarily i'd say be direct and just hash out a sense of where they stand on gift giving/where you want to stand on gift-giving, but since you're still kind of sore about the lack of an xmas gift and don't want to make it weird and accusatory in a "you didn't give me a present" kind of way, i'd hold off on that for now)

i love mindfuck and all things related to it so i am so hooked by this idea.

personally i like short-term games a bit better but something like this could work as a long-term as well.

anon, you gotta do you but if I were your friend I would hear you and understand that a lot better than being ignored.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-02 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
i wanna be lenient w this player's writing cause theyre ESL but i literally have no idea what their last tag just said. i cant even parse it.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-03 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
You're not being unreasonable here. If your friend is slogging through threads and dropping, then you have a right to call it quits. This is a hobby and it's supposed to be fun. When it stops being fun--either because your partner is now lackluster or for other reasons--then it's okay to say so and move on. If you're both mature, your friendship will survive the loss of RP.

I'm in a similar boat to you and have been considering the idea of suggesting we start wrapping up our PSLs. My only hesitation is that I do like RPing the character I play and it's a complete headache to find another player in this fandom who shares my interest in this ship. I'm also trying to be patient to see if it really was just work ruining her life for a while or if that was just the excuse I suspect it to be.

Good luck to you, anon.

Two dollars or two hundred dollars. What about common courtesy? And it's silly to act like money doesn't matter. It does. It's not like OP would have just set that 60 bucks on fire if the option of buying gifts hadn't been there.

OP, your friend should have at the very least said thank you for the gift, even if they didn't like it. You put thought, effort, time and funds into doing something kind for them, that's plenty worthy of a thank you.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-03 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised at how many people in this thread seem to have no manners. Or maybe they just haven't found themselves in this situation and they really do think it's JUST a matter of money.

It's natural to want to know that someone was pleased with a gift you gave them. You don't typically give gifts with the aim of having that gift be disliked, unappreciated or unacknowledged. That would be stupid.
