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.

in this situation rn and have been in the past. i always stick around for another month just to see if anything interesting comes up but if things are still looking dull, you have your answer. sometimes nothing comes of it, but i've also had awesome and unexpected things happen in a month's time. good luck anon

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah that's what i was thinking of doing. i have another game in mind as well that's on an app cycle and that should give me enough of a grace period to test the waters before i make up my mind on what i want to do

just wanted to make sure it wasn't considered stringing people along or anything! good luck to u too

if there's an english equivalent language there can also be a spanish-like language. i understand where you're coming from but i also understand that it's kind of stupid to get this worked up about it when this is literally the least harmful headcanon a person can have.

i barely know this person i just think this is so stupid and only brought up because you don't like them, not because of lore purity.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
considering you've admitted that you don't know star wars you really shouldn't be talking about lore purity.

fyi, they speak english in the movies because they're american movies and back when the original trilogy came out, george lucas wasn't going to be able to make a movie that was subtitled with actors speaking some made up language. he wasn't peter jackson with the lotr budget.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
you're not gonna let this go, are you?

okay i'll bite too. hint: the characters in star wars are speaking galactic basic, not english. the reason the actors are speaking english is the same reason dubbed anime characters do. this isn't difficult. there is no space spain.

I decided to go with this one; you're an amazing anon, thank you so much for the suggestions!

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
it's one of era's friends. bet's on lynn. lynn will hang onto stuff like this forever until you cave and admit that you're wrong. whether you're actually wrong or not. no one who "barely knows this person" would fight so much about it like this.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
sigh. nobody is saying they are speaking space spanish, they are saying it's pretty reasonable that spanish could be used as a placeholder for whatever other actual space language the same way that english is a placeholder for galactic basic

this really isn't that hard if you aren't blinded by your own hateboner

uh huh. i'm sure you're just standing up for the little guy and not defending the honor of m'lady of uwu representation uwu.

fuck off, go lick her clit directly and stop spouting this bullshit. between chinese river tam and the space spaniard, era has shown herself as worthy of all mockery, and that's not even getting into the shit she posts on plurk.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
sure "da"

fuck off with this devil's advocate shit. she's doing this for magical representation points you chode, and if she wants to make the completely unsupported headcanon that this guy speaks some other space language, she can, gasp, make up a language.

Re: ITT CROSSCANON CHARACTERS YOU WANT TO TAG WITH

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing specific but I'm always happy to see characters from historical canons (even those I'm not familiar with). If I don't tag them it's usually because I don't have time for a new thread or a good enough idea for a starter.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
i always drop immediately because i hate feeling like i'm idling/squatting. i should probably chill and give it a chance but it gives me anxiety to just sit in a game doing nothing and making no effort at all.

right because coming up with conlang is something you can just do off the cuff and oh you know what fuck this, this has become officially more boring than work and i give up. you get points for chode and i hope you have a nice day

eh that's still more treehouse's fault then it is NoA. Treehouse was never a really good translation team but more of an overglorfied post translation localization thing. Part of why a lot of things got suddenly toned down and or removed when they went full translation and did piss poor work and stoped talking to Nintendo of Japan to verify their work.

Hence why Nintendo of Japan and Atlus are still pissed over Treehouse demanding the cutting out the hot spring scene in Tokyo Mirage Session for no reason.

Hopefully with some of the firings and removal of pedophiles they will go back to actual localization and not regressive liberalization

1a. Yes, assuming that my character would have some impact on the cast (for instance, if I app a major antagonist or a protagonist with close ties to some members of the cast). In general, I like knowing what I app into, but it's not a must unless my character has to interact with certain castmates to remain IC.
1b. Don't care.
1c. Maybe checking to see if there's any ongoing drama on anoncomms about the game or cast. I take these things with a grain of salt, though.

2a. I tend to leave a little note if I'm testdriving several characters on the same meme.
2b. Shrug and keep on keeping on. App plans can change at a moment's notice, both theirs and mine, and there's no use crying over milk that hasn't even been spilled yet. I do tend to read a thread or two of theirs, just to see where they're at characterisation-wise (but that's more to do with me liking to read other people's portrayals of the same character).
2c. Same as 2b.

3a. Unless it's a weirdly condescending message, I'd just return the favour.
3b. Assuming I really want to app that character, I'd let them know I'm serious about it, in a nice-and-excited sort of way.
3c. I'd let them know how super excited I am about playing this character in this particular game. Honestly, there's no winning this one, and I'm going to app whoever I want.
3d. Honest. Excitement. In their face. Unless they're unavoidable castmates, in which case I'd probably back down, because there's no winning that one. If something about the messages strikes me as seriously unpleasant/unwelcoming/ugh, I might let the mods know about it (that goes for b and c as well). It's a last resort type thing, though.
3e. Pastebin/screencap that shit, so I can take it to the mods if they a) are already a player in the game or b) app in at some point in the future and try to stir up shit again in the future. One moment of bitching isn't enough for that, I don't plan to react in any way at all, really, but if push comes to shove, it's good to have some deets.
3f. Same as above: gather the deets, don't react at all otherwise.

4a. I'd message them if they're planning to app someone who is either very close or very opposed to my character, just because it's nice to be on the same page. I don't expect them to reach out first, though.
4b. Don't care and won't hold it against them.
4c. Depends on their history, I'm going with the default "nutjobs, rl abusers, toxic waste" to the mods, "pretentious and flakey and a bit daft" into the idagaf corner.

that was a different anon. i actually know star wars to some extent.

even if george lucas did have a lotr budget for the original trilogy, the main language of the universe would still have been in english because the alien languages used in star wars are essentially gibberish. but even a quick google search shows that the gibberish alien languages are still based off real languages for how they sound, like quechuan, haya, and tibetan. so a spanish-sounding language in the star wars universe is not an impossibility.

1A. Most likely not, unless it's a character with a very delicate situation.
1B. who cares
1C. Some times I make a d-p post, yeah. and sure will ask questions if i have them.

2A. Not on the tag itself but in plurk I've told "just to fool around".
2B. don't care
2C. don't care

3A. Wish them luck too
3B. Tell them the truth
3C. Tell them they don't get to tell me that and give the mods a heads-up
3D. Same answers
3E. In what way? Toxic talk in plurk goes to the mods. Anon talk gets ignored.
3F. same

4A. I don't
4B. I have nothing to react too? Bad luck if I liked the other better but that's it
4C. What kind of wanker? dumb kids can be ignored in plurk. Big dipshits get reported to the mods.

a language that sounds like another doesn't mean that they're similar or use the same words. cassian should not be able to speak with sombra or any of the other spanish speaking characters in spanish. they come from earth. they speak spanish. cassian does not. however you want to try to excuse it, the languages aren't the same and him speaking it isn't canon. so either she's doing it for representation points, to shove her way into cr with spanish speaking characters, or because she has no ic/ooc divide and is trying to practice the spanish that she's taking in real life with a character who doesn't speak it.

doesn't know dick about star wars anon

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
oh

see

that's different, i didn't know what thread we were talking about and thought cassian just swore in spanish or something, i didn't realize he was actually having a conversation with someone from earth in spanish

that's ridic and changes everything, carry on
