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.

lmf those app rejection gifs are pretty brutal

(Anonymous) 2018-04-30 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
i love it, but i also loved gladiator and commodus was my favorite character, so.

i also agree with all the rejections except for the frank, who i have no idea how they got in. that app was terrible.

eh there were more detailed apps for sure but the frank player hit all the beats of his personality and provided examples for those traits and i can't think of a more fitting patron for him. it wasn't as sparse and wishy washy the same way the noctis app was, for example.

it hit the basic formula with connecting traits with examples and evidence. the strengths and weaknesses matched the other sections and they supported each other. it could have been longer and far less surface level but on a formula level for apps, i wouldn't say it was terrible.

as a former mod who did apps, i didn't, if ever, always agree with an interpretation 100% but if they gave solid canon examples and didn't roam off into 90% headcanon territory, i tried to be fair (thread examples are tough to perfectly match all the time too). there was probably a team reviewing so who knows if 2/3 mods thought it was fine and the other one thought it needed revisions. we don't know the behind the scenes

It's kind of weird that they're not giving a breakdown on why apps are rejected. I know they're not obligated to and they've left it open for the players to contact them to ask, but I'm so used to mods doing it that it makes the rejections look really harsh. More like job rejections where you have to ask for feedback to find out where you went wrong.

one of the rejections literally linked a lost carnival app instead of the actual game app so i think that reasoning was pretty obvious. and honestly if you look at the rest they were clearly lacking in depth. the only one i'm not sure about is the noctis, but if they were the wanky dai then drama probably kept them out.

that aside it's absolutely normal for mods to not give a public breakdown and it's been an increasing trend to do it like this, not sure how you missed it.

i'm beyond glad the noctis was declined, the player is awful

(Anonymous) 2018-04-30 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
the noctis one surprised me too, but when i looked at the app, it did make sense. that personality was super sparse. most apps had at least a paragraph per personality trait, rather than just... a sentence or two. not sure why they didn't ask for revisions on it though instead, but my guess is they judge the personality section most heavily.

no idea about dai drama tho. i don't think that was involved, but i could be wrong.

the patron reason seemed flimsy too, and the driving force looked wishy-washy and indecisive. maybe there was too much to fix?

ayrt

(Anonymous) 2018-04-30 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
you're right, that patron reasoning is so vague, i'm not even sure what they were trying to say. and noctis picking a different one is pretty irrelevant since that's not how it works. really looking at it again, i agree that there was just too much to fix.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-30 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
one app listed a character being an immigrant as a weakness which was a massive red flag to me tbh

(Anonymous) 2018-04-30 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
people being racist to the character is not a weakness of that character like wtf

(Anonymous) 2018-05-01 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
The one linking to Lost Carnival is mine. I'm fine with the rejection - I just wanted to try a new game. Sorry for the confusion!

(Anonymous) 2018-04-30 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
the commodus gifs are making me wish i apped even though i have no time for a game.
