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.

the mods separated the characters into groups hoping it would encourage people to foster new CR, but most players seem to have had a hard time with this

a lot of players who were already in the game before the latest app round already knew exactly who they wanted to thread with and seem to have opted to not even play at all until the groups are reunited rather than work within the selection of characters theirs were put with

which is about as hard as the mods’ intention could have possibly backfired

i heard it was cliquey and unfriendly there but damn

As a new person I did manage to get some good threads in and I overall feel okay about the event and game.

I do think it went on a little long though, especially with there also being no network.

with the addendum that it's hard to blame that on the mods when some players put in zero effort to tag new people or get involved with the new setting. the amount of people i saw going "weh i can't tag my CR" for two weeks was astounding. that shouldn't be blamed on the mods, who tried something new and had a bunch of babies cry about it.

imo i really liked the group aspect of it, it made me tag new people and get out of my comfort zone. my only "complaint" was that if they use this mechanic again, to wait until a phase two so that new people can tag the entire game, not just 25-30% of it on their first big game log. but i like my new CR and i'm excited to build on it in the next phase of the event.

A lot of the new people in my group ended up dropping right away, which was pretty sad to watch. I'm not sure what the exact cause was, we'd have to ask them, but I can't imagine being sectioned off from most of the game helped them establish a comfortable starting point for themselves.
