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.

I think the reason people are having trouble remembering the horror aspect is because, toward the end, the mods just gave up on it. The metaplot started off very strong and escalated to insane levels where they had about four or five opportunities to go into endgame years before they finally did, but they just got burned out or lazy or both and let it putter off into SOL. It didn't help that a huge chunk of the playerbase was trying their hardest to ignore the horror part of the game too.

In the end Mayfield got its endgame but it was a rushed, soulless one made all the more insulting by how much effort had been put into the world building before. So many lessons can be learned on how not to run a game from it.

the endgame was flat and not very engaging or entertaining, but i still felt they kept pretty consistently on theme, even towards the end. lazily so, but still on theme.

besides, the anon arguing it was an SOL game wasn't even around for endgame.
