Are roaches draculas

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.

Membership is at 19 players out of the capped 100. There was a steady drop train from past November onward. A lot of the really consistent, outgoing players left en masse when the game didn't turn out like they had hoped, making CR really difficult to keep. New blood isn't really coming in after the mods fumbled some earlier intro rounds. You know it's bad when one of the helper mods drops the only character they play and only remains in a mod capacity.

That said, it's hard not to feel bad for the mods. They mismanaged their game all to heck but they were very gracious about accepting feedback and trying to make their players happy. afaik it's a spite game and those don't tend to last so c'est la vie.

i wouldnt call it a spite game - they seem to genuinely love the concept and hold no ill will to the mods of the game its a successor of - but they definitely were new mods and there's balance as a near direct competitor

https://spellbinders.dreamwidth.org/profile spellbinders, which kiss ran and abandoned pretty early on. the mods played there, were sad to see it go, and set up their own game.

Man I had no idea the Akvos event crippled the game that bad.

Honestly it was really, really hard to get into this game. I apped in when a longer event was going on (the sickness event), and they really should have held off on apps until that event was over. Everyone who came in at that time pretty much had to jump into a plot they only half-understood and it made it hard to really establish characters. And then the event right after that was the underwater one (that was akvos right?) and that plot was also hard to interact with, and because of the structure of that event it was difficult to make CR there too.

After two events in a row that made it difficult to jump into the setting of the game, I just gave up. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people did so for similar reasons.

I'd say that was one of the best things about the modteam - they were extremely open to feedback.
