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 it's going through a slower shift but there's still a lot of activity and a lot of characters. I'm more concerned about the mod changes, in that I'm not sure if there are enough people applying for head mod positions. It's understandable to not want to. I sure didn't because I don't have the capacity but it would really suck if the game shuts down because of that.

Here is hoping that with the apps going bi-monthly that it encourages people to app for mods and prompt/writing mods because the workload is less in the long run. And they need the help.

It's going to make things worse. People like to app when they want, not wait a month for it. A month is a long time in RP and goes with that idea of slow-burn never getting to the point of being on fire because it took so long to get there, or would have.

What they need to do is have apps open for at least a week if not two, post the Cr meme either after new apps or at the end of the month for the next one, post the tdm at a normal time so it didn't die randomly before the app scuffle starts. Look how backwards it is compared to literally every other game. Is not even just flakes and shiny chasers that will lose interest in apping. I'm a long term Empath player and this is making me figure I should app who I've been planning to add to another game now. Between this, the mods being more active in other games (with the same people they were here) and their drops along with this months AC results with that extremely long strike list shows why they new player and character apps have been dwindling and that my app will likely be a waste of time for me since I didn't make it this month I'll have to go next etc.

There are a lot of things that are being held onto for the sake of "we've been running it this way for so long that we're not changing it" that the things they are planning to change make no sense in the long run. The timing of the way things are set up really are choking the player base sense of time and what they feel they have time to play with. Especially because of the scheduling and tags not counting for AC.

TDM always on the same date is the worst. This month it's on a Sunday. Couldn't bump it to a Friday? Would it be that hard?

Probably. It takes them days to link it on RPA and sometimes a week or more to sticky it.

Do you really care that much if they post it to RPA or early for the tdm wow you need to relax

it's a tdm. it's not actually necessary to the game. this reliance and entitlement towards what used to be something not all games did is ridiculous. it's not for people in the game (or it shouldn't be). it's to entice new players. if you're already in the game, you know what it's like and you don't need to test drive, other than possibly if you're unsure about a new char to bring in if they'd fit with certain mechanics. but you, a player already in game, would know better than someone new.

i'm almost at the point where i wish games would stop using tdms.

Why not link the TDM on RPA yourself if it really bothers you that much? There's nothing in the rules anywhere that says it has to come from the mod account or that it has to be within the same day of it going up.
