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.

these are great ideas and i think would work great for a small, tightly-knit plot-driven game, especially where characterization can be held to a high standard and reward players for actually paying attention.

in so far as a chill sol sandbox game, i think the hmd aspects and mod stringency rules would also work well, but i feel like the characterization strictness (especially with headcanon) would go against the spirit of a chill sol game where duplicates and fandom ocs and things like that would be allowed. i'd want a game where players could experiment in, play any weird aus, minor characters, or ocs to their hearts content, but not get scrutinized or kicked out by draconian measures in the name of that experimentation. the stress of "performing" has causes a huge amount of stagnation around here. creativity is stifled. games are same-y. mods are burned out. players don't have any real places to play new characters they are still figuring them out. players who are burned out with old characters don't have any real places to do new things with them outside the boundaries of established canon or the rare game that accepts aus or whatever. the freedom to play in a game without having to deal with wankers or shitty personalities however is a baseline expectation i think should be in any game.

in the hypothetical sol sandbox game i'm desiring, hmd could and should still be present, but perhaps encourage more focus on rooting out (harmful) ooc behavior.

tldr i'm actually okay with a sol sandbox game being "low standard" with characters. i think we should have more avenues for that, tbh, or at least try to change dwrp's attitudes about what arbitrary standards a character should be meeting to be "played" at the expense of creativity that could be done with a less restrained character. i've had the most fun in these games because i was not worrying so much about the characterization and was able to write more fun, engaging storylines with them. but yes all these ideas you outlined go hand in hand with keeping a high standard about ooc behavior, which i think should be more universal. i think you're on to something especially with the mandatory hmds and mods having final say on who stays and goes.
