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.

Look, l o o k. Speedy does what Speedy want. Even if it's fucking stupid and goes against how literally anything works.

At... Least his legacy lives on like the best bro that he is. Since Lord knows SPW bailed everyone out of a lot of shit.

This must be what powers his white hot abs.

Except Polnareff in part five, apparently???? But I guess in a way that weird exceptions are also part of the Speedweed legacy.

this is when i wish we had fandom communities like the olden days of lj. i don't want to shit on their parade, but anon comms are not the place to chit chat like that for more than a couple comments. i think people maybe forget they can take it to private or that maybe people can still make fandom places.

please make a fandom space. i want you to enjoy yourselves and have fun. i also just selfishly don't want to have to see it so often.

that's exactly what the CANON DISCUSSION thread is for. people chat about their canons all the fucking time.

To the anon below, nah, I'm just gonna sweep this over to pms.

And sorry to the other anons for being a bother! I don't hang around on anon comms exceptionally often and never use flatview myself, so I wasn't aware there was an etiquette cutoff on the chatter. Won't happen again.

(it really does make you miss the fandom comms though, da is absolutely right.)

i mean, to be honest, there's no reason that you or someone else couldn't make a jjba community and have your fun there. there's nothing stopping anyone from making fandom places. people just call them failures when folks don't flock to it. we're not like we were 10 years ago where everything was ~so active all the time. as long as a few people use it, it's doing what it's intended to do. giving people a place to have fun and talk about things they like.

maybe if more people do little fandom communities, they'll get popular. people are shifting over from tumblr. lj's poop. i genuinely wish more people would expand on what's available here.

Why would someone not in their fandom make them a fandom comm

(frozen comment)

(Anonymous) 2019-08-21 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
they're talking about fandom comms in general.

instead of demanding others make them, they could just make one themselves and see how well it does. seeing someone else's success might inspire others. either way, sitting around and crapping on other folks fun and demanding they make a comm is the laziest and most annoying approach to the problem.

if i was heavily into any one fandom, i would. but i'm not, so it's not a valid suggestion for me. and please actually read what i wrote and don't try to say that any of what i suggested was anything more than just that, a suggestion. i didn't demand anything. i made a wistful observation on what would be nice and suggested that if people want to do it, i wish they would.

step off the throttle, anon. i tried as much as i could to articulate that i wasn't trying to shit on their fun and that i want them to keep having fun and made a suggestion of how that could happen.

(frozen comment) Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2019-08-21 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
you want them to keep having their fun

just in a place where you don't have to see it

because your annoyance was so great you just had to comment on an entirely innocuous thread only a few comments long.

gotcha.

i'm actually not the first person that commented like that, so chill your wrath. i just agreed. there were at least two other people that commented before me.

anon you can backpedal as much as you want, but just because you realized you were being kind of a dick doesn't mean anyone is going to buy this "WELL ACTUALLY I'M SUPER NICE AND ONE THEM TO HAVE FUN" act.

like your initial comment wasn't even that bad, it's bending over backwards like this to make it "nice, actually" is what's drawing attention.

i'm not doing any such thing, but i'm also not going to argue with your opinion because you seem to want to be mad, so be mad. i do want them to have fun. *i* want to have fun. and right now, i'm betting this particular flatview convo is pissing others off. so other than possibly to reply to the logged in party, i'll be stepping back now because you think it's just one person replying and you want to be snarky just to be snarky because you're anon and maybe you've had a bad day and you're venting.

as the original anon who asked them to take it PMs: calm your roll. it was annoying af on flatview. nobody had to weigh in, the jja players agreed to take it off meme, let's all move on and go back to talking about rping.

I do as well, although I wonder how many people are in the same situation as me in that they've got no experience in doing anything that maintaining a comm would require - layouts, proper rules, etc - and that coupled with us all collectively slowing down is why even little cozy comms aren't making a resurgence.

that's actually a lot of the problem right now too. mods of games are tired of being mods of games now, but that sort of extends to mods in general. you should see the report page for wg and rpa and bakerstreet. (not that you can see rpa since it's screened, but i can only imagine) some of it is so goshdarn petty, and some of it is valid. you need either one very dedicated person that can jump on situations as they occur, (though i would think it would happen less often if it's for logged in people and not anons), or a team who are willing to share responsibilities.

i know it's not just as easy as throwing up a comm (but it used to be dear god i almost miss lj), so i think it would have to be an interest check and agreement on who would run what for any comm, unless someone felt like being ballsy enough to do it alone. at first, anyway. idk. i wish it wasn't so complicated, but considering how petty and vindictive and just flat out rude people can be, there needs to be a mod.

Oh, absolutely. Even in spaces where people have a name/account attached things can get so ugly if there's not some kind of regulation - just look at some of the twitter spats that get linked here sometimes. Fandoms can stir people up, and modding can burn you out pretty quickly - especially when you see all the horror stories before even starting.

Given how slow a fandom comm on here would be, though, I can't imagine it wouldn't be too too terrible if you had at least two people keeping an eye on things with timezone coverage and such. Almost makes me want to consider it given that this is a pretty good time to start up a Jojos one...although on the other hand it's kind of terrifying all the same rofl.

Popping back up to say I wouldn't mind helping in that kind of endeavor if need be. Since lord knows we could use one with how this fandom can get overwhelming for those not in it.

hey, if you do it, link it here. i'd love to see something like that take off (and you could possibly ask for help with it and find a co-parent to herd your cats) and i really, really hope it would lead to more fandom stuff here. it worked on lj. there's no feasible reason it can't work here. we just need people who are willing to try.

no shade or anything if you don't (it's not on you to do anything), but if you do wind up giving it a shot, i wish you luck.

omfg shut up

you're just complaining because they're logged in. many times we've had conversations about canons get long threads (in fact the FE thread right now is longer than this one, which half of it is you complaining about it), that's what the canon discussion thread is for. how dare they use it for its purpose

Which can totally melt ice.

Part five was a weird exception in general, evidently. Too Italian, not going there. My stupid theory is Italy is too strong for the likes of SPW
