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.

Always keep in contact OOCly is actually the main thing you can do. Try to make sure the stuff your character "just knows" or figures out is done in a way that it's fun for you and the other player, because obviously if someone has been plotting something for a while, it's dickish to walk in and say your character figured everything out already.

I personally would avoid using the network as a collective source of information unless plotted out with the players involved. No, it's not technically infomodding, but people don't expect someone else to be constantly looking at their posts to track their characters. This used to be more common in the past and was why the whole "private/locked 50%" trend used to be more of a thing. And while this is just my personal experience: everyone I know who does this with their character is usually kind of an asshole about it (ie will insist it's okay for their character to infomod a conversation had on the network between two unrelated characters ten months ago that they read and still remember for some reason because it was public), and I find it pretty off-putting.

Also, this is something that generally helps me, but trying to keep their knowledge to things you can make a logical connection to helps a lot in making other players more comfortable. I play a character who is so smart, there is no explanation for how he figures things out, but I do so in RP because it's more fun to play that way. Save the hyper-perceptiveness for specific scenes where it'd be fun to utilize, or would help the thread/cr progress in a certain way. And don't be afraid to give them blindspots if that, too, would be more fun.

Basically my whole point here is: utilize their intelligence in a way that makes things fun to play, not just to prove your character is smart.
