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.

i mean "over three" is not a big number, and would be mitigated by tagging out more, but it's probably worthwhile to give more detailed help in this case.

lol

oof

[(Anonymous)]

idk if the responses are saying "over three" not being a big number is oof worthy or not.

because it's not.

[(Anonymous)]

the fact that anon completely missed the point is the oof moment

this is a brand new person to dwrp and they've tried to be outgoing and start threads only for them to go nowhere 3 times in a row

if you don't think that's offputting to a brand new member, extra lol. this is why we're dying

can we please stop normalizing the false enthusiasm + ghosting bullshit? any one of those other players could have said no thank you at any point. instead, they let another player believe they were interested, had them write a starter, then left them wondering what they did wrong. frankly, it shouldn't have happened once.

... uh, have you guys forgotten that there's a global crisis going on right now? this is a very stressful time for a lot of people irl. i have otherwise reliable rp partners who have been leaving me hanging for a week or more at a time because they just don't have consistent mental energy for creativity right now. you would think that a lot of free time would translate to a lot of tagging but that isn't always the case.

[(Anonymous)]

how do you know your partner doesn't have consistent mental energy for creativity? because they let you know, right?

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't take a lot of creativity or time to send someone a message saying exactly that. Ghosting someone is rude and the constant excuses for flaking are getting old. Once this shit is over you'll just have a new excuse for the flakes.

[(Anonymous)]

and that's why people didn't just go immediately to "tag out more".

but "tag out more", when the number is that low, is still viable advice. chill out. it's also not cool to inundate new people with "DWRP HAS A HUGE FLAKE PROBLEM" because that's not gonna make them want to stick it out, either.

[(Anonymous)]

but it does

[(Anonymous)]

it was already obvious to op that dw has a huge flake problem. at least now they know they're not the cause of it.

"if you don't think that's offputting to a brand new member"

New or old member, it's just as offputting. You make it sound like ghosting shouldn't matter to someone who's been here for longer.

Unfortunately there's no way to shield new members from flakes. IT would be great if there were.

OP, I would still encourage you to try a bit longer, and to advertise here (rp with me thread) and/or EMP. I've had terribly bad luck with memes (and complained about it here many times), but I've also had surprisingly good luck just recently.

i've had more successful threads sparked from rpa than i ever have from memes
