Help! My rp partner hasn't invited me to play our OTP in their game! (´・ω・`)

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

Someone asked me to delete my tag, so they could edit theirs, as there was a mistake in it. I did so, but they never edited their tag and dropped the thread even though they'd previously seemed to be enjoying it. Confusingly, they indicated to me in a DM that they were fine with the original tag after all, but when I asked them if they wanted me to retype my old tag (since I didn't save it) so we could continue the thread, they never replied and have ghosted me.

Did I do something wrong and if so, can someone explain to me what I did and how to avoid this situation in the future? It sucks to have been bailed on when I tried to do everything that was asked of me and I'm assuming I must've violated some unspoken rule of dwrp etiquette and not realized it.

seems like you encountered a weirdo. go and tag someone else.

weirdo or not, i didn't mean to offend them and i don't like the idea that i ruined a fun thread they were having. also, i have other threads going on with multiple characters, and it's odd that you assumed i didn't just because i expressed confusion regarding this thread.

and it's odd that you assumed i didn't

what? anon, all i said was that it sounded like you encountered someone weird and you should probably focus your efforts elsewhere (tag someone else). you're the one who came up with the rest of that out of two sentences i said.

if you're being an anxiety chihuahua off a random anon's remark or two maybe there's reason enough to drop you.

You didn't do anything wrong.

They probably realized after you deleted your tag that they couldn't edit theirs. Once a comment has been replied to, it is uneditable even if all replies to it are deleted.

So when they were like "oops, nevermind!" and you said you would have to rewrite your tag, they were probably embarrassed and decided to ghost.

If you want to, just tag them back with something new, or ask if they still have the notification so you can copy+paste.

Hey, this is not true. A comment is editable if there are no replies to it. The only comments that cannot be edited are anon ones.

I have had a couple times where I deleted a tag for someone to edit or asked them to delete for myself.

+1

it used to be the case that it was unable to be edited even if the response was deleted, but this got fixed a while ago. you may have to reload a few times depending on how janky your browser cookies are, is all.

In the future if the 'delete so I can fix a thing' happens, just go ahead and respond again after they edit or after they tell you "ok go ahead". You won't be able to repost the tag exactly as it was written before, so changing a few small things (like leaving out a comma, or adding a couple words) will be needed.

That's the only thing I can think of that you did 'wrong' here? And it wasn't even really wrong, it was just asking for clarification. I'd say it's not your fault, anon.
