Catboy Boyfriends 'R Us

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.

ecats/teamnesia/murdergames are like a who's who of shitty, gossipy, backstabby assholes, even by dwrp standards

and to be fair, most of them know to stay in their own lane, this thread is a perfect example of when they don't

if anyone wonders why we have such trouble attracting new people to this hobby, comments like this ^ are it

Players who run in those circles are almost exclusively in private games anyway. So yes, we have a problem with stagnation, but if anything the trend towards invite-only spaces is contributing more to that than someone pointing out they don't always attract the nicest people.

And while that's kind of anecdotal, that's also been my experience. Being private means being more insular which often leads to cattiness.

you know, it's funny you say that because that's what i was led to believe and so i avoided murder games like the plague for ages until a friend finally talked me into one, and then i found out that murder game players are some of the most chill and easygoing rpers i've met and now i play exclusively in murder games because i don't have to deal with the same stupid, petty drama i did when i played in games like prisma.

i would believe that, because the people who bash murdergame players are probably the people who tried a murdergame and got so fucking bootyblistered by ic events that they decided everyone else who plays in a murdergame must be the asshole

Or maybe they just had bad experiences there? The truth is likely somewhere in the middle, i.e. there's good and bad players in any game.

i used to be a regular with murdergames. overall i had a very fun time, but there is almost always 1-2 people in a game that will try to derail it/act like the main character because they want to be high-key dramatic.

ymmv. most murdergamers i've run into have been snooty dramaqueens but they do keep to themselves so it's pretty much a moot point.

i've been wanting to play in murder games for a good while now but it just hasn't worked out in my favor. the friends i have who are in them either aren't playing in them currently, taking breaks or flat out retired from games. you're living the dream nonny, one of these days i hope i get to play in one!
