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 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.

If someone tells others they don't have time to rp but they rp anyway it's lying.

People aren't assuming bad faith by recognizing it as lying.

they don't have time for that one game, anon. maybe the game is really fast or requires a lot of attention. it's okay to need some time off sometimes, this isn't a job.

if someone tells others they dont have time to go out to eat but eats food anyway its lying

yes, if they go out after saying they can't go out that is literally the same thing

just be upfront instead of trying to cover your ass, nobody will care

what if you don't feel like going out to the big fancy restaurant but you can tolerate going out to McDonald's that's near your house

(frozen comment) Re: da

then say you don't want to go to a fancy restaurant instead of that you don't want to go out, duh

so it's ok to say "I'm not in the mood for this game right now but I'm going to play on this other game's TDM"

correct

but if you bail by saying youre tired/too busy and then go to mcdonald's to get a 6-piece tendie combo, youre gonna kind of look like an asshole

imho it's understandable if someone doesn't have the energy for game tags but they can still manage lowkey psls or memes or a slow-paced side game. i side-eye the people who barely make ac in their current game because they're soooo tired and sooo burnt out on rp but then app to a shiny new game, or the people who beg for psls with their shiny new muse when they haven't tagged their current psls in ages. it's like telling one group of friends that you're too tired to go the big fancy restaurant with them tonight, and then going out to a club with different friends instead. the first group is naturally going to feel kind of snubbed - not because you have other social interests, but because you blew them off with a halfassed lie.

its not tho.

i would be up for going out to eat at a hardee but not out at a fancy italian place, some days.

then you can go out and saying "sorry, i can't go out" is disingenuous

it's not rocket science to just say what you mean

this. if you're not feeling a particular game, just say so. if you're having trouble keeping up with a particular game, just say so. lying makes you look like you're trying to hide something.

i just hiatused in one of my games that's more plot-intensive because i have a big project at work this month. i said on plurk i was hiatusing from that game because it took more mental energy but that i would still be around my smaller, more chill game that doesn't require as much attention. and guess what? no one made a stink about it.
