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.

RESERVES

Reserves are open and the TDM goes up tomorrow! Exciting.

i kind of wanted to try my hand at getting into this game, but the amount of reserves already make me feel intimidated since there are so few open slots left.

Re: RESERVES

you miss all shots you don't take, anon. Come dip at the TDM and see how much it inspires you with the character you're considering, you can think about what next after that?

Re: RESERVES

(Anonymous) 2022-04-16 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
about half of the reserves are players already in game, and reserves aren't always a guaranteed app! give it a shot.

Re: RESERVES

(Anonymous) 2022-04-17 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
13 slots and at least two people reserved wouldn't get in if the game were gonna close without more players. you got a pretty good shot anon.

21 reserves from new players competing for 11 slots :') i just hope everyone has read the game info and is aware of the increased likelihood they will not get accepted

the tdm is so much fun. i hope i can make it in!

(Anonymous) 2022-04-21 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I’m gonna app but I’m okay with not making it in this time. I’ll just try again next time maybe. Good luck everyone!

Re: RESERVES

And in the end it is turning out that they may end up with exactly as many apps as there are slots. Not a bloodbath at all apparently.

Re: RESERVES

(Anonymous) 2022-04-28 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Whereas Ximilia seems eternally doomed to never have enough spots for people interested so it's a permanent bloodbath. I gave up after months of trying. Hope this game is better about it.

appreciate it's disappointing not to get into the game you want, anon, but i think we should be encouraging mods to recognize their limitations and stand by them. if there's a (capped) number of players or characters they know they can handle, then that's that. better to have an unstressed mod group that can oversee their plots and players and have fun, than to let a game balloon beyond what the mods can control. the bloodbaths are ultimately preferable to a game shutting down because it got too big for the mods' comfort.

Re: RESERVES

(Anonymous) 2022-04-29 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Never said it wasn't okay for the mods to pick what made them most comfortable, I would never ask them to change their rules, they made it that way on purpose. Still allowed to find it frustrating from a player POV.

Re: RESERVES

(Anonymous) 2022-04-29 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
there's an inherent negative connotation in "i hope this other game is better about it" anon, that's what ayrt thinks we shouldn't be encouraging

your frustration is valid, dunking on mods for enforcing caps is not

Re: RESERVES

(Anonymous) 2022-04-29 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
you jinxed it.

best of luck to everyone apping this round!

i predict ac will sweep out 2~4 more slots, don't lose hope

Re: RESERVES

18 slots for 20 new applicants. It's not that bad
