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.

+1 how is this anon going to cope when they have to tag and make ac every month

(Anonymous) 2022-04-24 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
some people are better and faster at writing fic then they are wikipedia articles

idk why that needs to be explained to you that game paperwork and tagging are two different writing muscles

(Anonymous) 2022-04-24 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
it's not that hard jan

if you can make ac and write log posts and tls all month, you can do a three paragraph personality section

people out here acting like it's war and peace lmao

as a recent game mod i can't help wondering if this is one of the people who try to throw painfully long (3k+ words) personality sections at me and act like they Have To when i would much prefer they kept it under like 500 words

Add a max word count to your app sections.

Problem solved.

Played in plenty of games that limit it and see no reason not to.

as someone who can easily wax poetic 3k words about my blorbo and feel the need to be comprehensive and thorough at all times, i appreciate when mods give max word limits when they don't want to read all that shit

i did eventually! i got people whining at me that they had to condense their personality sections so much, thus 100% affirming my decision

(Anonymous) 2022-04-25 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
i sort of get anon's point because i find it harder to describe why a character is like this compared to just writing tags, but a week still feels too long for me for a personality section

but i'm also the type to write it in 30 minutes and go back to it right before apps to proofread spelling errors. never had issues getting in that way before.

idk, i feel like if i can't explain to someone else why a character is the way they are, i don't understand them well enough to play them in a game. when i really love a character and want to play them i can't wait to write their personality section and babble about them.

ayrt

i definitely agree! if i struggle too hard on the personality, i don't know the character enough to put them in a game.

the struggle for me is usually how to start writing it all. sometimes i have so much i want to say but i don't know how to say it, then when i finally start i can't stop.

some people have things they're not good at, and for me, describing personalities is one of those things

at least ayrt used "I" statements instead of insisting that this is a universal truth

(Anonymous) 2022-04-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
op complained about tdm tl and tags, so clearly that's work too to them.
