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.

ancient drs had:

- monthly events
- ooc community w/ chat rooms
- people who were willing to take a prompt and make their own post instead of top leveling in a major post

people think DRs magically managed themselves back in the day. there was a strong ooc community and there were monthly events. usually cracky status-change kinds of events, "oh no there's a virus outbreak that gives the afflicted cat ears!" "oh no sex pollen season!" "someone decorated xyz place in a silly way come look at it and react" stuff. everyone who opted in made their own posts about it which were functionally top-levels.

the part that was kind of fun was sometimes a player would just have their character react to a thing they mostly planned for themselves and everyone else would play along and make it MORE of a thing. that was fun about DRs. like a big game of telephone.

i feel like DRs could still work really well in modern dwrp but they'd need to adapt slightly; just a little more modly handholding/event curating and encouragement to keep activity steady
