rpanons | but my main character syndrome

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.

yeah i honestly got mad and i admit derailing but the other anon put it in the best way, short and to the point: even if anon doesn't want to *use* infoposts, they should have one for those who need it, it won't hurt you to make things easier for everyone.

lol brave of you to admit that you got mad on an anoncomm

i'm anon, brave would've been if i said it logged in

but yeah anon hit a huge pet peeve of mine because i've had to recon so many threads that could've been easily avoided with an infopost

+1

it's a peeve of mine as well. i once had a meme text thread with a book character i was unfamiliar with who used a pb and didn't have an info post. the thread was instantly flirty and i didn't mind so tagged it back a few times before i googled the character out of interest and discovered that though the pb was of a person in their 20s, the character was actually a teenager. if they'd had even a basic info post i would have discovered that earlier and not tagged them back, or opted out.

that makes sense to me. i play a lot of teenage characters in shipping scenarios, so it's so second nature for me to make sure to have an info blurb on every journal with age, height, eye and hair color. i like to include a first impression of their demeanor too.

the age thing is AWFUL actors don't always play their age and drawings aren't always good at showing it either. wikis can't be trusted because if the canon is long, the age may vary depending on canon point, if that canon has a wiki at all. not to mention ocs or characters that have been in game for years (although this last one doesn't happen as often nowadays tbf)

my game had an ic hot or not post and i had to watch two players with flirty characters on plurk @ a bunch of people to check on ages, my thoughts continue to be with those poor souls

exactly! even with characters who are well known someone might be playing from a different canon point, it's so useful to have all of that info listed somewhere so you can double check who you're tagging
