[rpanonmod]

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.

Re: Majority Rule

why are players complaining here on the off chance the moderators will read it instead of just hitting one of their contact posts?

because they want to wank the game to death

it's the only reason anyone ever brings anything here rather than actually going to the mods to resolve the issue, because they want to create wank and then be surprised pikachu when the game dies and they can continue to complain about how nobody wants to mod any more

Re: Majority Rule

but... you're not offering criticism, unless you're going and communicating this to the mods. you're contributing to a string of negativity associating this game to failure before the app session has even closed.

this is the part people need to get: no matter how reasonably or politely they put down a game, they are still putting it down, in a period when in order to live to fight another day and improve the tdm format, a game needs public hype, positivity and good vibes. the kindest thing you can do for this game right now is (and for any new game), if you have concrit to share, is to communicate it to the mods and keep it off a venue like rpanons. otherwise, you feed into a self-fulfilling prophecy that the game has died or will die.

i'm not trying to be unkind in saying this, because i think you and some others mean well. but you're missing the point. part of what gets a game off the ground is the stubborn enthusiasm from a handful of mods and players that it will succeed. people sitting here, dissecting what's going wrong and pronouncing it DOA are just sealing the deal of its failure.

No one is pronouncing it DOA, but you also can't expect people not to discuss it. Pretending like something doesn't have issues and luring people in with false expectations is worse because you end up with a lot more disappointment instead of people who might consider joining if things got reworked a little. Saying, "you mean well so don't talk about it" feels disingenuous.

It's hard to be stubbornly enthusiastic for a game that hasn't given us anything to be enthusiastic about because the game I want to RP in is making me choose between doing busy work or handwaving my cr.

people can read the tdm and decide if it has issues for them, anon. but generating a lot of negativity puts people off from even checking it out. please reread the thread, the terms DOA and 'dead' are used in multiple comments.

this is why wg doesn't even allow discussing a game before it's officially launched: so that a game has a fighting chance to get off the ground. let's not pretend that being nitpicky or negative in anon threads is helping this game, or providing some kind of public service.

nfn anon but there was someone in this very post trying to doompost about the game's tdm literally one day after it went up. sometimes all it takes is one negative remark to discourage folks from checking a game out, and this game's been hit with a weird amount of it from the get-go.
