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.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-24 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)i've listed the three i could identify (maybe i'm missing some) in a comment higher in the thread, of which two are not really linked to MR.
i've got no skin in this game, because i'm not really feeling sci-fi. which, like i said, i think is part of it: we're collectively not into sci-fi as much, and a major sci-fi game that is well regarded and established (ximilia) was having its tdm around the same period, attracting more attention. but it still boils down to our combined attention span, if you think about it.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-24 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)i don't think it's attacking anyone to admit, we (feel we) can afford to be pickier this instant, so if a game doesn't meet 90% of our expectations, we're more prone to move on to the next tdm. whereas if this were same time last year, when we only had three games and a prayer, we'd have sucked it up and played in a high-density, lore-rich tdm with prompts that need proactivity.
i mean, look at the ximilia tdm too (i just did, for curiosity). the prompts of that definitely need proactivity, because the mods don't give you pretty much any kind of indication of how to find the orb that the entire tdm tasks you to locate. you have to take ownership of that entire scenario. people are still doing it.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-24 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)i took a look at the game when it was first announced and saw that it was a sci-fi setting and went "nah."

(Anonymous) 2023-02-24 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)Tbh, I'd pay for a re-do of the Pleaseantville-like game that had everyone paired up and with children in the 'perfect' city and stuff got weirder from there. Gods, I can't remember the name.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-24 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)Thb I barely remember it and I was only part of it for a while so I probably see it with rose tinted glasses (I don't even know how it ended), but I've been itching for something Pleaseantville inspired for a while because I love that movie and... I guess that nostalgia hit me?

(Anonymous) 2023-02-25 03:29 am (UTC)(link)every horror game these days seems like a spooky atmospheric town with standard jamjar events that have some optional horror twists. anything actually horrific will be crouched in either alternative non-horror prompts or the option to play a much less horrific version of the same thing. they end up being 90% spooky slice of life with 10% horror.
(not that opt-outs are bad, but ime a lot of games nowadays even beyond the horror genre feel less like "[genre] game where you can opt-out of stuff you don't like" and more like "generic jamjar where you can opt-in to [genre]" if that makes any sense)
