oh, dreamwidth park is lonely in the dark/all the horny memes have no tag-outs

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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

are there any plot games that aren't transformation or power-stripping right now, i swear that's all i see

i have found they get horribly offended when people decide they don't want to plot with or tag them after they pull the ignoring thing, a take i have never understood. if you ignore someone why would you care if they decide not to bother with you in the future?

bc they can be selective about who they tag but god forbid anyone ever be selective in a way that also excludes them

While Pumpkin Hollow will nerf extremes, they generally allow powers. It's a little slowburn on the plot; there's a lot for players to poke at and investigate, some central mysteries to figure out.

you're right, it might eat into their enjoyment to accommodate, i should have thought of that!

i wouldn't say it's resentment, as i don't think poorly of them or their preference, but i think you guys are right that it's an incompatibility that is unlikely to be resolved in a way that doesn't make things unfun for someone!

ah, i'm with you on the dialogue issue! idk if it helps, but i've sneakily found a way to resolve that by effectively only answering one of their dialogue lines, if they do that. i also can't handle multiple dialogue threads in the same tag! i think you are all right and it's probably time to move on, in my case.

That's exciting to hear! Would you say the game tends to be more light-hearted/adventure or more mysterious and tense?

abraxas isn't those, but their app round isn't until feb. xim and eastbound might've worked but they're in endgame. i believe expiation also has no power-stripping or transformation.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-21 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a thread partner who did that all the time so I stopped adding meta commentary to my tags and focused on only giving things that were visible to the outside observer rather than any inner thoughts.

Thank you all SO much for the gifts, especially the cat stuff! My guy has IBD and has been losing weight so I hope this helps.

thanks anon (and anon above you), i had written expiation and pumpkin off but i can't remember why, i'll give em a look

i'll be the radical outlier here and suggest you tell them it distracts you, then see if they change it before you justghost them.

I'm so pumped for this game.

The standard rating order being switched for the app is messing me up due to dyscalculia and synesthesia, though. I am actually having a hard time with this, my brain is refusing to cooperate without visual assistance.

If anyone else is in the same boat, just write 1 = AGREE || 5 = DISAGREE after every question and color code it in a Word document or something. You can always delete it later!

so, were you basically stripping out introspection and leaving it at, for example, "He walked to the end of the room, picking up a cup of water. After two sips, he said... " ?

(Anonymous) 2023-12-21 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I just ignore it and keep tagging lol

(Anonymous) 2023-12-21 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
that was my initial go-to! but now i'm wondering if it wouldn't be too much of an imposition, if they'd be perpetually paranoid and second-guessing their own style as a result, like one of the earlier commenters said. in my head, initially, it wouldn't have been a huge accommodation because it would've called on them to do less, rather than more, but i might have misunderstood how this works.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-21 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
totally fair! for me, i find it's really distracting and it breaks me out of being immersed in the scene, because it feels like such an obvious author's note.

I'm definitely interested in reading through that photo.net link but I reached the first reply and I am already stuck :(

You have an output ready image with soft proof adjustments.

As someone who learned Photoshop on my own, I am not at all familiar with the jargon. I honestly don't even know what this means lol. I have some idea, but I'm not confident
