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.

If you wouldn't mind, that would be lovely. I'm mid-bronchitis, so longer plot starters are hard for me right now (I also might be a bit sporadic, but I'm very interested).

All the flying and wing preening.

Aw, hope you get better soon! I got one up here for whenever you're up to tagging in!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-30 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
another +1 to this.

also a big emphasis on the second point made. if someone ignores your tags consistently, don't keep tagging them. not saying you're someone who would do this, but as someone who has been the recipient of this before, it's really off putting to say the least.

what exactly are you asking

(Anonymous) 2023-12-30 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
i think it can be, but it doesn't have to be.

if a makes b a cheese sandwich, there's narration about how b doesn't really like cheese that much but will smile and eat it to be polite, and a's next tag is getting up without a word, making a different sandwich and plonking it in front of b? infomodding. even if accompanied by a's thought that he remembers b loves ham sandwiches. petty infomodding, but still of the "my character must never make mistakes" variety.

if the narration is hinting towards interesting things character a might learn if he asks the right questions about character or game history, b's player is trying to drop hooks to spice the conversation up. don't have to take them all, especially if a isn't that interested in b, but i can see how never taking any would get frustrating. some players are more subtle and skilled at doing this while keeping the conversation natural than others. on both sides.

this is interesting insight, for sure!

in the end, my case turned up to be one of they think it's fun because this isn't novel writing, it's rp writing, and they're just spicing it up because it's being read in realtime. the player took offense when i finally signaled it was challenging for me to stay immersed in our threads, so we've decided to part ways (like some of the earlier respondents had predicted we should).

Is this the first public game that’s opened in a while? Pretty incredible turnout.

Re: THE GOLDEN PEACOCK

(Anonymous) 2023-12-30 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
first public sex game that isn't very narrowly kink specific.

sex games generally have a much better turnout than other genres and there's been a dearth of options. if you think about it, the only public 'competition' this game has is duplicity, which has been around long enough that players who seek a sex game have already tried it out or decided it isn't for them.

no, but it's the first public sex game that's opened in a while, so there you go

just hanging out watching this unfold from the sidelines but boy i sure hope the mods don't end up getting burnout off the bat, 100-something apps is uh. a lot, jfc

it's probably the dearth of non-niche public sex games lately but i can't imagine they were anticipating it inflating to this size this quickly

I didn't expect to see the character I play at all so this is a pleasant surprise. I hope we both get in, anon!

Did the player report their app or did someone decide to challenge the app? Would be awkward since this game doesn't allow that.

i'm going with repost. at least one person on the apps plurk mentioned that they didn't post to the right place, but they saw their app listed.

- "I'm really loving our [insert details here] PSL!" it's valid to say you are super into the thing you're already threading, and I don't think that turning a thirsty thursday plurk into an appreciation plurk comes off as entitled.

note: this holds if it's something that's being actively threaded but slow. if it's been multiple weeks or months since it's been tagged, reaching out to them in a private plurk to clarify if they want to continue or if it's dead is a better move.

also honestly if this person is stringing you along/not tagging things to the extent that you feel like you want to quit RP, find new RP partners!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-30 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
if someone is consistently tagging your top levels and you really don't want to play with them, tell them not to tag you, don't repeatedly ignore them

should they get the hint? probably. but it's deeply unkind to let someone continue to try to play with you when you actively don't want to play with them.

(if you think they're going to react very badly to you asking them not to tag you then that is a different problem, but I would try asking first and then take it to community or game mods if they flip out.)

the ff7 crew, the opla crew, balthier, the genshin team. saw some ofmd characters and sad they didn't app this round.

While I generally agree with talking to people about this stuff, I think ignoring people on memes is a valid choice. It's not a hint, not replying IS telling them not to tag you.

does anything at all truly exist or is existence simply our consciousness arbitrarily giving value to external stimuli that have no inherent worth?
