rpanons | next time i'm sticking to my antisocial ways

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

i think it would better encourage people to tag with new people

why would you think it would make people do that? when i see a character on a meme that i'm not interested in playing with, i'm not going to tag them. it doesn't matter if i see them on twenty different memes, i'm still not going to want to tag them because either i'm not interested in the character or their canon or i've threaded with the player before and our styles didn't mesh.

i think it would make everything more centralized, which i think is part of why games (and tfln) are livelier? it's not exactly the same (games are also fun for other reasons, ie cr, tfln is lower effort) but since we're a smaller community than we used to be i think focus would help.

i also am usually pretty inclined to tag with strangers if it's a character i'm interested in but don't really ever feel inclined enough to hunt through 40 different memes to see who's around and actively tagging, who posted themselves to a dozen memes and is more focused on takers they got somewhere else, etc. so i usually default to whoever's bs links on plurk

go play in a musebox or psl if all you're doing is playing what's linked on plurk. that's not the purpose of bakerstreet.

Bail out guys, the bakerstreet cop is here

i keep coming back to this comment and just laughing

"that's not how you use bakerstreet" like there's an official instruction manual or a handbook we're supposed to follow and anon is just. acquiring threads wrong now? and they should go back to an objectively worse experience because the self-appointed
bakerstreet cop said so?

maybe they would be using bakerstreet the "right" way if it weren't full of spam, cop.

da but "that's not how you use bakerstreet" isnt really what was said, they said "that's not the purpose of bakerstreet"

which doesnt imply an instruction manual at all, it implies that what's being said goes against the spirit and stated purpose of the comm, which tbh, just having one single controlled meme a week and nothing else does. you are indeed better off trying to get psls if this is how you want to use bs

average dwrper reading comprehension is "i come back to this comment all the time" and then saying it says something it doesnt

very pedantic. much like the bakerstreet cop

ayrt pretending like they aren't the bakerstreet police

isn't that just lestrade

glad that "everyone i like can only be one person" isnt a wg-exclusive banger

*everyone i dont like

look who cant read now

welcome to the force

nayrt

to me the purpose and spirit of bakerstreet is just a public community to post contextless prompts for you to tag in with any character on your roster you'd like, if there were four thousand memes posted on thursday or four it wouldn't change that

why would you also not read the thread you're replying to lol. how embarrassing for you

well

because im commenting on this comment you did not read repeatedly

not the entire thread

and you still missed the point

They did not say "I come back to this comment all the time"

You can't even quote right

sorry

i should have been more specific about the phrasing they used to say "i come back to this comment many times to reread it for my own amusement, rather than constantly every half a second for the rest of time"

so basically you're too lazy to do the legwork of finding characters you'd be interested in tagging and want someone else to do all of that for you

yeah, rp should be fun, not work

pillow queen ass

yes i am too lazy to do legwork that exists in the first place because someone desperately needs to post 5 varieties of a you are now a frog meme per week which no one responds to

"i think it would make everything more centralized"

all it would do is make people tag less, not more. you're not going to magically convince people to tag memes that don't interest them. if there's only one meme posted per week, the people who don't want to play in that particular meme just won't tag at all, so you'll end up with an even smaller potential pool of people to play with.

nontagging would be punishable by jail time
