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.

CHARACTER ADVICE

Team Fortress 2 Mercenaries

[(Anonymous)]

Since there's been a bit of a renaissance with the bot ban wave.

I realize that while the RED and BLU teams do exist, as do Redmond and Blutarch for being the idiots that get them to fight, it's always been a bit weird on how to treat the cast itself. While we obviously know the nine mercenaries, each of them with their respective histories and personalities, the Administrator stated during a Congress Hearing regarding Poopy Joe mentioned "Eighteen Perfect Idiots" as part of her plan.

You could say you focus on just the RED team and treat all nine personalities as the canon ones. But then it gets weird such as the BLU Engineer being the one in charge of repairing the Life-Extension machine, how the RED Spy slept with BLU Scout's mom only to be revealed to be RED Spy's dad, how the RED Soldier and the BLU Demoman were friends... you get the idea.

When creating an account and/or applying them for a game, is it better to mark the difference between teams, or outright ignore it? Back in the day, I remember players in TF2 casts would have to define which team was each of their characters part of, though the last of TF2 canon would end up muddying the distinction.
