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.

my guy have you ever tried to give a dwrper genuine crit... i don't think that's going to work out the way you think it's going to work out

nayrt

I’m not sure many actually have. In all my years doing this I received exactly one crit and it was someone getting unhinged about conflict they weren’t involved in and all the players who were had agreed on and vibed with. Everyone I play with seems to have HMDs that only ever get a compliment or two and usually nothing otherwise. Maybe it’s a combination of people not knowing how to effectively crit (or what is worth crit versus what amounts to a difference in interpretation) and people who don’t know how to accept crit idk.

Actually, yeah. Several times over the years in fact. Every time turned out fine.

If everyone you RP with freaks out at the tiniest critique, you should probably find better circles to play in. I know we joke about "DWRPers can't communicate" but in my experience most people here are perfectly reasonable, just awkward. If you're not having fun anyway, why worry about them freaking out at a reasonable concern? If it ends badly you can drop their ass.

this depends on the people you have around you, absolutely. and you can be very sensitive about the crit, but people still take it poorly.

in the past when hmds were more common, i would crit players often. sometimes, i would realize i got it all wrong and their reasoning made perfect sense. i have had some crits that i worded poorly or wrote in annoyance and i accept that i was wrong in those moments, but for the most part, majority of these rpers accepted the crit and either applied them or not depending on how valid it is.

the only reason i stopped writing crits so much is because i just stopped caring about most canons and can't tell if someone is ic or not, but if this is still majority the same playerbase from before, most people are still much more reasonable than you'd think.
