rpanons | Makin' my blorbos smooch is what gets me through the hard times

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.

Confession time... I wrote a starter on a meme and I was really excited for the thread but I didn't get a tag back for like a week and I was pretty disappointed, so I used the same starter in a psl with a friend and hit it off.

The day after I started the psl, the original player finally tagged me back with a great reply, but their response was so similar to the psl direction that I just dropped the thread since I didn't want to play it out twice.

You were a day too late! I'm sorry!

this is exactly why I never believe anyone who says "two cakes!" about having multiple threads with similar content. there's always going to be one you prefer less.

this sounds like a personal problem tbh

both you and op suck jsyk

yes it does actually suck to find out you're the second cake and get dropped after being told that they're happy to do two threads

we're all sorry that happened to you

I dunno anon, da here but I wouldn't have dropped the other thread because I bank on dialogue and interactions being different even if the overall plans stay the same. It's always two cakes for me.

Yikes, this makes you sound petty as hell. A week isn't that long

eh, honestly depends person to person. a week is a bit long for me too, and i'm not sure i'd continue a thread with a perfect stranger who didn't communicate they were experiencing a one-week delay oocly at that point either. for other people, a week's wait would be absolutely fine.

there are generally two types of players on bkst: those who treat memes as a lowest-priority avenue, and those who exclusively play on memes or who want to play on memes in short, concentrated bursts. ime, speed expectations are challenging to reconcile, so it's better to cut a thread short early on, when you realize you're not a match for each other, than to drag it out and incrementally resent your thread partner because you feel delayed or pressured to tag faster. in this case, sounds as if op had a pick between playing the same thread at their preferred speed and a slower one, to boot.

You hit the nail on the head. I accept responsibility that it was a shitty thing to do (which is why I called this a confession and not a brag of how morally upstanding I am), but taking a week for the first tag of a thread with no ooc communication didn't bode well for me.

lol i wonder if i was the other person in question. ftr this happened to me, i was too slow to tag back, and did see that they reused the same starter and ran with it. at the time my thoughts were "oh that's fair."

don't let other anons make you feel bad, it's whatever in the end.

fwiw this happened awhile ago and I did it in a locked community so the original person didn't see it.

I'd rather come across as flaky than make them feel like I preferred to play the same scenario with a different player, when really the issue was that our paces seemed to not line up.
