The OOC RP Discussion Meme

[How To]

1. Discuss anything to do with RP-ing - Plots you want to try out, characters, characterization, head canon/fan theories, game ideas, meme ideas, fic and fanart ideas, AU and crossover ideas, Verse/PSL ideas, etc, etc. Game and comm promotions are fine, too.

2. Comments can be anon or non-anon, it's up to you.

3. Please do not bash, flame or name drop any mun or game in a negative fashion. No wanking, please!

4. Have fun!

Because as a prospective player, it's not my job to make someone else's community into a place I want to play. Do all those 400 members have different muns, or is it just 5-10 people dumping their entire character rosters to artificially inflate the community's member count? I'm reasonably active around the RP community and this is the first I've heard of wayswithwords. If it's legitimately that big of a community, is it the Fight Club of DWRP? "The first rule of WWW is don't talk about WWW"?

Looking at the active community there doesn't make me want to become part of that community. And as a former TLH regular who stopped posting there when the active community turned into a pile of garbage, I'm not really sure what can be done to rectify the issue. How do you clean up a metaphorical roach motel?

Then tag the people that they ignore. Put a post up and wait. And, there's nothing you can do with the people that are there. It's an open dressing room for fucks sake.

Unfortunately, this isn't a game where the mods have to try to entice people to come play in. It's a dr with a more open theme than sws or ssws, but it's essentially the same thing. It's a place where multiple verses or aus can happen, but from what I've seen, it seems to stick to the same group of people that post in sws/ssws and they seem to be making it about that verse they've created.

That's fine for them, but I would think perhaps if people were to toss in obscure characters or non-LA characters, it would do more to drawing in the type of characters they want to play with than just deciding it's a loss and leaving another dr comm to be overrun by the current group.
