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!

Memes you want to see

Canon switch: Put your character in another work on your pb/actor's imdb page. What happens?

[seabitching]

I'd like to see more memes that enable mingling. I find things like support group meme and the various "you are all at a massive party" memes work well because they're based around settings where strangers would be likely to meet, so tagging characters you're not already familiar with feels less daunting.

A doppleganger meme. Characters meet themselves, giving muns with the same muses a chance to interact.

A "Complaints meme", basically like the support group meme but instead of people being there for support, they're just there to complain. About Batman, their series getting cancelled, stupid tropes, etc. I know it's very similar but I think you might be able to fudge it enough to allow for different interactions. I was thinking of the "Almost Got 'im" episode of Batman where they're telling stories and complaining.

can we finally all just agree that we don't need the hate meme? i think enough has happened to show that there's no 'public service' being done and we don't need 'a place to vent' like that. i have also yet to see what 'interesting conversations' happen there that can't be had in a place that isn't a pit of vitriol and drama that fosters creating problems rather than trying to solve them.

[(Anonymous)]

we "need" it as much as we "need" rpanons, imo. I don't see problems being fixed on either. if you shut down wankgate, I'm pretty sure all the stuff there would make the natural move to rpanons, anyway.

I'm not sure what the point of hate memes is. To "out" bad roleplayers, bad games and bad mods? Is that it? (Genuinely curious here, not being sarcastic.)

THIS.

Shut it down for good already.

[(Anonymous)]

If that one gets shut down then another one will replace it. Does it have a purpose? Yes/No. Venting about shit that happens in a game/bakerstreet is healthy, and I actually would be okay with a monthly thing. No. I don't agree with what some of the people on there do. And, I'm not the only one that does that uses the hate meme for what it originally was intended to do. To call out OOC assholes.

[(Anonymous)]

personally i would like to return to the hate meme being a "once every two or three months" kind of deal, but i know that's never going to happen at this point.

Yes, we can. Hate memes have devolved from a place to "vent/warn about bad players/etc." into a place for cliques and those with too much time on their hands to just rant and wail on people and then condemn those who don't agree with everything they say. Entirely needless; if you want to be a douche, go do it in private with the rest of your cheerleader-squad friends and be publicly civil like the rest of us.

This comment perplexes me, honestly, if only because, uh, dozens of posts with thousands of comments on them would argue otherwise.

As for interesting conversations, I've learned quite a bit through a very civil discussion about different sorts of religion, actually. It started as a complaint about something, so.

And it's not true of everyone, but the first question from many, many anons is "Have you brought that up with them?" with regards to issues. Some people aren't interested in doing so, some people don't feel they can, and others eventually will; they just need to vent about it first to clear their heads before they hash shit out. Some people frequently are right dicks, it is a hatecomm after all, but there are people who, while perfectly aware of where they are and aren't out to change it, don't subscribe to the hating attitude and do offer advice where applicable.

Does anyone know of a good place to discuss pbs with other muns? I have a couple muses I need pbs for and I'm at a loss for ideas.

[(Anonymous)]

RpAnons usually has a PB help thread. Just go there and either list what features your looking for or what character you're looking for a PB for.

[thebestbrainsintown]

Try Rp Anons.

This is purely nitpicky, but can you please turn off the custom page setting on this journal, so that it defaults to the site skin? If this is gonna become a regular thing, then having custom page settings off would be easier to navigate.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel the same way, but it's easily solved by just choosing the site-skin option, or adding &style=site at the end of your url.

it's not even really nitpicky; I thought it was just good standard practice to disable custom comments because it reads really badly, especially when you get a thread more than a few comments long.

[(Anonymous)]

this meme's existence will always flummox me infinitely more than wankgate's

it's like baby's first rpanons

[(Anonymous)]

I at least understand the first couple sub threads, since you don't see much centralized meme discussion on rpanons. just random scatterings that could easily be missed.
