wankgate | 162: he screamed until he starved and died.

Please, please stop asking for meme tags you never intend to do. We get one round into the thread an POOF. Fool me once, fool me twice.

I have someone like this on my plurk. Lots of meme top levels advertised, lots of tag-ins to those top levels, they never get answered because the mun has already moved onto another muse they just talk about and don't play. I've recycled all the starters I gave them to other people by now.

I know someone like this and I used to keep trying and hoping because they were a great writer when you could get a thread

It's dumb but I'm kinda proud of myself for not tagging them this time. It's more of a "fool me fifty times" thing but from bow on I'm not wasting the effort on them

Yeah this is pretty much it. I'm ashamed to admit if I got a tag back on those old memes that I'd roll with it. Excellent but flakey writers are a curse I can't get away from.

when people think that smut = total change of character and has a char being ooc in dialogue. it just throws the whole mood of the thread off and the oocness makes me second guess playing because i don't feel like i'm playing against the actual character. feels more like someone just wants to play x face in y scenarios and isn't considering how they'd actually react.

that's what will make me drop a thread, tbh.

>meme asks for top levels with starters
>people post without starters

it never fails

It's amazing how many people don't like to fucking READ in this text based hobby.

it's a great way to weed out trash players though

i wish more memes had that caveat

enough with the rescuer/bodyguard memes. space them out. we get it. you like it. but it's not that popular and i'm tired of seeing version 5 posted when version 4 is still on the page.

... Those meme aren't even the same

same concept. save me, rescue me, protect me, be in a position where one party takes care of another, preferably with physicality. they're not exactly the same, but there's a theme, and they all get minced up and put into a handful of memes instead of an inclusive one, which is part of what's annoying about bs lately. wait a week or so and then do an inclusive meme instead of something that's similar but just a little different to the one posted 2-3 days ago.

Ever since someone posted a texting meme a day after tfln and the mods didn't give a shit, ideas either

the difference in that is the rescue/save me memes barely break 100 comments, if they get anything at all, and the texting meme was posted after tfln hit captcha. one is actually popular and wanted. the other is just someone with a craving for save me obi wan and trying to push people into tagging it. i'll tag it when it's been a couple weeks and i'm not still tagging in the other meme.

So because one is popular, breaking the rules is OK? Rme

reposting the same meme is against the rules. reposting a more inclusive meme (and don't give me this shit that tfln is 'for other things' because no one fucking uses it for anything other than tfln, which is why it's a fucking tfln meme) to carry on stuff that was cut short or made harder because of captcha should be allowable. it's not the meme players fault that captcha can't be turned off after 5k.

and i never said that they were breaking the rules. i said they're doing too many similar themed memes when the last one isn't popular enough or near captcha to need it.

between that and the loyal dog/servantmaster/apprentice memes, it's just coming off like someone has a power dynamic kink and they're trying to make it a thing when it's just not a thing. it might be more of one if you gave people a break, but no one wants to tag into something that's just like the one up yesterday they didn't tag into because they're tagging one from a few days ago.
