yeah i think maybe the problem isn't so much that other characters aren't picking up on a problem, but maybe op isn't giving the right cues that someone else could reasonably pick up on.

if my character is lying through their teeth and you note that despite the character being good with lying and the other calls them on it wihout being a psychic, that's infomodding. if my character is a shitty liar i will include a number of tells in their body language, maybe mention how obvious they'd being about not being honest. the other character calling them on that isn't infomodding, it's reacting to what i've given them to react to.

write your body language. it's more fun for both you and the other player when it's picked up on.

YOu'd not be an infomodder if you actually play with people like that, the people you're playing with would just be batshit insane.

If I am asked for info on what I am going at, of course I will give it. Why wouldn't I? This isn't a game of paranoia.

Unless you're playing Paranoia, in which case you'd be doing it wrong, but I doubt it :P

I was asked to go more in depth about my character's second personality.

The character in question does not have a second personality (he acts as double for another character, which was mentioned in the app.)

I didn't even put my character in, because it just seems cheap somehow. I mean, I guess if your character NEVER TALKS ABOUT THEMSELVES, but how many characters really have DEEP DARK TRAGIC SECRETS that anyone could do anything with.

It'd be one thing if anyone got a decent plot out of one of those revealed profiles, but mostly it's gonna be used for coddling and hurt/comfort and maybe some CR arguments.

Pavlov reflex, you hone right in on the most irrelevant piece of information because it's bolded. Meanwhile something simple like app processing is placed on hold and other mods can do nothing about it and you ignore the statement.

"We're sorry but you're making someone in the game uncomfortable by existing so we're not letting you app, period"

I still have yet to figure out what the fuck that was about.


My other favorite was being rejected for picking a controversial canon point for a character with multiple personalities and was told I had to revise my entire app to fit into an end-canon scenario, which completely removes the duality for my choice to apply for the character in the first place. After a bit of back and forth with the mods, my app was ultimately rejected.

Bonus points? A similar character with a similar situation was allowed in, no problem.

While worded poorly, that first part clearly means there was a player who brought up issues they had had with you. Maybe they weren't truthful, but that's not unreasonable.

i have a character i have written incest with. i state that willingness in their profile, as well as a disclaimer stating that unless specifically given an okay for it, i won't go there. i figured that would pretty much cover my bases.

i have never been so wrong.

i've had castmates wig the fuck out at me because they see the incest in a meme thread or psl and then avoiding the crap out of me because they're afraid i'm going to force it on them and people pissed off because i played it somewhere else, why am i not playing that with them?!?!? even though they never said anything to indicate they were okay with it.

i hate everyone.

Unless I know the person, the person mentions they're brand new to DWRP as a whole or if I'm super excited for the character they play, I don't comment to their intro. I've seen people get no ooc intro replies but go on to get HUNDREDS of comments on their IC intro.

isaac's mun already said they won't let isaac get caught and won't do this part

there's no information or promise that it's going to end in being solved at all and no one wants to do a another pointless plot starring lena and lexi

so yes everyone is

Or you could post it there, wait and see if they check it and if they don't send them a polite "hey i posted this thing here can you look at it" message.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-09 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
not everyone

it actually makes me wish i had a character on security but since i don't i can't really get involved

lena and lexi have both said they want it to be solved. and danzy saying she won't let isaac get caught just sounds like avoiding ic consequences for ic actions.
