I love how you included needless info, nothing to do with the current thread, and recaps of canon you both play from and people still charged in to tell you that their padding isn't like the padding you're complaining about!!!

No shit. Wading through pointless padding is annoying as fuck, clearly this thread is not about you if you're not doing what's mentioned.

literally all of this is so tame tho of course people complain about wg and not about this pastel pink monstrosity

i think people shake and cry about wg because it gets viciously personal with constant namedropping and linking directly to people playing out things we hate, not because of all the vague, aimless bitching about nothing that we do in between

the other memes like gen texting and even the mistletoe have blown it out of the water.

people are tired of smut, imo.

I think the majority of memes would do better on average if they were moved to once a month. TFLN is an exception and the recent memes like the mistletoe meme exploded most likely due to their infrequency.

you do realize the choice is not between piles of unnecessary filler or one-word 'blink' replies, right? that you could include actually relevant content in your tags instead? eesh.

(Anonymous) 2016-12-26 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, this is true, and that's why i said 'when we're both playing from it'. of course that stuff is helpful for people unfamiliar with the character, but if i'm psling with a canonmate, i really really really do not need any recaps there.

ayrt

I don't feel like it's irrelevant content, though! It's fun to write and, hopefully, provides a hook for the other player to respond to. I like to treat an RP thread as forwarding some bigger goal in their CR, or for the plot at large. Of course I vary post lengths based on what needs to be said, but sometimes there's just so much set up to do... and that's fun to me!

In any case I was blowing my gasket more to provide the polar opposite of op's complaint than because I felt personally attacked. It's another example of play styles that don't match up, necessarily, in which case I imagine that if OP and I were in a thread, we'd leave off and find other players better suited to our styles. Or maybe that we chatted oocly if we were feeling invested enough to try to make it work.

Re: RP ADVICE YOU'D GIVE

dude it's gotten over 300 comments, that's pretty fucking good by our current standards.

and before someone comes along to fatly interject with "but most of those are empty top levels!", name a meme that gets hundreds of comments that isn't mostly empty top levels that isn't tfln, aka the meme where more than half the people just grab quotes at random that don't even make sense for their characters from the front page of a site of shit that never happened.

I love the way when I ask for help or advice on Plurk I get ignored, but as soon as I go anon people are willing and eager to give answers and thoughts and opinions. It's like nobody gives a shit when it's me, but when it's anon they worry it might be someone they actually care about, so they help.

Feels bad, man.

(Anonymous) 2016-12-27 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
More like people are wary of being shat on if they give advice some tumblrina doesn't like in namespace.

...no it didn't

what dimension are you from where anything pulled in tfln numbers

it might have broken the thousand barrier a lot more often in the past but wg gets triggered by anyone bringing up the fact that this stupid hobby is dying off and practically everything is getting less responses, so i won't mention it
