people who don't contribute to plotting and just say 'we can do whatever you want to do,' what's your logic here? is it because you don't feel like planning something? is it because you don't want to write with the other person, but you're just too polite to say no? i don't get it. rp is supposed to be a collaborative thing, but when i ask someone what they want to do and the answer is 'idk whatever you pick,' it really doesn't sound like you're all that interested........

[(Anonymous)]

their logic is they want you to do all the work. whether or not they actually want the thread is irrelevant, because anyone who says that will be a chore to write with.

when u guys go in a public restroom and the toilet seat is still up from being cleaned (in this hypothetical it is a single toilet bathroom) do you use your foot to put the seat down to use or do you lose your mind

please answer in a concise manner

legitimate question, what are your thoughts on someone's rp roster being several characters across different fandoms but all played by the same actor? do they just really like the actor and it's harmless?

[(Anonymous)]

first thought would be hazardously high likelihood of rpf vibes tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Woop woop

that's the sound of the police

rrrrroxanne... you don't have to wear that dress tonight...

ever seen a friendship dissolve in real time?

i remember two rp best friends constantly gushing over a shared fandom of theirs around a decade ago. eventually they said they'd meet up irl because said fandom had a movie and they were gonna see it together.

come one of their next plurks after that meetup, friend A was noticeably terse and even cold to friend B. as the weeks went by it was obvious they were no longer as warm and fangirl-y with each other as they'd used to be. almost like the meetup had been a huge letdown.

i fell out with both of them a few years later as we all moved onto different games and circles. but last i checked they're no longer friends.

that kind of thing is so unpleasant to witness.

network rp sucks. stop boomeranging quasi ic one liners and go answer your log tags.

If someone were to summarize all of dwrp wank (including pre-exodus from lj), would it be amusing or enlightening or depressing

Also in that light what is the most memorable wank ever

[(Anonymous)]

i can only accept this in the format of an exhaustively long youtube video essay i will only half listen to

[(Anonymous)]

what the fuck is 'disabled-friendly game' supposed to mean? is someone really out there suggesting all games on DW up until now have been ableist?

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

So I can’t even mention im a jew on wankgate now? (Serious) (not shitposting)

[(Anonymous)]

if you're actually serious why are you posting it here and not taking it to the mods directly

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

no more applications with words in them. only moodboards, playlists and memes. not like any of you meatballs will answer your tags anyway.

How do I stop being such a competitive and jealous bitch about someone who plays the same character as I do? This shit is supposed to be fun. But here I am looking over their shoulder to compare how we play them. And wishing I had the chance for some of the CR that they're getting in their game. And also worrying if people respond better to the way they play this character than the way I do.

I don't want to be a petty toxic loser.

[(Anonymous)]

do your tags and stop watching what other people do

[(Anonymous)]

slasher was right

[(Anonymous)]

What is the ideal AC where it can't be abused for players to squat the game? What kind of activity check would demonstrate that everyone meeting it is actively engaged with the game?

Re: Tell me wankgate...

[(Anonymous)]

20 - 30 comments across a maximum of 2 links with one link from the first two weeks of the month and the second link from the second week of the month, game comms or mod-posted event posts only, with a rule that states you can't tag the same characters for ac-worthy links more than twice in a row consecutively.

does that sound like a pain in the ass to regulate? yes. this is why it doesn't happen.

[(Anonymous)]

suppose you wake up one day and decide that you're ready to leave dwrp forever. you decide that it is better to burn out than to fade away, so you are going to go out in the biggest and most dramatic wankstorm possible. people will be talking about it for years.

what do you do? how do you go about designing the biggest and most memorable conflagration of drama this hobby has ever witnessed?

[(Anonymous)]

i make a youtube video essay about journal rp

[(Anonymous)]

what is it that saltburnt ripped from other games, i saw that comment go by and can't find it again but still want to know

was it just stuff most games have that is expected or is it a specific unique to one game thing they obviously lifted from a single source

[(Anonymous)]

oh good that's exactly what this boring wank needed, another thread about it

[(Anonymous)]

How often do you actually complain about people you rp with? And to who? Trusted rp friends? Rl friends? Family? Your therapist?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't because I'm not a catty bitch. I tend to like the people I play with and play with the people I like

[(Anonymous)]

i hate how transactional friendships can be on dw. i cant even count how many times people acted like my best friend until i stopped rping with them. then im suddenly not important anymore and even if we were talking every day they usually stop right then and there and give short, uninterested replies when i try to talk to them.

maybe i just suck and am only fun when i tag though, idk. but it still sucks to put months or even years into a relationship that only lasts as long as i can give them tags. i feel like ive wasted so much time trying to befriend people who see me as a fun dispenser only

[(Anonymous)]

as a general rule, do not count someone here as a friend unless you both regularly talk to each other about non-fandom things

if you bitch about your life and they listen and they bitch about theirs and you listen, you're friends

if you're just talking every day about dean fucking goku that's done as soon as they quit playing dean

[(Anonymous)]

What's with the weirdos who have been popping up to say "um... I love wank too, but can we like? not wank on people?" lately? Why do they think people are going to do what they ask?

[(Anonymous)]

i'm just spiteknighting to stir shit when i do it idk about the others

[(Anonymous)]

aren't we all like 40 years old now though. why are you still wanking here. why are you getting mad and starting shit. you're literally old

[(Anonymous)]

was wondering how long it would take before the quotev children found their way here

did you know

[(Anonymous)]

it's been over ten years since treegate
