oh gomen anon san

arigato gozabye felicia chan

does anyone else remember back when people used to do that rise of the brave tangled guardians or whatever mashup...it used to be a huge thing in fandom spaces

oh i would go wild and post way more

gotta live up to this notoriously wanky fandom that hasn't seen any good action in a few years

i agree but it's confusing because the switch to invite-only should have theoretically given people much more leeway to be selective with apps, and mods of invite games still let the same bad players in

but if they didn't do that, there'd be no need for cast caps. tbh the more i think about it the more cast caps seem like a lazy way to look like you care about who's in the game while you're really prepared to just let in the first ten players of that cast no matter how boring their tags are and call it a day

You're mistaking the point of invite-only though. Most of them aren't there to deter mediocre writing. As long as the characters still fit the basics they expect, then they'll pass. Their main goal is to stop problem players from coming in, or keep the crowd to people who they and their friends know.

I've seen casts where their apps are all pretty solid so I don't know how much quality checking would really avoid a need for a cap. Now, if there's a way for mods to know who would just squat in a game and reject their apps based only on that, that much I'd prefer because often they are bandwagon joiners with big casts so they can have instant cr and keep afloat in the game with minimal to no effort.

when playing on the tdm is a requirement for getting an invite, you can see both whether their tagging is actually good and who they tag (or ignore)

if they tag their ship partner and no one else, easy hard pass

if they start 16 threads and after a week they've tagged a few of them back once, there's your player who's in three other games but feels a compulsory need to highlander or join what their friends join

now there's something i haven't thought about in a hot minute, where there was that tumblr mashup of brave, tangled, how to train your dragon, and rise of the guardians simply because they all came out around in the same time.

it never got as bad as superwholock levels of fandom pompousness but it did get pretty annoying at times.

Why wouldn't it be?

what other people choose to post to their social media isn't about you or your personal feelings about it. it's about them and what they're comfortable with sharing in front of an audience. it's pretty dickish to purposefully try and make people feel uncomfortable about using plurk for its intended purpose, anon.

it's your responsibility to curate your own feed. you're an adult. unfollow, unfriend, or unplug.

sounds like you're the one who needs to go do something else if you're getting mad at people using social media like it's meant to be used

Holy shit that's a throwback

no horse in this race but i have seen enough comments here to be suspicious. no one gets this much complaints if they're innocent. case in point gsai, jamie, tifa and other wankers who flew under the radar for a long time.

plus all the whiteknighting is over the top.

eh another no-horse here but it sounds like the usual wg grumbling for verifiable deets to me

whoever said you're just gonna have to let people decide for themselves was right. if they're that bad then eventually they'll hit critical mass of burned bridges and earn themselves a callout, a la gsai.

nayrt but some of it is clearly more than the usual grumbling about no deets

the anons who tried to paint a picture of the mod team jade shittalked as unpleasant people who were always difficult and unwilling to work with the playerbase stand out as deeply off to me

it's true... and let's be honest jade is not just all up in everyone's dms but all up in wg... sadly everyone is too scared of her crazy ass to leak dms and screenshots

I think Jade and those anons are operating in a different version of reality than the rest of us.

tfw 40+ comments into this thread and still no actual details with real substance

not even any proper descriptions

give it up people can we find some new wank i'm getting bored

inb4 i get accused of being one of her friends cause we're all the same person and not just people who are looking at flatview and can clearly see it's 3 people farting really hard in a bid to create wank

ia i want deets too because where there's smoke there's fire lbr (and im nosy + on flatview lol)

tbh as someone with no horse in this race it p much reeks of people trying hard to set a fire but not having anything legit to back it beyond petty experiences

like if any of this was real you'd circulate the caps to other people. alisa was complained about and got struck out immediately. same goes for all the other wankers that got mentioned. nothing has happened here and it's pretty obvious a solid 3 people at most saying the same things over and over again with nothing explicit to corroborate it. prolly cause it could get disproven easily. logically many of us would have seen something by now it's not like dwrpers are known for keeping their mouths shut or their caps to themselves.

idk i'm not buying it and it's getting boring. i know people here want wank to kick around really bad but can we stop buying into stuff that's got no teeth to it.

you sound invested, meanwhile i just want gossip bc this is wg

wouldn't say i'm invested in her personally but as someone who's had people make up batshit lies about me that couldn't be corroborated whatsoever because most of our interactions in this hobby are via written word and can thus be proven or disproven, i'm mostly just compelled to call out bullshit i've seen done to me

but yeah this is gossipville and even the mods are clearly over it considering we're still using captcha

a flatview anon here who hasnt been in a game in a while

whats the difference between private venting to a friend about someone or something that annoys you and shit talking these days?

because it sounds like shit talking is now a term for 'petty complaining about someones take you dont vibe with' and that happens all the time

i think w this situation we will see deets eventually considering so many people seem mad at her + it was in a game etc etc

someone just has to get mad enough/brave enough to dish the deets basically, and it always happens. i'm so curious bc it's been going on for a while now and her friend (?) got shut down. wankers love other wankers.

I think the implication they're trying to circulate is the shit talking was to try and organize their friend group into shutting out the victim, if you can't get tags in a game you're done, or something. We've all lost the script here
