yeah i don't care about wankgate. i know the comments i post are bullshit and i assume all the other ones are too.

: the gonsai story

depends on what they'd been dropped for, if I had my own bad experiences with them, or if I knew trusted friends had bad experiences with them. there's dreamwidth nobodies I wouldn't rp with bc they treated friends so badly, and wankers where at least some portion of their rep seems due to grudgewankers, and for the latter I might be willing to give them a chance.

lets out a big wet nasty fart

it's so frustrating to see someone playing a fairly popular character that people flock to for tags, only for them to barely respond and only make ac by technicality. posting an open post really shouldn't count as activity if the player never replies

If your mod team cared anon, they would have said something by now

Just let it go, or drop if you can't. If they're grinding on you that badly you should probably step away anyway

there are still games that allow this? every game i've seen lately requires actual threads for activity, not just a post.

OP here and it's interesting to see all the options and reasons in this thread.

What about figuring out a good starting cap, though? Games can get bigger, or be smaller than planned.

Should games shift a cast cap to be bigger (to accommodate more players) if the game gets bigger, or shrink down a cap if the game is smaller than expected?

100% situational because you have to be able to read how much interest is still in your game and if you really want to know you'd have to see what canons people are wanting to get into your game

if you guys need wank, i have work drama if you're REALLY bored

Please, nonny! There's nothing that amuses me more than drama I have no real stake in.

dish it. we're in captcha hell and god is dead

it's generally a good idea to have at least some initial starting cap because people get really pissy if you introduce one without warning, but it is your game at the end of the day so you can do what you want. i know some mods wait to see what the opening tdm is like to make a decision. if your tdm is flooded by one cast you might want to decide to put a cap on it for instance just in case. but if it's small and slow you might not need to bother.

I think the person who suggested a percentage largely had the right idea. That way your cap can grow/shrink with your game if it balloons or deflates accordingly. Just keep a visible note on the taken page and app announcements so people are aware of its current status

peak pathetic

Gimme those deets

isn't the gimmick with hsr that a lot of cast are AUs of other honkai characters. himeko, bronya, the blonde guy carrying a coffin, a bunch of others. welt isn't even an AU but the same guy as he was in 3rd impact. imo that makes hoyoverse as valid as marvel/dc for franchise caps.

yes you can

It's literally right there if you go to their plurk profile

yeah but that just makes the honkai games (honkai impact 3rd + honkai star rail) their own specific franchise, not all of the hoyoverse. genshin, honkai, and zzz are all mihoyo-made games (hence "hoyoverse"); however, there are no genshin AUs in hsr, and zzz is also an entire verse all its own with no aus from the other hoyo games either iirc

that's a bit like saying all fire emblem games should count as one franchise because they're all made by nintendo, even though almost all fe installments are different universes that don't intersect--except for the couple games in the fire emblem series that do share a cast (ie path of radiance and radiant dawn)

Honkai impact and hsr occur in the same universe and the company confirmed genshin is connected as well. welt is the same welt from honkai impact.

the hsr bronya and silverwolf are their own individuals visually based on bronya units from honkai. there is weak canon justification hoyo just likes callbacks.

franchises is where I feel things start getting convoluted. Too many shows/versions with too many characters. To use a super popular example, Marvel is a franchise. So a franchise cap would get flooded with MCU, when there's also comics versions that have MCU counterpart, a few TV series, and now because of Disney buying things, XMen count too. Same goes with DC.

It's the same with Final Fantasy. Cloud, Squall, and Prompto couldn't have more different worlds. A Zidane has less in common with a Kefka than a Batman has with a Constantine.

I feel if you're going to do a franchise cap, you might as well just have a lower cast cap instead to avoid flooding too much from one franchise. Rather than a franchise cap for say... all Persona characters, especially when the first 2 persona games don't even get half as much attention as 3-5, all of them should just cap lower. Same with mihoyos and final fantasies and whatever canon people hate seeing too much of.

then at most, if we really wanna use that definition of what qualifies as a franchise enough to get lumped under a single cast cap, honkai and genshin should be under one cast cap

but zzz has still not been confirmed to be anywhere in the vicinity of honkai and genshin's universes, to my knowledge, despite also being a hoyoverse title. "hoyoverse" also includes smaller titles like tears of themis, which is also pretty divorced from those other titles

but anon above was implying that the entire "hoyoverse" is a single franchise that should fall under a single cast cap in a game. which, again, is about as sensible as lumping all disney properties into one cast cap
