good luck getting this thread frozen, neckbeards

for the heinous wank of "this is a lot and the mod might burn out"

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

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

Maybe a video essay would get rid of gsai like James Somerton

- sailor moon character that's f/f only, ironically using one of the undeniably straight(ish) characters
- non 100x100 icon
- neckbeard dogwhistles like not understanding female anatomy

somebody's trying way too hard

polling wg on this: If you are thinking about joining into a new to you game where there's a lcw, and you want to bring in a close castmate for that character do you: (1) PM the player for asking if they are fine with you to bring in the castmate and from the canon point you want, or do you (2) app them anyway from whatever canon point and let the other player work out how to deal with it if it makes their character hard to play since that's not your character or problem?

i would pm them. not because i need their permission but because i want to know if they're annoying or not.

i'd pm. it's in no way an obligation, but i'm too old for any potential passive aggression from someone i'd need to acknowledge or closely interact with. just easier to test the waters on whether we vibe before i've got actual skin in the game. plenty of other games out there, if this one doesn't work out.

1 if the player has been active but otherwise 2. If the lcw has problems and sees my reserve then they can reach out to me.

this is the funniest thread on wankgate imo

pretending like we're better than this person because they're playing their own novel's characters instead of someone else's novel's characters because something something ocs. absolute brainworms, but it probably would have flown in 2008

+1

if this is now forbidden then it's bad news for the multiple people i know who are writing novels or who have written original fiction about their dwrp ocs and who use dwrp for worldbuilding.

this is not uncommon. anyone who thinks so has been living under a rock.

i'd be on board with people saying in their info posts if they treat memes/psls as backburner or on par with game threads. no shade if someone puts threads on a hierarchy ( game plot > tdm > psl > meme or whatever), just be transparent so people can self select out if the queue is too long for their liking.

are any of the people in the tdm known wankers?? or are they just the same people from the game itself

it's actually really cool if we're helping a writer add depth to their novel characters, i think

I love being able to buy someone who gives me a little joy a little coffee or treat of equivalent value. It doesn't break the bank, it's a way to express my gratitude. I don't need to buy icons, I do it because I like to.

Memes and psls are the only way to RP and get what you truly want out of the experience.
