Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

i heard the female-to-male ratio in this game is terrible. is it difficult to find people who would be willing to play f/m??? if there are any players currently in the game who would like to give some insight, feel free!! just an anon who is thinking of applying here in the future

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

i can only speak for myself but i'll enthusiastically play f/m and would love to see more women in the game

did you mean to post this on rpa and get lost...

anyway

https://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/95632.html?thread=277867664#cmt277867664 according to here there's plenty of bi dudes there and active f players do apparently get play. looks like another classic case of getting out what you put in etc

i had to drop due to rl but i played a guy and i would have loved to have more girls around for f/m because i actually prefer to play my guy off girls smut-wise.

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

[(Anonymous)]

most of my smut are m/f right now, so i would definitely welcome more girls. i hope we have rp chemistry.

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

a big part is that sadly many of our idles and drops have been women while we’re capped. people def want to play with them! if you’re around and responsive you would definitely get play. please tdm if nothing else! 🙏

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

Always wanting f/m and never f/f

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

has anyone just seen the announcements for golden peacock.... https://www.plurk.com/p/3fv4i1loqt idk how to feel about this. i was hoping to apply but it feels almost impossible since i don't know anybody in game who would vouch for me

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

me too. i'm a nobody and so is the character i wanted to app so i won't bother trying. i get why they're doing it but it's still a disappointment

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

[(Anonymous)]

i’m kind of curious how current players are feeling about this

i think the wait list for apps is a good idea. but I think it’s a bad idea to place the burden of invites on players when there’s been an intense amount of interest in this game.

they could have accomplished the same thing just by having a wait list.

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

In the long distant past I've seen other huge games try to lock down to limitations like caps and invite policies and their playerbases and prospective players acted like they were cliquish for daring to keep people out, so they didn't go through with it. Then I watched the mods burn out and those same games gradually imploded under their own weight or their mods just eventually burnt out and had to close down.

The game is immensely popular and going invite-only, capping, and waitlisting it is the smartest thing they can do, given the interest. Anyone that complains about that isn't factoring in the lessons learned from some of the dead mega-games of RP past. The more popular it is, the more methods they're justified in using to lock it down, including using multiple methods simultaneously.

It's disappointing but it's the trolley problem. The health of a game for the majority matters more than some players having to find their fun elsewhere.

It sucks but with how popular the game is, I don't think the mods can sustain it as an open game so it makes sense. Another sex game is opening up so anons can try that one instead.

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

as a prospective player, i don't like it, but i completely understand why they chose to do it like this and i don't think they were going to find a solution that made everyone happy and didn't drown them in work. i'm not going to bother trying to app anymore, but honestly, i think that's for the best for me and the game. they have a set group of players and an atmosphere they're happy with and that makes me feel like it would have been an uphill struggle for someone who didn't have a friend group going in.

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

it's a little disappointing but i'm going to post in the tdm anyways once a new one pops up. hopefully someone will be nice enough to extend an invite

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

[(Anonymous)]

Invites open on June 1 but the TDM doesn't even go up until June 15. With only 20 (ish) spots available, this really reads as being set up so that only current players' friends can get invites, which is boring and disappointing.

[(Anonymous)]

love the mods deciding if someone's hiatus is trivial or not. i get it, they don't want people abusing the system but it comes across as a bit much.

[(Anonymous)]

Not when people have been abusing the shit out of hiatuses lmao

Re: GOLDEN PEACOCK

I wasn't expecting that soundwave to get an invite
