that "a good rper would..." take is stupid. somebody wants to be a good rper? have fun and do tags. there's not much more to it, especially on a meme comm where nobody can make anybody tag anybody

no, being able to say for certain that you know the threads someone linked for ac were their only threads for the month is strange, because it implies that they are looking at every post in the game to count someone else's comments. which is taking a game way too seriously. if someone made ac you need to leave it alone.

lots of people just link the longest or the most recent because not everyone can stay on top of thread trackers. being this aware of other people's rp to claim that they know someone dropped all their other threads or whatever is actually weird.

i'm with the "this is weird" people

it is a game and presumably the players in it are adults who are having fun, they are not causing wank, they are just not visibly exceeding ac enough times for a non-mod party to be happy with it

namedropping anyone on friggin wankgate for using a hiatus pass or clearing a strike a way you don't like is a you problem, like are you seriously trying to get people to call out players who are correctly following game mechanics? if you have cr and have an issue with a player you could talk to them, but if you're just circling the waters waiting for a drop you probably need to touch some grass

and if this is just grudgewank, my bad, sorry

counting other people's comments in a game is far from observing your environment for safety, are u ok

is this thread not just trolling in the first place, surely nobody cares this much about a slot in a game that they judge the pretendy fun time games timing patterns of other adults

i mean okay six months of not playing is ridiculous but the rest of it

it can't really be big news to people that many rpers are not looking to practice writing skills, but almost every rper is looking to have a good time, right?

not to say people can't do both. but those looking to this hobby to hone their writing skills above all else are in the minority, and probably also the wrong place. yeah rp can be good writing, no question, but it's out of touch to call that the

you can do what you want, but most people here demonstrably don't want to write with someone who's so bad at writing it's actually noticeable. as in, they stand out on bakerstreet as a bad writer

but again, you're allowed to tag them

i'm a bit surprised by wg's sudden decision to defend squatters all of a sudden because there ARE people in games who repeatedly, month after month, post about needing help to make ac in the last week of the month. if you've got someone like that added to your plurk or you're in a group discord or whatever, it's going to get noticed eventually.

at the end of the day, people can do what they want, but some people are going to think it's a dick move in capped cast or a capped game.

...and people judge others for the pettiest of shit, surely that's not news? like, come on, look at where you are.

idc about either, i just think it's funny when people comment shit like "b-b-but why doesn't wg agree with me, i thought we hated squatters :'("

(Anonymous) 2024-11-11 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, that's what i was saying? that people should have fun tagging the way they and those they're rping with want?

maybe because i don't rp on bakerstreet, i'm missing something where this person's writing is bad to the point of being incomprehensible and hard to tag with, but what people are saying here is this person a bad rper because they sacrifice characterization for kink

okay, sure. who cares? i don't doubt they do that. i bet they're having fun doing it, too. clearly you wanted it to be the case that i rp with them so i'm defending them, but i hate to tell you: people can be uninvolved with what offends you and still think your take is dumb

and let's be real, "you can do that, most of us have standards" is a really flawed argument against "people should have fun how they want"

cannot tell if you're a little dumb or just really stubborn in your defensiveness but dude, really?

someine decided the real problem here isn't op getting tagged someone they don't tag back or the weirdness of using that as a passive-agressive flex, instead what we should be discussing that a rper who might be op doesn't care about characterization in their kinky smut rp. that was already changing the kind of conversation from "rpers are bad at social"

getting a response to your complaint of people having fun but writing poorly isn't changing the discussion just because it takes it in a direction you don't like, sorry to say

i suggest instead of watching people be dumb and bad at things, you go ahead and actually do your tags that you will enjoy. i'll help by doing the same
