when ppl don't read any site info threads before writing an app:



my real confession here is that i really dislike writing pends to apps bc i know that ppl can feel demoralized or judged by them (i do take pains to word them with as patient/understanding of a tone as possible and i only send mine via private PM so ppl don't feel publically called out), but i also remember being that admin that was too afraid to tell ppl they needed to change things and i refuse to be that person again ;')

moral of the story is stick to your guns, and if ppl get so mad at a kindly worded request to adjust some details that they decide to leave then you're probably better off w/o them
Honestly, a great way to do it (imo) is to maybe compliment them in someway in the message? Idk, I personally get giddy whenever a staff  member leaves a little note about my app in their approval message, so having one in a pending message might encourage them to keep at it?

are vrmmo sites still popular? cause i'd love one    

I think they're kinda out of the current trend rn. There was one a little while ago (Endorrain or something like that) that recently removed the whole "VRMMO" and just took place in the world the VRMMO was originally about, adapting it to a more D&D system.

That said....
I still want a VRMMO

I dont HATE it...but I dont LIKE it either. I'm a lazy person who doesn't like using templates that require different images beyond the standard icon. So, when given like 5 templates to choose from, and only one has and single 100x100 icon...my options are limited as hell.

But it isn't a dealbreaker.

idk quarantine thoughts i guess.

  • deities/gods-personified: think of noragami where they have a human form where they can be seen by people and have to live among them. they also have a transcended version with a physical appearance that is a bit different that they can phase to unlock the full potential of their powers - but only other divine beings can see them. they carry the seed of the god they personify - which means that they can die and are not immune to harm and the seed would find a new home to occupy.

  • metropolitan city: i don't really like small cities or strictly one area or the other but what if it was a metropolitan city where the gods were drawn to (for obvious purposes such as council, or maybe a training grounds to regain powers on new body after death etc) and you can do what-ever you want to do. you can also plot with whoever you wanted to because they can probably sense each other so even the most polar opposites would have a reason to meet?

  • maybe SOL with optional combat: ok i am not imagining this to be a stats-fest or anything too complicated. however, i am imagining them to be able to have a weapon of their chosing that they can summon, and attack with their powers inflicted upon it. (e.g a spear or bow user that can use shadows etc) would probably go DnD style with dice-rolls and allow a lot of overpowered stuff because anime power fantasy but yeah. maybe something like noragami where there would be demons or devils as counterparts? maybe a tournament event? (idk i just watched

  • sandbox/semi-serious: alright i will be honest that i don't expect this to be the most staff-heavy site to be, nor overly complex, but maybe council politics, maybe a semi-school thing, maybe crusaders as guardians, who knows. just what you make it out to be and what you want it to be.

  • soft restrictions: probably deities, myths, superstitions and folklore allowed to be played. if there is a demand humans wouldn't be bad either but its not something i'd love to spread too thin over and have demons, devils, classes, canons and just-- i don't want to overwhelm anyone tbh, just pick something and you should be fine. also thinking one-god-per-character meaning only one apollo etc but who knows if it would bite me later on tbh. (though there are a ton of deities so i am thinking not but??)


i really dont know what i'm writing anymore fam, just find me in dms or vera#0530 on discord ig. this is the most cookie cutter noragami-but-not style of interest check ive ever written.

bro I would DIE for noragami/god rp. I want the drama of having a zeus-like character runnin' around LOL

Is anyone feeling a nice chill highschool rp??

A lot of the currently active animanga rps I see rn are just supernatural/action/futuristic settings, and while that's perfectly a-ok...I just want to rp a cute coffee date. Or just have some bit of gossip be the main villain. IDK
not sure this is the input ur looking for but it might help (?)

i try 2 keep an eye on the sites that r coming up and HS in gen feels like it has fallen out of flavor if ur not doing Boku no Hero.

what most people do these days is join a site they're interested in or that looks smooth and create a high schooler. they'll make a wanted ad or plotter for these students and do ur typical SoL threads and hs stuff within the world of that site. 

u'd b surprised how many people do coffee dates regardless of the setting. 
Yeah, that's true! It's just that I think a big allure of high school rps is the simplicity of it. I like the idea of "gossip" being the biggest thing everyone has to worry about. I remember there being a celebrity rp a while back that did this 10/10.



It's a shame slice of life is kinda not in rn, but eh that's just how it is ig
