ok, so i've made a character

i have to make threads now? ? ? bro wtf

I switched to a nocturnal schedule for work and now 95% of posts and discord chat happens while I'm asleep

if you ain't got anything good to say, don't say anything amirite

I probably would've said a few years ago that sure, length isn't the be-all end-all - but that a high-level character blah blah strong blah blah important blah blah should have some massive multi-thousand word history, at least.

Holy shit was I wrong, 'length is an important consideration when making characters with strong powers...' Why? Literally why should the length of an app have anything to do what kind of things you do or don't accept? Do you want people to post massive slogs of an app that details every single that every happened to them? You want to read all that, regardless of whether it's well written or not?

Length ought to have practically zero correlation to 'importance'. Even the concept that higher-level powers and things should have longer explanations as a justification just serves to push people into making massively long apps.

Besides, Discord has made it so that idk 9/10 of the apps you grade are from people who you've spoken to or at least tangentially know or could ask someone else about.

I'd go more into player bias in grading and all that, but that's really an entirely different discussion altogether.

p.s. I'm also starting to see why some people vehemently hate hard stats and even greatly prefer no stats at all to light, though I wouldn't go that far

for the love of god you haven't posted ic on that character for 5 months just give me the fc

alas i hate engaging in drama, it's only fun to watch, so i'll just find a new one

anyone have any recommendations for finding fcs? i used zerochan but they borked it and now you need to specify a series to sort by popular

Idk I kinda miss absurd forum drama

why spend a hundred dollars on a sick ass skin when i can spend hundreds of hours and get a mediocre one instead

lets goooooo

lmao true

Alternatively, there's nothing wrong with having a smaller hyper-focused rp with a handful of people you know well - it's how I got started and it worked better than most (?) sites I've been on. I saw you've got that panfandom thing in that vein going, I've never done panfan before (though i may soonish idk the idea is warming on me) but I wish you luck with it!

Honestly, should just bait-and-switch the Discord crowd

"Totally normal and legit 'literate' Discord Rp"

"Where are the RP channels?"

"Oh yeah uh we had some controversy or something idk so we moved all IC to a forum so a rogue Discord mod can't delete people's stuff"
