tmw you try to pick up a game and when you do a horror event people go on anon comms to cry about "of course its horror, it's deca"
It's Just Deca

It's Just Deca

God of Brats

Pixmas

It's Just Deca

crown another
people are. so bad to mods.
crown another
people are so bad at looking at what a game's premise is and tone before apping too...

.........I don't remember this, so I might have bailed before then which actually makes me sad. To this day, RP is just a life long search for good horror games for me.
It's Just Deca
i tried not to like
It's Just Deca
address anon comms
It's Just Deca
or my issues publicly
It's Just Deca
so if you weren't like. looking for it you might never have seen it

Know that you would have gotten praise from me.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE POST-APOCALIPTIC SEX HORROR GAME HORRIFYING.
It's Just Deca
<3 i appreciate it
It's Just Deca
but yeah idk it was very "they're mods so it's fine to shittalk them publicly where everyone can see, doesn't matter that we're plurk friends"
WANDERER
SO I KNOW THIS IS A HORROR STORY PLURK BUT THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT MADE ME REALIZE WE PLAYED TOGETHER BEFORE HOLY SHIT!! I WAS JOSUKE!! I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS YOU
It's Just Deca
HAHA YOU FORGOT MEEEE
It's Just Deca
Carvaka was SO fun to play in, but it was Hell Modding
WANDERER
I DID I'M SO SORRY
It's Just Deca
WANDERER
Like i remembered you and our threads but i forgot your ooc name BECAUSE I'M BAD
It's Just Deca
That's fair, tbh, I have such a bad memory for names
WANDERER
I'M SO SORRY BUT NOW I'M TRIPLE DELIGHTED BY PLAYING TOGETHER AGAIN!!!
It's Just Deca
Haze Arquebus
oh shit
WANDERER
But yes modding is hell.i was just so excited
It's Just Deca
Carvaka has most of my horror stories and they were almost all in regards to modding, it just feels like.... too... recent??? Idk
It's Just Deca
it isnt recent though
Haze Arquebus
WANDERER : i don't think we ever got to play proper in carvaka but i thiiiiiink we might have intended to?? i was lina there

modding is hell

time is fake reality is a myth buy gold
It's Just Deca
There was a small group of people who had all the plot access and when you try to spread it around suddenly everyone accuses you of favoritism
It's Just Deca
then you get the co-mod who was super spiteful to players who got to be the sole mod when i stepped down and they changed every password before i was even officially out
It's Just Deca
and then the game just immediately died because they never posted again
It's Just Deca
Asidian
Oh nooo, I'm so sorry

that's such a sad death to a game...
It's Just Deca
my Ancient History horror story was the time some bitch playing Axel tried to run me out of a game because i was taking their Ship Time with the Roxas by being a villain by....... saying i was ooc.... and admitting they didnt know the canon in the same cOMMENT
It's Just Deca
this was many years ago so we were probably like. Children
WANDERER
onwingsofvalor: I REMEMBER!!
WANDERER
Also i had no idea things were so tough behind the scenes
It's Just Deca
but now i am like "please just tell me if i do a thing you dont like i am fine with. changing things"
WANDERER
That sounds legit stressful
It's Just Deca
it was honestly horrific
It's Just Deca
I loved writing events
the krampus
event writing is fucking great but i swore i'd never mod a game again
It's Just Deca
And giving people hints and clues and things to do
Haze Arquebus
and then most of us found out and were just fuck this shit, we out
It's Just Deca
But I have no heart left for modding
It's Just Deca
If I get paid to do it, I'd do it again, but it'd have to be the kind of pay i get from a full-time job
It's Just Deca
Because like. I am a supervisor right now, so my job is actually managing people
It's Just Deca
And I CAN do it in a professional, unbiased manner
It's Just Deca
but it takes a lot of mental energy that i can't spare
Haze Arquebus
time to start a patreon
Haze Arquebus
/no
It's Just Deca
starts a patreon

DWRP's attitude toward mods is so bitchy and entitled. I'm not surprised that there's been such a game drought. People want to anon mod or run private, invite-only games and I genuinely can't blame them.
It's Just Deca
i will only mod as long as i am making a living wage off of this
Alice
I'm really sorry that you had deal with that nonsense.
♦ DWDB-221E ♦
honestly considering running games does often hvae some kind of cost overhead it's like
♦ DWDB-221E ♦
why NOT start a patreon.
It's Just Deca
it's true!!! I just am annoyed bcuz they DEMAND PROFESSIONAL LEVEL management
It's Just Deca
and we do it for nothing
It's Just Deca
we dont ask for money or favoritism
It's Just Deca
we just want a game so we run it for everyone
It's Just Deca
I have also run a private game and it was a lot of fun, i just burned out of writing
It's Just Deca
i run outta ideas
It's Just Deca
I love modding when it is good, but i am too tired to deal w/ it when it is bad
Alice
Yeah, that can be a problem, too. One thing I've noticed is that DWRP seems to think that every mod must have infinite creative energy and ideas at all times and it's like, honey, modding just doesn't work that way.
Alice
When you're doing professional level management work for free, something going to give somewhere.
It's Just Deca
honestly my big thing was i was shit at upkeep
It's Just Deca
AC, Taken pages, that kind of thing
Alice
Upkeep is hard on top of everything else.
It's Just Deca
even reading over apps. Not my strong suit
Alice
Yeah, I never liked processing apps either when I modded.
Alice
And that was for OC games. It must be a lot harder with panfandom and you're canonblind to a lot that comes in.
It's Just Deca
gosh yeah
It's Just Deca
i am honestly inclined to be like "accept anyone who has the ability to write" because i also.............. dont rly care if someone is ooc
Alice
I tend to have a vague bar that's basically, "show me you've put thought in and know your character and the canon"
Alice
and that's more out of courtesy toward player's potential castmates than me caring if anyone's perfectly IC.
It's Just Deca
yeah
Alice
but with panfandom, I don't feel comfortable judging apps for things I'm canonblind in because I don't feel qualified? and it's unreasonable to expect a mod to be savvy in every canon out there.
It's Just Deca
yeah, even if you can research it, you will only get so much
Alice
And fandom wikis can very inaccurated. That also takes times and energy to do that mods don't always have.
Alice
I've thought about trying to run like an small panfandom thing but I haven't been able to get past how I would process apps in a way that would minimize future headaches.
Alice
I do think that if I did ever run something, I'd make the player write out their own history. Like that's the only thing I've really decided on.
It's Just Deca
that's fair i think
mitzi
oh noooo
mitzi
i never got to join carvaka but i LOVED the premise
mitzi
horror is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's Just Deca
the premise was GREAT and honestly unpopular opinion but i miss fuck or die games
mitzi
i do too
It's Just Deca
I always play awful horny bastards who use it as an excuse to be awful and horny but you know
Alice
yeah, that, the personality section, abilities, and samples would give me the information I'd need to be able to clear an app even if I was canonblind, I think
Alice
Carvaka sounded interesting. That was the Ai no Kusabi based one, wasn't it?
It's Just Deca
i do not know ai no kusabi, but it was the one where sex fueled belief and belief was what created literally anything because the universe had ended
Alice
Oh! I was thinking of Tanagura. That was the one with the hair colors. Carvaka sounds like a great concept for a sex game though.
It's Just Deca
oh boy the one with the hair colors...... i am made uncomf about 'forced caste systems' in games
It's Just Deca
but yeah the concept was neat and allowed for characters without canon powers to be VERY IMPORTANT
It's Just Deca
and nerfed characters with powers enough to make them only make so much damage
Alice
that's understandable! I mostly just remembered it because I watched Ai no Kusabi back in the early 2000s which had a caste system based on hair color
Nammah!
I loved your events Deca, it was so much fun...but yeah....mod work is hard....
It's Just Deca
It's Just Deca
one day I'll write events again but that's it
It's Just Deca
just events forever
Nammah!
Many event, only event
Nammah!
I will agree, events are fun to write
Nammah!
WANDERER Also sorry hi, just waving at you since I played Masaki at Carvaka
Alice
haha, I've thought about running like.. one shot events on a musebox for a while. Like a mini-jamjar experience.
Alice
No longterm committment to modding while still scratching the itch.
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
i was in tanagura and it was really good, respect being s quicked by ic caste systems though
вσиє αвуѕѕ ∂υѕт
i too wish more fuck or die games were around tbh
WANDERER
Nammah! : hello!!!
WANDERER
also i too miss fuck or die games
WANDERER
andi i very much remember carvaka's events fondly like that's part of why i'm so surprised there was shit around (though surprised is not the right word because people are entitled so that's bound to happen)
WANDERER
i genuinely was like THIS IS GOOD STUFF!!!
Nammah!
It's good to see you again, hope you're doing good!...now I will slither out of Deca's plurk
It's Just Deca
<3
It's Just Deca
i honestly do remember a lot of carvaka fondly, which is why i was so burned
It's Just Deca
because oofta. when something you love hurts you it is so much worse
