[Meme] Unpopular DWRP Opinions

- premises are unique and detailed
- mods promptly answer any player queriesin formal wording
- games are frequent and abundant
Pick two, tops.

pick two i believe are true?

pick two to expect from games

if you want lots of games with unique and detailed premises, expect most of them to be modded by people who don't have a ~professional~ answer ready for every question

if you want lots of mods who give you quick and very formal answers, get ready for that to be accomplished by most settings not being extremely unique and detailed

why do the answers need to be formal tho

and if you demand every game have a unique and detailed premise that the mods are prepared to immediately answer every possible question about to your satisfaction, there aren't going to be a lot of people willing to mod that way

Andrusi has correctly deduced what I believe

to be what is basically going on in the games landscape rn

i think they're just referring to a common complaint

that mods are 'unprofessional'

As for why the answers "need" to be formal, I'll say that is the one I would unpick for myself!!

not that answers have to be formal it's just people will jump at any sign of lack of polish

But literally sometimes mods are even dinged for not getting back to players the same day or for admitting they're not sure how to deal with something

WIGHTY IS BRINGING IT BACK
Though I didn't want to say "unprofessional" mostly because I feel that can go on the direction of mods legitimately engaging in behaviour more like bullying or teasing

basically don't be a karen

like in the slang sense, I mean

it's fine to be a sword magical girl who enjoys grape juice

you can be this kind and I mean it unironically

Like, communicating with the mods is a tool! A very useful tool! But do not bludgeon them lol

Okay, I'm throwing in a second opinion

I think that the community needs to move beyond "it's OOC" as our main tool of criticizing other players

OBVIOUSLY, sometimes characters are majorily OOC and it's a problem, no denying that. However, the approach has some obvious pitfalls right out the gate

1. What if it's an OC? This is used as a reason to not invite them, and obviously dissatisfies many people
2. What if you have a problem with a character, but they're IC?

Basically, I've been on both sides of such situations many times. And I can confidently say that EVERY situation I've observed had a problem that you could ALSO describe in other ways.

"You're tagging just your ship partner!!" Well, that could be canon! But it would still suck in a big group RP!

"Why are you bringing up this triggering topic?" Well, maybe the player has different experiences from you so it made sense to them. But they're still not using warnings well and in turn triggering other people

So, that's my thoughts. We should be vulnerable about our own desires and goals for RP and what we want from others if we're going to make demands to them.
