The OOC RP Discussion Meme

[How To]

1. Discuss anything to do with RP-ing - Plots you want to try out, characters, characterization, head canon/fan theories, game ideas, meme ideas, fic and fanart ideas, AU and crossover ideas, Verse/PSL ideas, etc, etc. Game and comm promotions are fine, too.

2. Comments can be anon or non-anon, it's up to you.

3. Please do not bash, flame or name drop any mun or game in a negative fashion. No wanking, please!

4. Have fun!

Cocktail meme. Because some cocktails have *really* weird names, and I'm not even talking Sex On The Beach.

Choose your own adventure meme.

Your life as a cartoon character meme. Complete with having to write out sound effects or characters defying gravity as long as they don't look down.

80's Meme?

[(Anonymous)]

I know I've seen one around before a long time ago, but would love an 80's meme. The one I remember didn't have that many options, so maybe an extended one?

Game Ideas

[(Anonymous)]

Fate/extra based RP

[(Anonymous)]

A Fate/Extra based RP. Not like the other Fate based games I've seen, which are more action based, but more mystery based (Moon Cell is breaking down--who, why, how, is it even malfunctioning?). Lacks the "trying to get home" aspect many RP games unfortunately have.

Some liberties taken from the source material in favor of Rule of Fun. Good idea or bad idea?

PSL planning and ideas

I've recently gotten into the Teen Wolf fandom and I'd love to be able to make an oc to play against Stiles. I think he's gotten shafted in terms of relationships and I'd like to start out something slow with one, not something that jumps immediately into "TRUE LOVE".

I'd like to be able to make a feline shapeshifter to play against him, since I very much hope the show introduces some later on.

I left bakerstreet for a few months to try asian ent rp and come back to find it almost dead. what happened? ):

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but some other sites are yoinking the new memes and posting them without backlinks.

FAVORITE MEME SOCKS

[(Anonymous)]

if any?

[(Anonymous)]

Do you mean favorite people who post memes??

[(Anonymous)]

I hate that stupid hamster picture.

[(Anonymous)]

You have no soul.

[(Anonymous)]

sure is a lot of whining in here

people are "childish" for posting memes they want to play in? bullshit. they have as much right to post as anyone. if you want a meme, you have the right to post it, too.

just because someone isn't passive like you fucks doesn't mean they're bad.

[(Anonymous)]

But when they post the same meme that was posted last week that everyone already played in or another version of "YOU ATE A THING NOW YOU WANT TO FUCK" it gets kind of annoying. How many times a month do we need to have Three Types of Love?

We're not saying people should never post what they want, but it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer before posting the same meme again. There are memes I like to play in, but I'm not going to repost them every week.

[(Anonymous)]

SLOW THE FUCK DOWN ON MEMES.

+all the numbers

[(Anonymous)]

A. FUCKING. MEN.

I don't know if it's been particularly obnoxious lately, or if I'm just getting really really sick of it, but SERIOUSLY. I am starting to really dislike most of the meme posters. They're either not reading what's already there, or they just don't care. But there have been several love/smut memes with little variation posted one after another after another after another.

[(Anonymous)]

for every time you guys complain, i post more of the same shipping and smut memes

[(Anonymous)]

How mature. That will show them, choking our own comm to death.

[(Anonymous)]

...wow this is a terrible time to ask, but would anyone be interested in a bakerstreet-style community for JUST shipping/smut memes. maybe that could take some of the bulk off of bs, too?

[(Anonymous)]

We tried that a while ago but it didn't really work.

Since we're all worked up about it now, it might fly now.

[(Anonymous)]

Why can't we limit the amount of memes to like 1-2 posts a day or less, put moderated posting on and not allowed people to repost the same meme for at least 30 days. It would get people to tag around, which is the biggest problem here. I never get people tagging me back on a meme without prior ooc arrangement and when I tag out (which is almost every meme I post in) they almost always drop it within five comments. If we had this stuff limited, people would actually concentrate on the meme they're doing instead of hopping to the next shiny.

If people want to do stuff now without having to wait on memes, then maybe we should go back to having DRs again so you can get instant gratification. Sure, it's easier to leave a blank comment then type up a DR post but it results in more quality tags and playing all around both in memes and DRs.

[(Anonymous)]

Moderated posting has been tried before, it didn't work really well. (Check the mod posts tag)

No one liked it, and the execution was rather poorly done. IDK, maybe with a better play or something.

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if the sws mods would be willing to up the rating from PG to something more geared for most of our characters. I know there's ssws but the clique in there makes things difficult.

[swsmod]

The point of SWS is that it is open to the entire Dreamwidth community, therefore the rating will not be changed.

If you have issues with players in SSWS, you need to address those issues with the mods there.

NEW SHIPPING/SMUT MEME COMMUNITY

[lovemod]

Hey, guys. Same anon as upthread, figuring what the heck, i'll take a swing at it.

I'd like to announce that

lovestrike

a community for shipping and smut-themed memes, is now open!

...ish.

I still need to hammer out some details, obviously, but posting is open now.

I'd also like to ask you guys if there are any particular rules or anything like that you'd like to see enforced, as well as ideas for how to make this work/how to advertise.

[(Anonymous)]

Hooray! Thanks for doing this. I don't really ever post memes, but I participate in them with my characters. My thoughts are just to have the same general rules places like bakerstreet has.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like to see a meme where once you post as your character someone replies with a sketch/or random art they've found of said character. It'd be cool with OC's because it'd be nice to see how other artists perceive them perhaps.

Just a thought

[(Anonymous)]

You mean like this one? http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/679132.html

[gjmods]

Just so everyone knows...

genjoint

Is public and open to memes that are NON-SHIPPY in nature. This doesn't mean you can't post R-Rated prompts or things that mention shipping, it's just a community where shipping is not the main feature.

And it needs other people posting memes to it. The rules are really very simple to follow and anyone can post.

[(Anonymous)]

Would anyone be interested in a game that allowed OCs as well as fandom characters? I'm thinking something like characters from books, tv, movies with no cartoon, anime, marvel verse, comics (excluding The Walking Dead), video games.

I rarely see any games that allow OCs and most are filled with characters from video games and comics. I've seen plenty of games around for them.
