Hi there! This is a new oc and semi-appless rp that is pre-apocalyptic but will develop towards an apocalyptic roleplay through plot drops in the future... I was wondering if I could bother you for an opinion, please? Thank you in advance and just to be careful: there's a trigger warning for images of guns on the main page!
hiya, peaches !! before i start with the opinion, i want to say thank you for putting a trigger warning! it’s very thoughtful of you, and i appreciate that in admins. but yes, let’s begin. first, the url: it’s short and to the point, and i like that it only gives me a vague idea of what the rp might be about. second, the icon: i like it, although i feel like it would be better if you used the same psd on it that you’ve used on your sidebar graphics on the main? but yes, it’s not an eyesore at all, so that’s good. third, the theme: i really, really like it, to be honest. often, themes that have red and black as their main colours look a bit icky (?) to me, but you’ve made the colours look absolutely beautiful. also, i love love love your graphics. i’m not a big fan of the font you used on the main sidebar, but that’s just a thingy little thing. fourth, the plot: apocalypse-y plots aren’t usually my thing, but i got really hooked to the plot thanks to the way you wrote it. it sounds really interesting, and i feel like the mix of containment and pre-apocalypse things will make everything really interesting for the roleplayers. i love it, basically. also, kudos for putting trigger warnings in there! (edit: i just noticed the page explaining the virus, and that makes things even better, i’m in tears.) fifth, the rules: they’re to the point while covering everything important, which is great! i also love how you have a link to a page in which triggers will be listed so they can be tagged. one little thing, though. i’ve seen more and more admins stating in their rules that no writing smut under the age of 18 will be allowed in their roleplay, and i feel like it’s a good idea. that way, if your members do shitty stuff like that, no one can blame you for not letting them know that it’s, well, illegal to do so. sixth, the characters: i like that there’s diversity in your ‘most wanted’ list! it’s a good step towards making sure that your rp isn’t all cis white charas. also, it’s a good thing that your application format includes both the gender and preferred pronouns of the characters! obviously, i can’t tell much more about the charas since this is an oc roleplay, but yes! all in all, i think that this is a great roleplay, and i wish you all the best! i definitely recommend this to everyone who loves rps about zombies and apocalypses !!
