Explanation: Canon vs Non-Canon Roleplay; Cloak Roleplay Etiquette

[Madvillain]

Bring back ''roleplay for the sake of roleplay'' without it being weaponized against a rival ID or for the specific benefit of your own. Normalize the fact that RP without a goal is not a waste of your time. Yes we are adults now, but you can still write stuff without expecting something in return. When there is nothing ''on the line'' for doing or not doing it.

I am sorry, I do not remember the name who mentioned this before, but disco RP for a long time now has been following the trent of AAA video game industry where every single game is a product for a monetary goal, rather than a passion project.
Might be that Disco has become so condensed that the people who do RP are vets who just want to one-up one another in RP quality or consequences, while missing the point of an RP server and community entirely. You are RPing with other people, you are not RPing against them.

This is something I think the server has struggled with for a while now and was a factor in me playing less and less. Remembering that there is a fellow player and person behind the pixel ships would be good for all. This is a universe we are building together in the end, and I think disco will be best when the community acts like one and treats other players with respect. If we cannot extend basic empathy to the other players in this sandpit, the player count will wither away as people seek out other games they enjoy more, where their time and effort is respected.

In my experience this actually vastly improved in the last five years. Disco cliques used to be way more toxic and childish towards eachother.
