It shuns away the people that dont like roleplaying or discord or whatever. so theres this tight ball of users who love each other, which shuns everyone (even the game itself) away. this wiki is now an overcrowded slum instead of a small community discussing things about roles and game related things. now it just feels like facebook as someone said. You claim that excessive roleplays brings parts of the community together too much.

I have a problem with that statement.

This is a Fandom wikia. Fandom is a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of empathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest.

​One of the easier ​ways to become friends with people is to have a common interest with them. In this case, it would be the game. Town of Salem. The more time you spend with other people, the more comfortable you are with talking to them and the more you get to know about them. Hell, even anti-social AF me can say that they are comfortable with mostly everyone (Except vandals, but we all don't like vandals) on the wikia.

Our first RP that was hosted was Dangan Ronpa on July 24, 2016. I can say before the RP game started I was already comfortable with those people, sure, our bonds grew on as we kept RPing (Because Dangan Ronpa was a hit) But we were already good friends with or without RPs

And as other people said, ToS has hit a bit of a bland spot. I have only logged in to ToS once in 6 months. And ToS doesn't really have anything much to add because it has already been added. As Uli said "It's a digitalized party game". Meaning there's nothing much to add unless a wild new update appears. So what do we do while we wait. We can make/review role ideas that will probably get rejected, host RP games/group events, or shitpost. Otherwise there's nothing much to do.

Even if we say "move shitposting and RP games elsewhere", they're still going to be happening, bringing the community together one way or another. Just where the games are is different.

And no matter what you do, shitposting is probably still going to exist, one way or another.
