February EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the last Saturday of every month

FOR GAME ADS:

Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed.

PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad.

FOR GAME QUESTIONS:

RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme.

This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be screened and/or deleted.

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join.

There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL/1-on-1 section, where you post the canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above.

If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be screened.

IN GENERAL:

Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be screened.

MOD CONTACT:

If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Beth has three superpowers--she can create illusions by singing, manipulate scars and cracks, and heal people (but she gets all their pain in the process). You can read more about them in the powers section of my permissions post.

As far as the pace of the game goes, it really depends on what you're interested in doing and how much you want to take on. You only need two sets of AC for the month--3 log comments, 8 network comments, 15 inbox comments, or open posts/logs--so you're not looking at high bars there. The start of any given month tends to have a lot of network posts, as characters get into the game and get settled, and then there's a monthly swearing-in ceremony for superhero stuff and some kind of plot thing.

Depending on what casts you interact with, things can move a little fast, but you really only have to take on as much as you'd like. I feel like a lot of games are presented as "well, you can choose your own pace," but it's genuinely the case with MoM, in my experience; it's possible to start working with metaplot / plot to overthrow the government / &cet., but it's also possible to play the game in pure slice-of-life mode and still make AC without difficulty. (Beth's a little bit in between. I haven't had her engage much with the metaplot, because let's be real, girl is TIRED of completely bananas life-risking, she wants to go out with friends and get her GED and play with the puppy she got for Christmas. However, she's slowly investigating the possibility of doing Actual Superhero Stuff, which might lead to more metaplot in the future.)

All tl;dr aside, I hope that helps a little! Let me know if you have any other questions. ♥

Thanks for the info! I've taken a long break from playing Rick, and I wouldn't mind getting back into it with him again, but we'll see if I toss him at any games. MoM looks like a lot of fun, and it helps that he'd have a castmate! \o\

But I'll keep checking the game out and read up about it and see what happens. Thanks again!

Absolutely! Feel free to PM me if you've got any other questions (MoM's info pages were a little intimidating to me at first, I defs. had to ask other people about stuff myself), and consider the TDM! It'd be awesome to have a Rick, and if you kept playing him from s2, the dissonance of time differences would be a lot of fun, haha.

I think I might start by putting him on the TDM and see how that works out! The game looks like fun, and I think I could manage the AC pretty well. no idea what sort of superpowers I'd give him, but...

Sounds good! I've got work today, but I'll do my best to answer your top-level tonight. And if you need help with the superpowers, we can defs. brainstorm that sometime. ♥

Do you have plurk or discord, by any chance? I'd love to chat and/or brainstorm powers ideas.
