May 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!

Ah heck, that actually sounds pretty incredible. Hercules would have a ball, and Thor would depending on the canonpoint when he's broody or not broody. Hits all the right boxes for both. And god yeah, Herc is way different from DC's Herc and a Cassie would be pretty incredible.

Couple more questions since I checked the comm and it seems pretty active:

What are the events like? And AC? AC isn't a big deal but I do like to know what I'm getting into. Also what are app periods like? I see it's a small, capped game.

The events alternate between plots and action and mellower "camp" periods where people can simmer down between plots and work on their CR. Instead of having a set game location where people can do downtime threading, the game has those periods in a new camp each time. There's also occasionally times where they get the chance to grill npcs for info.

An example for plots: the last big plot was an attack on Weathertop, where they had to fight off Nazgul, dementors, and Death Eaters, who were trying to capture them for their various evil masters. They had to get free and make a run for the woods. Originally, the Nazgul were going to follow but Hiccup's player had Hiccup lead some characters into scaring off their horses and the mods decided to let that decision influence things so that they got away without being chased. (We try to let player decisions influence our responses as much as we can, since it's very easy to do in a small game.)

Periodically there are also "crossroads" posts where the gang comes to a crossroads, is given different glimpses of what each path leads to, and the characters have to debate and ICly decide where to go next, leaving some of the choices of what plots/settings they face in their hands.

As for AC, the AC cycle runs over two months and is fairly easy.

https://wildermods.dreamwidth.org/5580.html

It's pretty flexible in what kind of proofs you can use to make AC. It's more rewards-based than punitive. Someone putting in the bare minimum means they can stay in game but more activity lets your characters' powers grow or lets them get genuinely useful items in the setting.

And apps are rolling. As long as some player slots are open, you can app in. If there are no slots, new player apps get put in a wait queue and get approved or denied as slots open up. Right now, we have a few player slots open, though, so anyone apping in would get in right away.

Alright. And looking at it, the powers section seems pretty in depth and complex. Hercules doesn't really have that many actual powers other than being an Olympian and being Strong.

But if I'm reading this right, I could have him lose them to gain magic? Or keep them but nerfed, or take a magic weapon.
konman: (001)

[personal profile] konman 2018-05-27 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! A lot of native powers have to be toned down just a touch since a lot of the fantasy being used in the game settings don't usually have comic book level superpowers. It's to make it so things are still challenging, where characters can actually be hurt by things like swords or arrows. A lot of the fantasy settings being used don't have things that would easily let bad guys hurt characters with comic book level invulnerability, for instance.

But he's still allowed to have things nerfed and have superstrength and toughness up to the certain degree allowed in the rules. Or he can lose them but gain magic. Or he can lose them and take a magic weapon. (And magic weapons can do things like have magic blessings or curses where they temporarily confer a magic shield of invulnerability but only for a few minutes).

So you can either go with something entirely new or keep some of his usual stuff but just slightly toned down. The upside to the setting and fantasy stuff at least is that the bad guys are also slightly squishier too, especially compared to comics. In Weathertop plot, for instance, we had a really funny thing where Death Eaters kept getting beaned with physical attacks and were a little shocked by it because they're not used to fighting non-magic users that can actually fight, just magic users and defenseless muggles.

DISHONORED @ FASTI

[personal profile] wolfofdunwall 2018-05-27 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] fastilogs
[fandom]: dishonored
[game's current cast]: emily kaldwin (peeress and the price), daud (end of brigmore witches)
[who I play]: daud
[wanted]: anyone. literally anyone would be beautiful and welcome and given a bunch of confetti or something.
[game info]: you'll wake up one day to find yourself in ancient rome. your powers have been taken, you've made some strange agreement to fight in a war, and you're soon to find that the gods here are very real. you'll be assigned your very own patron god and given shiny new powers (well, a power to start off with; from there you'll build your power set according to your choice). and you'll begin training for the war to come.

beyond that? you can fight in arena battles. spar. train your face off. learn how to play nice with your roommate. strengthen your situation by helping to improve medical care and generate water that isn't full of lead. listen to eerie voices on the pons aelius. scour the library. run the rooftops like the cool kids. hang out at the public baths. drink wine and shout at the gods' statues. come and kick daud's ass, if you like.

a few final notes: applications are open until 5/29 at 11:59 PM est, ac is ten comments per month, the game is 18+, aaaand emily's player and i would both love to see you around! feel free to ask me if you have any questions about the game or/and what the dishonored cast has been up to.

[community profile] phantasmalrift would seem to hit most of the right notes? It's a comm-based sci-fi exploration game with a focus on power building and plenty of room for developing CR. The game has a relaxed atmosphere, very backtag friendly, and AC is super light, requiring a simple 5 comments per month. It's handled entirely by the mods, too! Points earned through activity can be used to buy items and even new abilities for your character.

The story is that characters are accidentally brought to the game's world by falling through cracks in reality called "Fissures". From the Keystone Research Station, they set out to explore and stabilize the Fissures in the form of dungeons, and in doing so learn more about them and ultimately use that knowledge to find a way home.

As for castmates, I play an alternate version of female Robin alongside her male counterpart, from an AU where they're twins. It hardly needs saying that we would absolutely love to have either Chrom or Lucina!

[personal profile] traitorous 2018-05-27 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
OFFERING.
▸ agent maine ([personal profile] traitorous) red vs. blue
▸ ato ([personal profile] dionysiac) the miracle we met
▸ grim reaper/wang yeo ([personal profile] waypoint) goblin: the lonely and great god
SEEKING.
▸ wash, carolina, or cross-canon anyone for maine. he works best against other soldier/merc/battle-hardened types, but he's also fun to throw against ppl who are his complete opposite. m/m, m/f, it's all good, though i have a veeeeeery slight preference for m/f if it's cross-canon.
▸ cross-canon for ato (unless you play mao, in which case pls hit me up). ato is a god who serves as a guide for the dead and the dying into the afterlife. he's earnest and empathetic but also extremely mischievous. mostly looking for shipping shenanigans, ngl, but i'll take what i can get because i'm fucking thirsty.
▸ sunny or kim shin for reaper (or even dukhwa, tbh)!

I know the feeling! I've wanted to bounce this guy off a Ben for ages but I only know two people who RP Ben: me ([personal profile] omnitrixter) and a friend of mine who moved on from Ben years ago. Which makes me sad since I love these two's weird friendship.

I've been playing Azmuth primarily at Wake for four years now, so he's well-established there. Plus Wake doesn't look like it's going to shut down any time soon, so you could definitely hold off a couple of months before applying. Applications open up around the last week of every month along with having a test drive meme.

Looking at my old app is kind of intimidating, but they've changed the app rules since I app'd in Azmuth: You used to have to write out your character's history, but now you have the option to either do that or to link to a detailed page about your character's history and then do a TL;DR-style bullet point summary. That's honestly the worst part about the app given how long and convoluted Ben 10's timeline can be.

CODE GEASS @ MELODIES

[personal profile] euphemia 2018-05-27 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] melodiesofeternity
[fandom]: Code Geass
[game's current cast]: Euphemia li Britannia, Lelouch vi Britannia,
[who I play]: Euphemia & Hana Song
[wanted]: Outside of a reserved Cornelia and a potential Suzaku, we would really like to see anyone from this series. No, really anyone. Akito cast included. Plus more people to talk new movies and R3 the better.
[game info]: Melodies is set in a Final Fantasy based world where heroes have been rescued from the Dream Width and brought to Vaikuntha for reasons nobody is quite sure if yet. It’s a plot driven story with excellent events (doing a memory one now and hoo boy), a bit of slice of life ( yay housing and work ), and an easy paced game which is not too fast and extremely backtag friendly. This game is very kind to those of us with busier lifestyles. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at all.
