May EMP Meme
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
no subject
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.
