June 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!

Searing for a Role-Play

[personal profile] ladyofknives 2018-07-13 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, I am new to Dream Width and its lingo, so please bear with me. I have been role-playing for over ten years now and I am a pretty advanced writer. I require a minimum of two paragraphs per post but I am always understanding that sometimes there isn't much to write about. I believe in plotting things out with a partner or group to make the game play a lot more smooth. I prefer PSL, thus one on one role-play, but I will look at groups. I do not, however, play cannon characters, I only play originals, sorry that is my preference. I am kink/smut friendly, I am twenty-five years old, will be twenty-six in December so I am of age. For the most part, all my role-plays have some sort of elements of fantasy, and I prefer that because otherwise life is very mundane. On my profile I have a link to my Pintrest that has a couple topic starters if you want to look at them.

Topics I like:
- Pirates/Thieves/Rogues
- (Holy) Adventures
- World Building
- Religion/Religion Building
- Master/Sub
- Big Sub/Little Dom
- Age Difference
- Mercenaries
- Urban Fantasy
- Medieval Fantasy
- Unlikely Meetings
- Fantasy
- High School Settings
- Werewolves/Vampires/Mythical Creatures
- Supernatural Team
- Much More, Just Ask.

I am interested in hearing more about your OC, I play topics without cannon characters and I don't do jamjar, but I can work with you an create an OC to fit with your vampire.

[personal profile] ladyofknives 2018-07-13 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I normally don't play with cannon characters because it is really difficult for me, but I love Edward Nigma/The Riddler. What version of him are you wanting to play? If you want to discuss this more please inbox me.

[community profile] maskormenace has a few Star Wars legends characters who would welcome a Jacen. It might be a bit too big for what you're looking but ac is not too high and there are a lot of plots run by mods and players as well as being backtag friendly.

I only check 2-3 times a week and can keep up fine.

welcome to DWRP! I just wanted to stop by and leave this link to help you out while you get started around here

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S72FtBvzGCf79Xha5-YNiLYpZxc_IRhxKACs9uU6qkk/edit

have any preferences you want but as a heads-up, we aren't fans of "minimum words" expectations on tags. some people can tell you they want more than one liners/quickspam, but in general, we write as long as the context calls for it, which can be three paragraphs or just a couple of lines in the same thread. good luck!

Hi.

I play this guy, but I've also played Lorne and Teyla. Sell me on this game.

THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS

[personal profile] strongest_faith 2018-07-20 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[game]: [community profile] milliways_bar
[fandom]: The Mortal Instruments
[game's current cast]: Just Alec here
[who I play]: See above
[wanted]: Anyone at all! Obviously, I would love a Magnus, but Jace or Izzy would be awesome too. I'd also love to see some Shadowhunters folks!
[game info]: Milliways is basically a glorified pan-fandom dressing room. There's no AC, and your characters continue through their canon in between brief visits. It's entirely character-driven, and characters can visit the universe of any character that invites them. Very low-key, and very old school.

HEEEEEEEEEEEY

Fingerguns

What do you want to know! Like I can tell you all day that I'm having fun in this game and I've got to do lots of cool space fantasy stuff but, I don't know what kind of stuff you personally like! Do you have speed preferences, preferred event styles, preferred AC etc? Then I can tell you if you will LOVE or HATE this game!

For me, I feel like the mix of space adventure and fantasy works pretty well for Stargate characters! I also prefer logs to too much network spam, esp for John who is not a super network spammy type anyway and loves to run around, so the fact that most of the games action is on event logs works really well for me! If you prefer really fast games this def isn't for you, because since it's mostly logs that lowers the pace a little! But if you like mystery and technology alongside swords and dragons we have all of that!

The latest event is in a place called NADRIL where we have to find out why the 'original' refugees recruited by the Natha (who are kinda like the Ancients) assisted in some sabotage, and also low key why they won't work with the Natha any more! John is trying to get logs out of a crashed bit of Natha spaceship at the moment while also tolerating snowy conditions!

Additionally, in our last app round we got a TJ from Stargate: Universe!

EDIT:

OH, also! El Nysa plays mostly as a sort of adventure game but it usually tends to have at least like, one sex positive prompt every other month or so at least if you're into that kind of thing? It's not invasive like a full on sex game, it's just like 'also, this beach has a lagoon where the water makes you feel nice and like touching everyone' or, 'also, this village has a bar where people get high and kiss each other if you want to go there'.

Since I know the game bio doesn't... describe? How that aspect of it works very well, that is basically what the 'smut-opt-ins' thing is!

That all sounds like a good fit, actually. I'm down for slower paced. That's where I am these days my own self. And action over network works REALLY WELL for Ronon, because... Ronon. He doesn't word.

I don't know Universe at all, but fun! It's a hard franchise to find a cast in these days.

How are the players? Is it friendly? Cliquish? Wanky?
impavid: (Default)

[personal profile] impavid 2018-07-21 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
So far I haven't found it cliquey or wanky, but I joined in April so it's always possible I've just not fallen into that part of the game!

As a benchmark, though:

I joined with a friend, at the time there were only two other people I knew in the game. They both ended up leaving since they didn't have time for it early on. The friend I joined with (and one other friend of mine who just joined) is the only person in game I have added on plurk right now, because I don't like mass-adding people for the sake of a game, but people still tag me! I tend to go out of my way to find people on plotting things and plan something, and reach out to people using all the game OOC stuff, but I've never really felt that I've been cut off from anything by not having everyone on plurk! Hunting people down on plotting things is something I'd definitely encourage but I also think... that's a DWRP as a whole thing. If you hunt down people and go HEY, I want to thread with you, here is a top level I already posted!! Then you've already done all the leg work for them so they're more likely to do it. All the worst sins this game (in my experience) has really involve things just sometimes ending up slow enough that they stall out sometimes.

I did not mean to leave you hanging on this! So very sorry. :)

Seeking out plot is kind of part and parcel with DWRP, I think. That's a good benchmark to start from.

I'll pop into the TDM!
impavid: (Default)

[personal profile] impavid 2018-07-24 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
I think a new one should go up in the next week or so! There's usually a new one up before the application window opens, which will probably get a little more traffic than the end of the last one!

If you have any other questions as well, I'm happy to answer them! I also can shoot you my discord if you use that, since AIM is no longer a thing (RIP AIM)

EDIT: CORRECTION, the next test drive will be NEXT month I forgot applications are every other month. (We've had them closed entirely for a few for a plot).

SO IN THAT CASE, it's really up to you if you want me to tag you on the end of this one just to test play or wait! or something else, I'm easy!

Hi hello and welcome to DW!

Did you have any preferences for who you wanted to thread Minamimoto with? Along with Josh I can play most of the cast, so feel free to throw out any names you're interested in.
liarverse: (question mark)

[personal profile] liarverse 2018-07-25 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hello hello! I don't have any preferences, I'm pretty flexible for the most part! I think the only one I wouldn't be comfortable RPing with is Rhyme, but only in a shippy setting. Otherwise, I'm good with anything!
7yrs_running: (Default)

[personal profile] 7yrs_running 2018-07-26 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
That is actually very useful! I was just thinking I should do a canon review before posting. It's been a while since I played him. Will you ping me when next month's goes up?

Also, where are you playing Sheppard from, canon-wise?
andyougiveupontheworld: (Smile)

[personal profile] andyougiveupontheworld 2018-07-26 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Rhyme's one of the ones I can't RP that well anyway, so that's fine. Did you particularly want shipping, or some other sort of scenario?
liarverse: (question mark)

[personal profile] liarverse 2018-07-26 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I feel like Sho would be a bit difficult to ship with, anyway, but we can probably make something work there if you want to go that route! If worse comes to worse, we can toss scenarios at each other, like perhaps one between Joshua and Sho?
impavid: (Default)

[personal profile] impavid 2018-07-26 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sure!

And I play him from Season 5! I picked him up from the end of The Shrine, a little bit arbitrarily. I think I was trying to make it before all the Michael stuff. There was probably a deep reason but I forget now, months-ago-me presumably knew what they were doing I trust my past self that it was a good choice.
andyougiveupontheworld: (Smile)

[personal profile] andyougiveupontheworld 2018-07-27 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Sho is def tricky to ship. I've done it before but he's super fun to play off of either way.

Something post-game, maybe? Like where they realize they've both survived and now they have to figure out how to coexist (or if they want to continue throwing effort into trying to off the other).
liarverse: (question mark)

[personal profile] liarverse 2018-07-27 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I like this idea a lot! Post-game Sho would be fun to write because he is still pretty bitter about Joshua, especially considering yknow. Joshua buried him in a heap of garbage lmao

But yes I'm 100% down with that idea, maybe a bit of both where they're trying to off the other but also trying to co exist as some sort of rivalry situation?

[character offered]: Rose Marshall
[fandom]: InCryptid/Ghost Stories books by Seanan McGuire

[preferences]: Rose is a bit hard to find a good setting for- she's a hitchhiking ghost and requires the open road and people willing to lend her a ride and a coat. These aspects of her "powers" are kind of the funnest part of playing her for me so I'd need somewhere she can keep up her hitching.

Pacing, size and genre are all things I'm willing to be pretty flexible about.

Also totally down for PSLs, which are probably easiest for this particular character.
