August 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!

So, just so you're aware -- applications open just after midnight Sunday and close midnight Tuesday, and then it'll be early November they next have a window I think! You obviously do not have to hit this window but, if didn't want to wait until November it's pretty soon!
THAT SAID, John has gone through a metric tonne of interpersonal drama in this game because (here is where you pretend to be surprised) he tried to do everything himself and when it went wrong held himself entirely responsible. The short version is I put him on a doomed escort mission and the thing they lost got used in an evil ritual to revive an undead dragon and even though there were other people there John is like yes, but ALSO I WAS! AND THUS I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THEM GETTING IT. OR STOPPED THE RITUAL!
So now he's in the low-key driving himself into the ground until he's exhausted part of a depressive cycle.
Obviously I am like, deeply bias, and would love any of his team to come hang out with him in weird space adventures! But someone to help pry him out of this would be good. That said, he'd probably be instantly cheered up a little just to have someone. Other hooks: John's roommate is Ianto Jones who is pale and blue eyed and sassy and keeps making him think of Rodney. It's not that he replaced you Rodney he just, needed a new sidekick to bounce ideas of... complicated by Ianto giving him the adoring puppy eyes constantly and being like, a lot younger. Also, I used activity points to give him general technopathy so his ATA gene basically works on everything now. He has no idea why it happened and is just as confused as anyone else. John also has a traveller gun like Ronon has now! A shiny new one I got that with AC points for him, so he can awkwardly explain the space people gave it to him.
If you did want to play Carter I'm sure she'd enjoy nerding out about all the Natha tech and John's overpowered ATA technopathy. John would enjoy nerding out and being low-key annoyed with the Natha alongside her for sure! She'd probably also find Ianto cute, lbr, he makes good coffee and is a suck-up. Obvs Rodney might find this all weird but equally fascinating on a nerdy level, with added bickering, and he might slightly love Ianto for his coffee machine and move in WHO KNOWS. There are a hundred possible dynamics.
OTHERWISE, I have no idea what next month's event will be but everyone on the surface recently watched an incarnation of the god they worship turn a big dragon to stone alone with herself. So there's some interesting inter-refugee-locals politics and 'why didn't we just tell them the Natha have a spaceship and are powerful like the Ancients' dynamics that might interest Teyla, since the Natha have tried to be... gestures, hands-off? John has a lot of opinions about this himself, from the perspective of someone who has dealt with the Ancients being secretive before which... of course, most other people have not.
I'd guess Ronon is the hardest to hook bc he's not chatty but, John was hunting down evil Shamans after the last event. There are probably still some evil shamans. I feel that Ronon would enjoy a good evil shaman hunt. They raised an insane undead dragon and made animal chimeras. That's pretty solidly evil!
I don't know, is this helping, I think I just rambled. I just woke up!
Edit: Also, this is our current test drive for anyone interested in playing!
ANOTHER EDIT: actually now I'm more awake the fact that Carter is John's superior could give you a lot of interesting mileage. Not that... John is exactly good at toeing the line, but he'd still feel obligated to explain & defend himself to her ! Also... He'd probably quietly try literally & metaphorically shoving Ianto in a closet at first tbh even though... he cannot actually be discharged when the Air Force no longer exists

But! If you don't mind me possibly taking a bit to find his voice, I think Rodney's indignation over being 'replaced' would be honestly hilarious. And really, this would give me a great reason to re-watch Atlantis. XD XD
Your ramblings are a++ and very helpful! I'll check out the TDM and make thoughtful humming noises. (I mean, I have to pick a journal name and it's very important that Rodney has a good one that reflects his humble achievements.)

and he's less likely to get sullen and defeatist if John is around to come annoy him back into action!
also, the username twophds is not registered if you need ideas

And...that's...a really good username that I might steal from you. I shall keep you posted!
