November 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!

Whoops, apologies for the lateness of this reply!

Honestly I think you dodged a bullet there, not reading the later Harry Potter books. Unlike the way Rivers of London has been going so far, Harry Potter definitely takes a sharp turn for the worst later on. There's some worthwhile stuff in the fifth book and maaaaybe a few good moments in the sixth, but over all books 5 to 7 are not very good reads. I generally play from well before those books anyway, so you'll probably recognize anything I write of Remus's story and motivations.

Anywho, I agree that it might work well to smush the two canons together. We can definitely say that WWII and the war against Voldemort were one in the same, as long as you're okay playing an early Nightingale from before he grows old and then de-ages again. I guess they'd be at matching levels of PTSD, in that case! Maybe as WWII was raging and Nightingale was fighting in Germany, the Demi-monde in the UK was also a battle ground as German magicians infiltrated the country in expectation of imminent invasion? Remus would probably make more sense in the Demi-monde than as one of the Isaacs since he's a werewolf with in-built magic. We could even make it a post-war Britain period atmosphere.

As for shipping, I'm definitely willing! It would have to be a long, drawn-out relationship that works up to anything smutty over time, though - Remus has way too many hangups about his own body to jump headlong into romance. Is that okay with you, or is it a rule-out?

never worry about lateness, i'm a turtle myself so slow is never an issue with me /o\ that'd be very hypocritical

aNYWAY yes this sounds good! i have a younger!nightingale account as well, but if we set it post war, i suppose nightingale would be old enough for this pb. and not jumping into smut or romance right away works for me, ust and slow burn are a+

do you have an open post anywhere or do you want to start on a meme somewhere or somesuch? alternatively, i have an open post @ publica

Wooooow I'm so sorry about how late this post is! I know you said you're a bit of a slow-poster yourself but this is ridiculous even for me. Anyway, if you're still interested, I'd be happy to start a post for these two! Perhaps we can have Nightingale checking up on the Demi-monde in his capacity as a police detective because there's been a crime that looks like it was perpetrated by werewolves, and finds Remus here trying to track down the same werewolves?

We can definitely start on your open post, if that works for you. Can I post to it freely, or do you have to give me permission?

no worries at all and yeah, go ahead! you can just post, it's all open. if you don't mind, let's maybe do something with at least vaguely established cr? work's gotten pretty crazy as of late, so i'm even slower than usual, but if you don't mind that, hit me up

Woohoo, finally made the post on your open thread page! Do tell me if you can't see it, or if there's anything wrong with the tag. I tried to keep it vague enough that we can take it in lots of directions, but I can always change it if need be!
