December 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.

Based on your preferences, I'm going to suggest [community profile] elnysa since it hits most of them (and also I like Alex a lot and she'd be really cool to see in the game). It's a sci-fi/fantasy game set on a planet that characters are relocated to after their own is destroyed, and while it's not a sex game, it's sex-friendly, so events will occasionally have opt-in prompts for it. It's also medium paced - the only preference of yours that it misses is the 20-30 AC, since the AC is 2 proofs of 5 log/10 network comments from a single thread, but it does have a bonus AC and rewards system so tagging above AC requirements is rewarded. There's also faction, reputation and quest stuff tied into those, which is good for CR building both short and long term.

If you end up wanting to check it out, there's a TDM up currently!

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion! I’m just reading up on the game info right now but I’m into it so far. :) what do the events tend to be like and is the game pretty backtag friendly?

The game is extremely backtag-friendly, since at the pace it is, once a day/once every two days tagging is a lot more common than boomeranging.

The events vary a fair bit, but some examples from the recent months: December's was a festival where characters could learn more about the island's local gods who are relevant to some upcoming plot, November involved some characters disappearing and transforming in an unexplored forest and others attempting to rescue them and find the source of the problem (this event had an opt-in sex prompt), September had ghosts from a recent wide-scale destruction event who hadn't found peace yet either because of vengeance or other unfinished business needing to be settled (which also included vengeful demons to fight, and this one also had an opt-in sex prompt). Events are usually somewhat of a long-term thing and might take place over a week or two of the game calendar as opposed to a few days. But in general, the events are fairly comprehensive setting-affecting things that tend to lean towards the fantasy side of the setting.

Thanks for such a detailed answer! It does sound like there is a lot to keep the setting fresh which I like. I’ll peak at the tdm and see what kind of ideas for Alex I can mess around with.

Hi there, you! I joined [community profile] meadowlark about a month ago and really enjoy it. Still new myself, but it's action/sci-fi that's medium paced and requires 20 AC, I believe. It's very backtag friendly and I haven't had any trouble managing threads even during the holidays. The plot is open to player influence, so you can kickstart your own ideas, although there are still overarching events that happen. The cast has been wonderful so far, and I've had no trouble gathering a variety of CR. There's a test drive meme up as well.

I'd love to get to play against Alex in a proper game! And feel free to let me know if you have questions about it.

Hey there!

The super power element is super appealing to me (let alex protect herself 2019), and the dystopian world element is definitely my thing. I think I will throw a top level up and try it out.

And yes! I’d love to see how these two interact on a canon basis. Lovely dysfunctional kids. :)
blyat: (★ let it happen)

[personal profile] blyat 2019-01-02 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh yes, excellent! The powers thing was my big draw too, since Cain is also not powered. It'd be so cool to see Alex with something to defend herself.

Also, all characters have an empathy link, so any time they come into direct skin contact, they share their emotions between each other. It's great at deepening CR. I'll keep an eye out and hit her up on the TDM!

[personal profile] windowsills 2019-01-02 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That is very juicy. Alex is all about those unspoken and repressed feelings. I'll try and wrangle up something tonightish!
