enablemeplz | February 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[character offered]:
John Sheppard (Stargate: Atlantis)
Rodney McKay (Stargate: Atlantis)
Laurent (Captive Prince)
Athos (Musketeers)
Lancelot (BBC Merlin)
Merlin (BBC Merlin)
Monroe (Grimm) [ Requires Canon Review]

[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:
✔ Games
✔ PSLS
✔ Meme threads

[preferences]:
✔ Medium to fast paced
✔ Medium to large games. Small games that are medium paced I'll consider.
✔ Leaning on a more serious tone -- I'm not into crack style games or threads/psls
✔ Matching the genre of the character -- I prefer not to put the fantasy/old fashioned characters in neon-bright space games as the learning curve for them is so big it takes forever for them to settle. I don't mind the reverse, though, modern characters can adapt a little quicker to older styles/fantasy games is more doable but a little case-by-case.
✔ AUs are great, I'm fine with AUs.
✔ Memory loss, temporary or permanent, is fine by me.
✔ Plot is preferred to some degree. I get bored in pure SOL settings. I need things for my characters to do. I prefer plot that progresses rather than Random Disconnected Event Of The Month.
✔ Any AC level is fine, although I prefer AC to exist. Zero-AC games are not my speed as I prefer consistency.
✔ My only powered character is Merlin and I don't mind him losing his powers. Monroe is racially a werewolf, so... if a game wants to de-werewolf him I'd have to think about it I guess.
- Smut games depends on the character. Some are difficult to place in that sort of thing
- Canonmates I don't mind, though if they exist already we should probably thread first to make sure we click! I prefer to thread a bit before apping in case we don't gel. No canonmates is also fine. Either way is doable!
- Horror is also case-by-case with the character, and the type of horror.
- All my accounts are on DW, I've never played on a non-DW game for longer than five minutes so if you're willing to hold my hand on etiquette and teach me I'm willing to try!
❌ No Murder games, thank you!
❌ No Teamnesia games!
❌ No body horror/transformation-based games like Ryslig. It's just not my thing!
❌ Are there any journal-based instead of community-based games left....? Anyway, not those I suppose.

Soooooo I can't offer you actual castmates, but we have Fate/-verse's versions of Lancelot and Gawain over at

empatheias, if you're interested in potential cross-canon shenanigans! The game is a steampunk fantasy setting, where characters' emotions manifest effects in the world around them. There's various degrees of plot (we had a big one over the course of several months last fall, for example, followed by smaller events and such, and so on) but never so much as to be overwhelming if you want to get involved in it. Powers are generally NOT nerfed (unless they're something gamebreaking) too.

The current test drive is here if you wanna give that a spin; the next app period actually opens on Friday.
