March 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!

I'd love to see Steve at [community profile] populationyou! It's a horror game set in Silent Hill, a foggy Maine hell-town where the characters have to deal with the landscape occasionally changing to a rust-filled, industrial, rotten mess, with angry ghosts and grotesque monsters.

The game world shifts back and forth between "nightmare" events where everything goes to shit, and "daytime" events where the world is safer, but filled with fog. During fog times there are survival elements, with the gang having to find supplies and survive. During "nightmare" levels, they have to survive against monsters and solve puzzles. The plot involves conspiracies, cults, puzzles, and mysteries to solve around what made the town that way. The plot has been pretty dynamic and allowed for players to poke at things the mods didn't expect.

Plot outcomes are very flexible, based on what characters do and if they solve puzzles or face boss ghosts/monsters with the right angle. The mods have also been great at letting players try something they didn't set out to explicitly have happen. For instance, a few other players and I triggered a surprise boss encounter just by having the characters do a Thing (and our characters botched the entire encounter and DIED). Another player and I also triggered a boss encounter entirely by accident once.

Other stuff:

- It's definitely character development focused - the town really pushes the characters
- it's a small, new game so we don't have a ton of characters yet but there are a few other teens/kids
- horror based, and a very good place for people who whack monsters with baseball bats, so Steve would be in his element

I play Dipper Pines here from Gravity Falls and we also have a Mabel. Playing with some ST characters has been my dream CR! Especially Steve and the ST kids. Dipper and Mabel could use a monster-bashing buddy.
