April 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.

If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Hello! This is my Hot Rod account!

I'm checking the game due to your recommendation + the fact I have some gamemates in the game as well and it looks like they have a lot of fun there. The game looks very interesting with its events and building, so I'm definitely going to poke at the TDM tomorrow and see how it goes.

Awesome! I'll keep a look out for you on the TDM.

[personal profile] hatejakku 2019-04-28 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's not often you see a BB-8 muse!

If you're interested at all, we'd love to see the little guy over at [community profile] maskormenace. We had a sort of NPC BB-8 controlled by our Poe Dameron player a while ago, but the mods decided he's an appable character and we've been looking for one ever since.

The game is mostly SoL with an option to get in on the metaplot. It's the one where everyone arrives on the planet Earth with superpowers. Humanization isn't a thing unless you want it to be a power of his (ie, opt-in). Our SW cast is massive and includes Rey, Poe, Kylo, Hux, and my own Finn here. We've got characters from all eras, really, but I know our Poe would just die to see his little buddy again. AC is two proofs a month and the pace is about medium, I'd say. You can choose to boomerang if you want but we have slower players who easily make AC, too. We're also pro-backtagging-to-infinity.

Here's the TDM if you wanted to try it out. :) If you got any questions, feel free to ask! Thanks!

Hello! Sorry for the tardy response but here's the bot!

Oh wow, I've seen a lot of gamemates (both in past and current games) play here whenever I saw their plurks on my timeline. It looks like they're always having fun whenever they talk about it so it's exciting to hear that there's a cast of friends for them to meet. It really does sound interesting and I'm excited to hear that BB-8 can come as is.

I'll put up a TDM toplevel in a bit to see how BB-8 will do there! I do have a quick question and you're free to take your time in answering since I made you wait - Since the Poe Dameron player was NPCing a BB-8 before, does that mean they're there in the game but simply chilling in the background? If so, is there something I'll need to know re: events or twists in the game? Thank you very much in advance!
hatejakku: (SMILING)

[personal profile] hatejakku 2019-04-30 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yay! I'm excited to hear that. ♥ And don't worry! You're fine!

About your question, Poe had a power granted to him in-game that was just BB-8 basically. If he got too far away from BB's location, the droid would go offline until he came back, but otherwise he was an NPC controlled by our Poe player.

When she and the mods decided the droid was appable, she just oocly switched out Poe's powers for something else. BB-8 was considered "ported out" like any other character who would have dropped, so your BB-8 would arrive like normal without the previous BB-8's memories of Earth. A fresh start! And since it's a fresh start, I don't think there's anything "character-plot related" you'll need to know going in.

That said, a lot of the characters have been there a long time, so there's a lot of plot and drama circling around them, but nothing about BB-8 that I'm aware of.

Thank you so much for being so detailed in your answers! :D This is all really useful to know.

Aaaand after a million years, I managed to throw up a toplevel at the TDM now. Please feel free to take your time in responding if you're interested, since you're in the game and I know activity check for most games are rolling in or about to roll in, haha.

I'll poke around the game some more to check the information pages out!

I'll hit up the top level tomorrow! But also thank you for reminding me about AC. Oops

Sorry I tend to write so much. Thank you for entertaining my responses! Lol if you ever have more questions, just let me know :)

i don't go there anymore but [community profile] cyberformed is a transformers centric game. lots of robutts there. really friendly welcoming community, super chill, lots of community plotting. you'd like it!

freewheeled: (013. | take on me.)

[personal profile] freewheeled 2019-04-30 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I had no idea that there was a Tranfsormers-centric game here in Dreamwidth! That's really neat to know. I'll poke around and see if I can muster the courage and speak with some players or maybe the moderators in a bit. See if they're open to the idea of another person coming in.

Thank you for the recommendation! Just learning about the game made my day because there are still lots of active players out there, oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh! A Rung!!

I'll drop by the TDM in a bit and look around! I'm super excited for this and it's great to hear that everyone is chill and laidback. That's been my experience with the TF fandom at large since returning to it around 2016/17. :>
rungian: (smile)

[personal profile] rungian 2019-05-01 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes a Rung! You like Rung? xD

I have been summoned.

HELLO I am the mod of Cyberformed, Treva! Cyberformed is pretty tiny but we are always happy to have new folks. The test drive and apps are always open, so you can hit us up anytime! Feel free to hit me up if you have questions or anything.

[personal profile] freewheeled 2019-05-01 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi!!

I'm more used to being in tiny and slow games, so that's perfectly alright with me! I'll drop a toplevel over at the TDM in a bit and see how Hot Rod is. Thank you so much for taking the time to drop by. It's really exciting to see more TF players out there.

I'll start poking around the game's pages and see what I need to know + stuff. If I have questions, I'll let you know ASAP. \ o /
quietone: (Making cat videos for youtube)

[personal profile] quietone 2019-05-02 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Good deal! I'll have to hit you up once work stops kicking my butt so much. I'm always excited to see other TF players out there too, so I try to keep my eyes peeled where I can. Everyone else in CF is pretty much the same, lol.

Yeah, just let me know if you have any questions!
