May 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!

Hello! Have you considered [community profile] empatheias? I can be pretty slow/medium (backtag heaven + handwaving or discussion) and I get on comfortably in the game despite being someone who is frequently ill. I find the game as a whole to be really good about being communicative with each other. AC is either a post + 10 comments or two threads of ten comments (minimum of two threads, I think max of five with two comments minimum each?) and it allows inbox threads to be used.

It's steampunk/fantasy and allows characters to learn in-universe magic and has some tech (ala magitek style, for the most part). Over-arching plot is optional and usually leans toward adventure/exploration (searching a cavern in the lake after it mysteriously dried up, traveling to a foreign land where there's lost technology and suspiciously large, futuristic buildings + fighting robots?? etc) and there's a "task board" which has monthly quests that can range from testing out products, competitions, mysteries, and fighting monsters; it allows for players to submit to it, as well. With Jill, specifically, I lean toward fighting monsters and exploration.

The overall arching plot is also about emotions and helping stabilize the world, so it involves a lot of world interaction and revealing new regions from time-to-time!

The current TDM is here, but the app "cycle" is the start of each month. TDM is always up the 18th, reserves are always the last week of the month, and apps are always open the first week or so of the following (this cycle it's June 1-4), which I realize could be a narrow window if you're interested in apping this round.

TL;DR, if you have any questions lmk! Based on your darker/horror prefs I think the game might work for you since I know the struggle of playing from a horror canon but not wanting the Constant Despair. Anyway, the only other thing I can think of that might be important to mention is that the in-game lore isn't necessary and is more just bonus content for players and won't affect how things go for you in game.

I was actually in emp a while back, lol. Unfortunately, I don't think it's what I'm looking for, right now, but thank you for the very thorough rec!

Oh, hey, nbd! Good luck in your hunt! c:

(And sorry for the TL;DR, I always try to hit answers to what people are looking for so they don't have to go and look them up themselves!)
