June 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!

That all works for me!

I definitely like the idea of using Euphy as Cornelia's catalyst. Would you prefer Troy convincing Cornelia to join him, Cornelia convincing Troy to accept her and her soldiers, or both of them working together to reach the conclusion that they need to unite against the aliens? Or I guess we can also approach it from a question of, do you like the idea of Troy reaching out to Cornelia, Cornelia tracking Troy down after discovering that he might know what happened to Euphy, or them encountering each other while conducting separate investigations? Or other options I haven't considered? I'm open!

Cornelia contacting Troy would be the easiest, but it could be a result of him reaching out to her. So a mix of both. I'm already formulating a clearer picture like, these aliens mind control Euphemia which caused her to go on a shooting spree like in the anime to stop a peace summit, and Troy was in that event and stopped her from killing more people. Cornelia, understandably, probably thought it was to assassinate Euphemia because every political figure who gets Geassed are killed by the aliens right after to leave no evidence, but he in fact was there to save her from the Geass' influence. Before Troy ran flees from the commotion, he would have told Cornelia that there's something more to what happened and give her a way to contact him (likely an encrypted phone), and maybe Euphemia helped solidify what he said by telling Cornelia that she was out of it during the incident and he didn't harm her.

Cornelia would not likely believe her enemy saying that there's more to it than meets the eye, naturally. But maybe she already had lingering doubts of her own too that she chooses to ignore until that moment. Loyalty to her father and Britannia is so strong in her that it would create great internal conflict. So Euphemia would definitely be the catalyst to her switching priorities and the glue to her and Troy. He would likely offer to provide shelter for Euphemia in the planet he's using as a forward-operating base (and the one he'll later rule over as king) so the aliens can't finish the job, so Cornelia and Troy then start working together while getting to know each other on a more personal level. We can start our story there! Maybe with them working to call more potential allies and mount a defense for an attack but we don't have to play the battle out since we're both not into fight scenes lol. We can handwave/fast-forward if it comes to that.

So then maybe,

Shooting spree happens. Troy stops Euphy and keeps her safe. Cornelia arrives on the scene while Euphy is still in Troy's custody. Troy hands Euphy over to Cornelia, tells her what's up, and gives her his contact information before fleeing. Maybe Cornelia sends her forces after him (and they fail) or maybe she prioritizes Euphy and lets him go. It won't be difficult to convince Cornelia that something supernatural corrupted Euphy, but connecting that to Britannia and/or convincing her that they'd be safer with Troy than in Britannia isn't going to happen so quickly. Cornelia's faith in her family is too strong.

From there, Cornelia launches an investigation and is ultimately detained. With her out of the way Charles authorizes Euphy's assassination because her death is imperative to Britannia's/the aliens' plans. Darlton thwarts the attempt, Guilford springs Cornelia free. After that, I figure that the four of them can go into hiding to amass support. And though they do manage to gather together a nice-sized army, it's nowhere near enough to stand up to the Britannian/alien threat and Cornelia ultimately realizes that their best chance of victory is to join forces with Troy. We could either say that they've been communicating the entire time, or Cornelia could contact him out of the blue.

She and her people travel to Troy's planet and the rest happens like you said. I definitely like the idea of kicking things off with them solidifying their positions and formulating strategies. Nothing too personal, nothing too complicated, just two former enemies getting to know each other through the thing they have most in common.

Thoughts?

I think it's perfect!

Cornelia could contact Troy out of the blue; maybe she thought of contacting him earlier but hesitated each time because she isn't sure she could join forces with the enemy. And that way it would make Troy's people side-eye him a little for the decision but would ultimately come around and come to respect him and Cornelia both for having a less politics-driven goal since they're now actually looking out for humanity as a whole.

Awesome! And that works for me! With the hesitancy, joining up with Troy could be a bit of a last ditch decision, but that also means it'll be something she's been thinking about for a while. So by the time she does contact him, she'll have fewer questions over whether she's made the right choice. Of course she'll still have her doubts, but they should be less overt and therefore easier to navigate around.

Is there anything else you want to hash out?

Hmm. Mainly where you want to play this, I guess? I can roll with Bakerstreet just fine, but unless you want to play this in a musebox that's also good with me!

No preference, really! I don't have a musebox myself so it'd have to be in yours or if we go that route. Or we could set up a new comm. And Bakerstreet's fine by me. Looks like there are plenty of good "do whatever you want" memes up right now. Picture prompt, quote prompt, rain meme...
