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.

SSSS @ Asgard

[personal profile] skittering 2019-06-29 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[game]: Asgard ([personal profile] asgardmods)
[fandom]: Stand Still, Stay Silent
[game's current cast]: Lalli & Emil currently in-game, Tuuri on reserve/incoming, and a hopeful Reynir for next app round.
[who I play]: one grumpy catte
[wanted]: hot damn do we want a Sigrun, a Mikkel, or an Onni. (see this thread on the game's EMP for a more individualized enabling attempt, ahaha...ha)
[game info]: decent-sized fantasy-adventure game based in Norse mythology - the premise can be found here. the playerbase is super friendly in my experience + there are a ton of obscure canons that seem to get plenty of CR, so that's nifty.

i'm honestly the worst at explaining it, but am glad to answer questions if you have any!

....dang this is tempting. I have Onni and Sigrun, though Sigrun is more likely. What's the pace like?

holy shit

I can’t even express how excited we’d all be for a Sigrun or an Onni. Each of them definitely has their potential draws - the cast is regularly laughing about ‘if we ever get an onni’ shenanigans and the incoming reynir particularly mentioned hoping to one day have an onni to harass, but on the flip side, Sigrun would be meeting her actual literal pantheon and she’d have a really easy time finding shit to leap into or drag the squad of misfits into.

For pacing, it seems like a huge game but most of the players are also somewhat busy with life so the pacing actually evens out to a solid medium in general tagging speed, with a general chill atmosphere of being hella down to backtag into forever. The overarching pace of the game’s happenings has actually just slowed down as a general mod decision, so now we can expect one event per month + one or two smaller localized opt-in happenings that most folks can totally ignore if they so choose. It’s also worth noting that top-levels to any given event trickle in over the course of a few days rather than the crazy immediate rush I’ve seen in some games.

If you have any more questions I’m totally down to answer them! C:

See, when you put it that way Onni sounds like a good bet. I've always thought he'd be hard to play in a game but if he had a cast, and a Reynir to bully...

This does sound super tempting, medium pace and backtagging is up my alley. Do you have a TDM or anything I could hit up?

onni would be a good bet. not only would he have some sort of pre-built CR (castmates obv but he'd also definitely be able to be Stern Mentor Cousin at a lot of the folks that lalli and tuuri know, whereas sigrun would likely care less about that) but his actual interaction with the setting and metaplot would likely be fascinating. lalli's experience has been really fascinating so far - i've done a lot of reading and extrapolating re: the lived experience of a fictional finnish mage, and lalli has spent like a month trying to reconcile with who and what he is now that he's out of reach of his gods, which finnish mages seem incredibly close to on a day-to-day basis. after a full month of basically putting air-quotes around 'gods' to talk about asgard's pantheon, he finally reconciled with his local patron god in something like gratitude for bringing tuuri back to him. i feel like onni's own journey with his gods .vs. these gods would probably be super interesting.

he can also be Super Grumpy with lalli re: all these fucking idiots running around thinking they're suddenly mages just because they can ~suddenly do a little magic~. :')

also-also, i'm laughing because his journal is ~scowlish and our tuuri is ~skaldish. how perfect is that?

(this sounds like i'm pushing on onni but honestly i'm equally happy for either of them!)

there's a new test drive up on the 15th, but if you want to hit the old one i'm 100% positive the cast + some of their cr will fling themselves at you regardless of how old the meme technically is.
